Experimental Results
So, after one test day of my personal boot camp, I'm faced with having to re-evaluate some things. An hour of exercise, at least the way I was doing it, was a brutal endeavor that left me sore and listless. An hour of writing had me straining and panicking, by the end of it, and not in a good way, I think. An hour of reading was no big deal, but I didn't even get to music practice because Thanksgiving-related mayhem ensued (I got trapped in retail food hell for hours.) And most tellingly, I woke up the next day intimidated and anxious about the idea of doing it all again.
After explaining my ambitions to ~, she looked at me with frank concern and said, "Try 30 minutes. Don't make the mountain too high." I suspect that, as usual, she's right. I need to at least wade in a bit more gradually.
I also need to wait until Thanksgiving and the associated weekend is over, because otherwise I am simply fighting the wrong battle (my priorities vs. the people I care about: 10 rounds, 1 fall!).
So we'll try v2.0 on Monday. Until then.
