2022-03-21 thru 2022-03-27: [X] Week 1 of Wim Hof Cold Protocol, 30
   seconds cold water daily. Performed indoors.
   2022-03-28 thru 2022-04-12: [ ] it simply got harder and harder to
   shower at all as I stretched the cold water time toward 1:30 in week 2
   and discovered my water could be made colder than I had had it before
   2022-04-14 thru 2022-04-15: [X] Custom protocol reacclimation, ramped
   up in five second intervals from 5 seconds to 30 seconds, every time I
   ate
   2022-04-16 thru 2022-04-22: [X] Ramped up from 35 seconds through 60
   seconds, in 5 second intervals, every time I ate
   > 2022-04-22 1930 ET: [X] 65 seconds
   2022-04-23 1130 ET: [X] 1:05
   Still harder than last month. But I'm feeling confident with my
   consistency.
   My funny experiences stepped in around when 60-65 seconds hit. I
   fumbled the timer and did it a few seconds longer than planned, and
   they came in and it felt really cold suddenly.
   2022-04-23 1714 ET: [X] 1:05 cold water, indoors, no food, no cookie
   difficulty: easy-medium
   I thought I'd stop eating immediately with showering to get myself to
   do it, if it seemed reasonable, since the instructions said not to do
   the breathing it seemed there was likely value around not needing the
   food.
   In retrospect it was a bad time to stop a reinforcement because the
   first 4-5 timing devices I tried for measuring the time had
   mysteriously stopped functioning in some way or another. So I'm on the
   raspberry pi now instead of a phone, for editing this email.
   The shower wasn't too hard, but the difficulty timing it is worrisome.
   Gotta keep it smooth and continuing. I was happy going some seconds
   over the time.
   2022-04-24 0907 ET: [X] 1:05 cold water, food after completion, indoors
   Difficulty: easy-medium
   Refraining from eating until afterward.
   It takes a little conscious effort to adapt to the cold water when it
   turns cold, which is interesting.
   Weather is warming and air is getting warmer. Thinking of keeping ice
   near the shower to cool the air a little.
   Upping time to 1:10 .

   Difficulty: medium
   2022-04-24 1809 ET: [X] 1:10 cold water, food after, indoors
   Difficulty: medium
   I was anxious and stayed in the warm water first for some time. Then
   turned it cold and used that nascent willpower to handle the chill.
   The ability to direct my attitude around the temperature has been
   developing slowly and shakily. I've had a big problem with willpower;
   engaging it can cause psychotic issues. But here it's been gently
   growing in part of me, feeling different from the big issues. Very rare
   and hopeful.
   I got cold in the water and got goosebumps this time. The alarm went
   off and I tried to consciously engage the attitude thing again, and
   with huge relief succeeded this once on more of my own schedule. I
   stayed a few seconds past.
   I've been struggling in other diverse ways, but I was wondering if the
   chilliness was from adapting to warmer air as the weather warms. Not
   certain, as the water still feels warm compared to when it seemed
   colder than my earlier hot showers.

   Difficulty: medium-easy
   I was thinking how warm it was and did this. I didn't use much warm
   water prior, which I consider for a reason it felt colder than usual.
   2022-04-26 0710 ET: [X] 1:10 cold water, food after, indoors
   Difficulty: medium-easy
   The biggest issue was starting, which is still worrisome.
   I took a longer warm shower prior because I wanted to bathe.
   I stayed under some seconds after and got the icecream headache.
   It seems past time to up the length, but it's been a big struggle
   initiating it. Not certain. The cold water inhibition wants my food
   urge to separate from it, it's easier to eat prior than after. I was
   thinking of tracking when and how much I eat, to take migrating off it
   slowly and purposefully like the water. Unsure.
   2022-04-26 1444 ET: [X] 1:10 cold water with food
   Difficulty: medium
   I had a very little food before, which helped immensely in starting. I
   then skipped the warm water mostly, and the cold water was very cold!
   Icecream headache quickly, goosebumps.
   I'm still thinking of just upping it to 1:15.
   -> entries from the 26th through the 28th lost due to editing gmail
   draft on multiple systems with intermittent connectivity. on the 27th I
   had only one meal. during most of the period I was struggling and
   confused. <-
   2022-04-28 1119 ET: [X] 1:15 cold water with food after, indoors
   Difficulty: medium-easy
   I'm exploring developing a little willpower with regard to resisting
   the cold. This time I decided to try less hard and just get used to it,
   which seemed to work ok as well.

   Difficulty: medium-easy
   Still pretty cold, but easier to do. Upping to 1:20.
   2022-04-29 0936 ET: [X] 1:20 cold water prior to food, indoors
   Difficulty: medium-easy
   I almost forgot to log this one.
   It was still very cold to start, but 1:20 seemed like a very short
   time.
   2022-04-29 1117 ET: [X] 1:20 cold water prior to food, indoors
   Difficult: medium
   It got a little hard to log.
   I added some orange slices to my food which seems to help. Warming the
   food helps too.
   I was thinking of how close I am to being back to 1:30! Take it gently,
   be confident.
