Day 144; rest day 2; cycle 21
Much the same. Got hit by some mild illness - low fever, general blah. Sweated it out overnight. Feeling better already.
Brief observation: what if our expectations for how we experience a sub affect the actual experience? Not the effects, but the side effects. I came into E5 expecting it to be challenging, and it has been. How much of that is genuine resistance from my subconscious, and how much is self-fulfilling prophecy? I'm sure that there's been genuine subconscious resistance. But since E5 is designed to make the process smoother, have I been self-generating symptoms beyond the resistance? Or is this even a reasonable idea?
