Are You Giving Up Anything for Lent?

[Lauralee131]

I want to give up celebacy, but my wife isn't cooperating.

OMG - TOO funny!!

I'm giving up...my New Year's resolution to save money...therefore, I think I will book another trip to WDW!!!

I really want to give something up for Lent........I have it narrowed down to dark chocolate or Coca Cola.
What are you giving up this year?

Well I just blew the chocolate part........

I decided to give up being a slacker. I have commited to going to the Gym 3 times a week. I thought about fast food or sweets but with my trip to Disney at the end of March I was not going to be able to do that!

MY DH said I should give up DisneyPlanning...ha ha I said! He realizes that Jan/Feb my travel planning months...ready to book 2008 trip, leaving for WDW in a week...maybe another quick trip in August....I told him, this at least keeps me off ebay!!!

I've given up pepsi. Looks like I'll be up EARLY Easter morning with a 2 liter bottle & a straw. It's all ready been tough - our movie theatre only sells pepsi not hot chocolate or lemonade. My DS tried to convine me I could have a diet pepsi - but that's a no go. I'll just keep telling myslef it'll go by quickly.

I've given up buying my lunch while at work. It's going to be tough because I enjoy eating out at lunchtime. There's already a pool going on that I will not last. More incentive for me to prove them wrong.

With me it's the same thing every year... vow to give up... alcohol, cursing, chips, late night TV, alcohol, over eating, alcohol..... and every year I fail! Well not this year! This year I have given up SELFDENIAL.... There, so far so good, right?

Yesterday after school the district held a happy hour at a local bar. I went and made it through unscathed! I have given up alcohol and soadaq so I just had a water. Friends came over last night and they brought wine to have with dinner. That was a little harder to deny, but I did it. How many days til Easter?????

 

[Count Down to Disney]

Ugh! I can't believe I am doing it but I gave up Pepsi for Lent! I figured this way maybe I can follow through. Every other time I try to give it up, I only make it a day or two. This way hopefully I'll be looking good enough for a two piece in October when we go to AKL's pool. LOL!

Not Catholic but a few years ago when my wife told me to kiss "IT" I told her NO I gave that up for Lent.

If you don't know what "IT" is, you're probably sitting on it.

My sister-in-law asked me this same question....I told her that I am giving up stress!

I am a 7th-8th teacher with state tests coming up in April....you know that one is going to last

Excess carbs in the form of fermented, carbonated beverages.

DH and I have decided to give up sweets for Lent. We need our waistlines to dramatically decrease before our Christmas trip to WDW. We are splurging and staying at the Wilderness Lodge. I also want to do the diving adventure and don't want to actually look like a whale in the wet suit they provide me!! We can do it!!!

I decided to do something as far as doing something as opposed to giving something up.

I take an adult tap class and there are lots of cliques in the studio. The cliques stay together and although I have found that several of them are friendly when you can get them apart, I don't think these individuals realize they aren't polite to others. So I decided that for Lent that I would be polite/kind to someone each day.

A couple of days ago, I had to attend a training at a vo-tech center. We were served lunch while we were there. As I was going to the restroom to wash my hands, I saw the person that was setting up the buffet line. As I walked past the server, I said, 'Good morning' to her. I think I caught her off guard.
