Lent

It's that time of year again, Shrove Tuesday (aka Pancake day!), which means it is Ash Wednesday tomorrow so I've been thinking of things to give up for Lent and have come up with 3 things:

1. Chocolate.  This seems to be a trend every year to give up chocolate and I always fail, but this year I am more determined than ever to succeed! I probably eat chocolate 2-3 times a week and so this is quite a hard one but I'm thinking of all the benefits of giving it up - less spots, lose weight, less groggy, feel better within myself...it's worth a shot!

2. Stress.  After a few stressful months and many breakdowns, I have come to the conclusion that stress is not worth it.  I'm sick of feeling rubbish and run down all the time about my assignments/exams/lectures and so I'm going to just do my best, do my assignments to the best of my ability, and be happy with the results.  

3. Lazy Days.  I have too many days in bed where I say i'll get up and do things, and then I just end up laying in bed all day doing absolutely nothing. I want to start making the most of every day I have and so I'm going to start doing more things in the day e.g. fitness workouts, work, going for walks, tidying my room, pamper myself, read a book etc.  No more wasted days!

I'm determined to see these through for the 40 days and 40 nights.  I think chocolate and stress are going to be the hardest to do.  My 21st falls in March and so no doubt I will be surrounded by chocolate! I also have 12 assignments do to in 5 weeks and I will no doubt get stressed out...but I will try my hardest to not let it get to me.  As long as I plan my time wisely, I should be ok! Wish me luck!

What are you giving up for Lent this year? :)

Love, Amy x

  1. Stress is such a brilliant thing to give up for Lent. Hopefully you manage to do it!
    I'm not really giving up anything for Lent, just continuing to eat healthily :)
