Day Four
Three down, more to go.
Today is the fourth day of our media and (specific) food fast. Our detox diet, I guess.
The diet has gone generally well. We are still tired and still want the foods that we’re not supposed to have. But despite being so tired, I feel good. I have gone over to the gym and worked out a couple times since we’ve started the diet. That may be contributing to my good-feeling. Monica also mentioned this morning that I look thinner. Whether I am or not, compliments certainly do a little something for one’s morale.
I haven’t had too much trouble keeping away from twitter and Facebook. It was tough the first day, but has since gotten easier. I am actually considering giving them up long-term. I recently read a blog post by Don Miller where he talked about his giving up of Facebook. Basically he felt that it didn’t add anything to his life. He didn’t need to know that so-and-so was in a relationship or what who’s-his-face had for dinner. As my friend Aaron would say, “Who cares?”. Do I really need this “info”? Is it adding anything to my life? I’m not so sure.
Instead of tweeting and facebooking, I’ve found myself reading more and, as I mentioned before, going to the gym. I’ve also found some more time to share my thoughts in more than 140 characters (you’re reading it). I feel more satisfied with the use of my time, like this is more life-giving than playing Angry Birds. Although, that being said, there’s nothing wrong with a little Angry Birds once in a while.
The big question during this whole detox is what to take away from it. When all is said and done, should I go back to eating wheat or dairy? Should I get back on the twitter bandwagon? I’ve said that I feel good, but what is making me feel good? The working out? The diet? The lack of useless status updates? I guess that’s step two of the process.
