    My wife and I decided to fast one full day per week until Easter.

    Well, I gave up the following:

    1) Fast Food (although, this doesn't include Taco Cabana)

    2) Soft Drink (except if I'm sick and need a Sprite)

    3) Chocolate

    4) Cookies, Candy & Cakes (except for my Daughter's b-day)

    5) Dating Around, as I want to concentrate on one woman...

    Well, to be honest, I haven't thought that far ahead, but I guess I would hope we're a lot closer so it won't be an issue...Also, by that time, my Divorce should be final and if we haven't figured it out by then, then I'm on to the next one and back to the old drawing board...

    Seems the preferred thing to give up is soft drinks, which I did as well. But I didn't give up iced tea. Thank God for that!

    I'm a 1-2 coke a day type, so it's a little rough, especially around 4 or 5 in the afternoon, but so far I've been going strong.
