Lenten Sacrifice

Lent officially begins today! It's Ash Wednesday, February 6, 2008 (logging the date for future reference!)
Amber is giving up pop... sounds as though this could be a long 47 days in the Labenz household.
Courtney is kicking the refined sugar habit. Let's see how the Pastor's Wife bakes for church, w/o eating it all! :) Cupcakes are already in the works for Confirmation on Saturday; and there's a stash of cookies to go along with them. My only secret: Freezing it in the deep-freezer until needed! :)

Anyone else figured out what they want to try to do without? Remember, that technically Sundays are not a part of the 40 days of Lent... so if you need that one day of the week, to be weak; it's Sunday!

We'll post what you're sacrificing... exercise, is not an option; and we'll keep you on track and motivated...

Hey Courtney, Thanks for the reminder on the Lenten sacrifice. I am going participate and give up chocolate in particular but in general unhealthy snacking between meals.That has become a difficult area for me this winter, so I want to re-train myself.
Sorry to hear your calves hurt this morning..( from the WORKOUT :) ....no pain no gain, right?
Jalayne my ball is 65 cm and it seems to be good for my height.
Have a successful day everyone!
