End of week one

So, it’s been exactly one week since i’ve started my health kick for lent. I can honestly say its been pretty easy except for during the move. I still don’t have any dishes put up or cleaned so I have gone to mcdonalds for a grilled chicken snack wrap and a fruit salad just about every night for dinner. (Side note: their honey mustard tastes like onions blehh). I did resist the fries! But other than that it hasn’t been that hard. I do have a giant bowl of temptation on my desk (easter candy for my coworkers) but its filled with stuff I don’t really like (nerds, taffy, pretty much non chocolate stuff) I can already feel a difference in the way
I feel. It’s like I feel lighter even though I haven’t lost any weight or at least I don’t think I have. The scale is still in a box somewhere. This weekend will really be a test of my discipline though. Julies birthday = dinner and drinks. Itll be interesting going out to a bar and ordering a cuba libre hold the rum..

Fat Tuesday brings Lent beginnings

Ive decided to start a blog. Im not sure how long this will last but I can say the reason I am doing this is to document my trials during lent. I am giving up junk food, red bull, and alcohol. This is going to be a great testament to my self-discipline in which only two outcomes can be seen. 1. I either go utterly insane with cravings to the point of being driven into madness with no chance of return or 2. I adapt to the healthier life style and don’t even notice when Easter comes and goes thus hopefully adopting my healthier lifestyle for good.

I can say the greatest challenge will be cutting out the junk food, since I eat it every day. This (for me) includes cookies, candies, any fast food minus subway.. of course, and basically anything that will outlast me in terms of lifespan. I was thinking about cutting out diet sodas too but lets not get crazy. I will update this weekly to show my progress, which means if its been two weeks and I haven’t updated this blog then option 1 has happened and you should probably start searching for me in the fast food chains. Ill be the one huddled in the corner with a mound of burgers and fries surrounding me like a little fort. Wish me luck!
