Had my last roll up at 11:45am yesterday and threw the rest of the pouch away. Had a craving first thing in the morning and was going to buy more baccy with the newspaper from corner shop but had the courage not to. Came home, did some press ups and some low intensity weight training with a 8kg dumbbell and 14 minutes on the cross trainer. Plan on giving up for life not just for lent though! Winning
My hubby and I are giving up sweets - we have developed a bad habit of eating Maoams at the weekend - weird considering that one of the things that got us started in the first place was reducing our sugar.
Hubby has also challenged me to reduce my mayo intake. I have it with nearly everything including pizza! So I am going to eat much less of it - hopefully.
It's good to know you will be observing Lent, it's something my family always do even the children give up something they really enjoy. Of course it should also be a time of reflection so a good time to look back, reassess and to change old habits. Good luck to you.
Wishing you and everyone else who is planning to give something up for Lent every success. I have given things up for Lent in previous years, but I somehow haven't managed to decide on something for this year, hence I've not actually pledged to give anything up so far. I know Lent has already started, but I might have a think about it, and also look further at everyone's suggestions, to see if I can make a decision!
I love my nuts and seeds, especially cashews, almonds, and pumpkin seeds I usually have them in my porridge for breakfast; it keeps me going and prevents me from eating between meals. I find if I am really hungry a handful of nuts does the trick if I'm stuck on a train and can't get home. So I have given them up for lent, its gonna be a tough 40 days lol!!!
