    Maybe mine will be giving up potluck lunches, drug rep lunches and eating out during the week at work. I have a bad habit of packing a healthy lunch then not eating it when something else smells better.

    As much as I hate to.... ugh... I'm going to give up alcohol .. so no more beers for me. Except for the one that I may have Tuesday night, just as a last hurrah until Lent is over

    I've decided on fast food because I still haven't been able to kick the habit. I also will be fasting every Friday, Ash Wednesday and Good Friday, along with no meat on Fridays. Always hated that a ton of my family birthdays are during Lent, including my own lol! Oh well :D

    Swearing. Totally not food or fitness related. But will probably help me more than a size 0 figure would.

    Nothing. What I'm doing right now is working too well to tinker with it. Of course that might be because I already gave just about everything up!

    Not coffee, though. You can't have my coffee!

    I have been pondering this for weeks now and I still haven't figured it out. A few years ago it was easy, it was Facebook, and my affair with it has been off ever since. I can't think of anything right now that would be a sacrifice. I think I will have to take on something to make this work...

    Ah well, hopefully Early Morning Mass on Ash Wednesday will solidify what I am to do doing this Holy Season.
