Day 8 Recap: I did 90 minutes on an inclined treadmill yesterday. I don’t know how I didn’t die. That shit was hard! It was not pretty. I was not pretty. But I got through it. Everything else was good and I completed all of my tasks. I am actually on day 45 (as of today) with my gallon of water and if I make it to day 60 (which I will) then I am rewarding myself. I think small rewards as you go are really, really important.
I am not Catholic, but I did grow up with some of my family being Catholic. Actually, is Lent just practiced in Catholicism or do other religions do it, too? Hmm. Either way, I like Lent and what it stands for so I am participating this year.
It took me awhile to decide what to give up. I wanted it to be something that was a challenge and that actually meant something being what the meaning of Lent is.
So, I tricked you with the cover image. I’m not really eating sweets or anything right now, so… I will be giving up..
Coke Zero! I do not drink regular soda at all. Ever. But I love Coke Zero. I have one a day and I enjoy it. It’s nice to have in the afternoon and into dinner and I do think it gives me a little pick me up. We will see how I do without it. I know I can do it, but I do think I will miss it. I also don’t want to replace it with anything else, so I am trying hard not to do that. Wish me luck!
Are you giving up anything for Lent?
