Lenten Sacrifice

It's finally Lent!  Maybe it's something in my design, but I crave the structure of Lent.  I admit, I'm really not good at changing my routine and how I do things, so this will be good for me.  We decided that as a family, we're only going to eat a single serving size of things (and by "as a family," I mean Daniel and I.  Anni can eat as much grub as she wants).   That is so hard for me.  I just like to eat.  Tonight when I measured out how much pasta a serving was, I realized I eat far more than a serving on a regular basis.  It is definitely a good lesson in self control and sacrifice for us.  I'm also working on integrating a deeper prayer life into my daily life as a mama.  That is a continual project :).  I planned on this being much more introspective than it is, but that's okay.

  1. I discovered how small a single size serving was when i started weight watchers! i love to eat, too, so it was really hard for me to eat in better portions! i think this is a great sacrifice!

  2. Isn't it crazy how small a real serving is? I remember when I first started Weight Watchers, I was shocked.
