Motivational Mondays Week 7: Do not eat anything in bed for a day

7 weeks ago on a quest in 2014 to face some fears and mainly move out of my comfort zones I began Motivational Mondays.  I'm hoping to grow in many areas by embarking on this journey.  If I'm ever going to be a Reality TV Star I can't be a bore so I've decided to get up off my duff.  =)

So, on week 7 I decided to tackle #6:  Do not eat in bed for one day.

I am going to make this short and sweet and apologize for not getting it out last night as Monday is just about over.

Long story short... for as long as I can remember being on my own I have NEVER sat at a table to eat my meals. There is something very pitiful about being single and sitting alone every night eating at a table all by your lonesome.. at least in bed I have tv or Skype and it doesn't seem like I am alone.

So, I have been accustomed to this for probably about 20 years or more and it is a big deal to NOT do it... however I lucked out... well sort of...

Saturday I moved and then did packing for someone else and was up and working laboriously for 18 hours.. barely anything to eat.. no water and a little ginger ale... I was so beat!  I got back to my place and wanted to fall into bed.. but I couldn't since it was in pieces upstairs and I had no strength or brain cells for that matter to put it together.  I ended up crashing on the sofa and therefore not eating in bed.

Sheer luck!  But I did it... wait till I have to do it a week.. that'll be a killer.

Alright, later gators!  And remember to get up off your duffs!


So, @ the end of the 7th week of Motivational Mondays I am proud to say I have achieved my goal and can cross it off the list.
