Hello and Happy Ash Wednesday to everyone. Today begins Lent, when Catholics chose to "give something up" in an effort to truly appreciate and be thankful for Jesus' sacrafice. I chose to abstain from meat again for all of Lent instead of just on Fridays. It's a major challenge for me as ordering a salad with grilled chicken has become a staple in my journey to a thinner, healthier self.
This year's blog will more than likely feature the meals/recipes that I'm going to eperiment with, as well as my reflections on my faith on a weekly basis. I do have a friend that I previously mentioned, Sarah, who is taking on this meatless challenge as well. Feel free to follow her blog but be warned, it's not for the faint of heart :)
I started my morning off right with a bit of peanut butter, on my toast and was super psyched for my lunch, Subway... I love their veggie subs! Needless to say I misread their nutrional information and got a fattier sub than I should have. Bad Ranch! Bad Cheese!
BUT I am also working on not sweating the small stuff during Lent. This would be a small thing, so I will let my over calorie worries fly free and will move on to planning a smaller, healthier dinner.
What are you giving up for Lent?
