The Church only asks us to abstain from meat on the Fridays of Lent and on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday.

That's what my wife said. She said if I wanted to observe Lent, I could do that. But, she will always pick one thing and abstain the entire 40 days, so I thought I would join her. Last year was sweets. I don't know how she does it.

Good for her. There are lots of "loopholes" in Lent if you look for them, but if you're going to go, IMO, you might as well go all the way.
