Lent?
 

Is anyone else giving anything up for Lent? Coming from 13 years of Catholic school, I think the guilt lives on:)

I'm giving up all forms of caffiene. Chocolate, pop, whatever. I'm also cutting back fast (fried) food.

I'm cuting back on fast food...*I need to save my money plus I so don't need the fat!!* I don't know what else I really need to cut back on yet but I know me and I'll add more to the list lol.

I *think* i am going to cut back on fast food too! lately it seems like ive been spending all money on lunch! :rolleyes:

i'm giving up caffine - its so hard - i love coffee and tea, but i need to get myself off of it!

for lent every year i always try to add something to my life in addition to giving something up - so i'm working out more and i'm volunteering a the peds oncology floor at the hospital.

I'm giving up cursing - I have a habit of swearing a little too much, so I decided that this would be a good time to give it up and see how it goes.

I will be in the same boat as KSigkid.....swearing is my vice.

I'm going to give up cursing too. I just filed 3 FAFSAs online and got kicked offline 11 times while attempting to file them and a few hours later, I'm very ashamed of what I said.:o

Since I hadn't chosen anything to give up, thanks to Honeykiss and KSigKid for the idea!

Well, we fast;no meat products. I have a hard time with the animal biproducts, but no meat until Easter. It is always my goal, but I have only done it once 100%. It is rough, but good.

Lent
 

I'm giving up soda for lent. And meat every Friday.

I am giving up Chocolate.

I'll carry on the "fish on Friday" tradition, and will probably give up Coca-Cola. :) My boyfriend is Catholic also, so he'll help me stick to it!! :D

I go to a Catholic University, so I do feel a little guilty for saying this, but I do not think I am going to give anything up. I won't eat meat on Friday's, of course. I just do not know what to give up!

That's taking Lent to a whole new level, Nicole. That's a really great idea :)

I'm also trying to cut back on my swearing. It's weird, my husband is the sailor but yet I'm the one with a potty mouth! I won't do the meatless Fridays, but I will abstain on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday I think.

yeah, i dont eat meat on Friday's or Ash Wednesday either. Sometimes its tough, but does chicken count?

Since my computer is on the fritz at home,I might as well give up surfing the net for Lent:p :rolleyes: :D
