Giving up for Lent

That "List" is just some ideas I found on the web, feel free to think of your own. I thought you liked a Challenge.

There's a niggle in the back of my mind that I should give up eating so much and lose a bit of weight,  but that is totally separate from giving anything up for Lent.  Nope, I've thought about it too, no self denial here.

No change from 2025 then !!

Without googling it, is Lent the same as Ramadan? I am trying to give up fizzy drinks and flavoured water, not because of Lent btw. I am drinking carbonated water and bottled water so am still getting my fill of microplastics!

Lent is celebrated by Christians. Ramadan is Muslim.

This is my Shortlist - haven't decided who the winners are yet!
1. Books - don't buy any.
2. Books - give away a book a day 
3. Stop using teabags and use looseleaf tea instead.
4. Eat homemade bread.
5. Sow a packet of seeds a day
6. No ready meals
7. No pretend meat products

There may be more!

I couldn't  choose a favourite - so I'm going to try  to  do all of them. A few may fall by the wayside but, as long as I can stick to a few of them until Easter, I'll be satisfied.

I started preparations today.
No 2. Started a  Book pile with the book I finished a few days ago.
No. 3 - I moved all the "teabags" out of the kitchen and replaced them with looseleaf teas so no excuse not to manage this  one.
No. 4. I made a loaf of bread.
No 5. Too wet to sow anything outdoors so I put some carlin peas to soak for peashoots. 
Nos 6 & 7. Put some Fava beans to soak - ready to cook  tomorrow.
