Day 1

Before I get started, I was interviewed by the Simply Dope Momma, Deanna. Please check it out and follow her fabulous blog! Simply Dope Momma.

So, I deactivated my Facebook profile a few days earlier than I planned. I don't know. I just reached a point to where I was done. I think the hardest thing for me about breaking this addiction (because it's surely an addiction) is getting past the routine of scrolling my timeline and reading news articles. I've sort of thrown myself into other activities, and I have some newfound energy.

• I've been baking yummy desserts from scratch. I used to hate baking. It's been quite therapeutic, however.
• I've been cooking, organizing, and cleaning like crazy too.
• I spent more time doing activities with my kid. We've done Lego activities, coloring, arts and crafts, played video games together, and had absolutely amazing conversation.
• I even want to play board games again. My family that is visiting this weekend doesn't know this yet, but they have some Trouble and Battleship beatings coming their way after I finish writing tonight.
• Today was the first day I worked out and felt great about it in a long time. I feel productive.

I'm managing now. It feels good. Breaking the habit is really the hardest part. I'm glad I took the plunge. I'm really thinking about stepping away from all the other social networks too (Instagram, Twitter, etc). I guess I will if the feeling strikes. I haven't really spent much time on those sites anyway.

Side note: Cuffing season is real. I'm telling you...folks I haven't talked to since the last Cuffing season are making the hotline bling. LOL Eh...entertainment. I'm not mad.
