I am about to embark on taking care of my health long term through fitness. You are one of my 2 LJ friends who are serious about it, and reading your journals has helped me to do get to this point.
As far as Lent, since I became an adult I've thought of it as a time for introspection about how I can become a better person in some way, and just giving up a bad habit doesn't have the impact it did when I was growing up. Giving to a less fortunate person takes a lot of thought - at least for me - about how to do or give something that will help him or her without taking away that person's dignity. It should never be done in expectation of gratitude or applause.
