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!

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!

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

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

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!

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!

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.

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.

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.
