still going strong fellas

had my freezing cold shower about an hour ago, was dreading it but its getting better as days go by, still fucking freezing but not a shocking as the first few days......

i noticed i dont have to apply face moisture cream after the cold shower as it doesn't strip the body lubricant like how water does...

youll have noticed by now incidents of waking from though which reveals seconds spent away from the cold being at the center of your attention

it zooms back in and you notice that it was gone for a small while

monks can keep it up for days

accepting the cold as a feeling not hostile

when studied in such state they seems to have provoked an antagonistic response
skin temperature noticable above baseline

next time
instead of bracing for the experience

think of its embrace as welcomed

not as an ordeal to be withstood

but as an experience to be enjoyed in ever second of it...

10 days of cold showers,

feel great every time i get out of the shower like a natural high that lasts a few hours, skin feels great, no need to moisture after i have had a shave..

along with the vitamin D and turmeric capsules and exercising almost every day in the garden, skipping and 45-pound weight plate, i feel awesome, not smoked weed for agesor cigs don't miss it anymore hope it lasts, as sometimes when i watch an interesting documentary i like a huge cup of coffee and a joint to go with it, this is the only time i think about weed..

the cold shower has been a revelation to me, now i am thinking about wild river swimming, going to the local river early in the morning with my mate jimbo and swimming right to the other end of the river early in the morning

Like going from the sauna to an ice water swim.

Knew an old man once, that in the winter months would go to the health club, work out, hot shower, and would then go stand outside in the freezing temps in just shorts for aboot 15 minutes. I always just thought he was a bit looney back then....but obviously he just knew something that I did not.

i am doing the 200 squats a day for 30 days challenge,

started 4 days ago and couldn't walk the next day, but now i do get tired but glute muscles and calf muscles don't hurt anymore well its minimal i hold a 12kg kettlebell while i am squatting... no wonder people neglect their legs coz squatting is hard to do, i am determined to get through it though

been watching YT vids and some people start off with 50 squats a day, but the video i watched was doing 200 so i am committed now and cant go back otherwise ill disappoint myself, and ill think i am a failure for months and months so to save myself from all that negative thinking i will do the 200 per day

i do 20 reps and then do another exercise like skipping and then go back to squats until i do 200, its fucking freezing outside but i still go i the garden to do them, bearing in my mind i am on day 4. last night it was raining so i had to move the table and couch out of the way and do it inside...

in the future its best i think hard instead of making crazy rash decisions and then sticking to it if i fail at something it really affects me so i make sure everything i set my mind to i actually do it WELL.

this kind of attitude has actually helped me achieve because i am really organized person, i am very pragmatic

strive for slow stead and deliberate movements in your lifting and excercise and if it takes less weight to manage it that way then thats the way to do it as this brings far more core muscle groups into the picture which is very helpful indeed...
