Lent, what did you give up?

I know, this is not a religion forum.

Normally I'm not too religious. This year my daughter is in pre-K at a Catholic school, so we're paying much more attention to the religious holidays. One (of many) of the reasons I follow this forum is due to the little problem I have with Bryers ice cream. In a word, I'm addicted to the stuff. It doesn't matter if it's Rocky Road, Mint Chocolate Chip, Coffee, or Vanilla, my favorite non-flavor flavor. I love them all. Harris Teeter has the stuff on 2 for 1 ever other week and I go through 4-6, or more, half gallons (well, ok it's really their new and improved "light" half gallons ) per month. So, this year I decided to give up Bryers for Lent.

I figure this is definitely giving up something, but at the same time, it's not only good for me, it should help me lose pounds, and improve my cycling (whew, I knew I'd work cycling in here somehow). As a side bar, I've substituted fruit for the Bryers.

So, spill the beans. Anyone else give up a vice for Lent that'll help their cycling?
