I think that as long as you are not overloading your tea and grapefruit with sugar or your pbandj with syrup then i think it would be OK. All the beverages should be OK. Just dont eat anything candy and pizza...when it is not Sunday.
It's only bad if you decide it is. Giving up sweets is your lenten offering. You can make it as big a sacrifice as you want; it all depends on how much you want to give -- how hard you want the sacrifice to be. Really, before Lent begins you should decide guidelines, that way you're not making it up as you go along. So go back and decide if you want to just omit certain sweets (specifically candy and chocolate) and that sweet things (syrup on pancakes) is okay -- or go hardcore and just make up your mind not to put sugar in your tea. But ultimately its your goal and your choice!
Usually when people give up sweets for lent they mean cake, candy, cookies, ice cream and stuff like that. I think you'll be OK.
It's totally your choice how far you want to take anything...but how about fruit? Sweet and yummy and healthy!
It's up to you to define what you want to give up. Remember, it's supposed to be a sacrifice so you may not be able to have things you love. The only thing that sounds like sweets to me is the chocolate milk, but that's probably because I gave up chocolate (any and all) and ice cream for Lent, and that includes Sundays for me. You do need calcium, though, so I suppose chocolate milk is a way to get it.
I would consider sweets to be things like cookies, cake, pie, candy....essentially junk food. Sugar in your tea doesn't count as sweets because it's a flavoring for the tea. I don't consider pizza to be a sweet.
Narrow it down a bit to make it easier to keep track. Good luck. Lent has just started and I'm already desperate for a piece of chocolate!!!!!
Its Sunday way feel guilty about pizza? its NO MEAT on FRIDAYS! sugar in your tea isnt the same as eating a Snickers bar either.
A bunch of us went out for fish on Friday night... :-)
I personally think the biggest thing about Lent, and actually all year is to think of others and go that extra step to do something for someone else.
here is something simple you can do:

you can send something SWEET to a US Soldier far from home.
Don't beat yourself up for having a little sugar in you tea.
And God Bless you!
(we, do with out the candy, thats why the jelly beans ect are the final treat at Easter, when Jesus rises from the dead)
and enjoy your pizza for dinner today! thats what we are having here too... too cold to go out, so movie in and pizza
