May 24, 2025 – Wellness Check-In Final Entry: 11:54 PM

 Today felt like a day where my numbers were steady on the outside, but I was dragging under the surface. My body kept showing up for me, but I could tell it was stretched thin.

Stress ended the day at 72%, and I wasn’t surprised—I felt tense and overstimulated even though I wasn’t consciously anxious. My energy never climbed past 32%, and honestly, I felt that in my bones. The only thing holding strong all day was my health score, which stayed at 100%—a testament to the systems I’ve been building even while feeling worn out.

Last night I got just under 6 hours of sleep (5h 47m), starting after 3 AM. Even though I had decent REM (1h 36m) and deep sleep (1h 29m), I didn’t get enough total rest. That showed up in my HRV metrics—Apple Watch logged 55, and Welltory showed an HRV score of just 11%. My autonomic nervous system stayed in sympathetic dominance all day, with very little parasympathetic activity. Basically, my “fight or flight” switch was stuck on.

Still, my glucose was impressively steady. It started at 100 mg/dL in the morning, hovered in the 90s through midday, and finished at 94 mg/dL tonight. No scary dips, no reactive hypoglycemia. Even with stress, my blood sugar held its line. I’m proud of that. My 7-day pattern shows tight control with barely any spikes outside my 70–165 mg/dL range. That’s hard-earned stability.

Here’s the updated look at what I ate:

Nutrition Recap – May 24, 2025

I got 106g of protein—not bad, but still 46g short of my daily target. I need to be more consistent about front-loading protein, especially if I want sustained energy and better muscle recovery.

Carbs came in at 100g, which felt right for me—moderate and manageable. Sugar landed at 44g, staying under the 48g cap. But fiber was dismal—just 4g out of 21g. That’s something I absolutely need to correct. I can’t afford to neglect it, not when fiber plays such a key role in satiety, blood sugar control, and digestion.

Now, the fat. Oh boy. I clocked in 95g of total fat, which is 37g over goal, and 40g of that was saturated fat—nearly triple my recommended cap. That imbalance probably weighed me down today, both physically and metabolically.

Tomorrow’s priority:

• Hit my full protein target

• Get at least 15g of fiber

• Rein in saturated fat and opt for leaner choices

Here’s what I took today as part of my routine:

Supplement & Medication Stack – May 24, 2025:

• NP Thyroid

• Lopressor

• Triquetra L-methylfolate 7.5mg

• CataKor NAD+ precursors

• Triquetra GLP Activate

• 2 pieces Neuro Gum

• Happy Saffron

• (No Zepbound today—it’s a Friday-only medication)

Despite everything going on inside, I still held the line. My glucose was steady, my systems stayed resilient, and I didn’t spiral. But my nervous system is waving a white flag, and my body’s begging for sleep, nutrients, and less internal chaos.

So I’m honoring that tonight. Early bed, deep breathing, hydration, and no guilt for being tired.
