Ok sleep. Woke up super depressed and absolutely depleted mentally. I went through my ego depletion protocol. Only this time I added a rough test-retest, asking myself how depleted I was on a scale of 1-10. Starting with a 1, I retested after each action on the ego-depletion recovery protocol. I started at a 1 - super foggy headed with no will to do anything other than languish in my own depression - to a 7.

The rest of my day was pretty damn productive. I did more meditation, hard work on writing, and a HIIT. The HIIT was interesting because I don't think I've done kettlebell swings since before I was exposed to Kelly Starrett. Doing it while bracing my core for good posture made it an entirely different experience. It was more challenging and I really felt it work my entire core.

Good sleep, good wakeup. Really focusing on finishing my writing. Also officially done with the second iteration of my 8 Week Progressive HIIT Challenge, this time at 3 times a week. The last time I did the challenge I got sick and pulled my hip so had to repeated a week or two. I did 15 HIITS across my first challenge, and I did 20 across 9 weeks this time, including a fantastic one while at a conference.

I’m going to take off from HIITs for two weeks, which will get me right up to when my travels start. I’ll have to figure out a plan for that then. Ideally I’d like to look into at least checking out crossfit gyms, but I’m not sure if I’ll get around to that. Until I decided I’m just going to be doing a light 30 minutes or an hour walk about town.
