I'm looking at my my handy dandy weather channel app right now. Uh-huh. It says it's 19 degrees, but it feels like seven.

0:28.0

Oh, that's pretty cold. That's how we're starting the day today. I could sit here and start to complain about the cold snap that we've been in here. It's a it's a chili 55 degrees.

0:39.0

It was 55 last weekend and we all were like almost wearing shorts. It was it was epic and glorious. No, we're at the point where there's no exposed skin if you want to keep it. Right. It's got you.

0:51.0

As I would say, it's freezing. My my beaten switch there, but I don't know if that worked. Not so much. Okay. Yeah. Well, the weather is one of the reasons that I feel compelled to put up with the hipsters here in Venice. So I like my weather.

1:10.0

Good for you. Bastard. Right. So man, it was fun having Tim on last week. Yeah, it was really cool. I mean, I went into it kind of as I mentioned to you a little bit on the fence about about him, but really nice guy really enjoyed talking to him. Definitely want to talk to him again.

1:27.0

Since then, I've actually been back on that slow carb diet that he talks about in the four hour body, which I tried ages ago and nothing really didn't really do much for me, but you know, I'm a weekend. I feel a little bit lighter, little, you know, foot, fancy free and all that jazz. And I'm also, I mean, it's just wow. It's so hard not to eat carbs because I mean, I believe like the sandwich is the most glorious food invention ever created. You just can't beat a good sandwich.

1:56.0

You can't have any sandwiches. Also noticing that when I'm out with with friends, we go to a lot of beer centric places. No beer, obviously, on this diet, but you are allowed, you know, your two glasses of wine or whatever night.

2:08.0

Can these places please step up the wine that they carry because it's all horrible. Oh, yeah, yeah, when your choices are white white red and rosé. Yeah, we've got a white in a red. Oh, great. That's fantastic. I wonder if there's a corkage for me, bring in my own wine to the library, ale house.

2:25.0

It usually is. It's 20 bucks for the most part and it's well, well worth it. Yeah, I might see. Yeah.

2:30.0

Yeah, I've been back on it too. I've also one of the things that he kind of got me jazzed up about was more, more tracking, just very specific tracking.

2:41.0

When he was talking about how he learned the tango. Yeah. And like how he like drilled down into very specific things that he was trying to change.

2:48.0

So I've been, you know, dealing with that honey thing with the sleep and in tracking that, but I haven't been able to get like really good quantifiable results.

2:58.0

Like it's all been, you know, just what did I do yesterday kind of thing? So now I've got on my sweet little iPad air. I've got a numbers spreadsheet that I track like certain metrics every day.

3:09.0

Right. Yeah, that's how I totally fail at that. I mean, for me, it was a big step to even just get that moves happen and make sure that I'm, you know, doing certain amount of walking.

3:17.0

I'm horrible at keeping track of data on things.

3:20.0

Well, that's why that's why the iPad is so great because I have it with me all the time. And I just, the metrics I'm tracking are the first time I wake up the time I get out of bed.

3:29.0

The time I have my breakfast, the time I take my vitamins, the time I take the honey at night and the time I like the closest I can get to when I fall asleep.

3:39.0

Right. And I track those. So, but at least what it helps me do during the day is be regimented about when I do those things.

3:47.0

Like getting up in the morning, like most of the time I'll forget to take my vitamins, till it's time to go to bed, which is not the greatest time to take vitamins, obviously.

3:53.0

Yeah. But I still do, which kind of screws up the other metric was what's affecting your sleep and with, you know, with the honey experiment.

4:03.0

I've been on that and have noticed that I'm getting better at a lot of different things, but I don't know what the trigger is and how I can screw it up or make it better.

4:13.0

You know, so keeping track of that and going back on slow carb is the same breakfast every single day, the same lunch every single day.
