tit for tat

Deciding to go sans television for a week has left me with a lot of time on my hands. A lot of time to do other things.... like Facebook! Uhhh... yeah.

Honestly though, I decided I was definitely spending too much time in front of the tube. Potatoes be warned: having Netflix Instant Watch set and ready to go on your tv is like setting yourself up to be destroyed by a black vortex of electronic, brain-melting doom. Too many episodes of too many tv shows, right at your remote-grabbing fingertips. So, the way I figured it: less tv, more productivity.
More reading! More exercising! More life living!

Pray tell, why is it not working?? I must shamefully admit I seem to be finding other ways to procrastinate. Oops.

(By the way, have you noticed I kiiind of have a thing for lists? Cause I do. Just in case you're wondering.)

Yes, yes... I am currently a pretty unmotivated person. Trying to get the handle of this whole "self-control" thing is difficult, to say the least. The good thing is I actually have been reading a bit more of "the brick," and I've already gone to the gym two days this week! Not to mention I just signed up for some killer fitness classes: Zumba and Power Yoga. Look out! So, in an effort to keep you updated, South Africa preparation is going slowly - baby step by baby step. But it's goin'!

Coming up: A look at what's going on in my spiritual life. Stay tuned.
