Definitely hard sometimes

I now know it's harder than i thought, especially with resisting sugar. :P I made puppy chow for my brother's class tonight and since I was driving him and staying to bring him home afterwards, of course I wanted to have some. I snitched some while making it earlier. Same thing with making treats for Good News Club. Why is it so hard??? Last 2 weeks I didn't have any sugar while my brother was in class, which I consider a small success but not tonight. I need to remember to make small goals instead of big ones. It may be overwhelming to me sometimes. I'm still trying sometimes. Just sure wish I can get rid of all junk food but my family might not be happy with me. And besides, I need to make treats for Good News Club and we sometimes go out too but thankfully not as often as we used to. I really can't wait for warmer weather and spring- NO MORE SNOW, please!! I really want to go on more longer walks...I miss it a lot. It's harder than i thought on keeping a food journal. But i need to make it a habit soon, so i can become more aware of what I'm eating. Every step I notice or make progress makes me happy. I need lots of motivation. I've noticed that a small service of custard (1 scoop) at Culvers is better for me than 2 or more...my brother and i used a coupon yesterday for 2-scoop sundae and I barely could finish mine...kinda too much for me, and I'm glad to know that and need to remember that for next time I want to get one. Well that's all I can think of to write right now.

Stairs "workout"

Long time since I've posted...but not really. My phone isn't working right now...accidentally dropped it in the snow so right now I can't keep track of how many steps i've taken, and stuff like that :( and it's not fun having to ask my siblings to text for me...I really hope that my phone can be fixed or I might have to get a new one. I'm not happy about it since I have tons of pics and info and I'm afraid to lose them all. Anyways...I'm doing alright so far- got plenty of exercise this past weekend and today. Last weekend, my sister and couple of friends and I went to MN to visit my other sister and go to an conference (which was pretty good). So i got plenty of exercise by walking around a lot. And I actually had to try some new food- normally I'm not big fan of trying new food cuz Im kinda scared to try, and I'm comfortable with normal food. Anyways...I tried stir-fry veggies for the first time at the conference for our lunch since I had no choice- and it wasn't as bad as I thought...lol. Def interested in trying it again at home or other places :) And my sister who is living in MN for a couple of months is staying at a lady's house, and the lady is a nurse so of course there was plenty of healthy food. We had some kind of meatloaf that IDK what was in it but it's totally different from what I had at home and it wasn't that bad. Also, my sister ordered Papa Murphys pizza for saturday night and normally I like just meat and cheese, stuff like that...but she ordered chicken one with different toppings...and it wasn't that bad as I expected :) Today, my brother and I worked for my aunt at her house and I got PLENTY of exercise...yay/ugh. LOL. I had to bring up lots of boxes- some heavy, some light, etc. and bring them up the stairs to the attic. It was tiring...my legs and arms are pretty sore but now not so much. So...that's all I can think of now to report/update y'all. I'm just curious...if anyone is really reading my blog can y'all please leave a comment? Thanks!! Till next time, Hannah

A small victory, new idea

As I said before, I brought a bag of m and ms few days ago while food shopping for my family. Almost ate all of it but last night i realized it didn't make me feel good- so i gave away the last to my siblings and dad. Now there's none left for me to eat. Of course, this morning I kinda regretted it but it's done. :) I'm hoping to TRY to not have any sugar to get back in being used to not so much sugar as I did way back then...since I realized that if there's no sugar around here in the house I don't always crave it, which is good. Yesterday, I had an idea- and did it last night. So I'm going to try to do it every day this month and see how it goes.
