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!

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!

Lent-Day 37

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!

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

Okay sorry for so short, have a good night.

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!

-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

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!

-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!

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.
