Catholic Mommies: Are you giving up meat for Lent?
I will not be fasting, but what about the meat?
I have been staying away from fish because I keep reading conflicting things about what is safe and what is not safe to eat.
So I guess that leaves pasta and pizza for tomorrow and every Friday.

Re: Catholic Mommies: Are you giving up meat for Lent?
Yes, for today and every Friday I am giving up meat. I am fasting for today and I will also for Good Friday. Usually I will just eat a small dinner on those days but what I will do while pregnant is just not eat any junk food in between meals and I am having bland, simple meals and only drinking water.
Fish is GREAT for you while pregnant, I try to eat it once a week anyway.

Re: Catholic Mommies: Are you giving up meat for Lent?
I won't be eating any meat on Fridays during lent.
Other than that day, bring it on!
PS... I've been eating fish. Simple things though, like shrimp and tuna and salmon. It's yummy and I only eat it every once in a while.

Re: Catholic Mommies: Are you giving up meat for Lent?
I was planning on not eating meat on Fridays. But I have high blood sugar and need to cut down on carbs and sugar, so I may not have a choice.

I don't follow man-made "rules". Just my beliefs. So, no, I won't be giving up anything.

Re: Catholic Mommies: Are you giving up meat for Lent?
It's only on Friday's so I don't see why not.
One day a week without meat won't kill me or harm the baby I am sure!

Re: Catholic Mommies: Are you giving up meat for Lent?
I'm anemic so I will probably not be strict about it even though I usually am. I will give up something else for lent though.

Re: Catholic Mommies: Are you giving up meat for Lent?
I'm going to try to make it through today without eating meat. If I manage it, I'm going to take it on a week-by-week basis. I tend to forget about the no meat on Fridays unless its Good Friday, and even then sometimes I forget.

Re: Catholic Mommies: Are you giving up meat for Lent?
I also am not fasting this year. Going to still give up meat on Fridays. I really haven't been wanting to eat much meat anyway so it won't be a stretch. We will do pasta w/ beans, or fish, those types of things. Breakfast for dinner. Our usually lent rotation.
