What will I give up for Lent?

 Lent begins today, Ash Wednesday and to be honest I'm not exactly giving up anything for Lent. What I will be doing is cutting down on screen time. I have already started this a little last Saturday. I personally spend many hours on screens be it computer, tablet, games consoles or television. I watch T.V. during meal times too. This is the part I am giving up. During breakfast and dinner for the most part I will try and not watch T.V. I will talk to the people around me. I recently started using my New Nintendo 3dsXL and I have noticed I can play it for a long time during the course of the day. I have started using a timer to keep me more mindful of my use of it and that has helped. I  want to use Lent as a time to become closer to God. I aim to do that by either praying a bit more, even one small prayer is good or do something that helps me be closer to God. That can be play religious music, read religious books, going for a walk and noticing the things He created or gardening.

Starting my weight loss journey again

On the 4th of January 2023 I wrote a post outlining my goals for 2023. One of them was to lose weight in a year. I originally set this goal to start from yesterday the 4th of February but I weight myself today instead. My goal is to lose 1 stone by next Christmas please God. This is my starting weight. I have not decided if I will weigh myself on a Saturday or Sunday each week. But I will decide that as the weeks go on. I will weigh myself each week if I can. I aim to lose 1-2lbs a week. My 1st plan is to cut down the days I have treats. Now I have them on Saturday and Sunday. I will cut it down to Sunday. I also plan to restart using healthunlocked website to log my weightloss. You can follow me  https://healthunlocked.com/user/CreativeKnitter That is enough of a change as I don't want to change to much too quickly. Starting weight 16 st 0 lbs Weight next week: 15 st 13 lbs
