Wow, a week in, and still on track. This has to be a record for me :)
No issues today, maybe caught some inadvertent TV while doing some tasks in the kitchen, as I am not restricting my husband's TV watching during one of my 'trials'. But outside of that, I had no issues today. Relaxed maybe a bit more then I wanted to, it ended up being a recovery day after our ride on Sunday. Boy, I know I am out of shape, but this drives it home more then needed. My legs get so sore its like my joints won't function correctly when I try and walk. Lol…oh well, it was fun, and glad I got a good workout in even if I can barely walk today.
Some pieces are starting to come together on the tasks I have been pondering on lately. Ideas I have had previously, but haven't necessarily put all the parts together to make a true plan. Part of the goal of this month was to take those high level ideas and start to hammer them out into real possibilities. I think I am going to continue to abstain from PC access even if its for research on these 'work' type projects. I have enough items to still think over, that I can continue working out the kinks and draw up a to do list to work on later. I suspect if I get a few more things done this week and over the weekend, there is a chance I might start tackling that to do list for work projects in the second half of this month. For now, going to still abstain from internet access even for work, its best at this stage. I have plenty of household projects and chores that I need to continue tackling first.
As I head into day 8, things are getting much easier. Do I still find myself wanting to get on the internet? Of course, big time. But does it consume as much energy as it did previously, definitely not. I haven't had the urge to plop down on the couch in front of the TV yet either. Course, having books on hand pretty much takes care of that, but I will slate books as better then TV any day (even if they are fiction). Still probably need to cut books back a bit more, but I am going to focus on the positive that I have stuck to my guns for 7 days, and feel good about that.
I have already started coming up with ideas for my next 30 days. Probably going to be a combination meditation, yoga, and early rising plan. Likely will be done in increments, working each item up to optimal amounts over about a two week period. Need to probably invest in a new alarm clock and possibly a stop watch of sorts. I think I can come up with the stop watch type item through other items I already have at home, but frankly, I hate my alarm clock, I am programmed to hit snooze over and over on it…I think I need something new and different for a challenge involving waking up at a set time 7 days a week. Nothing fancy, its possible just a new sound will help start the challenge off right. Will also probably be putting it across the room (husbands going to love this one) LOL.
So off I go into day 8…..
- Work Productivity - NA (off work)
- Home Productivity - Medium (not very mobile, but got a few kitchen items complete)
- Energy about challenge - High
- Physical Energy - Medium/low (super sore from previous day)
- Mental clarity - High
