So today is Ash Wednesday which means it is the first day of Lent. I figured that this might be a good place to put down what all I am giving up for the next 40 days! Maybe if I write everything down here I will hold myself accountable!
Here is what I am giving up:
1. Potatoes - I am giving up anything that is going to be associated with potatoes. French Fries, Baked Potatoes, Mashed Potatoes, Hash Browns, Potato Chips, etc.
2. Sweets - I did this last year and I did stick to it, so this is going to be something that I am going to give up again. This year it might be a little tougher because I will be getting my Girl Scout Cookies after Lent starts.
3. Procrastination - As far as my work life I am on top of things, but as far as my house I don't always do things when I should. For example, I have a stack of clean clothes sitting on my desk that have been there for a few weeks. So hopefully if I can not procrastinate for 40 days it might carry over!
4. Laziness - Most days when I come home from work I eat lunch and then I take a nap. From now on when I get home I need to do a physical activity before I settle in for the day. If I decide that I am going to nap it has to be after my physical activity is done and for no more than an hour.
5. Large Portions and Second Helpings - I know that these are really two items, but they still fit in the same category. For the next 40 days I am going to eat smaller portions and I am not going to take second helpings, no matter how good the food is.
I think that these 5 things are going to be tough, but I believe that I can do them! I will update my progress as we go through these next 40 days!
