Because I believe that the yearly "40-days-without" Lent tradition is good for me, this year I Googled* the dates in advance so I'll be prepared: February 18-April 2. I'm meant to to do this! Feel free to make suggestions for what you think I should change during this time. Obviously, the final decision is up to me...but I will seriously consider any suggestions. :)
* Google lists a straight 40 days. This is probably better for me than 46 days with a few cheat days thrown in. (For an explanation why Lent begins 46 days before Easter but is only 40 days long, see How Are the 40 Days of Lent Calculated?)

My first thought was masturbation, but I'm not sure if it's considered a bad habit.... and I was thinking about myself more than you. It seems to be one of my bigger vices, so I would have liked to see whether I could go that long without it. A truly sexless period. But I remember you and that swear jar, so maybe you can do that and save some money out of it. Or limit your TV watching to an hour or two a day.
I have included masturbation in many previous Lent years. I wasn't planning to this year, but maybe I should.. Thank you.
The swear jar is an excellent idea! My finances are much more limited now, but I will find a way to make that work. I think I'll also add an exercise regimen with penalties like I have previously. Penalties force you to follow through on lazy days. :)
As for TV, I rarely watch it. An hour or two per day would actually be an increase.
