I LOVE the idea of giving up excuses for Lent. I'm going to gym up excuses on why I'm not working out.
Gym every day- no matter what- every single day

Day one is going great! Just got from the grocery store and stocked up on all my favorite veggies, fruit, and good stuff. If I can make it 40 days totally 100% on plan, I should surpass my goal weight and *maybe* get into the 160's (which is were I *really* want to be!) So now I need to get out and do my 4 laps around the corn field. It's a beautiful day in Nebraska.

I'm giving up dining out for Lent. I think I could lose way more weight if I didn't eat out a couple of times a week. Even the best selections & taking half of it home still have a lot more calories than things you prepare at home.
p.s. I'm donating the money I save to charity.

I've been thinking a lot about what to do this time. I've decided I won't give up anything but instead focus on mindfulness and awareness - food related and otherwise - and about how I am spending (wasting) my time.
So, for the next forty days, I commit to the following:
- eating without distractions - especially no eating in front of the computer
- eating slowly and mindfully
- turning off the computer before dinner and spend my evening offline
That's it, but to be honest - I feel like it's going to be ridiculously hard.

Okay, I'd like to join you all. For Lent I'm giving up some time on the computer. I will limit my personal computer use to 1 hour per day during Lent. For me that's a huge cut-back since I communicate with many friends in other places via e-mail/chat plus doing my 3FC boards. I hope to use the time more wisely in activity and productivity which in turn should help with weight loss. We'll see how it works out.

How did everyone's first day go? I'm going to say that I totally crashed on the soda part because I'm such a dork. I got the soda and was half way through before my friend said 'Shari, you do remember that today is the beginning of Lent, right?'

loads of imaginative stuff on here!
well, I survived the day, although I'm glad to have an electronic food log, because I only ate 1022 calories, which is waaaay too low, I don't want to do that every day. especially not if I feel as ack as I do this morning. I'm sure I'll improve!
Good luck with Day #2, everyone!

david- I weigh more often because it helps me keep on track, but some people prefer to not weigh-in as often because it stresses them out. You gotta see what works for YOU. best of luck!
As for day 1, I failed since I didn't decided what i was going to do until the afternoon and by then had already been on the computer more than an hour, so I'm not counting it as a failure, just a late start. Today I will succeed!
