Hi, everyone! Just got out of the shower and I'm headed to bed pretty soon here. 

So today was Ash Wednesday, which was a full water fast for me, and Lent has officially begun. 

Yesterday, Shrove Tuesday, I intentionally ate as much dairy as I possibly could, but that backfired on me, because I ended up throwing up from overeating. (Although, bright side: I felt sick to my stomach for a lot of the day today, which made the fast much easier. Can't get tempted by food when you're disgusted by food!) 

Tomorrow is my first day of eating vegan. I think I'll probably get a burrito bowl at school (rice, beans, guacamole, corn, maybe some salsa, just no cheese or sour cream) after class and Adoration, just to make things easier. It's like $5, which isn't bad, and it's filling. Then when I get home, I'll probably have a protein shake or something. Maybe some pasta and red sauce. I don't know. 

For now, it's well past my bedtime, and I need to sleep.

Until next time, 

Simone
