Day 5 - Social Media Ignorance! :)

I can't believe how much I've actually fitted into the last few days. Between work and the boys, we've had a pretty jam packed timetable, and I really don't know how I've managed to include social media into my life and kept going…. so some positives about social media not being in my life.

1. Low-carb, paleo-esque diet is keeping me awake, happy and less moody, which I guess equals more energy. Generally have eggs and either veggies or bacon for breakfast, either yoghurt with fruit, cold meat and salad or a protein shake for lunch, and dinner is meat (chicken, pork, salmon, meatballs, steak, etc) with steamed, roasted or stir-fried veggies. I've been snacking on almonds and shredded coconut. Drinking lots of lemon-infused water and peppermint tea. My naughty indulgences have been a handful of jelly lollies, two bites of white chocolate, a tablespoon of mashed potato, a glass of wine and some butterscotch self-saucing pudding. I guess it's not too bad for 4 days. I have lost 1.1 kilos, so I guess that's a good start.

2. Morning walks to the beach and up and down the 108 steps a couple of times. That really is my only exercise.

3. Getting more work done during the day so I can sleep better at night, not worrying that I still have to work in the morning. That really all depends on when my last appointments are in the day… The later the appointment, the harder it is to get it done before the onslaught of family time invades the evening.

4. Time to read a book.

5. Time to have more laughs with my boys, as well as help them with their homework.

6. I've organised a couple of coffee catch ups with old friends.

7. Being ignorant to what everyone thinks, does and posts.

8. Not thinking about what I'm missing out on!

Negatives about not having social media in my life:

1. Saying Happy Birthday to friends who I don't have contact with outside of Facebook.

2. Getting messages through Facebook that pop up on my phone that I really want to answer (ok, ok… I did once, hence one of the coffee dates.) (I have moved Facebook and Messenger to the back lists on my phone rather than deleting them… more out of sight, out of mind).

Life is good… and can only get better, by staying positive and being in-tune with what your body, mind and spirit need.
