We still had pancakes. In the same fashion. i.e Pancakes for breakfast, Pancakes for dinner.(Savoury for mains, sweet for pud) but the difference is that we paced ourselves and I am observing Lent.
For Lent, I will be on a Sugar Fast. Which means, no Sugar, sweeteners, Baked Goods, Ice cream. This is so I know Sugar doesn't control me. If it does (which I suspect it does as I crave it) then this period will break the habit. I will use Lent to pray more and focus on the next bit of our lives.
I am quite excited about Lent. I may not be by day 20! All I know is this year, Hot cross Buns will be warmly welcomed!
Who else observes Lent? What are you doing this year?

I observe lent. I will be fasting tomorrow for Ash Wednesday. Every Friday I abstain and don't eat meat. I honestly have never given up anything for Lent but this year I really hope to get a bit closer to the Lord.
I was never taught about lent or really know what it is about. This year my goal is to read about lent during lent and decide if it is something I want to participate in next year.
I crave carbs a lot and suspect fasting from sugar would be good for me... I just need to get more organized and on top of having healthy snacks around so I can munch on them instead!
Interesting about pancake day; I'd never heard of it!
I think that's pretty dedicated Sabrina, the only Friday I abstain from meat is Good Friday. Good luck!
That's a good plan! Like you we didn't really do lent in our evangelical church but I was always aware of it, I have been reading about it over the years. I always used to avoid fasting too (out of fear maybe?)
Good luck Lori, you'll need it if your love for carbs & all things sweet runs as deep as mine! This will be good for me I think!
Best wishes in your efforts Princess Poet!
Good luck with the sugar fast through lent.
Last year I gave up the vendi machine at work basically crisps for the whole time.
Since then I hardly ever eat crisps and I used to have them daily with my lunch.
That kind of goal would be difficult for me, I admire your effort.
It is really hard. I had to adjust to avoiding Sugar, I let myself have honey & stevia and its still quite tough.. Tonight the family were having chocolate digestives with their cup of tea & I just had to stare!
