Lent-Day 40: FINAL DAY! REVIEW

Hello,

Wow it's been 40 days already?!? it just passed by like crazy. Lent is a very great process in my opinion it really helps out a lot physically and mentally. I feel like a better person these days, not only because I feel physically better but also because I feel pride that I accomplished such a difficult task for myself. Through-out the 40 days I had cravings and bad days and good days and a lot of okay days. Lots of the days blended into each other around halfway point, and some days were very hard. There were times when I didn't have very much time and I wanted a quick meal.. and there were times when even the thought of eating a burger from bk or McDonald's made me sick to stomach. 40 days down the line and I can honestly say at this point of time I have no desire to eat fast-food like BK and McDonald's or A&W and Wendy's etc. Of course there will still be times when I want quick food and I can't say that I will stay away from fast-food for ever, it doesn't work like that. I had a good process and I feel stronger will-powered then 40 days ago. What I didn't mention much is the whole point of this process, to get closer to God. I find myself being open to more concepts lately, even though I may not get them.. I just have to take a leap of faith and hope it's the right decision. Lets face it, none of us for sure know if anything is right or wrong.. so when it actually comes down to it, you're either going to be cynical or open-minded. I have always fought myself with taking the leap, I believe in God but always challenged whether the bible is his word or not. Without the bible you have a very open concept of a superior life form that is some wheres up there but no impact on life. I'd like to think  the bible is his word and it makes him into something so much more powerful then just a god, he's THE GOD.  It's taking me longer than I'd like, but its coming along.. one thing I have to take into consideration is what made this whole process so easy for me?-- so I have faith in the fact not only am I doing this for myself, but for a greater cause that will affect my life in a big way. I enjoyed blogging every day and having all of you read my struggles and positives, but everything good must end at some point. Alright everyone thanks for reading my daily blogs and you all have a good night!

Jeremiah 29:11--"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." 

Joshua 1:9--"Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

Lent-Day 39

Hello,

Today was a great day, went dyed eggs with family then went to walmart and then went to the casino with some friends. Out of the whole day I didn't want to have any fast-food which is good. Tomorrow is my last day of Lent. I am going to be doing a big summary and what I've learned and struggled with and things like that.

Okay good night all!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 38

Hello,

Twenty-Eight days into lent is done. Time just passes by like I'm watching a video montage.. everything in my life is going great right now, for once in my existence I'm where I want to be. I think that Lent is going so well because I want to do it and I have a reason to do it, as opposed to just "quitting". Today went good, like any other day.. no slips at all this last week. I haven't had a slip up at any point in this process--another day gone and 2 more to go!

Alright people, have a good night!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 37

Hello,

Lent is going great, will be coming to an end of 40 healthier days. 3 more days and on the 40th day I'll make it a summary of the whole process and issues and positives. Today went well, no issues what-so ever. I don't even want fast-food anymore the idea of it makes my stomach sick.. which is awesome. Well not much else to say..

Alright have a good night all!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 36(late)

Hello,

I've been so busy last couple days, so forgot to do a lent blog yesterday lol. I'm finally done school so now looking for work. I don't how it's going to be working when it comes to having no time eating out but I'll presume it will be the same as school. I went out to a movie last night and didn't have any pizza or popcorn and had the money! which is saying a lot because I had money and I love pizza lol. Anyways There is only like 4 more days of lent which is awesome, but I think I still may keep up cutting out fast-food, don't even want it.

Okay all, have a good day.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 35

Hello,

Wow so busy with finals and studying I completely forgot about the blog tonight. Well its been a busy day and I don't have much time so it's going to be quite short tonight. I stuck to my lent today, no cravings at all, which is good.

Okay sorry for so short, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 34-End of week review

Hello,

Another week done.. WHOA last week of lent. So this week has gone by fast.. it was a very busy week with last week of school and all. I never once fell to eating fast-food. All has been pretty typical day wise.. through-out the week like I said in last posts I brought lunches and ate at home for breakfast and supper. Nothing about fast-food I miss besides pizzas lol. Life is pretty good right now, everything is falling into place. Okay that's about it...

Have a good night all!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 33

Hello,

Today was a good day!, finished my last day of high-school for the rest of my life. I didn't have any cravings today, went out a bit rented movies etc.. but didn't once want to go out and pick up fast-food. I think I am losing weight(or I know I am) but think I'm losing more weight then I already had, also feel a heck of a lot better then I would after eating an unhealthy meal.

Well I'm done for tonight, have a good night all!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 32

Hello,

Today was one of those days that just went by with out me even knowing what happened lol. Again went to school and and went to moms coffee club, pretty average day. Not much to talk about really, only 8 days left on lent.. okay well that's pretty much it.

Have a good night all

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 31

Hello,

Everyone has different ways to quit something, some have just quitting cold or others have cutting back. People use different methods i.e will-power, and some use prayer, or some use supplementing for something else. I found that when I want to quit something or do something "I" have to want to, which when I do it isn't very difficult to do something. I thought fast-food was going to be a lot harder, I mean i have some struggles but not nearly as much as I thought I would have. Today was an easy typical day, school and brought a lunch then came home for supper. I want to take up something either a martial arts like kick-boxing or Brazilian jiu-jitsu or even a sport. I just want something active like that, and it will keep me entertained as well so I'll want to do it.

Okay all, have a good night

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 30

Hello,

Wow so just realized today is 10 days away from the end of Lent. Crazy how things work, just finished doing day 29 and it didn't even come to me but then when it came to 10s 20s and 30s, it clicks in lol. Anyways today went well, I didn't really have cravings. Although I did had subway but it was on whole wheat bread and a cold cut with lettuces tomatoes and pickles and cucumbers with little amount of light mayonnaise, so I think I am fine. Alright today's blog is shorter and is coming to an end.

Everyone have a good night!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 29(it's late I know, my bad!)

Hello,

So as you can tell this is a day late, why? because my mind is slipping with everything that's going on. Life is very hectic hah, anyways lets get straight to the point. Day 29 went good, no cravings or anything, everything went as planned. As I'm getting closer and closer to the finish I'm really forgetting things lol, with everything that's going on I forget if I did a blog or not today. Anyways, I am coming to an end, it's shorter today because at the moment I will be writing the 30ths lol.

Alright have a good night all!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 28-End of week update

Hello,

wow I almost forgot to make a blog today! :/ woops. Anyways better late then never right? okay so about the week, everything was typical this week.. still no slips or anything like that. I don't get as many cravings these days which is great. The week went well, I mean my eating habits are a lot less now and absolutely no fast food which is following my goal. Last week of school so I can't wait to be done!! yay. Anyways I want to get an accurate weighing because my scale is crazy. If my scale happens to be right I only lost 3 or 4 pounds. I am assuming I lost more because everything is looser on me.. so what ever happens happens.Okay I guess that is it, again no blog tomorrow as its a Sunday. So see ya Monday hah.

Have a good night all!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 27

Hello,

So 27 days into lent, and only 13 more to go! wow doesn't seem like its been that long. I believe I lost some weight which is good, my clothing is looser. I am still deciding if I want to continue this on past the actual Lent days.. of course I want to keep it going and most likely will but I'll want to go out as a celebration for finishing high school for good. Also for finishing the 40 days of Lent without failing and slipping. I might just celebrate the once and then keep up by still staying away from fast-food, like only eat it once in a blue moon. I don't even want bk or McDonalds, but one thing I do want is a pizza hah. Anyways today went well, no craving or anything like that.. I even went out to play pool while people ate food like nachos and fries and I got offered it while I still said no, thanks. I didn't even really want it, just the appeal of it being right there.

Alright well have a good night all!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 26

Hello,

Another day down, went good today. Another typical day, went to school came home, did homework lol. I never went out for any meals, and stuck to Lent once again. I am doing better today on craving pizza, not as much. In fact it's pretty much out of my mind which is good. One week left of school which is awesome, but going to be a busy week. So hopefully it won't be "have no time gotta eat", because that means I'll be wanting something fast lol. Okay well not much else to report..

Alright have a good night all!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 25

Hello,

I really want me some little ceasers pizzas, but I know I can't :/ *crosses arms and sighs while pouting*  anyways , today was like usual, a very boring day at school. Again I brought a lunch so didn't eat out and never went anywhere for food. The only thing I'm craving is little ceasers pizzas, its like crack.. I GOTTA HAVE IT! lol. But I know I can't so I'm making myself not eat any of it or think about it and think about something else. Okay it's going to be a small blog today because I have homework..

Have a good night all

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 24

Hello,


Everything is going great so far, haven't really had any troubles. I've had like 2 that I could think of but I didn't do anything, just had temptations. I'm coming to the end of school so, as you could imagine I'm very busy and don't really have time to go out and eat anyways. I'm feeling a lot better, whether its I'm losing weight or the fact that my body feels healthier so everything is easier to do. I didn't only quit fast-food when I started this, I also quit pop/eating out in general. I actually like bringing lunches to school/work and going home to eat for supper. It's cheaper and healthier and one thing I've been noticing was I get full easily now, which is good for my health but bad for the fact I always end up having left overs and feeling like I didn't get my fair share because of the way I used to eat.

Alright people, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 23

Hello,

Had my first strong temptation for fast-food today, with the weather and having a little bit of money after school I really wanted to pick up a little ceasers pizza. I would normally do that on rainy days and I want supper quickly lol. I just told myself to wait till I get home to eat and it worked, my will-power is getting much stronger these days. Other then that today was an easy day, like I said rainy day plus school didn't go out really so easier to stay away from eating out. Not much to report other then that, beginning of week so bring it on week!

Okay all, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 22-End of week review

Hello,

So once again we come up to the end of week review. I believe this is the 4th end of week, which means its been a month.. but doesn't add up its 5 days before a month lol. Anyways, things are going really good, no temptations at all this week. I don't even feel like eating fast-food when driving by or even in the places anymore, which is great. I find myself eating less these days as well, and I am still trying to cut out eating at night but I sure cut back, I mean I will only have one small thing between 7-2 or w.e time I'm up till. On Thursday was the halfway point, which was kinda encouraging in the fact I've made it half way already with no errors.

Alright people, here is to another week! have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 21

Hello,

Went to a free steak dinner tonight and the best part is it was healthy :) it was so good, had potatoes and salad as well. I had a not to small not to big portion as well, which is good don't want to over-eat. Reason I'm telling you all this is because fast-food isn't the only thing to eat out which is good for me because I don't want to only eat at home. Today was an easier day, didn't want any fast-food or pop or anything like that. I don't want to jinx anything because I'm not completely sure, but as far as I can tell my pants are looser and my one shirt that just barely fits me fits me good now.. so I'm hoping anyways but even so it takes time. 

Okay all, have a great night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 20

Hello,

So today was the halfway point of Lent, which I told you guys yesterday too, but I'm happy I made it this far so had to say again lol!. Life has been very busy, with school, homework and of course... life. Today was an easy day, had no desires what so ever to eat fast-food.. it just flew by. I'm in a hurry because I gotta get back to homework, so its going to be a short one today.

Alright people, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 19

Hello,

I've decided that I'm going to be clarifying fast-food as Burger King, McDonalds, A&W Wendy's etc.. so I'm not saying I'm fasting eating out in general, but I am still going to stay away from eating out in general, doesn't matter where and if I do, just a salad and water type of think. Everything is so crazy right now, staying away from fast-food isn't the hardest task to take on. Which is nice because it's been 19 days into lent, 1 more day until the half way point :). Today went well, went to school had really no issues with eating out brought my own lunch. Lunch hours are kinda difficult because my friend always wants to eat lunch with me and he buys his lol, but I just tell him to eat in cafe and I can eat mine as well.

Alright guys, another day gone.. have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 18

Hello,

18 days into Lent, 22 left.. the time has just passed by like crazy.  I am almost at the half way point, which is cool because it doesn't feel like it's been that long.. anyways being a broke student kinda helps out in not eating fast-food, not saying if I had money I would just saying its easier hah. One thing I forgot to do when I started this was clarify what I am giving up, like for instance I say fast-food.. okay well what is defined as fast-food? what I ended up just doing is basically staying away from eating out anywhere, once in awhile I would but had a salad. What would I think about a subway sandwich is that fast-food in a sense??  again I just don't eat out so that included subway as well. It doesn't really matter to me anyways, if i quit one I gotta quit them all, cheaper :P.. but anyways today went good, was easy and busy.

Alright people, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 17

Hello,

Times are certainly getting tougher, as I'm getting close to being done school I'm having less time with homework and everything. I found another reason I ate fast-food, no time.. I'm finding it harder to keep this up when I am busy, it seems like such a good idea to go and buy a burger when I'm out of time to make anything else. It's not to bad, I mean I still have a handle on it, but just more difficult.. I'm relying more on my will-power and faith these days because without it I would lose this battle.  I'm obviously late on getting this blog done because I had lots of homework and had little time to do it this evening because I helped my uncle sell his van. Well still keeping up Lent, Haven't slipped once, although on Sunday, I had a Slurpee, which I'm not sure is breaking anything because its not fast-food and it was Sunday.

Alright all, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 16-End of week update

Hello,

People always say they're going to quit something, whether it be quitting smoking, drinking; drugs or even TV,  either way I would say at least 60% of the time they fail and give up. What I've found over time for me is if I'm not the one who is initiating quitting something, I will never make it. I have to want to do it, not because its bad for me, or its hard or others told me its a good idea to do it. I find quitting something is like changing a way of yourself, which is very hard to do so. I wanted to do Lent, for many reasons, but I wanted to do it... it's going really well, and a lot easier then I thought it would have been. Today went well, same with all the other days so far and I of course had fast-food on my mind sometimes but I never gave it. Almost anything is possible when you set it in your mind as a goal, and I know that sounds cheesy but it's true.. the human brain is a lot more capable of understanding things than we are aware of. As long as it's physically possible or mentally, then it can be accomplished.

Okay all, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 15

Hello,

Having money when fasting is quite a challenge, everything is easier when you can't buy it. When you walk by a restaurant or store, you feel like stopping and getting something. Earlier today I had the day off and I was bored, and hungry.. I left the house to find something to do and had some-what of a feeling to go and buy the food. I convinced myself to go home and eat, and it did work, just quite a difference. Alright today's been good, no urges or anything, days are just passing by quickly.

Alright, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 14

Hello,

A friend of mine asked something on his blog about Lent, which I really thought was a profound question and I totally asked myself this same question. "Are you a person that actually values the journey? Or are you a person that just gives up something because you think that's what you should do?" Now I'm going to be completely honest, I am doing this because I want to lose weight and I thought this was a great challenge and opportunity to quit eating fast-food and pop. I'm not saying I'm not doing this to get a better relationship with God, but I find myself at a point where I am comfortable. Anyways, I personally enjoy the journey of the process, it really tests you, and it tests how far you can go or willing to go. When I first started this I felt it was something I should do, but then it ended up being quite a journey. So in a way I did this for both reasons. Today was a little bit harder of a day, I kept having times that I wanted to and could eat fast-food, but I still ended up not eating any. I went for a walk with a friend so got some exercise as well. Today was a good day.

Alright guys, have a good one!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 13

Hello,

It's funny, every night at around 9 or 10 or 11 I just feel the need to come on here and blog about Lent or the struggles. Remember when I said days were blending together so I have a hard time telling them a part? well it's still kinda like that except the past few days have been a little eventful with the snow storm. I'm the type of guy who would eat when I'm bored.. but I am trying to curve that because part of the reason I am doing this is because I want to lose weight. Today has been an easy day for not eating fast-food, something I thought would be difficult turned out not to be.. I got paid some money today and when I went out to get it and went to visit a few places and talk to them, not once I man ONCE did I think hey I'm bored and out and I have money I should buy fast-food. I came back a little while later to find out my friend Steven came by and my mom and him were worried I went out for food, the funny part of this is, it never even came to my mind.. which is a big step in my opinion the fact I'm not even wanting it anymore. I don't even consider it something I do.

Alright guys, have a good night!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 12

Hello,

Lent is going great, I have been having the strength to not eat fast-food several occasions while I was out in these past few weeks. Today I didn't go out much of course because of the snow storm.. but I just got back from going out with a friend and he had a drink and fries, and he offered to buy me what ever I wanted, so as you could tell it was troubling. Normally I would of just ordered fries or a burger or something, and I definitely would of taken him up on his offer, but I don't know whether its the fact I want to not eat it or the fact I am stronger when I am doing it for a reason, but I was able to not even want one fry. I had just a water and and sat and talked with(I wont lie some temptations) but never did I act on them, which in my book is a win. I'm aware that technically all I'm doing Lent on is fast-food, but I have made myself for about a month now quit pop too, and I feel a lot better when I don't eat fast-food or drink pop.

Alright all, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 11

Hello,

Today went well, was at school for the majority so didn't have time for fast-food anyways. Things seem to be getting kinda repetitive in my opinion, the days are blending together.. maybe it's because of being close to finishing school so busy or I don't know? but it works for me. It's only 11 days into lent, yet it's feeling like its been 3 weeks to a month.. oh well it isn't as hard as I thought it would be. Everything is going well up to date, it's the start of a new week, and hope it will be as good as last week.

Okay all, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 10-End of week update

Hello,

So today went well, again no urges to buy fast-food. My money didn't come in when it was supposed to and for that I am broke, didn't really do anything today which made me bored which made me hungry.. but on the same note, at least even if  I did go out I couldn't buy anything :P. The point that I didn't even want to when I was bored is a positive step forward. Well I've gone through the second week of the process, this week went good, at no point did I cave into eating fast food. I believe at times there was some points this week where I could of had free meals and even passes on it, but I managed to stay away from eating it. All in all, even though it's only been 10 days of Lent, I feel better about myself, feel healthier. Alright so as you guys know, each Sunday is a day off from Lent so I won't be writing a blog tomorrow. I will be not eating fast food and still following what I started though, so that I don't fall back into my old ways. I just don't want to chance it...

Okay guys have a good night!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 9

Hello,

Today went well again, no wanting to go out and eat fast-food. Today was quite a busy day so I really had no chance hah. Anyways gonna be a short one this time have a good night all

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 8

Hello,

Today went well, I was in school for most of it. Later my on my friend Steven wanted to hang out and we ended up going to Venis House, which he offered to buy me a meal.. and it was very tough for me to not buy a burger or a pizza! but I managed to make myself do it even with some argument stating it's not a fast food place, it's a restaurant. I had all of the motive in the world to eat, free meal easy access but I relied on my will power and God and it worked.. I ended up eating a salad. Today ended up to be a pretty good day.

Alright all, have a good night.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 7

Hello,

Sorry I'm late! lol busy night! anyways today went good, no impulses at all and I even drove past little Ceasers which believe me is very difficult with there damn $5 pizza's lol. The days are getting shorter it seems, whether its because I'm eating healthier or its because they're busy days.. either way I don't care things are working out for me.

Alright thanks for reading, Have a good night all.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 6

Hello,

So today went well, I went to school all day and had to take care of some business after it and went downtown and then went home. Not once today did I feel the need to go and pick up or eat fast-food, which is my books is a good day :P. In a way I think most of my success with this is the fact that I am doing this for living a purer life and also that "I" wanted to do it and not because I was told too. Well not much to report today its been a pretty straight forward day.

Alright, Have a good night guys!

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 5

Hello,

Today went well, was back at school so I had to talk myself out of going out for lunch to a fast food place. I really didn't feel the need to eat out today which was good, in fact it's so busy with school and homework I almost forgot to make a blog today hah. I packed a lunch and ate it which was better and cheaper for me anyways, so that part was nice and easy. Now on Sunday as you guys already know it's a day of rest and I didn't even have to do Lent, but I chose to stay away from fast-food anyways because if I ate it I know I would want more so I didn't. I was still tested I felt on Sunday because without even thinking about it I went out with some people I know and it was around supper and they took me to A&W and even offered to buy me a meal, but I very hesitantly thought about it.. it's my day off and it wouldn't be against any rules... but I just said "Thank you for the offer, but I'm actually doing a thing called Lent and the thing I chose to give up was fast food" so they asked me about it and offered me anything and I just ate a salad. So as you can see God really tested me, and I believe I did well and passed, so hopefully my strength will continue over the next 35 days of Lent.

Okay thanks for viewing, have a good night. PS: sorry I'm so late :P

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 4-also review of week

Hello,

So this is day #4 of the 40 day Lent Process, and since it's a Saturday I will be doing my weekly review I promised. Unfortunately since uploading videos on here isn't working I will only be doing a text review on here. Day #1 went very smoothly, of course since it's the 1st day hah. Day #2 went just as smoothly, I had like no urges to eat fast food and I was successful in not eating any. Of course, it was my week off so I got bored at times which I mentioned before.. boredom=weakness to eat fast food. Yet even though I was bored and hungry I still managed to not fall for the cheapness and readiness of fast food restaurants. Day #3 was pretty much the same as the other two days, I had a few urges because I was bored but I just ignored them and ate normally. Today day #4 was very easy for me, I kept myself busy so eating never even came up in my mind so no urges or weakness to go and get some. Lets not forget the fact of being broke makes everything easy when not eating fast food, unfortunately the days when I have money will be the greatest challenges. I am lacking on the whole getting closer to God in this challenge, even though I am happy with where I am at in my faith..  I would still like to use this opportunity to get closer and a stronger faith. I have been getting used to just living, and not worrying about money or work. Well I have 36 days left of Lent, and I can't wait to see what this process brings me during it all. I would like to think after it's all done I can do Lent as way to quit another thing I shouldn't be doing, like eating healthier which is a much harder task.

Okay well I am coming to an end, sorry it's shorter than I thought it would be.. but what can you do? it's all in the process and that's all I've got to talk about :P. Okay have a good night all.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 3

Hello,

So day #3 went pretty good, I had no urges at all to have fast-food. I believe a lot of the time it's in the person's head that they are hungry.. But I mean yes I get hungry, and all I really need is something small. For me fast-food always was just a snack(I know that's sad but I can eat a lot :P), I mean some fast-food meals filled me, but only the big ones which were really bad for me. I can eat pasta and a meat and veggies and actually be full with one helping.

Alright so this concludes day #3, have a good night all.

-Clifford Villeneuve

Lent-Day 2

Hello,

So this was day #2 in the 40 day Lent process.  Well again, not much to say.. I was a little bored earlier and when I get bored I like to eat(I know, it's a bad habit) but when I was bored the first thought that came to my mind was well I'm bored and hungry, might as well kill 2 birds with one stone and go out for some food.. where can I go?. At that point I reminded myself I can't, I'm doing Lent. Well I've done different things in the past to make me stronger in not going out for food, I've prayed and kept eating apples or other vegetables which is difficult for me considering I don't like most vegetables lol. Usually when I quit I struggle and eventually go back to my old ways, but for this time, even though it's only 2 days in.. I got a feeling about it. Maybe its the power of Christ behind me, knowing I'm doing it for him makes me stronger? I don't know but what ever it is, it's working.

So now day 2 ends, and keeps me waiting for day 3 to start. Have a good night all.

Lent-Day 1

Hello,

So now day 1 is done in the 40 days of Lent. Well not much to report, I mean today was easy because #1 its the first day and #2 I have no money :P. All jokes aside I had no desires to go eat fast food or nothing brought it up to mind. Now I made a video for the introduction but it doesn't want to upload to here.. so I'll try one more time and if worst comes to worst I can always upload to Facebook for you guys to watch, but I would much rather have it here. On Saturday, I may instead of make a video just make a larger in length blog and summarize how the first week went.

Alright, which now brings me to a close, have a good day.

Introduction

Hello,

My name is Clifford and I'm going to be doing Lent for the next 40 days. Starting February 22nd 2012, I will be cutting out all fast food  from my life until April 8th, 2012.

 Here is a description of lent: Basically Lent is a season of the Christian faith year, where one would give up something they love for 40 days to focus on simple living, prayer and fasting. Lent is the forty days before Easter, except Sundays because Sundays are considered to be like Easter.

I will be doing a daily blog every day of the week and talk about how things are going, whether or not I'm having urges to eat fast food or if its making me feel better. Also to see whether or not things are improving health wise and see if  I feel the need for fast food anymore or not. I will also be seeing if I've lost any weight in those days. Depending on my camcorder, I will be attempting to make a video every week to talk about how the week went and summarize everything I've talked about throughout the week as well.

Okay, here goes nothing.
