 Happy New Year.  It's January in the year 2023. Round 13 kicks off today.  Round 13 goes from January 1 to April 1, 2023. Fasting Protocol I am starting and ending the round with a 36 hour fast. I will be doing daily intermittent fasting using one of these three protocols: 16:8 18:6 20:4 Workout Routine I am starting a 90 day strength and flexibility rotation that I will be doing in three blocks.  Each block is roughly the equivalent of a month.

A Good Start to the New Year

I have decided that I am not a soup person. I bought several things of Progresso and Healthy Choice soups and they just were not appetizing. I will be taking the remainder back Wal-Mart. I was hungry a couple of days this week, but not so much that I felt the need to go grab something to eat. That surprised me considering all the crap/junk I ate over the holidays.
