In 4 months, I will travel to Shanghai! This time around, I am fully aware of the stresses and challenges I will face and I am determined to be prepared to meet them with strength and resilience: physically, emotionally, psychologically, and on energetic levels! I have created a 3-month plan that will build on the work I am currently doing; continuing my progress toward a full recovery of emotional, physical, and psychic resilience and strength -- actually surpassing past levels so that when I arrive in China, I am at 125%! I will combat the air pollution, poor water quality, and overall stress with specific physical exercises, acupressure, Qi Gong, Taiji, meditation, and targeted mental practice. My goal is to strengthen my immune system, cardiovascular system, respiratory system, and emotional and physical resilience; increase physical endurance, strength, energy level; improve cognition; drop the last bit of weight I want to lose; and improve mental focus. Specific actions steps follow the progress chart, below. (Complete stats in newer post)

Plan:
* I have decided to complete a series of 7-day fasts over the course of a month or so. I will fast 7 days, then have one day of strict keto refeeding, followed by another 7-day fast, and so on, leading up to 21 to 28 days of total fasting time. This will leave me a llittle less depleted while maintaining benefits of EF, such as autophagy; maximize fat-adaptation, weight loss; and act as a sort of metabolic cross-training to increase or maintain BMR. The 7-day fasts are also a bit easier to complete. Since I've had a year of fasting practice, I've discovered which regimen works best for me (remember: fasting is very individualized and my routine will not be same as yours, nor is it better or worse! :-)). EFs are easier than 42s, and OMAD is easier for me to do consistently than 2MAD).
