1. no chocolate (very hard for me since I am a chocoholic, but not so hard since I have given up chocolate during Lent for the past 15 years);
2. no deep fried foods (except for seafood on Fridays if there are no other non-meat options available);
3. no shopping for apparel or shoes for myself (I am free to buy gifts for other people);
4. no soda (not that big a deal any more, ever since I gave it up for Lent during college, I really only ever drink Coke with pizza);
5. I must go running at least twice a week (we'll see how long I can keep this one up); and
6. I must keep my apartment clean (Evil Twin #1 was very supportive of this resolution, BF was overjoyed).
So, that's the rundown. As of the second day of Lent, I have done all of these except #5, but I still have until next Wednesday to do that...

My resolution is to lose 145 pounds, which will take me down to a manageable 190 pounds!
I gave up shopping too! For clothes and non-necessities. I did this one other year and discovered the joy of the library where you can get things for free, so it's not really like shopping. I think.
Went running this morning. It was freezing and I nearly slipped way too often -- but well worth it! I feel great and am looking forward to running on Saturday when I can go later in the morning when the temperature will be higher than 10°F with the wind chill.
i love lent. it gives me an excuse to eat fillet-o-fish every friday.
evil twin #2 is pretty crazy... running in this weather?! i was walking the 0.25 blocks from my apartment to starbucks this morning and i almost lost my left testicle to frostbite. but then again, i was naked.
I went running on Saturday -- it's still really icy out. I slipped, did the whole cartooney running in place kind of thing while trying to keep my balance. I landed on my now bruised hip and proceeded to limp home in shame. I will try again tomorrow but will find a non-icy area to run...
