So, I had to think about what I was going to give up for Lent this year. One year I gave up chocolate, which was impossible. I cheated. Two years I gave up Cherry Coke, which is my favorite soft drink of all time. I forgot a bunch of years.
This year, I want to eat healthy. That means giving up things like McDonald's and other fast food items. Ice cream. I plan on keeping a food log of my healthy food. If I can do this for forty days, I think I can get back on the healthy train.
I see good times ahead!

So, one year for Lent I tried to give up salt. Yeah, who was I kidding? I started with good intentions, thinking I'd give up excess salt. But then when it came to things like chips, bacon,& the like, I quit after about 8 days. Another Lent, I too gave up chocolate, only to catch myself about 13 days in with a Twix bar in my mouth, saying "Dammit! I forgot!" But, we Protestants tend not to take the whole Lent thing too seriously. Except that this year, my sacrifice is to give up sweet tea. I've been sweet tea free for 2 days now, and am proud to say I passed it up on at least 2 different occasions. Let's see how long I remember to keep it this year...
That is a big sacrifice for you, this sweet tea! Of course, if your mom is still making her "Chernobyl" tea, then you're in a good place. :)
