Well it has been a long (and sometimes testing 40 days and nights for lent) I knew chocolate would be difficult having a sweet tooth but who knew how my lack of facebook would effect me. I haven't been a fan of facebook for sometime, but going cold turkey is a whole new ball game. The first week was tough purely because of habit. I lost count the amount of times I clicked on the icon on my phone before being met with the log-in screen. Then there was constant references from my friends...'Have you seen blah blah from school's status update? Did you see the picture I uploaded from last night?' It meant nothing to me, but rather than feeling left out I actually started to feel a little smug that I wasn't wasting my time on such pointless things. The only thing I missed was being able to see pictures from my family, my cousin will regularly posts pictures of my godchildren and I have family in Australia who keep us updated. So what did I do at the end of the 40 days? Well of course I had to log back in for one last glance but I have deleted the app off my phone and spent a few hours deleting the people who I wouldn't say hello to in the street or seen for over 6 months. I can safely say I haven't missed out on a thing by not having Facebook and able to spend my time a lot more productively as you can see below....

Unfortunately the same cannot be said for a Chocolate and I haven't stopped indulging since! I know this must stop as I begin to train again for the London Marathon 2014. My next blog will be all about getting back in the fitness game!
Happy reading,
