Can you tell I had unexpected free time today? Sadly, MAM is sick. She’s asleep though, so I’m catching up on the important things, like Bloglines, and what not.
Anyway, it’s Weigh-in Wednesday and I am where I was last week. Today is significant, however, because not only is is Weigh-In Wednesday, it’s also Ash Wednesday. Which means Lent is starting. Which means it’s an automatic back-on track day, because I’m fasting today. Which is good, and rather odd, because I haven’t been really hungry, whereas usually, I’m FAMISHED when people tell me I can’t eat (bloodwork, surgery, fasting for Church, whatever).
Last year I made a feeble attempt to give up eating between meals for Lent. I think I’m going to try it again this year–so far, I’m off to a great start. Maybe I should always plan a warm-weather vacation during Lent. It might be the extra motivator I need to really sacrifice for the season.
See how everyone else did at Tales from the Scales!
Hope MAM is better soon! Congrats on maintaining from last week.

Happy Ash Wednesday! It’s my favorite time of the (liturgical) year! I feel such a great sense of renewed hope for myself and love the idea of really working toward a fresh start.
It’s my sincere hope that MAM gives up all illness this year – and that it lasts all year!
