30 Days of Perfection: Day 2 ~ Time Sucks

Despite the clearance Easter candy that was calling to me, and the bag of chocolate chips the kids left on the counter, I got through Day 1 of being sugar free. Didn't notice any withdrawal symptoms which was nice. Wasn't a crazy bitch which I'm sure my family appreciated. And I successfully completed most of my daily goals.

The one that tripped me up - not letting the computer be a time suck. Gonna have to keep working on that one. I honestly don't know where the time goes when I get in front of that screen. I start clicking around and I've lost an hour. "Lost In Cyberspace" - could be a good Twilight Zone episode or maybe a SNL skit. Anyway, I was successful at being aware of how much time I was wasting so that's something. 

Might be related to sugar withdrawal - didn't sleep well, got up crabby, kinda have a headache, feel foggy...or it might be PMS. 

What I learned - I should turn the computer off to cut down on random visits. I remembered I actually like fruits and vegetables. I can go a day without candy without losing my shit. 

Have to quickly wrap this up and get to that coffee date...

Day Two

Family: have the kids take more screen breaks

Friends: finalize plans with Julie

Work: read a chapter in "Yes, Your Teenager Is Crazy"

Writing: do journal writing at the end of the day

Habits: try again with the computer/time thing

Whole Health: eat 1 fruit/1 vegetable and drink 8 glasses of water

  1. If it helps any, I think I read somewhere that the health benefits of glasses of water max out at 6, so if you get watered out... you don't have to push so hard at the end? :)

    1. Good to know. But I couldn't get enough water. Flushing out all those toxins I guess. (I so wanted to put a bathroom joke into that sentence.)
