Pretty much! I'm usually up by sunrise if not before. Mr. Owl likes to sleep in. He did get up early the other day to see our b.i.l. off. He quoth: "Wow, look how red that is out there. So *that's* what a sunrise looks like around here."

WOW!!!!!! That's impressive! How do you feel? Do you crave carbs? Do you feel more or less energetic?

Feel about the same.No don't crave carbs.
Still learning about what to eat and not eat.
I don't get crazy hungry,like on a carb diet.
For years all the exercise I didn't lose a lb.
When I started this,it was to get my high sugar back to normal,so I wouldn't drift into diabetes.
Then I stepped on the scale about a week ago and saw I lost 12 lbs and lost 3 more since.

The deep rich red is usually a sunset here...... Unless there is a fire of course.

You must have some pretty long days in June..

My oldest use to say she would crave carbs but that seems alien to me, I have no idea what that is like.......

I eat w/ my eyes I guess.

We do, as well as long twilights. Sunrise at summer solstice is ~5:50am (EDT) and sunset ~9:50pm. You can add about 45 minutes to each one of good light!

Hope you guys are staying fire-free this summer. There's enough of that going around between the Amazon, Alaska, and Siberia.

Great job!!! Have you increased your physical activity too, or is this solely due to diet changes?

You're lucky then! My Waterloo is salt; I love salty/savory foods way more than I should. Like those blueberry muffins the other day.... I ate only one of them; the boys finished the rest of them off.

Yes, very good so far.

This year I was up early many times & noticed how much sooner the ambient light makes things very visible long before the actual sunrise.

I usually use weather underground as it is the most localized & you get worthless ti-bits like that....lol

I use to eat lots of salty snacks Was all I ever knew......lol My daughter (the dietitian) asks in 7th grade "why are all of our snacks salty"..... I was kinda dumbfounded, aren't all snack salty....
