    Giving up alcohol. It makes up a chunk of calories for me, so should help accelerate my weight loss.

    I heard it said over the weekend that Lent is "Spring Training for the Soul".
    Amen

    We work very hard to improve our bodies, lift the weights, watch what we eat, and do the cardio. So often however, we forget to feed our souls.

    Lent is an important time for us to measure up how we have been spending our time. Are we more focused on God or on ourself?

    How about instead of giving something trivial up, we instead focus on spending at least as much time on God as we do with our dieting? Maybe, by the time Easter roles around, we Christians will have our Souls in shape ;)

    Peace

    I'm giving up facebook. The Lord died for me; I can give up being a stalker for 40 days, haha.
