Last year, as I was working to finish my thesis project, I gave up facebook for Lent. It was a really healthy thing for me, but this year I decided to go a different direction because giving up facebook might cause me to lose my job!
So this year, I am giving up something and taking on something. No French Fries for me; they have become autopilot when I'm getting something quick to eat. And I am going to read my Bible every day during Lent. I've already missed one day. Yes, I should do both of these things all the time, so I hope Lent will give me a good foundation.
In other news, my jogging is coming along fantastically. I got fitted for running shoes last weekend, and it was good to me to learn how to buy shoes based off of something other than the way they look. Then today, I wanted to jog outside so I called my friend Maggie. I wanted to try a 5K, even if I walked intervals for the second half. Well, it made a big difference that she was with me, because I jogged all 3.13 miles today!
