Well Lent is really flying by this year. I'm sure a big part of that is because of the distractions going on in my life.
1st Lenten Promise is to declutter for 15 to 30 minutes most days
I'm not taking a stop watch to this tasks, so the status is more of a thumbs-up / thumps-down.
week 1 - Feb 10- 16 - Success, but a bit sloppy/slow over the weekend
week 2 - Feb 17 - 23 - Fairly Successful, I may try to start timing myself to help keep focus
week 3 - Feb 24 - Mar 2 - this is slipping, I need to refocus
week 4 - Mar 3 - 9 - I'm making progress but its slow
week 5 - Mar 10 - 16 - this promise has been derailed -- need to get back on this horse
week 6 - Mar 24 - 30
2nd Lenten Promise is to go out for at least 4 fish fries
Most of these fish fries are Fridays, and this past Friday I was out of commission with the knee surgery. There are tentative plans for the YACC alumni to go next Friday and I'm counting on going with them.
1 Completed - Friday, Feb 22 with the YACC alumni at St Agnes
2 Completed - Friday, March 1 with the YACC alumni at St Florence
3 Completed - Friday, March 8 with the family for Dad's bday

3rd Lenten Promise is to consume no more than 2 bags of snack food per week (Sat to Fri)
week 1 - Feb 10- 16 - Success!
week 2 - Feb 17 - 23 - Success (but no exclamation point); the post-Valentines sale caramel popcorn almost caused a problem, luckily I got it under control in time
week 3 - Feb 24 - Mar 2 - Success
week 4 - Mar 3 - 9 - Success, and still have a quarter of last week's pretzels left over and only started the baked potato chips at lunch today (so no new bags started on Sat or Sun - that's good)
week 5 - Mar 10 - 16 - Success, but there were a lot of rice crackers this week - if they were counted then I failed, but they are somehow different ;-)
week 6 - Mar 24 - 30
4th Lenten Promise is attending and/or participating in 6 spiritual events this Lent The impromptu Stations with the YACC alumni went so well we are planning to do it again this Friday and even started throwing around the idea of going every week during Lent.
