So I was reading the other evening about Lent on www.wikipedia.org and I came across an interesting fact, one that I missed when I read up on Lent at the beginning.
It seems that because the period of Lent is 40 days, yet the time between Ash Wednesday and Easter Sunday is 46 days, you aren't supposed to fast/abstain from whatever you've commited to on Sundays. This means that all those past Sundays I could have indulged and eaten chocolate :(
But besides an accidental slip of having a Hot Chocolate at the Battle Cry event on March 9th, I haven't fallen of the wagon...I've managed so far to make it 43 days without consuming any chocolate. I'm not sure what I am going to have first on Sunday -- should I start the day with chocolate? Am I going to still like chocolate? Having not eaten chocolate for that many days, has it become a habit to not eat it?! Will I have to remind myself that I can eat chocolate? All these questions and many more will be answered on Sunday...
