Mardi Gras and Lent

Fat Tuesday, ahh the joys of over indulging.

I did last week and boy did I pay.

Backstory; in January I watched the the following 

documentary:

It's about a guy who was, as the movie is so aptly named,

Fat, sick, and nearly dead. He had indulged in a lifestyle of

excess for many years and his body showed the results.

So I decided to take the journey as well, but I did not want 

to start until March 1st.

Side note: Mardi Gras was on March 4th.

Anyway, the Thursday before I had some great Mexican food

from Azteca, which I have not had in months.

Mmm...the Pollo a la Crema with steamed flour tortillas was flavorful.

You must try this dish.

The next day I had fried chicken, Mmm Mmm, but then the plumbing

backed up and I had major gas pain for several days.

The "laugh now, cry later" adage is so true.

It's now day 9 of my Reboot and I am feeling my way through.

I am down 7 pounds, and am adding strength training to keep 

muscle tone.

So, what did I give up for Lent?

An unhealthy lifestyle and romance novels.
