Day 5-6 - Unplugged

Not a bad weekend, Saturday I did several projects around the house, did some cooking and stock making, and in general had a very productive day. Sunday we went riding on the track (dirt bikes), most of the day. I had set aside that I could watch a couple hours of the play off game this weekend at the start of the challenge, so I did watch about half of the steelers game from a table while we ate dinner out. As soon as the game was over, I noticed I was lingering, and immediately reminded myself TV time was over.

All in all, still a success and I have kept to my outlined habits. My husband asked me a few times for information on this or that, and I told him he would have to browse the internet himself :). I was happy with what I accomplished over the weekend, and with the day off from work today for the holiday, should continue that trend.

I did finish my two books from the library, and after a super productive Saturday, decided to go pick up a couple more. I had hesitated, because I didn't want to default to too much reading, but at this point, after a LONG day of projects and cleaning, I really had no way of unwinding outside of some exercise and meditation. I am working that in this month a bit more, but it isn't officially part of this challenge. Sometimes I take on TOO much at once, and crash. I would like to stick to my outline for 30 days which is still very drastic for me, and if decompressing with some reading in the evening works, I am going to continue for now. Likely my next challenge will involve more meditation and yoga, so will tackle that on the next go around.

Result of day 5/6 -
  • Work Productivity - NA (weekend)
  • Home Productivity - High
  • Energy about challenge - High
  • Physical Energy - Med/high
  • Mental clarity - Good
