Jazbina

Dear Diary,

the sauna/ice plunge enclosure is done. I shall call it… Jazbina.

A grotesque and unwelcome place, a symbol of the despair one feels when entering the near-zero temperature of the Kinos.

It is two shelves, a small heater, a cabinet, and some decorative walls away from being less hostile and more usable, but we’re getting there. Corporeal hyperoptimization, here we come! 🔥🧊🔥🧊🔥🧊

My leg is feeling significantly better since I started cycling every day and doing 5km of walking. I walk with less pain and I think my unstretched squat is deeper. I am curious to hear what the PT folks will say on Monday. I am noticing less pain in my back too, already - probably from the core exercises and increase in walking.

Manageable Goals

As a reminder, the goals I have for myself this year are:

• do something physically challenging every day

• do something mentally challenging every day

• try to walk 5+ km every day

• stay below 75kg of weight

• do 1 focused hour of at least one of the following activities every day:

  • ukulele practice

  • illustration

  • coding

  • reading

• read two books per month and write a short review of each.

No rigid numbers, no too-hard-to-follow discipline. Just be better. Every day.
