Well here we go again Lent and another round of no fast food and no soda, needless to say so far so good and this go around I have more temptation to give in to those things that I love so much and they tend to love me so much they stick to my hips, thighs and several other place in between, but I have said no and kept on moving. So how do I have more temptation this go around compared to last year, well my friends I will tell you. Given where I live now there is always and I mean always soda in the house, and I have a case of my favorite soda in the fridge that I walk by and get into every day, and there it sits, staring at me teasing me with that idea of just grab it you know you want it, I can see it in the way you look at me, you know you want me…ok that total sounds a little dirty but its all good, I turn it down and just keep on walking.
Then there is the fast food, and again where I’m living now fast food tends to be a norm. For example this morning when I was getting ready for work there in the fridge were two Arby’s sandwiches and damn they looked good to eat and man would it have been easy to just grab and go on my way to work, or like tonight they were going to get Taco Bell, and being very nice I said I would make the run for them and go get food but I was going to stop at Subway for my self…which turned into everyone getting subway so in the end it was all good, fast food stop averted. Now granted I gave up fast food last year but I think some times you need a little push to get restarted back on track and yes it is a lot easier then it was last year. Now the Soda we all know my down fall with this damn drink, so if there is something that is really going to challenge me it is going to be the soda, but so far I have kept the course and I have been staying away from it, the down part the caffeine headache I got today. I’m not getting the same amount of caffeine I was when I was drinking soda soooooo the headaches are kicking in. Again total like a junkie having withdrawals good damn time…Which really all that meant was I ended up making a Starbucks run to get my Grande Soy Vanilla Late which by the way tasted amazing and total fixed my craving, for today.
Over all I’m total kicking butt on this years Lent, and I even have temptations out the butt pushing me to just give in, but I guess this is where were able to find our strength, find out what drives us to keep pushing forward, to know that when this comes to an end you were able to accomplish something, and you get the chance to find out who you are and what you can do. A chance to start making changes to become who you want to be. All though it maybe something small like giving up Soda and Fast food, it normal the small things that help you accomplish the over all goal.
So for all of you who gave up something for Lent, Good Luck and don’t give into temptation it will be over soon J
