    Soda and ice cream for me. I'm also thinking about going red meatless, but at my apartment, that's about near impossible! :P

    Going on the 21 day Daniel fast which is giving up sweets, meat, dairy, and bread (unless its whole grain). Its pretty rough. Just started and I already feel like I'm starving... Going to be an interesting 3 weeks.

    Im giving up facebook. I spend too much time on there and there seems to be a lot of negativity on there and unhappy people. So maybe it will rid some negativity out of my life.

    I'm torn, right now its between 3 things :

    1) Giving up cheese (I love me some cheese)
    2) Making a commitment to working out or doing something active for all of lent
    3) Making a promise to floss every night.

    Haha, actually I do! I started drinking LaCroix just to get some fizziness.


    And what's with giving up 2, 3, or 4 things? Y'all are making me look bad.

    I'm giving up:
    1) Bread - all kinds, whether white or brown or wholegrain
    2) Cookies - I was letting myself have a couple every other day, but the couple normally turned into about 6 instead of 2!
    3) Meat - this won't be so much of a challenge, considering I don't even eat that much meat
    4) Facebook - it is SUCH a distraction and I am toooo addicted! I have exams coming up anyway, so I don't need it in my life
    5) Mini Cheddars - these crisp/cookie/cheesy tiny things that only have 140 calories per packet but I was eating a pack everyday... they are like my crack. But the next 40 days will be spent without them :)

    This is going to be an interesting Lent!

    I'm giving up soda for Lent, what are you giving up???

    ^^^Hey, you stole mine! I don't drink regular soda anyway, so I'm giving up diet soda. Hopefully I can kick the habit entirely!

    I'm 'giving up time' to go to church every other week. I don't usually go...except Lent and about 3 or 4 other times a year.

    I'm giving up Drinking :drinker: &&&&&....Enriched Foods - I seem to give up drinking every yr so this yr I wanted 2 do sumthin more 4 myself. I will note that I'm Horrified to find that Bisquick is Enriched :sad: I've been making Bisquick pancakes w/Blueberries or Choc. Chips or Walnuts or Bananas on wkend mornings for 23yrs & I can tell u that the Hodgemill Whole Grain r going to take sum serious getting used to. The up side to that tho, is I have a 1yr old grandbaby & hopefully I can get him used to the whole grain kind early ;~) wish me luck w/that as the rest of my family has flatly refused to give up "my" pancakes LOL

    I usually don't give anything up for lent, but challenge myself to do more during lent.
