Giving up Facebook for 40 days.

It's only about 2 pm on day one and I'm already going a little crazy. I think that's evidence enough that I need a brake from the time consuming and addictive Facebook. I'm using Lent as more of a time frame, rather than a religious experience. I'm using Lent to rid myself of something in my life that it's crucial, and that is addictive.
I have a lot of reading homework to do, I have paintings to paint, projects to work on, job hunting to do, journaling, and so, so much more that I could do, and yet here I am, blogging about Facebook because I can’t go on Facebook. Wow. My hope isn’t that I will quit Facebook forever, but rather that I will waste less time on it. I figure the best way to go on FB less is to start by not going on at all.

So here’s something productive I did today instead of going on Facebook. I went running. Okay, it was some running and a lot of walking, but it’s only day two of running in a long, long time- I’ve got to start somewhere. I’ve always loved running, which makes me a silly human. I love something that’s good for me and I never do it. In contrast so many of us do things that aren’t good for us, even when we know they wont make us feel good, and they’re not that enjoyable! Example- we love to overeat or eat sweets, even though we know they’ll give us mood swings and make us feel sick! Now I’m not saying abolish all cake, because then we’d be in hell- I love cake, but I am saying we don’t need candy, soda or whatever other crap we love put in us EVERY DAY.

I always love those high fructose corn syrup commercials because they always say, “it’s fine, like sugar, in moderation,” but then they pump high fructose corn syrup and sugar into everything! Here’s a video that I thought was good- oh man, I sound like Lucy from SVU! Haha, I guess she was right all along…bwahaha! Sorry for the health kick blogs I’ve been doing so much of ;)
Hahahaha, aren't you glad I'm not this intense:

Here's another good one!
