Please do not leave advice.  Thank you.  Prayers welcome. 

This is the 75th day that I have followed through with the following:

I'm making a pledge to quit using the dating site(s) and Facebook for 90
days.  I had written this on my 43things account, but I wrote that I
wanted to avoid dating sites for a full six months, so I think 90 days
is reasonable for a dating site.  I also have a penchant for looking at
and stalking certain people repeatedly on the dating website and online,
which has prevented me from sanity.  Just all out stalking certain
people has been all out crazy; if I'm not stalking one person, it's
another person.   During times I've tried to quit the dating site
before, I have visited people's dating profiles, even while not
registered on the dating site.  So part of my whole thing with quitting
dating sites is also quitting stalking people's profiles that I've tried
to date in the past.  If I accidentally load a dating site, b/c I
accidentally clicked on something obviously that doesn't count.  You can
hardly hang a cat on the Internet without hitting a dating site ad. 
Intention is everything. 

In other words:

• 90 days away from dating sites and facebook
• 90 days of not stalking people's profiles of people I've tried to date in the past
• 90 days of not stalking people online that I've tried to date in
  the past. (I am now back on day 38 for this).
• No Internet chat, aside from employment or twelve-step.  This
  includes not stalking people on AIM or other chat networks, whom I've
  tried to date in the past.  I just want to take a step back and get
  sanity and focus on MYSELF. (I'm on day 3
  of this.)
• 56 days of exercise:  All I need to do is exercise for 30 minutes a
  day: walking, swimming, hiking, biking, running, jogging, karate, yoga,
  a dance class.  Anything of those for at least 30 minutes.  And nothing
  else.  I can do the running plan, but I assure myself that each day
  that I show up to run, I will be okay, if all I do is ultimately choose
  to walk.  Whatever I feel comfortable with when I do. That way I don't
  intimidate myself.

Hi Everyone!

My goal is to finish at least 12/16 of this set of reports today.

Tomorrow I have to start on the next group and hope that I can do some cut/pasting...I have 36 to catch up (haven't looked at them since August-ouch!)  But, they are due this week. 

I have family coming for dinner tonight. My poor husband planned a nice birthday party for me tomorrow- but I had to call everyone and move it to next Sunday when I can be more relaxed...and done.  Fortunately, my family knows me and would expect me to do such a thing.

OK- on to the next report! 

These are traditional 12step meetings, held in the "meeting chatbox".
All are welcome.
