Week 1- No TV
10 minutes. All I have is 10 minutes, but I am committed to it. I said I was going to blog and I am. It is nice to keep a promise to myself. Now the key will be doing it on the reg. What is 365 Days of no tv? It is what it is.... with a couple caviats. Here are the rules for my 2019 Year.
1) No TV Alone and at home
2) You can watch Social TV with Friends
3) You can watch TV at the Gym
4) Post about your week on Sundays
I have tried doing no TV cleanses before, but they have not stuck. That is because they are not grounded in realism. I make these rules, because I know that I do better at the Gym if I have TV to distract me from running. I have social tv, because I know that I have friends that like watching TV and it is a nice thing to do while cooking together.
Why 365 days of no TV? I find that I am addicted to TV and I start making bad choices... staying up all hours of the night. Driving with TV on my phone. Making plans to watch tv and eat in. All of this is not healthy behavior. I want to leave a healthy life. I want to live life. I feel like I avoid life. I avoid emotions by watching TV. TV takes me away from my shit and puts me in someone elses, usually that person ends up fine... unless you are Ned Stark. Then things don't end up fine.
So, it has been a week and what have I done? Here:
1) No TV Alone and at home

So, it has been a week and what have I done? Here:
- Started planning what bobby is wearing to our wedding
- Started planning my hair and make-up for the wedding
- Made a hair appointment and a make up appointment
- Finished an online book... it would be nice to finish a paper bound book
- Baked Challah and Chicken Soup
- Washed the dog
- I have run out of things to say....
- I have gone to the gym every day since jan 2nd and saturdays. I have a new rule too. No worrying about the gym on saturdays. You can worry about the gym 6 out of 7 days a week
- Oh! I went to Torah study and services. It was good food for the soul.
Anyway, my 10 minutes is up. I really should get some pictures up hear of my life now without TV.
Tootles.
