Lent - What are YOU giving up?

Happy Fat Tuesday Y'all!!!

Anyone planning on fasting or giving up anything for Lent?

I'm going to give up LAZINESS! I have not been to the gym in two weeks and I have to get back.

On the food tip, I mos def have to give up the almonds. I tried buying the small bags from Trader's Joe, but they are just too addictive.

I don't do  Lent but I did decide to give up something else since I have successfully given up soda. I am now working on giving up chocolate. Its funny because when I was drinking soda I hardly ever ate chocolate or sweets. Now that I have given up soda I have been eating a lot more candy. So I am starting Monday giving up candy.

 "I have successfully given up soda"

You are on your way!!! Shun the chocolate just like you did the sodas and you will squash that too. Good Luck!

Thanks

Hey Juanita!  I was asked this question earlier and I still haven't made up my mind yet.  I will contintue to think about it.

Although I am sporting beads today at work and have made plans to attend mass tomorrow...for some reason I forgot all about giving something up for Lent until a protestant asked me to explain it today, lol.  I will have to get back to you on this but I have a feeling I am going to pick up something.  Like saying a novena every night or volunteering (although I am already being bound and gagged by ACS...jokey joke). Gotta think some more...anyone have any suggestions?

1. Junkfood
2. Liquor
3. Hot Monkey Sex

As none of those suggestions appeal to me....hmmph!

Actually now that I think about it, I don't eat junk food unless you consider veggie chips and the occasional lite popcorn junk. I gave up liquor and spirits in December and I haven't had sex, (and trust me it was NOT of the HOT MONKEY variety) since April 08.

Dammit! I been in LENT for a dang year !
 Y didn't y'all tell me?!

Junk food - empty calories
Liquor - your liver thanks ya
Sex - there is nothing wrong with "Celebrating Your Celibacy".

What the heck is hot monkey sex anyways???

Well since you been lenting for a year..maybe you should do some of those things during lent...LOL

Eat you some doritos while sippin on some vodka and getting hit from the back, Monkey style!
