Here’s what my day looks like with the new lifestyle adaptations (note that I didn’t start all these at once):

• Wake at 5:00 AM and read my Bible (Exodus and Luke right now)
• Take a cold shower (!)
• Drink a quart of iced water
• Get myself and the kids ready for the day
• Work, with a 30-minute walk on my lunch break
• Family worship after work
• Eat my one meal for the day (OMAD, 23:1) anywhere from 5:30-6:30
• Take multivitamin caplet and sambucas immune booster pill
• Walk for 30 minutes again
• Hang out with the family, read, take care of things around the house, journal, etc. (basically here I try to really restrict screen time)
• ALL THE WHILE I stand, walk, or pace as much as possible. I’ve been sitting way too much for years
• Lie down and read from the Psalms or Proverbs (read through them every four months)
• Asleep by 10:00 PM

I’m down 6.5 pounds thus far! In the next post, I’ll go into the “why” of some of my choices.
