Day 28: Cold Water Therapy
Winding down on this experiment, I can definitely say this is something that makes a big difference in getting my butt going in the morning. Taking the uncomfortably hot showers before bed have been making a noticeable difference with my sleep. I seem to sleep really deeply and wake up early – which should make…

Day 27: Cold Water Therapy
Nothing big to report on today – I was going to to go to the gym, but I’ve have had something going through my gut that makes me nervous to get under the bar. I did make myself take a cold shower and it still woke me up even at 1:30 in the afternoon.

Day 26: Cold Water Therapy
Family stayed overnight in a hotel, so yeah had to take a cold shower in a strange bathroom. But I still got it done – yeah it’s definitely getting easier to make myself do things I don’t feel like or want to do. I’m really thinking this cold water exposure thing is something potentially life-changing.…

Day 22: Cold Water Therapy
Got up and going and took a shower pretty quick after getting up and getting hydrated. It still takes some discipline to turn the water to cold and stand there. But the outcome of the shower is definitely worth it – I’m awake and feeling better. The hot water shower before bed is helping –…

Day 21: Cold Water Therapy
It sucks all the more when you wake up and the house is kind of cold, then get in the shower and turn it to cold. But I did it, and I also got my uncomfortably hot shower in last night. The hot shower seemed to help me sleep, I woke up early, but I…

Day 20: Cold Water Therapy
I made it to the gym today. I got squats and bench in, then the deadlift platform was in use – so I tried doing some asymmetric loading. I took a 40lb dumbbell in each hand then stuck one arm straight up and let the other one hang. I then walked back and forth across…
