We'll See How It Goes

I'm understanding more and more why I love fast food...I am so tired of finding multiple meals every day. And my fridge is still being dumb so cereal, which is the most convenient-non fast food meal there is, is most times out of the question because I don't have time to wait for my milk to defrost-if I even bother to waste time/money buying milk and cereal anymore. Also, I'm so tired of sandwiches that I refuse to even buy bread and lunch meat for the time being...we will see how this works out. Right now it's just annoying and more hassle than it is liberating. One more week til spring break...I don't know how this is going to work out for real.

I've decided to make healthy decisions for lent. Overall, just actually trying to do what's best for myself mentally, physically, and spiritually. I think that is the point of lent anyways, so instead of just picking one thing to better myself I'll try to do a full turn around, and hopefully with that comes more peace.

Now that I'm back from New Orleans I can focus on that better. I did great at not getting fast food on the almost 7 hour drive there and back. Spring Break is only a week away...I need to figure out what I will do so I don't break the fast.

So.....

I have no idea what to give up for lent cause I usually give up fast food........so....I guess I should figure it out since it started today...

Sacrifices Yield Rewards

I made spaghetti yesterday and it was wonderful. If nothing else, this fast will allow me to explore new food options within my limits. When I actually make a meal, it is filling and I don't feel disgusting or bloated or drained to a point where I am no longer good for anybody.

It's been slightly difficult though since we had two snow days from school just after the weekend. Don't get me wrong, I loved it. But at times I was stir crazy and just wanted to get something so I wouldn't be in the room all day. I realized when I don't have much to do in a day I have too much time to sit and think about what I can't do and what I can't eat. But, that's just a personal problem I need to fix. I do have another conference coming up. So that will be another obstacle that I have to face. And just two weeks after that is spring break.

Tough days up ahead, but as long as I have spaghetti like yesterday, I know I can enjoy being without fast food.

SuperBowl Sunday

My friends and I are the biggest kids ever. We had so much fun watching the SuperBowl. During half time we went to the grocery store and bought three different half cakes, cinnamon rolls, and ice cream...thats so pathetic but it was hilarious and we all suffered from a sugar coma. We also missed most of the third quarter, but anywho it's the SuperBowl! You're supposed to pig out...we also had the typical wings and punch...No i didn't break the fast, I ate in the caf. How unbelieveable is that! Me and the caf...but they actually had football food which you can't really mess up...it wasn't the best but it was tolerable and they had paper plates so I didn't have to use the gross dishes....dont get used to me going there. It's still not a real option for getting food.

Cajun Pasta

I had an amazing meal at chillis last night. I wasn't supposed to be spending money until after the tenth, but I am so tired of water and sandwiches. No body should have to eat the same meal twice a day for ten days in a row...it's awful. But the break was well worth it. And I had no fast food. It's kinda just annoying now cause I don't have any full/real meals...So the financial fast is wavering, last night was my only real slip, but I'll try to get back on the wagon for the final four days. But the fast food fast is still kickin.

Ugh

Days like today is the reason why I am doing this fast. I'm doing so much that when I go off campus to pick up supplies it's all to easy to just stop at Taco Bell or something and eat it in the car while I rush to class. I'm glad I held strong but the end of this year seems so far away...this sucks so much.
