Jaime, you beat me to it. I was going to ask almost the same thing. Is anyone doing anything for Lent related to their health?
Me personally-I have never observed Lent, and my reasoning is because I'm not Catholic. I know many people still give things up for Lent even though they're not Catholic, but I never did; probably out of stubbornness more than anything.
That said, I'm going to set my stubbornness aside for 40 days and this is why...
Yesterday I got done with an awesome 300 repetition workout over my lunch hour. I dominated it and felt good about it. I, then, went back to work and ate my lunch. While devouring my 4 pieces of fried chicken from Albertsons, I got to thinking...'Everything I just did in the gym has now just been erased because of my love for this greasy, fried goodness'. It hit me that I may have a problem: I love fried chicken, and it could be the death of me! This morning I heard, on the radio, that today is Ash Wednesday and it made me think of my addiction to fried chicken. Shortly there after I decided that I am giving up my weekly dose of fried chicken for 40 days.
I may not be observing Lent for all the right reasons, but here's to my health ;)
I would love to hear what others are doing or your input of mine.

I support your Lenten resolution, Dave! But Colonel Sanders is pissed.
Thanks for sharing Dave. I support you on this decision. Perhaps we can get you to be a vegetarian one of these days...
