Bless me Blogosphere for I have been self-disciplined, it’s been 21 days since my last espresso shot…
It’s that time in the Christian calendar known as Lent and while we in our branch of Christianity don’t generally observe Lent we have been known, from time to time, to undertake periods of prayer and fasting.
This one has been a 21 day fast rather than the full Lenten 40.
For 3 weeks before I went to America back in ’06 I fasted everything except veges, fruit and meat…This time? Caffeine and Alcohol…
Do you need me to tell you which was harder? Yeah… no margaritas… and no morning brews on the way to work.
In praise of the whole process I’m happy to say that it has saved me a tidy sum… so maybe I should try and be a little less likely to stop on the way to work… maybe restricting myself to a flat white on a Saturday morning could be the go…
Sounds like a good idea…
But I don’t like my chances…

    Congratulations! I doubt I could ever give up both at the same time (Although I guess if I decide to have children I might have to try hard at giving them up for the 9 month period!!!)
    Giving up coffee for a month is on my life list…I got home an hour ago and since then have had two coffees…I need help!
    I am amazed! Really, well done!
    ps: I gave up nothing for lent this year…

    Me and best buddy Liza gave up chocolate for Lent one year. Stupidly we also planned a weekend away to Belgium.
    We left drool stains on many, many chocolatiers windows…
    Anyway, I say if you want the coffee, have the coffee. You deserve it!
