40 Bags in 40 days

I found this idea on Pinterest a few weeks ago.  The point is to do it for lent.  It is called 40 bags in 40 days (obvi, that is the name of the post).  You make a list of 40 places you want to go through and theoretically throw out 40 bags of stuff in 40 days.  Well I took a new spin on it because I live in a smaller house and have no kids....I wouldn't own anything if I did 40 garbage bags and honestly I don't hold on to things I am ALWAYS putting stuff into the yard sale bins.  I pulled out my list (because today is the start of lent) and realized I had already completed 3 things on my list....yay me.  So needless to say I didn't do anything on my list today :(  Looks like tomorrow is done also so maybe I will be able to start on Friday!! 
I am also giving up fast food for lent.  When I lived in NY the closest fast food place was like 30 min away so I NEVER went....EVER.  When I was in college I used my meal plan and never got fast food because it wasn't as good as what they had with the meal plan.  Now that I moved up to Dewey and they have every fast food place you could think of (even ones I never heard of) I find that me and Jordan find a lot of convenience in going there.  When you get home at 6 the last thing I want to do is cook dinner.  But I am getting tired of draining my bank account of fast food and eating food that isn't good for you (as much as Jordan argues that it is fine to eat).
