If I forget and consumed a ham sandwich with a chocolate shake, how many Hail Marys am I due?

Most people abstain from something during Lent. I absorb hot cross buns during Lent. I give them up after Easter. Not for any religious reasons; it's just that my local supermarket only sells them during Lent.

They appear in the shops too early, and I've had enough of them already before the big day. |

I'm giving up Lent for Lent.
Back in my church going days I would stay home on Ash Wednesday because of how strongly Jesus condemned the Pharisee for showing off his piety in public. "Look how religious I am!" Now, I stay home just because i DON'T go to church any more and how silly and pretentious it looks on people.

I'm not Catholic, but coincidentally, I recently decided to give up the internet one day per week. That doesn't sound like much, but it's harder than I expected. I guess that proves that I'm spending too much time online, so it's good to try to break the habit.
