Well I gave up Carbs for lent. I did pretty well for the most part. This last week was probably the worst, i knew it was getting close, and cheated around once a day.
I did get down to my lowest weight so far, 135.2#! I did have carbs on Sunday, so Monday's I was back up 2-3 pounds, but by Friday's i was always back down to around 135.
Now that lent is over I'm hoping to add healthy grains back in, but maybe only one a day. We'll see, maybe I'll just do it on weekends. But I'm afraid I'll binge again! LOL
What are your plans now that lent is over? How did you do? Did you lose or gain any weight ?
Happy and Blessed Easter to you and your family!

It actually ends the Saturday before Easter0 -
**It's because it starts on Ash Wednesday, and you don't fast on Sundays0

When I was a child, we used to fast right up until Easter morning when we would definitely get whatever it was we gave up. I didn't give up anything this year because I only recently returned to the RCC, but next year I will give up something...what that will be is whatever I happen to be craving most at that time. Happy Easter everyone!0

This year I gave up meat, except on Sundays. This is the first time I have given up meat for Lent, and it was a lot harder than giving up chocolate! Lent for me does not end until Sunday.0

I didn't realize it was Lent.
Last year, though, I went out on a date with a chick during the same week. It went well, she asked if she could crash at my pad. Once we got back to my place, she told me she gave up sex for Lent.
*kitten* Lent.

I gave up alcohol. It was rough, put I only slipped up once. My cousin came into town and we went into the city to have dinner and go to dance and I was at the first bar and I ordered a drink without even thinking about it, and the minute it was handed to me I said "OH NO! I Forgot!", but I wasn't going to waste a $6 drink. But did great the rest of the night0
