Tell us about what you planned on giving up for Lent and if you were able to stick with it.
A few weeks ago in this space, we asked aloud what you were planning on giving up for Lent. Many of those who responded said they were targeting soda. I did too. I got a late start--I made the decision a day after Ash Wednesday...but for the first time in quite a while, I was able to stick with it. No soda. Zip. Nada. Zilch. I actually had a dream that I had some a few weeks ago. Other than that, I can't say I missed it. How did I cope? Tea, Gatorade, Hi-C, fruit punch and water. Now that I think about it, I'm not sure my sugar levels went down all that much. But at least I can say that I stuck to my guns. How about you?

Chocolate? Facebook? What are you giving up for this religious time?
If you've logged on to Patch lately, you might have noticed our interactive map of fish frys. It's our way to help anyone giving up meat for Lent find a place for a tasty meal and to support communities. But it got us thinking: What besides meat are you giving up for Lent? And how is it going? It's tough going without something you are used to. If you are sacrificing a favorite food or activity for this period of religious observance, tell us about it.
