You can do it!

For the first time I'm actually going to give up something for Lent. Yeah, yeah, I'm two days late of starting, but gosh darn it, I'm going to do it anyway. But what should I give up? It has to be something that I enjoy but can be without it for 40 days (or now 38 days). It has to be something that would cause me to suffer from lack of it. I'm guessing it has to be something food-related. Ok, well, how about carbohydrates? I do need to lose some pounds, but for 40 days straight?!?! Ah-ha, I found a loophole in this whole Lent business -- Sundays are excluded! There ya go! Wellllll....how about no carbs after 3PM? Yeah, that's possible, yet hard enough to cause suffering and torture. Yep, that sounds like a plan all right. Okey dokey, starting Friday night, I will be carb-free....after 3PM.
