I am doing pretty well with my plan even though sometimes I am tempted to go on. Giving up on my rut is something I thought was going to be really heard but its not all that bad. Its only at night when i feel tempted but i try to keep my mind away from going on by reading magazines and working out. I feel pretty good about this because I am able to focus on other things. A lot of people have come up to me and asked if i have gotten their messages. I tell them what i am doing and they tell me that I am not going to last. I have been doing pretty well so far and when ever i do feel tempted to go on i just think what Thoreau would have said, “let company come and let company go, let the bells ring and the children cry,- determined to make a day of it…” Without Facebook I am making more the days more productive.
