Today is ash Wednesday which represents the beginning of Lent....Today I gave up chocolate for the next 46 days. I can do this, its not going to be easy let me tell you but it will bring me closer to my goal, as it will prove self disipline. I LOVE chocolate. I got this from my mom, she is also a chocolate lover. I'm going to find this extra hard in evening when I've saved several weight watchers points for a skinny cow icecream sandwhich which includes chocolate, now I will have to resort to a plain old popsicle for my treat..but thats okay.
I remember this day in elementry school, I was raised catholic so there was always an ash wednesday celebration in school and we would get a cross with ash on our foreheads. It seems to early for lent because its still so cold out and usually the snow is gone by the time this season starts although Easter seems late this year.
What are you giving up for lent this year?
P.S.. I promise on Easter morning I will take a BIG BITE off the Biggest chocolate Easter bunnies ear!!

Good for you! You can totally do it! I gave up chocolate for Lent when I was a kid. Easter morning I ate half a pound of chocolate and was shaking I was having such a sugar high. I don't recommend that. =)
