Ash Wednesday: The start of Lent...

I don't very often come on here and talk about my faith or things to do with church but since its that time of year again I thought I would. For those of you who don't know Ash Wednesday is the day after Shrove Tuesday (or pancake day) and signifies the lead up to Easter.

It is tradition for many people around the time of lent to give something up. For the last few years I have decided to give things up. Lent is about a time of reflection and removing things from your life. However I also know people who decide to take things up for Lent as well.

This year I have decided to remove the following things from my life for the period of lent:

• Chocolate
• Sweets
• Biscuits
• Cakes 
• Crisps
• Fizzy Drinks

I am hoping as well as a time for reflection it will also give me time to reflect and focus on my heathy eating. 

As well as giving up something for Lent I also want to take something up for lent as well. You can follow my progress for what I will be doing and how is it going on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram (links at the top). 

Are you giving or starting anything for Lent??
