Well, after reading multiple blogs about how people are working to get in shape, etc...etc.. I have decided that it's time to do an experiment myself. It's going to be REALLY hard for me, but I am going to hold to it! My friend (you know who you are ..) even though she is not catholic had a really fun thing going on. In respect for the catholic tradition of witholding from something until Easter time ( I can't remember the term...sorry for those who are catholics reading this...I'm not catholic but I respect what you do :D ) and well my friend did this with sweets. SO....one of my most FAVORITE things in this WHOLE WORLD!!!! ......sweets. I have decided to do without junk food for the WHOLE month of MAY and see how things go. SO: I say no to the following starting at 00:00 also known as 12am to those in the states:
NO Nutella .......*tear!!!*
I love Nutella SO MUCH that I literally could have a bath in it like this lovely lady has demonstrated for us:
and when I really get excited, I get caught with a look like this on my face. Lucky for me I have been able to dodge the camera, unfortunately this fellow has been caught RED HANDED!! or I should say..NUTELLA HANDED!! *shame* poor kid will have a scar for life.
NO: Cookies
Oh man, my host parents bring home these AMAZING cookies from the states that they sell locally here and they are like AMAZING and well did I mention AMAZING?! I swear they are like addictive, however, I think that about pretty much any horrible thing that is sooo tasty so its prob my own fault.
NO: Soda
I swear, like everything is carbonated here in Europe, even the water. So I am getting to know the faucet real well.
NO: Mc'Donalds
Oh man, how is it that I have found this as my weakness here in EUROPE too!? oh jeez. I swear I have put on like...2 kilo (not sure what that is in pounds!! can you believe it?! I finally converted to kilos! ahhh!!) but it sucks and I need to stop eating this filth. SO for a WHOLE month its stay away from Ronald. :D
I am really excited to see how this goes. I REALLY have to hang on and stay commited. Those of you who are around me and can read this, help me keep this goal! No matter how much I cry, rant and rave, and go through your normal drug withdrawl symptoms. ;) hehe
Ok so just to keep tabs: Right now I currently weigh 61 kilos. We will see how it is on May 30th. :D I might check in off and on to tell how its going.
Tomorrow I am going to Dusseldorf! I am super excited to see Florian!!

I think there are 2.2 pounds roughly in a kilo.
Good luck with pseudo Lent!
Good luck! You can totally do it! Got to say though, I agree with getting rid of soda (unless sick, then 7UP is always good) and McDonalds. Yuck! Nutella and cookies.... it's all about moderation. Remember:
1_ Eat Healthy
2_ Eat Less
3_ Exercise daily
4_ Do it everyday for the rest of your life.
And that doesn't mean you can't have sweets here and there. Props to you for giving them up for an entire month.
Good for you!
