I'm doing the same thing. I did not eat healthy today. I decided to have McD's for lunch and some sweets. Tomorrow is "Fat Tuesday" so I'm celebrating! At least, that's my excuse. I just went out to the store today to buy a few things for Wednesday. I got some yogurt, tuna, a nectarine, and an Odwalla Banana Nut bar. I had a lot of difficult last year with the meat fast on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday so I'm planning to eat a lot of protein tomorrow so I don't crave it on Wednesday. ;)

Oh that's sneaky! Sneaky but amesome! And yes, healthy eating is not for Monday and Mardi Gras! :)

Like many others here, I'm giving up chocolate and most processed sugars (cakes, cookies, etc.) I'm also going to drink more water (I never seem to be thirsty, so this will be a challenge for me). And I want my boyfriend and I to pray the rosary together more often. Something we've been working on for a few months now.

I'm giving up having a second drink in any one sitting.

Unfortunately, it just occurred to me that this will make having a third or fourth drink rather difficult.

Of course if you stand up & switch seats, you could have 2 drinks...in 2 different sittings. :hehe2:




I am dedicating this Lent to cleaning out all unnecessary items from my home. This should be interesting. :unsure:

I made a decision at last, I think.
My plan as of right now is to give up the internet for Lent, except on Sundays, and when it's necessary for schoolwork.
That should be...interesting.

I thought about caffeine again but, that means I'd go through bottled water quicker, but that would mean I'd go through bottled water faster, whom Im already sharing with 3 other people, and I wouldn't want to inconvenience them, so. I have no clue what Im doing

I decided to cut pop (not all caffeine, just pop) and a couple other things. It shold be a good compromise
