and this is why I never even try to give anything up for Lent.

I thought I'd try to be different this year and give something up and do something extra for Lent.  It worked well for a day or two.

What I wanted to do: Read for 30 mintues each day.

What I really did: Read for three days, then watched House of Cards.


What I wanted to do: Not eat a yummy cookie that is brought to work every Tuesday.

What I really did: Ate a cookie on the first Tuesday in Lent. Didn't make it one day.


What I wanted to do: Run three times a week to prep for the 5k on April 12th.

What I ended up doing: Agreeing with my sister that we'd just "wing it".


What I thought about doing: Giving up meat.

What I ended up doing: Going to Five Guys Burger and Fries.

How's it going for everyone else?

P.S. No one asked me to buy Girl Scout cookies this year. That makes me sad. And samoa-less.
