Training Period 1

• foundational: improve my living conditions
• physical: cutting weight
• mental: updating active projects
• skills: shooting/drone piloting

For this three week period, the main physical goal is to cut as much weight as possible. To achieve this I will be fasting for the first week. Additionally, 6 days a week I will be rucking for an hour starting with 10 lbs and adding 5 lbs a day until I am up to 40 lbs. I will be hiking as soon as I get home from work from roughly 6-7pm. The purpose of this is to get my weight down blow 200 lbs before I start running. After the fasting period I will limiting my calories to roughly 1400 calories of a high protein diet.

I also plan to cut out all stimulants this period, so no caffeine or nicotine except for a minimum effective dose if I start having chest pains from caffeine withdraw. I will also be limiting my sleep to no more than 6 hours a night. The purpose of this is to give myself a strong base of no stimulants and a slight sleep deficit going into the next period so that I can focus on improving my sleep.

For drone piloting and shooting I will alternate days. I will use Velocidrone to practice flying horizon mode. I will use laser academy to train my pistol grip and trigger discipline.

For updating active projects, I will be spending 5 hours a week on updating pages. I intend to do this on the weekend.

In order to focus this transition I am declaring a blackout for this week. This means no shows, movies, youtube videos, etc. It also means no web browsing the only “entertainment” allowed is music. The other exception to this is the drone simulator and laser training academy.

To improve my living conditions I will cleaning my room and organizing all of my belongings. I will spend any un-allocated time cleaning and organizing my room and getting my server and 3d printers working.
