Nothing Left To Give (Up)

Laissez les bons temps rouler!

Another year, another Fat Tuesday is upon us. I'm sure there are plenty of folks frantically indulging in the very things they plan to give up for the next six weeks. Just this past weekend, I was racking my brain trying to decide what it was that I'd "sacrifice" this year during Lent. 

Normally, it's soda, deep fried food, and store bought desserts. But after 21 months of cleaning up my diet and getting healthy, I don't over-indulge in those things anymore. I even considered giving up alcohol, but I only drink once every two weeks or so now-a-days.

Hmmm.... Fast forward to Mardi Gras, and I've still got no clue what I'm going to do! I even thought, "Oh, I love tater tots. Maybe I'll run to the store and grab some so I can eat them for dinner tonight." But you know what? I don't want to. What's the point of stuffing my face when I know I'm just going to have to work THAT much harder to get my body to work it off?
