Sugar-Free Lent: Day Thirty-Six

Sugar-Free Lent: Day Thirty-Six!



I recognised that I'm now close to the forty days, but Lent is not over. Next Sunday is not Easter, it is only Palm Sunday so I was wondering if I got the forty days of Lent wrong in my under-sugared brain. It wouldn't have been the first mistake I made.



So off I went to the dictionary, yea, books still play a big role in my life, and looked up "Lent". And, yes, it is forty days but without the Sundays. On Sundays you are actually not supposed to fast. So they exclude those Sundays but that makes the whole thing a lot longer. In total you have 6.5 weeks of Lent or 46 days. Well, I didn't exclude the Sundays and was as sugar-free as on any other day.

I still don't feel the benefit of being sugar free and started to wonder what I was actually doing here. Do I want to be one of those people who cannot go out for a meal anymore? Do I really never EVER want to have a piece of just ordinary CAKE? And what about Panna Cotta and sticky toffee pudding? I'm talking about things here which are worth eating. Or are they????
