Too much isn't always a good thing...

Hi all, Yeah...I'm posting again and it's less than a week since my last post :) Well...I'm doing okay so far...wishing I know how much I weight right now but I can't since our scale isn't fixed yet. :P I've noticed that having too much of something like candies or meals isn't always good/satisfying. I've noticed that I don't feel so good afterwards. Trying to learn to eat more slowly- especially with tacos and pizzas! 2 of my top favorite meals... :-/ I'm trying to limit myself more and try to be more aware. Trying to drink a glass of water before each meal, thanks to a friend for the tip but I keep forgetting. Tryin not to next time :P I just recently brought a bag of m&ms (yeah I'm naughty/bad) since i had a walmart giftcard...kinda regret it now but I'm almost always craving sugar :-( Trying to make it last for few days or weeks but we'll see. I'm trying to go on more walks or at least get moving around more. Recently, I got a new app on my phone for exercising and it kinda helps- every time I record what I did for exercise or exercise and my phone tracks it, i get points to put toward rewards...pretty cool :D Well this isn't very long...just wanna record about what I've noticed, and what im up to sometimes. Hoping to figure out if i can do a new look and more spaces between posts since I don't want the posts to be clumped together :P But idk why it isn't working. Till next time...

Kinda failed my first goal of the week...

Hi, Well...my first week didn't go as well as I expected :P kinda failed at my goal of no sugar for a week. UGH. New goal for this week- move around more. I've noticed something though- my brothers and I were on our way back home from spending the weekend with some friends in another state and we stopped by McDonalds for dinner- I didn't really enjoy the food I ordered as much as I did- and I didn't feel so good afterwards. I'm kinda not surprised cuz we used to go out for fast food a lot long time ago but now not very often, which is good...right? I got some exercise this past weekend, though not as much as i hoped. One of my brothers got hurt during skiing- we went to the emergency room and they said they think it might be his Achilles tendon so he had a splint on and had to take it easy- i ended up helping him and taking care of him and only got to hang out a little with our friends. But today i took him to our doctor, since we came home yesterday and turns out it's just a bad sprain. He's on crutches for a while. I did have some sugar almost every day but not all week, thankfully...only friday- the only thing i had that was sweet/sugar was hot chocolate but no cookies or candies. Hopefully I can set smaller goals every day, thanks to a friend for the idea/tip. Here's to another new week...hopefully better than this past week?? I really can't wait for better and warmer weather, and spring so i can go on more walks outside!! :)

1st real goal for this coming week....

Yeah...the title is kinda boring but I'm trying to make sure I really do and keep the goal. I'm a sugar addict. :P I realized that I can't stop after only few cookies or something like that...but if its at a party or someones house I try to not eat too much. But whenever I buy candy or something like that it doesn't always last longer than 3 or 4 days before its gone :( I never really thought about it till I was reading one of Katie's (runsforcookies)old blogposts, and it brought to my attention that I have similar "problem" :P So...I'm saying this out here on my blog, so that it better really happen so i can keep the goal. Starting on Monday, for a week...I plan to try to not have any cookies or candy even tho it may be hard...only can have 2-3 on Wednesday since I'm responsible for making treats for GNC. Other than Wednesday, no cookies or candies. Let's see if it works that I can keep a goal or not... P.S. I will prolly post some pics of myself sometime but won't be showing my face just to be safe out here.

Update...

Hi! It's been too long...ops. I've been doing okay with weight loss- so far I've given up few times but now this time for real I'm more determined. Plenty of friends r supporting me...I'm thankful for them :) Our weight scale isn't working so I don't know what my current weight is right now, which stinks. I'm trying to get moving more and eating more better food- i'm trying to eat/resist sugar but it's not going well...not surprising since I'm an sugar addict. :P This is just a short post to say that I'll try to get back in the habit of blogging here so i can keep myself accountable besides my new Weight loss journal that i just started few days ago. I had to stop going to WW because i can't afford it anymore. It kinda stinks :( going there was really helpful and helped me be more accountable and plenty of support. And knowing how much I weight, etc. I plan to TRY to post at least once a week, and if it works well for a month or so i'll prolly try to post more often then. But for now...let's see how it goes... Signing off for now... -Hannah
