Coffee Break with Liz and Kate

It’s pretty easy to write optimistically from carb-laden bloat. Easy to imagine giving up something for Lent – especially pancakes (yesterday was Fat Tuesday and I observed it.)

While pancakes may seem an easy item to give up for the next 40-some days, I must make a confession. I don’t like giving things up. Not by personal choice and not by force. (Especially not by force.)

So when it comes to Lent, I am a slacker. The only thing I give up will be meat every Friday between now and Easter. But that’s about it.

In an attempt to redeem myself, I decided to add something to my daily routine over the next six or so weeks: I’ll be drinking more tea, to the tune of at least 32 ounces a day.

Now some of you may insist tea doesn’t provide the same hydration qualities. If so, check out this article!

Seriously, how cool is that? Since I am a huge fan of  unsweetened tea, and not so much a fan of water, this could be perfect!  For a Lenten slacker, I think it’s not half bad.

Do you observe Lent? If so, what are you planning to give up or add to your routine for the next few weeks? Drop us a line at  lizandkate@live.com or leave your comments here.
