Well, I almost forgot, but tomorrow starts LENT! What's everyone going to give up?? In the past, have you been able to stick to it?

I have to think about what I'm going to give up, since doing Atkins has pretty much wiped me out of all the "cheat foods". Everything I eat is on the up and up.......

Can't you give up something non-food-related? Maybe you could give up sleeping in ... get up an hour earlier and workout? ;-D

I don't observe Lent so I don't guess I'll be giving anything up.

CHELLE ~ Oh my goodness!! I get up at 5:00 in the morning as it is!! I don't wanna get up any earlier!!! HA!

But you know, you have a GREAT idea!! You DON'T have to give up food...I've completely put my excerising on hold (for what, I don't know) so I can do that instead!!

THANKS!!

Hey, me too. Of course, that is so I can workout before work. Why do you get up so early?

You could give up a TV show so you have time to exercise?

Food is an easy thing to think of when it comes time to give something up. My college roommate was Catholic and she gave chocolate up almost every year.

okay, here is another stupid question. Someone please explain to me what it is...

And does it have to be food? How about giving up spending money. That I need to do anyway. :-)
