I was interested if people will be participating in giving up or adding something healthy activity during these 40 days. I have already asked Caleb and he said no because he feels like he has enough stuff going on physically that he doesn't feel like he needs to add to the list. Which is cool. I understand, he does have a lot going on.
I am going to give up meat for Lent. This is something that I go back and forth on as a lifestyle choice. I have found myself saying that I am eating meat because I need the protein for training for the marathon, but I think that is a crutch. So no meat for me for 40 days!
I am just curious if others are incorporating healthy lifestyle practices into Lent.

Nice job on doing the vegetarian thing again for a bit, dude. I'll do my best to not tempt you having with any tasty meat around you!

I have a few issues with giving things up for Lent. I think discipline and self control are both good qualities but shouldn't be practiced for only 40 days a year. I like the concepts of prayer, fasting and almsgiving in order to become more aware of God's presence in my life, and hope to practice all three over the next 40 days and hopefully the rest of my life.
Lately I have become aware of how good I feel when other people are nice to me. An unpleasant activity such as dental hygiene was tolerable for me due to the niceness of the hygienist. I want to be like that for everyone I meet. So that's what I'm going to do for Lent!
