The next 40 days!

Lent (Latin: Quadragesima, "fortieth"^[1]) is the Christian observance of the liturgical year from Ash Wednesday to Easter Sunday. The traditional purpose of Lent is the penitential preparation of the believer—through prayer, penance, repentance, almsgiving, and self-denial. Its institutional purpose is heightened in the annual commemoration of Holy Week.

A close friend is Cathlic and does Lent. The last couple years I have been doing Lent as well. This year I am joining her yet again. I have been thinking about this for weeks but I thought I had more time. Lent is a 40 day fast of something that you rely on, or something that will make you a better person.

This year I will be doing 4 things.

1. Eating out. I am going to be cooking more at home. Not spending money on fatting food.
2. My language. I need to stop using words that I wouldnt be ok with my parents around.
3. Sugar, or soda. Trying to be more healthy
4. Working out more. Setting a regular work out schedule. 

 I am making myself a better this Lent! I'll let you know how things are going! Wish me luck!
