What are you giving up for Lent?

I'm thinking about bread and sugar. It will be tough but I gave up fast food and mayo and drinks with calories 3 months ago. I think I can do this.0

I think its time I kick all the bad out the front door. We drink diet pop even though its terrible for you, we eat fast food which is worse (which we have cut back a TON already), and watch too much TV when I could be playing with my sweet baby. I think this year its go big or go home! We have committed to a church and are new members so I think this year I am going all the way!!!
So what are you giving up for Lent?
Some real great ideas in here for Lent! It goes w/o saying that I will get rid of all junk over Lent! Maybe cut down on TV time too!! I watch way too much & complain that I have no time to exercise. Well, I can see that changing fast. Getting back to church is on my list as well. I promise Lord!!!0 -
Thinking I should give up FB as I spend far too much time there. However, my family is VERY spread out. Nobody local. FB is how I keep the grandparents up to date on all the kids activities etc. March & April are packed with gymnastic meets & rifle team competitions so I don't see giving it up completely. Perhaps I will limit to quick morning or evening session.
I have started reading my daily bible on Jan 1. Has readings for each day. Really enjoying this. Maybe I will also do some bible reading @ night during Lent.0 -
I'm trying to decide....what to do, what to do. I think that I'm going to start watching TV one hour later and work on a project until 9:00. It's really too easy for me to do nothing after work. Anyone else feel like that?0

I am giving up bread. I eat way too much and I am going to add 30 mins of walking each day0

I'm not giving up anything. Instead, I plan to build the habit of daily exercise over the lenten period. Taking better care of the body God gave me, so that I may do the work He has planned.
This.
Jesus gave so much for us... time to do something positive with it.0 -
Sugar & Starches....I think they may be making me sick anyway0

I LOVE THE IDEA OF GIVING UP FACEBOOK. I WOULD EXCEPT MY MOM LIVES IN ANOTHER STATE AND I HAVE AN ALMOST 1 YEAR OLD. SHE WOULD BE SO SAD IF SHE DIDNT GET TO LOOK AT NEW PICTURES EVERYDAY!0

I don't give up anything. I always add something. For instance, 5 more minutes of prayer time every day or a prayer a day for family members or friends, or complimenting one person every day. By the end of Lent, whatever I have added has become a good spiritual habit - which is the whole point! Peace!0

I'm right there with you but in a different way...
We dumped the cable three years ago when moving to a new home, but got a converter box for our old set so we could catch the occasional football game, important news event,etc. Then the basement flooded last spring, so now there's no TV. Had you asked me 10 years ago I couldn't have imagined not watching TV - I bet I watch a game once every 2 or 3 months now other than when the TVs are on at the gym.
Having said that, I am SO GUILTY of sitting down at the computer to accomplish a project, but then I get distracted by reading MFP posts!!!! It's just so much more interesting than doing work, paying bills, etc. If I could limit the excess time I'd have a lot more spare time in my life.0 -
