New year. Time for some new experiments. I am 20 days into January and have been doing a dry January. Surprisingly I haven't craved beer too much. If it were warm out I imagine I might want some beer. I also realize that having a 5 month old baby that anything that detract from sleep isn't a good thing. So I think that has helped with this month of no beer. If the rest of the month goes smoothly I may extend Dry January into February.
Fasting! My colleague has been singing the praises of intermittent fasting. He picks 2 days a week and basically doesn't eat until dinner. Today I tried this and ate only a small salad and cup of soup for lunch and then at dinner had a very light salad and half of Rachel's kombutcha. All in all, I'd say I had about 600 calories today. I can't imagine it was much more than that. It's 10pm right now and I am not hungry but I have an odd full face headache that has been going on for the last 2 hours. I don't really normally ever get headaches so it interesting and definitely related to the not eating. In general I like the idea of intermittent fasting as I feel a bit too comfy sometimes; I never get actually hungry unless I am backpacking or on a really long bike ride. There seem to calories for consuming everywhere in life: home, work, etc... Stay tuned.
Update: I slept terrible. Had a headache until 3am. Then sorta of tossed and turned all night.
