Cutting out daily bathing? Did you mean that you prefer showers to bathing?

In India, I used shower at 6 AM in the morning on weekends because grandpa expected me to start chanting Sri venkateshwara stothram by 6:30 AM and would slap me if I was not clean before facing god . Over here, I usually shower and offer prayers to god before 7:30 AM (Ragu Kalam). I also try my best at all times to shower with cold water due to religious reasons. But during the winter its sometimes overwhelming to do so.

I got my own office at work without asking for it. My non bathing seems to pay off. If I just weren't so lonely.
Non bathing definitely the way to go.
I like showers better anyway

This ^^. In addition to meat and dairy, these other foods - broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage - contain sulfur also. The smelly hydrogen sulfide gas can seep through the pores of your skin.

But I like eating Broccoli's and cauliflower. They taste very nice after being steam cooked in a salt + water solution and mixed with chili powder.

Those prayers are early!

I shower with warm water in the a.m. and it feels so good. After that, I get dressed and meditate for 15 minutes.

Winters are tough for me when it comes to showering. Who wants to rinse themselves in cold water when it's 15 F at sunrise. That's the kind of winter weather we get here at 7:30 AM on new years day.
