Notes -
New Years resolutions updates- we're a little over a quarter of the way through the year, how is everyone doing?
For myself, I have meaningfully reduced my intake of restaurant food in general by better planning/meal prep and an increased willingness to eat leftovers. This is cheaper but I haven't actually seen any health benefits; I'm not sure if this is because my health was already pretty good or because I need to do something or other else, maybe exercise.
I scoffed internally on reading this but damn.
I quit sugar (read: anything tasting sweet) about a month ago. I have had one or two lapses but generally I skip sugary snacks that previously I would have indulged without thinking (chocolate croissant with coffee is now just coffee, ice cream after dinner with my sons is now a glass of water or cup of some herbal tea thing we have from someone). I, too, have noticed little difference except possibly more energy in mid-day. But I'm on a fitness kick and trying to curate more carefully what I eat for metabolic health. Doc appt end of the month will see where I'm at.
Also recently I put chia seeds in things and on things, and have discovered I like blueberries.
The cutting back in restaurants must help with the wallet, even if you don't feel differently.
I mean the average New Year’s resolution Peters out in what, February?
