Last week, I learned the true meaning of Fat Tuesday/Mardi Gras. Did you know, that the whole point to Fat Tuesday is to go wild and crazy and overload yourself on whatever it is you're giving up the next day (Ash Wednesday) for Lent? I had no idea.
In honor of Ash Wednesday I searched my Day Zero list for something I could check off, something to rid myself of for the next 40 days. First, I thought about Goal #82, Give Up Fast Food for one month. I figured - Why not add 10 more days onto that month?? Then I thought back to the last time I had fast food...December 31, 2009. SOO - Goal #82 has already been accomplished without me realizing! The next best thing on my list to give up is Eliminate soda to one per week, (Goal #29). Forget the one per week - after today, I'm quitting soda cold turkey for the next 40 days. Hopefully, for good - but if that's too much to handle, I'll go back to the original plan of one per week. I'm thinking this will be fairly easy - soda has been losing its awesome taste to me. Usually, I have soda because I'm looking for the fizz...so, next time I go grocery shopping - I'm going to pick up some seltzer water to help me through the fizz cravings.
In other news, Valentine's Day was on Sunday. Happy belated Valentine's Day!! Doug and I had a nice low key day at home. He made breakfast. We watched mindless TV and stayed in our pajamas all day. He me a pot roast for dinner. I put on some Boyz II Men jams and lit our wedding unity candle to make it a little more romantic/less every day dinner-esque. You wouldn't believe how much a little bit of Candlelight and I'll Make Love To You can change a mood. It was really the best, most romantic dinner I think we've ever had. AND - I'm now able to check off Goal #13, Have Dinner By Candlelight.
