Deeply (Catholically) grumpy with my decision, for Lent, to exercise everyday, because I should be giving something up instead. Mildly worried (conventionally) that my life so resembles a decrepit pensioner’s that there isn’t much to renounce.

#personal #previously have given up tv and alcohol but have curbed intake so as to not make renunciation particularly meaningful #have never really gone in for sweets or snacking #my entire family as suggested giving up caffeine but as it helps prevent migraines I consider it halfway to being medicinal #attempting to look at it like Giving up sloth but that feels like intellectual cheating #(can’t give up social things either as i’ll be at my parents’ instead of my apartment most of Lent and so won’t be Socializing anyway)#(will also probably try to get my screen time back down to 2hrs per day but it’s not currently far enough off for that to be the Thing)#i do hate exercising and it is character-building and requires a sacrifice of sleep so 🙃
