LENT - what are you giving up?

i think i will try to do more -- which is actually harder for my than giving up stuff. one year i fasted for 5 days. nothing but water and the occasional cup of tea if it was cold. it was actually easier than i thought...but come the fifth day i was a major b***h and had really bad headaches. lol.

so, i think i will:
1. go to church more
2. go to the gym more
3. clean my house more

fast food.... I have done it before, and it extended not only for lent but for 2 years! I never felt better when i did it. I don't really eat it that often anyway so all the better....

btw in my book pizza is not a fast food....

Oooh that is a good idea
OK so I'm giving up
Cursing & Fast Food

Wait is Panera Bread considered fast food

i'm such a bad catholic and now that I don't live with my grandma, i eat meat on Friday's during lent and i don't give things up

yes, start throwing your stones at me

---

I'm the same way!!! I dont go to church all year round...so I dont think following lent will get me into heaven any quicker. I'm a bad catholic

---

Me too.....but I did promise myself I would go to the gym regularly...so I'm going to roll New Year's resolution and Lent into one and see if that helps!!

Same for me. I don't eat meat on Fridays during lent, but that's it. And even that's a stretch sometimes.

I really wanted to give up smoking for lent but i know i wont last bc i have no will power for that

so i think i will give up..............(thinking)........................I will give up fast food (but not pizza lol)

I dont have a religous bone in my body.

My hat is off to all of you for giving up something.

---

same with me....i dont know what i would give up if i had to

Wow - I can't believe it's lent already!!!

Anyways - I am not going to give up anything in particular - just got to the gym more and eat more healthily (is that a word?).

I teach in a Catholic school so I made a list with my kids today of all the things that we are giving up for Lent. More than 1 of them wanted to give up school and/or homework.

I'm giving up peanut M&M's, that candy is an addiction for me. And I have to get to the gym a lot more, but that was my new years resolution.

Ok this is going to KILL me but, I am going to give up those Staceys Pita Chips

I'm giving up desserts and snacks, and FH and I are going to church more. I feel like such a fake having my wedding in a church when I barely go. So, I'm giving by going to church.

FH would love if I gave up being judgmental, but that ain't happening... so my hat's off to Danielle for that one.

I'm a horrible catholic....I don't think I've ever given up anything for lent, at least not for the entire duration.

Anyone up for giving up LIW..we can make it a group effort?
