9 Days and Counting

This semester's Institute class is Worlds Religion. And as part of the class the teacher has asked us to do something to really learn more about the other religions we are studying. Some of the options are: reading the Torah, touring a Mosque, attending service of another faith, giving up as participation of Lent.

And I choose the later. (I did also go to the Mosque at 96th St. Cool experience) I was trying to decide just what do I give up. I knew that if I made it too difficult (Dr Pepper), than there would be no point in trying to participate as it wouldnt last long. And Lent is long, 40 days long!

If you know me, and my family, you know that we love our sweets! And If I choose sugar, than again, I would be committing myself to failure. But I knew that I should cut out some sugary substances from my diet, as its not healthy. So, I went for the simply. Candy. For some of you, Im sure that this would be easy. But Im such a convenience eater. And what is more convenient than a candy bar when walking out of a gas station, or while watching a movie, or, or, or. And if you remember this post, then you might remember that I love kitkats! I might have stolen one, or two, from my nephews Halloween bag! . . . So, I must say, there have been a few moments of weakness, while waiting in line at Target, and they are staring me in the face. But alas, I have held strong. 9 days strong! I will make it to 40!

A few replacements I have found. And remember I said, no candy. So other sugary items dont count. Must say candy on the box/wrapper.



(Mind you, I HATE protein bars. But this one, isnt so bad)






And you thought I was going to say Carrot sticks, and Apple slices! Bahahaha!
