40 Days

It's been decided. I'm not Catholic or religious in any other way really but I'm giving up two things for Lent. I just like the idea of having structure for my goals that is more than me saying "I should do that more/less." So I've decided to 1) not eat chocolate (!!!) and 2) not take the bus around campus (3 stops... it is usually faster than walking). Chocolate won't be so hard, I'm actually not around it that much, I just have to not make cookies for the next 5 weeks. The bus though. It's so warm and mobile. And I walk right by the bus stop every morning. But my jeans are getting harder to button and that means I need to make some sort of change in my life since I don't want to actually start exercising.
