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 17 - 23 - had some great strides this week
2nd Lenten Promise is to go out for at least 4 fish fries - Completed!!
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
4 Completed - Friday, March 22 take out at Queen of Apostle (Fr Sean's church)
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 17 - 23 - success
week 7 - Holy Week -
