Top 10 reasons to disconnect on a Monday.
You ready?
- You played hooky from work Friday and are making up for it today.
- You’re too busy enjoying summer.
- Your brain is on vacation (Mine is).
- You are on vacation (I wish).
- Your socializing with IRL people and friends today.
- You’ve run out of status updates.
- Your moving and without internet (ya, still kinda there).
- You ate sardines and GF crackers this weekend, not really a creative recipe to share. (Guilty)
- You’re spending the day in the kitchen, making goodies. (Yes, Healthy Bite orders to complete today!)
- And finally… your laptop has virus and is getting fixed. (Sad but true. But I’ll take that as a sign.)
Just for kicks, here’s a little Monday Fun!
Wanna catch up on last week? That’s only if you’re not disconnecting.
Here are a few:

Michele @ nycrunningmama
Little behind in my blog reading =) I wish I were on vacation. And by “I”, I mean I wish my hubby was so he could take care of AJ all day and I could rest. HAHA. Family vacation isn’t until mid-Aug though!!
Love your list. Love you =) That is all!
LCCotter

J’ADORE. That is all.
LCCotter

Christine @ Love, Life, Surf
Let’s see, I think that numbers 1-6 just about cover me. I’m happy to hear that you’re disconnecting because you’re in the kitchen. I have to place another order soon! Although I’m still undecided as to whether or not I will share with my kids 🙂
PurelyMichelle

Jess @ Blonde Ponytail
YES! I still remind myself of your disconnecting policy when you are with your hubs on the weekends and try to follow suit!
LCCotter

LOVE IT! I’ve been feeling unmotivated for writing blog posts and taking it as a sign that maybe I need to take a little break. Just feeling burned out when it comes to writing lately. I’m enjoying other social media apps though. 🙂
Lou
Some days I wish I could go live in a tree hut and eat roots and berries. No computers, cell phones, crazy modern day life. Just be a hippie in the bush.
LCCotter
i’ll go with you! live in a tree house!
Jan
Disconnect away, girl. You deserve a break!! Love the social media photo. So funny!
Salah (BYB Training)
I definitely need to take some time and disconnect for a bit! It seems as though I’ve been going and going and going for over a year now. This post was awesome! i’d love to meet up soon girl! (Not sure if you have my new phone number)
LCCotter
oh yes!! would love to!! i got a new phone so i need your new number!
Melissa
I totally need to disconnect. I’ve actually been really good about it in the PM until I got my new laptop. OOPS!
Jody - Fit at 54
UGH on the computer – BUT on the up end – enjoy real life! 🙂 That last social media pic – LOVE!
Lisa
Oh no, hope your computer virus goes away! Those are awesome reasons to disconnect 🙂 Wish I didn’t have work to do today hah
Beth @ Miles and Trials
Now you have me dreaming of how and when I can disconnect. Also I am dreaming of a summer vacation. Not sure where or when it’ll happen, but I must make it happen, I need it for my sanity!
Kierston
I love the social media explained! LOL Awesome!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table
I feel you on the disconnect. I had to do the same post-Chile.
So sad for your computer! Hope it’s easily fixed.
teabagginit
oh, i wish i could disconnect … from the text books today but, alas, my summer vacation involves my head being in a book. at least it’s sunny out! reading genetics or microbiology in the sun makes everything better!
Heather @ Better With Veggies
I would love to disconnect a little, but lately I have been feeling like I’m always playing catch-up. Talk to me in 3 months, then I’ll be taking a disconnect trip. 🙂
Lindsay @ Fuel My Family
I love disconnecting from the internet all together. But my dang iphone makes it way too easy to just check in really quick and suck me in!
Kalli
Yay on keeping yourself busy with real life!!!!!
Amanda @RunToTheFinish
that social media image is still totally one of my favs!
Sarena (The Non-Dairy Queen)
Good luck with getting your orders filled! I hope you have an incredible day in the kitchen and with your friends!
LCCotter
i wish you would join forces with me. How cool would that be!?
Julia
bahahaha! love that social media explained pic! too perfect. and now i kinda want a donut!?! 🙂 hope you have a fantastic unplugged day! i enjoyed my full unplugged week last week and it is definitely tough to get back in the swing of things;)
LCCotter

Stefanie @TheNewHealthy
All great reasons to disconnect! 🙂
LCCotter
we should do it more often, yes?
Miz
LOVE LOVE LOVE TO SEE.
xo
Rachelle
You absolutely deserve a day to disconnect my friend. Enjoy it!!
Sarah
ahhhh! I am so with you on these! I am really trying to pull it together today.
Mariella Lombardi
Hi Lindsay,
isn’t it funny how Mondays hit us the hardest? For me disconnecting on a Monday is a sure way to make me disconnect for the whole week.
Alysia @ Slim Sanity
social media explained, haha! too funny, and sadly true.
jobo
Love your top reasons to disconnect this weekend! (except the virus! UGH!) sounds like a fruitful weekend and sometimes, it is SO needed. I am looking forward to doing the same, for the most part, in wine country!
LCCotter
take me with you!!
Missy
Reason #11 It’s MON-day and I get to do whatever I want!
Abby’s “conserve awesomeness” remings me of “Don’t just do something, sit there!”
LCCotter
LOL! I need to remember that one.
p.s.
I’ve totally had that rib thing happen to me. It was when i was swimming a lot. WEIRD!
Katie
Does driving for 5 hours count? Because that’s what I am about to do.
I’m on vacation for the summer. Neener, neener. 😉
LCCotter
neener neener! remind me to say that to you when school starts and I’m traveling to the bahamas again. bwwahahahahahaha
Bre
I disconnected yesterday—race day means absolutely no techology for at least 8 hours! 🙂 I have to connect today because of work though…unfortunate. Happy healthy bites baking! 🙂
Jess
orrrr you’re disconnecting to LIVE, embracing PRESENCE over plugged-in-ness (yes, that’s a word!). Live it, girlfriend!
Melissa @ Live, Love, & Run
I think I’ve been too disconnected until recently. I need to find a good balance so that I don’t feel terrible when I disappear for a little while or when I’m “too focused”.
Kim K
ohhh so jealous of the disconnecting! are you guys in CdA? i have to catch up with the Kiwi today! (ps, how do i place an order for healthy bites?)
Alexandra
DUDE I’d kill to disconnect today– all of this O-Chem has turned my brain from semi-normal to complete mashed potatoes haha 😉 Let’s go on vacation to Australia together, shall we?? We can stock up on some vegemite! 😀
LCCotter
deal!
Lindsay @ Lindsay's List
this ties PERFECTLY with my post for today…but I had to make time to come here – reading CC is something i WANT to do, not HAVE to do! 😉
LCCotter
only responding because i love my LL. Now, must return to kitchen to make your healthy bites. xoxo
Tessa @ Amazing Asset
Sooo so true, I want to get better at disconnecting because I get some serious anxiety when I do! I am sorry about the virus though, how annoying!
Heather (Where's the Beach)
Man I’d love to disconnect today. Could definitely have used an extra day off!
Lindsay @ In Sweetness and In Health
Booo to the virus on your laptop! I disconnected for the past two days because I was traveling. It was glorious. And I felt a tad guilty for pressing “mark all as read” in my google reader, but I got over it pretty quickly haha
katie @KatieDid
about half of those are true for me today including the sardines over the weekend…. not much excitement there haha. Have a great day doing other things!
Tiff @ Love Sweat and Beers
I wish I could disconnect… at least from my work computer. 🙂 Sorry about the virus. I hope your computer gets well soon!
Abby
Ugh. I wish I could disconnect on this beautiful Monday, but alas, work calls 😉 If only my job would let me conserve awesomeness, I would be a happy camper!
LCCotter
ditto.
