• At the beginning of Lent, I promised to give up on two things for the season, soda and snacking. Now that Lent has ended, I'm glad to say that I kept that promise. Let me tell you, there are times when I would reach in the fridge and would just want to get a quick drink of soda. I actually felt the temptation of wanting to just give up and grab that can of mountain dew or pepsi. It was a lot easier to ignore snacking, but there were several times that I thought I was going to have a drink of soda on my hand. The ironic thing here was that because I have been avoiding soda, I realized that my choices of drinks have been greatly limited when going to restaurants. The alternative is always water, but I ended up ordering alcoholic drinks a lot more than I ever did in about a month's timespan. I guess I'll have to add alcoholic drinks to one of the things I'm giving up next year for Lent.
