Recently I’ve noticed that I’ve been habitually eating crisps and chocolate, particularly at work and er at home, or travelling and sometimes when I’m out. As that covers pretty much all-of-the time I thought I should do something about it.
So here it is…
For 6 months (starting two weeks ago lets call that 25th October) I will refrain from eating crisps and chocolate except for Christmas and Easter when I can eat chocolate.
For the avoidance of doubt Easter includes Holy Saturday until Easter Monday. Christmas includes the period between Christmas and New Year and any time spent with family in the month of December.
Lets call it Lent with a run up, lent starts on Ash Wednesday which, next year is the 17th February. So I know what I’m giving up for lent becasue I’ve already started.
It hasn’t been faultless so far:
- One Smarties McFlurry while very drunk (I should be more worried about the Quarter Pounder with Cheese and 6 nuggets)
- 3 mini-muffins with chocolate chips in, although two people agreed that they didn’t count.
I’ll #tweet to let you knwo how I get on.
End date is 25 April 2010.
