Lent

[RapidBreath]

What are you girls giving up for Lent, if anything? I thought I would give up bad self talk. Things like: I'm so ugly, no one will ever love me, I'm so slow, I'm such a slow poke, I hate myself. . etc.

Instead, I'm adopting a positive attitude towards myself, when I have one of those thoughts I will gently remind myself, I am beautiful. And replay, "Fat Bottomed Girls" in my head! (Queen's version although the Glee version is there if you need it

I gave up refined sugar for Lent. So no more of my dark chocolate. I made bread pudding for my Bunco group Tuesday night and had to sit and watch my DH & DS finish it off tonight.

Thats just tragic! I love bread pudding, especially made with cinnamon raisin bread and brandy

I gave up my two favorite things: wine and chocolate. Lord help me.

I gave up cake, candy, ice cream anything sweet and also Coke which I don't have that often but everyonce in awhile a Coke Slurpee tastes so good!!!
I did this 2 years ago and lost 8 lbs during Lent, here's hoping it happens again.

Also, I am going to do Cardio 6x a week for at least 1 hour and workout 6 days a week. Right now I'm doing the Supreme 90 and today was my off day.
Back at it tomorrow.

I gave up all sweets. The toughy is doing without chocolate, but DH & I do this every year. This year I've also given up making any charges on my credit cards; not an easy thing for me since I love to shop on-line but I'm determined to put my credit cards on a 40 day diet.
