Lent 2009 Challenge
:wave: everyone!
I was reading another thread and saw that Lent is coming up (Feb. 25 - April 11). I did a Lent challenge on here a few years back and I liked it. So I decided that for this Lent, I will give up soda and Jalisco burritos. Those burritos are better than sex (I'm sure :p) but they probably contain like a bazillion calories. Does anyone want to join me? |
Yes please!
I challenge myself to lose a stone (14lbs) during Lent. Good luck and thanks for starting this. |
Well, here goes. I will give up desserts/sweets: pie, cookies, ice cream, doughnuts etc. I have been wanting to do this for a long time because sweets use up so many ww pts. Thanks for the challenge.

chocolate. 40 days chocolate-free, here i come :)
|
I am going to give up pop... Only because I am an addict.
|
I am also going to give up coke. No more sodas for me:)
|
My religion does not require me to give up anything for lent, but I had decided that I would vow to go to every Lenten service for the next 7 weeks. That would be 7 Wednesday services, 7 Sunday services, Maundy Thursday, and Good Friday. (16 Church services in 7 weeks) As far as giving things up, heck, in the last year I have given up junk food, cigarettes and alcohol, so really giving up a vice is not really an option, since I have none left ;) But since Christmas I have gone over my daily calories 5 different times and my progress has really reflected that. Gosh, for this challenge could a person vow to stay on plan 100% during lent instead of giving up one thing?
|
I honestly can't thing of any "items" to give up. I already gave up regular coke and plenty of sweets.
I do challenge myself to lose 10 lbs for lent though. I think I will give up NOT exercising. There are sometimes I simply don't feel like exercising and I don't think that's an excuse. I challenge myself to stay OP with exercising for lent. |
Thanks for joining me guys!
Lori ~ If you wanna challenge yourself to stay POP for 40 days, you're more than welcome! :) I'm adding eating desserts at work to my list! They make gooood cake at my job but I can never stop at one! So I'm just going to cut it all out. Thanks for joining guys! Remember, Lent starts TOMORROW! |
lori--congrats on your progress! i'm with you. instead of giving something up i am committing to staying on plan. for me this means the gym. every. single. day. no excuses! :)
so, i guess you could say i'm giving up laziness and excuse making for lent! good luck everyone--we can do it! :) thanks for the idea jasonslea! |
How's it going?
I'm 60% through Lent Day One and sticking to plan so far! |
Ok, normally, I give up something that is rather easy for me, like chocolate or cookies. However, this year, I will give up alcohol. I drink all the time with colleagues and friends. In Japan, it is the thing to do. However, I am giving it up. I love the lord and my body and can give it up. I AM ALL IN!!!
