Jiujutsu and lifting has been a mental struggle in January, but I am finally starting to get my shit together and feeling better and stronger then ever.
There were times when I almost gave up, but I persisted through my sour mood because Garmin data was showing that my body is actually recovering and doing OK; stress levels, body battery, HRV balance, sleep were all good. But my mind wasn't feeling it.
I suspect it's because of two things: I weaned off most coffee, and zero sun in January.

Last week I did 3 days of lifting, 3 days of Jiujutsu, and 30mins of treadmill.
This week I'm bumping weights a bit and will try 5x Jiujutsu. I'd be really happy with that schedule if I can keep it up.

Keep at it, Tom. That's quite a week.
@tom go for it man!
I try to do 5 days of jits + 2 days of lifting, as my “must quota”.
On the days when I lift, I do the jits in the evening. My body feels it for sure, but I don’t go wild in those classes.
The thing I struggle with the most is falling asleep after the evening session. I’ll go to bed by 10, but won’t fall asleep for 1-2 hours after. That’s why I prefer morning & midday classes.
