Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is the start of Lent. Today, I was supposed to fast and whatever I ate the entire day had to equal one meal. I thought I could get through the day with no problem. This is how it went.

At work this morning, I drank my breakfast: water (4 cups). When I came home at 11:30 am, I was so hungry. In my Fat Tuesday post yesterday I said that I would stay away from the Little Caesar's leftovers, but I didn't. I got the box out of the refrigerator and tore the pepperoni's off a slice. Cold pizza never tasted so good. That really made me full. After going to Ash Wednesday mass, I came home and woke my husband up around 1:30 pm. He got dressed and asked me where I wanted to go for lunch. I told him I really couldn't eat much today, so I would go and watch him eat. We got in his car and he drove to Subway. I couldn't resist. I was hungry. I got a six inch tuna sub. It was so good and filling.

To make up for the fact that I ate more then I should have, I didn't eat dinner. I had to photograph two district volleyball games and that forced me to miss dinner with my husband. Since I haven't eaten since 2 pm this afternoon, I'm hungry. I know when I get up for work tomorrow, I will be looking for something to eat right away to make the stomach pains go away.
