So last week went pretty well as far as the challenge goes. I kept my eating out to a minimum, although I was not perfect, and did a pretty good job overall going to the gym and eating better. That is the important thing about the challenged in my perspective. It is not about being perfect, it is about doing things that you either never really set the time aside to do, or try and make a change to your lifestyle that will help you learn a skill, increase your health, or just find something that will make you happy.
Like I said, I am not perfect, and I all but imploded Sunday night. I had some friends over to watch the NFC championship game. Instead of cooking for an army like I have done in the past, we just went the lazy route and ordered pizza. It was all when and good, and then it happened. One guy prevented the 49ers going to the Super Bowl on two REALLY dumb mistakes. I would have been happier if the other team just outperformed us, or made a big play at the right time, but that was not the case. Two fumbled punt returns to give the other team almost guaranteed makes on field goals that gave them the win. In response, I mourned on Monday. My diet consisted of pizza for breakfast, burgers and regular soda for lunch, and Kraft deluxe mac and cheese for dinner. I got it out of my system though and am heading back on track.
This weeks challenge is no TV. That means no channel surfing for an hour a day and coming out with nothing. Just sitting in front of the TV and watching whatever on really does not help anything. The reward is going to be the 2 hour finale of Celebrity cook-off on food network. I am not going to restrict myself from video games however because the large majority of my video game playing is social, I do not really play unless I am playing with friends, and there are few other minor things holding me from finishing up a couple other hobby projects. This will allow me to finish my book sooner, the monthly challenge for January, and move on the next book that I have had for ages and have meant to read. Hopefully this will also let me get everything done for my last week of the school session and make my steps towards making this challenge thing have its own site. If you have good name ideas throw them at me.
Other than that, pretty standard week, work, home, school, eat, sleep, repeat.
I'm just sayin...
