Lent

So I've been thinking of what to give up for the Lenten season this year... Having such an appreciation for and connection with the ancient traditions of the Church, I will be giving up all food/drink during the daytime hours and having one meal after sunset.

Giving Up:
  • Food/drink during sunlight hours, except Sundays. (Water if needed - this is the desert...)
  • Meat on all days except Sunday (diet permitting)
Doing:
  • Rosary/Divine Mercy Chaplet once a day (at least)
  • Spiritual reading every day
  • No swearing (should this be under "giving up"? =P)
  • Grace before meals
  • Brown Scapular - started wearing already, but why not further the practice?
This is going to be difficult, but I think it will help me really grow spiritually.

What are you giving up/doing for Lent?
