Lent--Week #2 Review

Hello all,

This last week has been busy. Lent this year isn't working out the same as my last but I mean I am carrying on with my sacrifices and I'm reading the bible a lot more which means I'm doing something right. Besides I think it's better to have week reviews instead of day ones because it gets kinda repetitive in a way. My main problem this week was keeping up with reading a chapter a day.. I read the bible a bit each day and catch up later so I think that is working out in its own way. Fast food I have had no problem keeping a way from this year, but junk food is tough. Considering Junk food can be a lot of different things. I have kept away from chips, pop, etc.. I ate a few candies but I stopped that immediately. I walk a lot lately because of having no car, so that part I figure is going good.  Honestly, the funny part is the toughest part of this years lent is taking time to do the blogs :P.


Anyways, that is all. Thanks for taking the time to read this and following my process!

Good night

Lent--Day 6 and 7 Review

Hello,

So due to business and work hours not timing right, I am going to be only doing a blog entry update once a week. Anyways, Those days like I said were busy, but I still stayed away from fast food and junk food and pop. I walked much more then 30 minutes the last 2 days, and I am reading the bible as much as I can. So all in all, I'm doing not to bad. Alright good night all

Lent--Day 4-5(been busy sorry for being late)

Hello,

So these last couple days have been busy and I have not been able to do my blog entry. But never fret, I am back! my lent is going good in my eyes, I took on 3 things this year and one being the largest of no junk food. I haven't fell for any fast food or pop or chips donuts etc.. even though at times they were presented to me. I have been walking a lot lately because of work and yesterday I walked an extra hour to do some things today I just walked a lot and kept myself busy at work. Now reading the bible a chapter a day has been quite a challenge for me, simply because I am usually doing lots during the days and i work during the evenings which brings me to the nights, where I am sleepy. But I have managed to keep it up some what, I caught myself up yesterday and I will read again before bed. All in all been a good time so far.

Alright, I might sleep now so good night all.

Lent--Day 3 Review

Hello,

So day 3 of lent has passed, it's crazy because with my job and hours I've been living by I never get a chance to do these until 12-3 in the morning. Today was a good day, I did not eat any junk food today.  My walking 20-30 minutes a day goal wasn't met today, although I walked a lot more then 20-30 minutes today all through the day. I am going to be reading a chapter tonight so I hope I don't fall asleep lol. I had my Young Adults today and bought everyone timbits and I didn't have any, which was difficult :P.

Anyways, that concludes day 3.. But I must get to bed, good night all.

Lent--Day 2(Sorry kind of late)

Hello,

Sorry it's so late, it's just with my work hours I don't usually get home till 12. Anyways, today went pretty well. I walked around for about 30 minutes or more and not once did I eat out or ate any junk food. I have money now because of work and yet I still stay away, which means I'm stronger willed about this then I thought. Reading the bible so far isn't going as great as the rest, when I read it everything is fine but I seem to have a problem reading a chapter at 2 in the morning.. lol. So I think what I'm going to start doing is reading it in the day so I don't have to worry about it by the night. I'm hoping by the end of this 40 days I'll be fitter and eating less and a good portion through the new testament. With reading the bible I started off reading in Mathew of the new Testament, so I'll read through the new testament then go through to the old testament.


Alright, I hope everyone had a good valentines day and a good night.

Lent--Day 1 review

Hello,

 So day one has passed by and was quite successful. I have taken on more challenges for lent this time, one of the again is the main one which is giving up Junk food for 40 days. I have done something similar last year, which was giving up fast food. This year I went a little deeper, as well as taken on a couple other ones. The other ones include adding reading a chapter a day of the bible to get closer to God. Last but not least I always added the challenge of making sure I go on walks of at least 20-30 minutes a day. Today I didn't eat any junk food as well as walked to the bank and bank which took about 30 minutes or so with the bad weather. I also worked so didn't get a chance to read which I am going to do so right after this, I think it was quite a successful first day of lent.

Alright, thanks for reading and following me through this challenge.. have a good night!

The beginning

Hello,

So the challenge begins again. This time I have made it a little more challenging then the last time, instead of just cutting out fast food, I am going to stop eating junk food in general. That includes Chips, candy, pop corn, pop, fast food(Burger King, McDonalds, A&W, Wendy's, Arby's etc). I am also going to be adding something to my life, which is reading the bible, let's say a chapter a day?. Another thing I am going to be adding to my life is walking once a day for 30 minutes for those 40 days and hopefully afterwards too. I realize that piling on to much can be quite struggling which may cause me to relapse into my old ways. But the way I see it, is go big or go home. I have been feeling a calling from God lately which includes the path for me of starting up a Young Adults as well as associating my self with fellow youth groups and young adults around the city to get a feel of it. So my faith has been increasing ever so slightly as the days past and I hope this experience will help me with that as well.

Alright folks, that completes my introduction to this trip. Have a good night and have a good experience during lent.
