Day 20 = Running + Cable TV

Today my cable television was officially shut off. I don't need it anymore. I decided a few weeks ago that it was sucking the life out of me. Another reason I gave it up is because I think it will free up more time for me to work out each day. I need to do that anyway instead of coming home and sitting on the couch.

The DVR is so self-defeating. What I would do every day is record shows and come home and watch what I recorded. What kind of life is that? I was feeling guilty about having this 42" flat screen HDTV and all these cable channels that I pay for; therefore, I should get some use out of it and get my money's worth. But what I've discovered is that it really isn't worth anything, and I got over the guilt. How much am I really gaining from watching today's episode of "Oprah?"

I got much more out of running tonight. The TV will always be there, and I can always hook up my laptop and catch up on any shows that I missed due to not recording them on a DVR. Right now, getting off the couch and working out is much more fulfilling than Tyra's topic on "bromances."
