1) Facebook
2) Coffee
3) Alcohol
4) Gossip websites
5) Single player games
I did fairly well with a few exceptions--a birthday drink, one happy hour, and a couple Minesweeper games during Big Brother. One of the reasons it worked so well is because I chose to see Sunday--a day of celebrating the Resurrection no matter the church season--as a time to break my Lenten "fasts." Based on that success, I'm setting some of my goals for my next "40" days--or until the end of May--with that in mind.
1) No Facebook or Pinterest except on the weekend.
2) Sweet treats only on cardio days.
3) Alcohol only in social occasions. (I feel the need to say that I set this goal not because I think I drink a lot, but because alcohol is expensive.)
4) No gossip websites or buzzfeed or single player games ever.
5) No iPhone usage while in bed or for 30 minutes after I get home from work.
6) Caffeine only on the weekends.
As for positive goals:
1) Spend at least 10 minutes everyday cleaning and organizing.
2) Spend at least 10 minutes everyday outside, weather permitting.
3) Do one long walk every week.
4) Do back exercises/planks/push-ups daily.
5) Read a book. (Between classes for work and my iPhone, my reading habits have grown dismal.)
6) Finish my photo album.
7) Use My Fitness Pal.
8) Finish a knit or crochet project.
