No, I'm not bored with the new regime, but anyone reading this must be thinking that watching paint dry would be more intriguing.

Notch up day three without alcohol, without even one cup of coffee -- and with another solid work-out at the gym, including 35 minutes on the cross-trainer and a short session on the weights machines.

I feel good, the posture is improving a little every day, and whatsmore, at the moment I miss neither alcohol nor caffeine. That could change, of course, but hey, live for the moment.

A big nod of appreciation to Magnus, who helped inspire this sane experiment. He helped by getting me trashed on Guinness last Friday, and it was during drunken discussions that evening that I admitted I was thinking about having a 'dry' March -- and he encouraged me to go for it. The bastard!
