Nothing exciting has happened the last 2 days. Yesterday was Ash Wednesday and my husband is Catholic and I have hand me down Catholicism so we decided on what to give up for Lent. He decided to cut out all junk food. (ie. McD's, Burger King, Pizza, Taco Bell , candy, etc) I decided to be a bit more specific. Because I have been planning on devouring everything on Taco Bell's menu when I get home, I have decided to cut out McD's, Burger King, Pizza (thats going to be the hardest), and alcohol (this will be difficult too). I thought this was fair, as well as difficult since the point of lent is to fast on something you love to show your devotion to "The Big Guy." I think it will also help me with my healthy eating phase...
When I was six or seven years old, I hated soda. I don't know if it was the carbonation or the taste, but I hated it. The dentist used to praise me for it and give me extra stickers because I didn't like it. But when I was in my pre teen years, everyone was obsessed with it and I think I followed suit to fit in. I aquired the taste for it and loved it; especially Dr. Pepper (I still choose that over any type of soda). So, a couple years ago, I gave soda up for lent. Low and behold, I am no longer a soda drinker. I will have the occasional soda with my cocktail or at the movies, but I can go without. I probably have 10 cans of soda a year, if even that! My point is...you don't realize what you don't need until you challenge yourself to not have it. Hopefully, this no fast food and no alcohol with stick with me for the long run. I don't need any of it and I know that I will probably get sick from Taco Bell the first night I get back from Germany, which will condition me to hate Taco Bell (or love it even more, I'm not sure...).
For all you dieters out there. Try eating pineapple more. Although it is a little higher in calories, pineapple helps with imflamation and digestion! I love it and have been eating it every day. They must be in season because they are so juicy and sweet right now!
Two more days until the big game. Pray for a win!
1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
2 cappacinnos
1 salami sandwich with cheese
Later on tonight...
1 chicken breast
sauted mushrooms and zuccini yum!
156 (I am back to my starting weight...round 2)
It's hard to believe you can find your husband when you are 14 years old!
