[Monkey_Monkey_Underpants]

[XxKirstxX]

46 days it is!

 

[dreamslim]

That's probably why I didn't feel any withdrawal from coffee/ tea at the start of the month. Currently on green tea with lemon, about 4/5 cups a day, during the week.

Oh yeah coz you would defo have noticed the withdrawals. Had a headache and felt sick all day. This better be worth it. Lol.

 

[Tinnedtomato]

I have given up facebook for lent!!!

I had to cut down as I found I was on my third coffee at work by 0900! That's not including the 1 or maybe 2 espressos before leaving the house!

 

[debc88]

I have added myself to this list to give up chocolate and fizzy drinks, this could be hard work as it's my birthday before lent ends up only 4 days before so if I get chocolate I'll have to save it!! Good luck everyone

...it's my birthday before lent ends up only 4 days before so if I get chocolate I'll have to save it!! Good luck everyone

It's my birthday on Easter Sunday. How's that for timing?

My only vice is wine or the occasional G&T tbh and I'm not giving that up! I'd go doolally.

I suppose I could try being nicer to some people. But the ones who annoy me are really, really annoying ~ it would try the patience of a saint to be nice ALL the time. :break_diet:

 

[XxKirstxX]

That's brilliant timing! What date is easter sunday?

 

[Tealight]

I have given up facebook for lent!!!
Roll on Easter Sunday!! lol x

Wow that would be a tough one for me, best of luck

Could someone please add me for giving up crisp's please.

All ready miss them as I normally have a bag french fries with a cuppa when I get in from work, need to find a healthy replacement.

 

[Tiphareth]

That's brilliant timing! What date is easter sunday?

8th April.

 

[Korrigan]

8th April.

That's the one.
It can be a nuisance when it falls over Easter tbh. But at least I get a lie in.

 

[Arctic-BNG]

HeA - 30g parmesan
HeB - 30g muesli

[ginlin]

Tomorrow is Shrove Tuesday, aka Pancake Day.

Pancakes are associated with the day preceding Lent because they were a way to use up rich foodstuffs such as eggs, milk, and sugar, before the fasting season of the 40 days of Lent. The liturgical fasting emphasized eating plainer food and refraining from food that would give pleasure: In many cultures, this means no meat, dairy, or eggs.

So, back to the question, what are you giving up for Lent?

Me? I'm going with chocolate and alcohol?

The alcohol maybe trickier than the chocolate!

Anyone who wants to do a non scale challenge!

Challenge will start on Wed 22nd Feb through to Thur 5th April, which I make 43 days!


Arctic_bng - chocolate & alcohol - 43 days to go

I'll never do wine, but I have been really naughty with choccie lately, so can I just join on the choccie front?

BTW no choccie today !
