40 days and 40 nights?

Well almost! For lent this year, I - along with a few of my girl friends - have decided to give up boozing for lent. The past few years I've opted not to give up anything in protest of how selfish a lot of people's choices are. It's not about "lent," it's about a diet. I, too, am being a bit selfish in hopes that my body changes for the better - but I'm more focused on how much extra time I have to do good things for myself and those around me. I'm hoping I'll have more time to spend with family, friends and to redevelop the hobbies I once had. And I'm not going to lie, this is going to be some of the hardest 39 days (duh, can't skip St. Patrick's Day!) I've even lived, but also (I'm hoping) some of the most fulfilling. Hopefully this will make me a stronger person.

To say the least, I'm a little nervous...


I will be reporting weekly - if not daily - in hopes of keeping myself in check!

But for now, I'm drinking a Stella and eating dark chocolate and watching 30 Rock on Netflix. Don't judge. Wish me luck!
