Well, it is here! Fat Tuesday, Baby!!
My goal this year is to not eat a paczki at work today! It will be hard, trust me! I'm hopeful that all of the good ones are gone by the time I start feeling weak! LOL
Of course today leads to tomorrow...Ash Wednesday, the beginning of Lent. Which leads to the next question, "What are you giving up or taking on for Lent this year?" This usually is a pretty big conundrum for me. I like to hear what other people have decided to do for Lent and then weigh my options. ;) I also usually opt to take an easy choice and usually fail at that as well.
This year I'm going to attempt to give something up and take something on! I'm going double barrel this year y'all! LOL For Lent I'm going to try and give up swearing. I have noticed that my mouth has gotten worse here of late and I thought this would be quite a challenge for me! What the fuck have I got to lose?! Hey, I've got to get it all out in the next 24 hours!! As for what I'm going to take on...the gym! I've been doing fairly well with going Monday nights after work, but then that is it. I'm going to attempt to take on the gym on both Saturday and Sunday too! I figure I'll need the extra stress relief come Saturday and Sunday for my pent up hostility that I'm unable to release with tirades of colorful swear words.
Your turn...what are you giving up or taking on for Lent this year?*
Just getting started: 8, 14, 16, 17, 19
Needs attention: 7, 11
*~~I wonder if Dani is gonna change it up this year...LOL Inquisitive minds want to know! ;)
Well, I am doing double duty too. I am giving up sweets (candy, cookies, etc) with the exception of pumpkin pie only at this one fish and chip joint because I miss it every year for Lent AND I am also giving up bread. Totally random but also hard. The sweets have been too easy to give up so I wanted a challenge.
ReplyDeleteI just tore off all my fingernails and plan to grow them out starting tomorrow. LOL! It's an ugly, nervous habit I've had since the 4th grade.
ReplyDeleteDani~~you forgot to add the exception for McDonald's shamrock shake! LOL Giving up bread sounds crazy hard! Good luck with that. So far, so good for me...45 mins into Lent and I'm holding strong! LMAO. I think...unless my added "A" counts. Then I'm screwed! Ha-ha
ReplyDeleteDebbie~~LOL!! That's a good one! Keep me updated on the progress!! I just usually clip mine so short that sometimes they hurt for a few days! Opps!! hehe
Good luck ladies!!
