Lent

So I'm not Catholic but down here Lent is a big deal and I want to teach my girls about why Lent is so important and show that we should be open to religions traditions and well sacrificing. Because obviously Jesus Christ did for us. 

So I gave up soda. I try and drink caffeine free as much as I can but when out or induldging in McDonalds breakfast nothing is better than a coke....especially from McDonalds!

But I have gained back some of the weight I had lost and we have a beach trip with friends at the beginning of June so I figure giving up soda would help my water intake and maybe drop 2 or so pounds in the process. 

Day two and I'm ok. Last night we went to dinner and I'll admit it was tough getting back into just water. 

For the record I drink a good anount of water anyways and always order a soda and water but back in the day that's all I ordered. 

It's more the carbonation. 

I told Mr. B about it and he said "but you're not even Catholic" haha but guess what I have noticed. He hasn't drank soda either. 

In fact he texted me that he drank water at lunch yesterday. 

What a sweetheart. 

I can do this!
