While I haven't been walking except for some casual walks out downtown, I have improved my sleep quite a bit. 

First, let's get underway with the fail of continuing to walk.

Quite stationary most of that week, only one walk for the sake of walking with a higher pace that I already posted about. Even though I mentioned in my last post that I'll definitely go for a walk that evening, I didn't. Something always comes along. 

The thing I'm quite happy with, though, has been my sleep. I've noticed quite some improvements in my energy levels throughout the day as well. For the past week I've been able to go to sleep around 10-11pm and wake up around 8. Some days I even slept in too long and I had to ask @hiddenblade to wake me up a bit earlier so I wouldn't oversleep which would probably reflect negatively on my energy levels, at least in terms of brain activity. (don't quote me on that)

I guess my more regular posting has also shown that I've had more energy lately, before this there were periods I wouldn't post for weeks at a time if not months, then a few sprints of many posts in a row and then back to nothing. It's especially weird considering I'm a "full-time" hiver, so to speak, but there's definitely been tons of things to do on the side even if I'm not actively posting or engaging as much as I'd like on my posts and other hivers I read. 

Most of that time has been spent on @holozing of course. A lot is happening there at the moment, feels like things were moving a bit slow for a while with things being out of my control and just waiting around for artists to finish on some set pieces we needed and now it's 3 things at once getting done. A lot of respect to our "hive" devs @asgarth and @rishi556 who've been doing some great work behind the scenes and at times even tackled things I assume they haven't done before. 

It feels like this is the calm before the storm and I can't wait to hear the reactions of people buying and opening up our Holozing Alpha Vials and sooner rather than later also test the open alpha. Exciting times. 

But okay, this post was going to be about my health and exercise or lack thereof. Well, one thing I vowed to myself when I joined this chain was to stay true and do things the right way, so here I am acknowledging that it hasn't gone as well as it could and there's no one else to blame than myself. There's always excuses but in reality it really shouldn't be that difficult to put on some training shoes, go walk for 15-30mins and hit the shower real quick, but I'm a master at finding the excuses not to do them. I guess the good thing is that my sleep has improved to a point where I don't just uselessly procrastinate on things I should get done in terms of hive and my other projects on here, there's been periods of that too when my sleep was at its worst, which of course I also had an excuse to keep it that way at the time (important people I work with are on a different time-zone so I should adapt to that). 

Oh well, maybe guilt will finally get me walking again here soon. :p 

Until next post, let's see if I did go for those walks or nah. 

PS. I did install @actifit and looked around a little the other day. Seems nice but the design could use a rework.
