Day 107: I Am Taking A Manbatical

A manbatical? What does that even mean? Well, it means no relationship with a man for a WHOLE year or however long you decide to do it for. I figured I would go for broke though, and chose to do it for one full year, UNLESS I get my goals done early. Crazy, I know.  That means no dating, no kissing, no sex, no physical anything…well, except for hugs. Hugs are ok.
If you think it is easy, think again. It was designed to keep me focused on my goals and what I want to accomplish so that I can get to where I want to go without the daily distractions. But holy smokes it is tough! Worse when you like someone and every day you’re thinking…should I or shouldn’t I? My sneaky me, the one that likes to find loopholes in things, is coming out a lot stronger. I am going to have to up my game if I am going to survive this thing. Discipline Nicole, discipline!
A friend of mine, knowing my situation, came across a funny video clip today of a female comedian who is doing something much like myself. She too is on a “manbatical” otherwise known as a man diet. NO MAN FOR YOU! Suddenly I feel like I am on an episode of Seinfeld. You know, the Soup Nazi one…”NO SOUP FOR YOU- ONE YEAR!”
Finally there is SOMEONE out there who understands the torture. HA! If you haven’t seen the “Manbatical” clip before, I have attached it below. Enjoy!
