Got Lent?

I was raised Catholic, but I cannot claim being entirely devout. Still, every year I like to try giving up something during Lent. For those of you who are not familiar with Lent, here a short description from Wikipedia: Lent is the forty-day-long liturgical season of fasting and prayer before Easter.

I think of it as a cleansing or detox period. One year I gave up red meat, another year I gave up sugar. This year it's caffeine. I don't drink soda or regular coffee, but I do have a latte every morning and I love tea (earl grey and rooibos - not chamomile).

So here we go and 10 days into Lent, I'm doing well. No headaches, just cravings and some morning grouchiness. I'll admit to having a decaf latte everyday -- I know, I know it has a tiny bit of caffeine -- but that's not cheating is it?

Also, I'll be posting some updates on 12seconds.tv. 30 more days to go!
