Second day and I haven't faltered (yet!), with a big plate of beans and eggs for breakfast and the second chicken-breast for lunch; better yet, I ate more slowly than I think I ever had before. Strangely, I can't see any difference in the mirror just yet...

After last night's pre-sleep cold shower I thought I'd try something similar after a slow-carb breakfast. I started with hot water, scrubbed up ... and then twisted the hot tap off completely and shivered myself awake! Seriously bad, but better than I'd expected. (I've tried the "cold finish" before, but never been able to turn the hot tap all the way off ... so more a "tepid finish" I suppose. Let's see if it makes any difference to my metabolism, eh?)

So I don't really know if I'm forming good habits just yet, or if I'm in the "three day monk" period and will revert to my quick-eating, hot-showering self by Friday.

I'm missing milky coffee most, I think.
