Lent Challenge. What are people giving up?

[Tinnedtomato]

Well second day of being facebook free and to be honest, i feel better than i thought i would. Altho i had the urge to text all my friends this morning to tell them that i was tired, lol x

 

[ellierose988]

Doing fine with no wine at the moment (quite like that little rhyme), but the real test will be after a week or so. Might adopt that as a little mantra. "Fiiine with no wiiine"

But you don't have to make one lapse ruin everything.

With giving up things for Lent, we always have a rule that, if something crops up so that you absolutely HAVE to do it, or if you just forget - put £5 in the Charity box, and then carry on.

You could still succeed 45 days out of 46 - and wouldn't that be an achievement?

 

[Tealight]

I'm still going to continue with the challenge, feel like a fraud joining in on this thread now.

Thank you for your words of encouragement, I'm not giving up yet

Just feel a lil foolish being it was the second day, silly mistake.

 

[MadameLaMinx]

Don't feel like a fraud. Making mistakes is how we learn. And that is all you did. No big deal. Good on you for picking yourself up and carrying on regardless. It's exactly the sort of attitude you need to succeed at weight loss.

Almost forgot about the 15mins exercise but managed to squeeze it in last night. It was after 12 but saying as I hadn't got to sleep yet I counted it as yesterday remembered to do today's before work so I'm almost two days down! yay!

 

[maypole]

I've given up bread & are discovering a whole new world of hebs as mainly do green

I agree. I gave up meat a few years ago for lent and accidentally had a hot dog. Didn't realise for about 3 hours. I just wrote it off and carried on.

 

[MadameLaMinx]

I love not using hex B as bread. Pagen Krisprolls, wholegrain Vita Crackerbread, Aldi choc orange less than 70 cals cereal bars (2 for a b). So much choice.

Day 2 going splendidly well, still got a b choice and up to 12 syns to play with. Done in 7 superfree already, done some actual real life exercise, and just had a massive and splendidly low syn dinner. Obviously the day is not over but as I'm stuffed and have ff yogurt and strawbs sitting there that I can go crazy on later, there's little danger of me falling off the wagon.

 

[Tiphareth]

Day 2 going well. Turned down joining in the lunch sandwich run, so still 100% and as I'm out and driving there'll be no alcohol.

Day 2 done! Although mid pm was hard. Could have done with a munch as tummy rumbled. But figured I hadn't drunk enough so had a pint of water and that put me off till dinner. Phew!

 

[lippy66]

Thought long and hard about this. Giving up wine,chocolate crisps etc wouldn't be much of a sacrifice as I take little or none when dieting.
So I decided to drink only black tea for Lent.This will be really tough for me as I love numerous daily cups of tea with skimmed milk. On day 2 and not enjoying it one bit!!!

 

[debc88]

Survived day 2 hope everyone else is coping x
