Cheat Day Recovery Progress

Posted on January 24, 2022January 24, 2022 by John

Just curious to see how long it takes to bounce back from my semi-cheat meal that included some sugar and more carbs than usual.  Rest was dirty keto at worse. Today weight is down to 166.6lb so already on path to where I was.  Just one pound to go! Only other thing I noticed yesterday…

One Minute is where things get serious

Posted on January 18, 2022January 18, 2022 by John

Started 1 minute cold showers this week.  The last few weeks of building up have paid off since it is quite doable now, albeit I don’t look forward to them. What I have noticed is only now am I starting to actually experience the cold.  Before now, what I was really experiencing is the shock…

General updates

Posted on January 16, 2022January 16, 2022 by John

I have been pretty busy at work so I wanted to be sure to do a quick check-in on all I am doing:   Keto: nothing particular to report.  Still keeping to it.  Probably should not snack as much, but it is within moderation.  I could go for a nice crispy french fry but otherwise…

Making 45 seconds easier

Posted on January 14, 2022January 16, 2022 by John

Starting 45 seconds of cold shower ala Wim Hof method was off to a rough start but then I recall an interview where someone who was getting into the method note that he preferred the ice baths over the showers since with the shower you are in a constant state of getting shocked as you…

Missed something with the cold showers

Posted on January 9, 2022January 16, 2022 by John

So I have been keeping to the Wim Hof practice – breathing and cold showers daily but I did not watch this past week’s video lesson until now.  It was about stress, and most of it was same stuff you can get for free again but he did cover two important things (for me) when…

Unexpected Progress

Posted on January 8, 2022January 8, 2022 by John

Well it’s been a short but stressful week at work and I found myself snacking a little, albeit reasonably healthily and in moderation.  I also took a break from my workout routine yesterday since I was feeling a little achy in some of my joints and had pushed my flexibility a bit in the workout…

Laughing in the shower

Posted on January 4, 2022January 4, 2022 by John

Day 1 of week 2 of Wim Hof method.  This week in the cold shower challenge I move to 30 seconds under the cold water.  As usual I was dreading the idea, especially since it was cold outside – 18 degrees so the water would be extra cold and there was a chill in the…

Cold Shower challenge – 5 day streak!

Posted on December 31, 2021January 9, 2022 by John

Yes!  Day 5 of week 1 for cold showers.  Just 15 minutes this week, tho today I lingered a bit.  It’s definitely much easier than day 1 for certain.  But what is going on here?  I am sure some of this has to do with the body acclimating to it, but I am certain much…

I F-ing Hate Cold

Posted on December 27, 2021December 31, 2021 by John

Day 1 of Week 1 for the Wim Hof cold shower challenge.  I should have recorded it since the sounds I made were interesting to say the least.  That was a rough 15 seconds.  I did not get my head under the shower but I did manage to get the rest of my body into…

Starting the Wim Hof method fundamentals course

Posted on December 27, 2021January 9, 2022 by John

So I was watching a german youtuber I like and he out of the blue shared some of his health issues he has behind the scenes and how the Wim Hof methods surprisingly helped him. I had see others in the past bring this up but sounded like some random trend.  This guy however, has…
