unprepared

I just realized that today is Fat Tuesday and therefore tomorrow is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.  The craziness of all of the snow we've been having lately kind of let it sneak up on me and I haven't thought of anything good to give up/take on for Lent.  I'm generally not too too strict about it, but it's nice to have at least some mini-goals each year.  I was especially hoping to come up with something good because of all of the talk about physical challenges I've been having with Sue and Amanda.  So far the only ideas I've come up with are:
  • eating an apple or some type of apple product (juice, sauce, etc.) every day in an effort to eat more fruit
  • a ban on all internet shopping, due to my recent uptick in spending from being cooped up in the house from the snow too much
  • giving up meat, not that I really feel any ethical need to, but maybe a bit for health and maybe a bit because I've been hanging out with a straight edge vegetarian.  
  • reading at least one book because I know I haven't been making enough time for that lately
I'm not convinced that any of these ideas are winners, and I'm open to thoughts/suggestions.
