Life Experiment 01 - Day 3, Block 1 start

Well I've made a couple decisions

one) I'm not trying hard enough and I need to get tougher with myself. My goal tonight is NO EXTRA NAP. One of the big reasons people fail doing this is allowing themselves too much comfort on the journey. Acclimation, which is the only important key at this stage, becomes more and more difficult. The attempt to make things easier results in the opposite. I'm too smart for that. I KNOW that I want to acclimate as soon as possible.

two) I need to make the 12a workout as productive as possible. This sets the tone for the hardest segment for fatigue. I also will not skip the shower. I may start taking my first of two vitamins at this hour as well. Apples laced with peanut butter will provide energy after the meal I eat. Music will be key. I need all the tools at my disposal.

I actually think that my resolve to change so many factors at once gives me a further edge over most of those people who have tried it before. The exercise and better eating is providing me energy. The scheduled naps are keeping me on the schedule to DO the exercise. New tools in the kitchen are providing me the ability to cook and the extra awake time is giving me the time to do it I wouldn't take before. It's amazing so far how many things are clicking into place. I was thinking as I rode my basic, but excellent exercise bike that I've ignored for years that if I hadn't made that decision to get it, I wouldn't have it as an essential tool for use now. My friends and resources have been as amazing as they always are, but as well are essential. I feel so grateful for that.

I'm listening to the music from the movie Gattaca and I couldn't feel more like Vincent. I feel like I'm trying to break into a world that I'm not supposed to be in based on my previous failures. But I am determined to get there. And once I reach where I want to be, I will not look out of place.
