I'm is sick..

My head feels like its about to explode!!

I came home from work and instantly fell asleep.. now its 2 in the morning and I'm miserably awake and I cant get back to sleep.. its a wonder how many of my friends are up at this ungodly hour... I guess I shouldn't complain because my poor friend Jason is up driving all over the country making deliveries.

With all my suffering, I haven't put much thought into the Lenten season. I am Catholic so I need to begin my fast like ASAP. But instead of giving up things that wont necessarily change much about my life or my contribution to society according to God's will, I am thinking about adding something in to my life.

Me and my boss were joking about me coming in to work on time every day for Lent or going to work out one morning for Lent but I need to be doing something that's going to help me grow closer to God. So, I am going to devote a portion of my lunch time to quiet prayer and reflection as I seek out God's guidance and direction in my life so that He may be able to have every opportunity to use me as He sees fit. My heart and mind needs to stay tuned to him... this would be a good way to cut out or deflect any distractions that might come my way!

Well, this post turned out to be pretty productive. My weight loss on the other hand has not been. Over the course of Mardi Gras, I gained 2.6 lbs so I have some serious catch up to do if I'm going to stick to my goals... All is not lost though. I am going to be having a very healthy omelet for breakfast and for lunch, a salad and sandwich. I am going to ease back into planning my meals so that I am not taking in more than 1400 calories (my diet planner said 1600 but I really think thats too much). And then whenever I get over these horrible sneezing bouts, I'll get back in the gym and sweat off my frustrations (which I definitely have some major ones now lol).
