    • After self-pacing my breathwork for the last few weeks, I did a wim-hof-guided session today just to touch base. I feel like my pace is on point, although my breaths are fully/deeper at the same frequency as I improve. I did notice that I got more lightheaded and had an overall MORE effective session, even at retention times of 90/120/150s (shorter than when I self-pace) . Why is this? Not exactly sure. I think it’s because I don’t have to keep a backburner thought process on counting breaths or advancing to the next session. Guidance allows you to drop all structure and just immerse. The music/voice also adds a distraction during the retention portion (good? bad? both?).
    • Mealprepped. Oatmilk, liver, rice, eggs, bacon, tortillas.
    • Also segmented/tenderized/scored/brined/injected a practice turkey for tomorrow.
    • World cup bracket fillout.
    • Always dry brine meat (not just fish) uncovered on baking racks in the fridge so that the pellicle forms. Dries the exterior out (crispy skin) and attracts more smoke (if smoking).
    • Lots of private work.
