Last year, for the first time, I decided I was going to be very intentional and give up something for Lent that would give me the opportunity to be more focused on my health and well-being as I was approaching the age of 65. I have always worked out and eaten fairly healthy, but for this season, I decided I would give up gluten (bread, pasta, cookies, cakes etc.) and make a conscience effort to lift weights and try to strengthen my bones and not just be a cardio junky as I was recently diagnosed with osteopetrosis and osteoarthritis.
