Today is Ash Wednesday and that means Lent is upon us yet again! Every year I give up chocolate or alcohol, which I realize now is silly since neither of them are that important to me!
This year, I'm going for a real hard one and I'm giving up pasta all together! That means no spaghetti, no rigatoni, no ravioli and no homemade spaghetti sauce!
This may not seem like that difficult a task to others, but it's been my absolute favourite meal in any form since I was able to eat solid food! I can only imagine that 40 days without the stuff might leave me feeling some serious symptoms of withdrawal....then again it might also yield incredible results in getting me back down to the size I was last summer!
It will also help that with Mike gone, I'll probably freak out and spend all my time at the gym trying to distract myself! (Yeah we're co-dependent like that!)
Does anyone else still do Lent?

Oh My Goodness! Pasta! I couldn't do it. I'm giving up shopping. EEK!
Now I'm going to wash my ashes off my head.
Good luck!
I love that you're giving up pasta! I never did Lent but growing up I had Catholic friends who always gave up t.v. or sweets or something else and I always admired them for being able to give up something they love. For me it'd have to be chocolate, for sure! Or maybe old movies, though I think it might make me depressed. :)
I don't think I could ever give up pasta (I've got myself down to eating it just once a week right now--quite a feat for me!). lol! So I admire your fortitude! :)
oh my god, no pasta. i never ever use to eat pasta, but my sister thought me how to make a kick ass sauce now its all i eat and all i want to eat. like i have to make up for the years i missed out on. also yes yes yes road trip to TO would be amazing!
Oh wow pasta, that's a really difficult one! Although I suppose there isn't any point in doing it if it isn't hard. .. I haven't given anything up this year, although I normally do. Last year I gave up cigarettes, and haven't smoked since, but that was definitely the hardest :D xx
haha I never realized how many other people eat pasta as often as i do!
I was eating it almost every day for a while!
so far so good, except for once when mike and i got invited somewhere for dinner and they were serving a pasta casserole, i felt like it woul dbe horribly rude to say i couldnt eat it...
is there something i'm supposed to do when i cheat on lent?
