🌀 Daily Health Check-In 6/7/25 100% Health, 63 Glucose: Why Wins & Warnings Can Coexist on This Journey

 Today started with sluggish energy and high stress, eased into productivity and connection, and then delivered an unexpected midday glucose crash. The big emotional win? Clearing out my storage unit and donating clothes that are now too big—a symbolic and real milestone in this journey. I ended up spending the afternoon with friends, which helped emotionally and physically reset.





Despite the energy challenges, I still managed to get a 30-minute walk, eat mindfully, and recover quickly from the glucose drop. I’ll chalk that up to keeping snacks on hand and knowing my body well enough to catch these things early.

📊 Snapshot from Welltory & Apple Watch:

  • Health: 100% (resilient across the board)

  • Stress: 66% (AM) → improved to 50% by evening

  • Energy: 39% (AM) → improved to 58% (PM)

  • Focus: 85% (sharp and usable all day)

  • HRV Score: 40%

  • Coherence: 64%

  • Nervous System: SNS: 44 / PSNS: 34

💡 Stress fell and energy climbed gradually after I moved my body and socialized. But I still had a 1:09 PM glucose dip to 63 mg/dL, likely due to low protein and activity. I fixed it fast with a Oui yogurt, which was the right call.

🛌 Sleep (June 5–6):

  • Sleep Duration: 6h 07m

  • Quality: 73%

  • Sleep Timing: 1:49 AM – 8:36 AM

  • Sleep Stages:

    • Deep: 1h 44m

    • REM: 1h 39m

    • Light: 2h 45m

    • Awake: 40m

Sleep wasn’t disastrous, but that bedtime was way too late. My energy definitely reflected that. Tomorrow: aim for lights out by 10:30.

🍽️ Final Nutrition Summary

Total Calories: 1,888
Net Calories: 1,652
Target: 1,650

Macros:

  • Protein: 134g (short by 31g)

  • Carbs: 177g (over by 35g)

  • Fat: 77g (over by 4g)

  • Fiber: 22g (goal met)

  • Sugar: 80g (over by 27g)

  • Sodium: 3,533mg (very high)

  • Potassium: 1,762mg (still low—needs attention)

  • Calcium: 156% DV

  • Iron: 44%

  • Vitamin A: 20%

  • Vitamin C: 44%

🥛 Macros were high overall today. I’ll adjust tomorrow with potassium-rich foods and lower sodium choices. The crash mid-day might’ve come from rapid digestion of earlier carbs without a strong enough protein anchor.

📉 Glucose Trend (FreeStyle Libre)

  • Low Glucose Alarm: 1:09 PM → 63 mg/dL

  • High: ~128 mg/dL

  • Daily Range: ~63–128 mg/dL

  • Evening Reading: 122 mg/dL (in range)

👟 The walk and social time helped, but I need to pair them with better carb-protein balance to avoid midday dips. The yogurt worked fast—lesson learned.

🔁 Recap

A rollercoaster day in terms of energy and blood sugar, but also a deeply affirming day of letting go—both of clothing that no longer fits and maybe a version of myself that I’ve finally outgrown. I felt supported, focused, and capable, even when my body threw me a curveball. Tomorrow, the plan is simple: clean up the sodium, keep potassium in range, and aim for earlier rest.

My Honest Review: Force Factor Hair Growth Accelerator Chews with Lustriva

Image
 If you’ve ever stood in the supplement aisle staring at a hundred different “hair growth” products, not knowing what actually works — I see you. I’ve been there. I’ve tried the oils, the scalp massages, the expensive shampoos… and while some things helped here and there, nothing really stuck. That changed when I discovered  Force Factor Hair Growth Accelerator Chews  — and yes, I’m officially a two-pack girl now. Why I Started Using Hair Growth Chews For me, it wasn’t about overnight results. I wanted something simple, consistent, and actually nourishing — not just for my hair, but for my overall wellness. These chews stood out because of the  Lustriva™ Complex , a blend designed to support thicker, stronger, and shinier hair over time. They’re soft chews (think: tasty little gummies), and you take two a day. Each pouch has 60, so that’s a full month’s supply. I ordered a two-pack from the jump because I caught a bundled deal — and I’m glad I did. More on that in a ...

🗓️ Saturday, June 29-Sun 30th, 2025 Running on Fumes, But Built to Last

Image
 I clocked in a fantastic night of sleep—9 hours and 28 minutes in bed with 8 hours and 21 minutes of solid rest. My sleep quality came in at 96%, with over 5 hours combined in REM and deep stages. That’s the kind of recovery sleep I wish I could bottle up and save for Mondays. Despite that great start, today felt like I was walking with a quiet weight on my back. By evening, my Welltory stress hit  79%  and my energy dipped to  28% , even though my health score stayed rock solid at  100%  all day. The stress spike seems to tie in with the emotional weight of heading back into that toxic work environment tomorrow. I can feel it in my body before I’ve even clocked in. My glucose stayed stable for most of the day, with just a moderate post-meal spike around dinner. No crashes, which is always a win in my book. Nutrition-wise, I hit  1,602 calories  out of my 1,650 goal. Macros were a bit off-balance: Protein:  86g (short 58g) Carbs:  174g ...

🧨 Friday, July 5 – Post-Fourth Reset & Breakthrough Check-In 🎇 END of the 10 month rollercoaster and “STALL"

Image
I've had losing phases over the last 10 months, but they were always short-lived, frustratingly inconsistent, and often followed by rebounds. The backstory matters: last September, my doctor had to lower my dose of tirzepatide from 12.5 mg to 7.5 mg—not because of blood sugar meds (I don’t take any), but due to repeated  reactive hypoglycemia  episodes. That’s a rare side effect, especially for someone who isn’t diabetic. We couldn’t find 10 mg at the time, so we dropped to 7.5—and it completely backfired. I gained, my inflammation returned, and I felt like I was trapped in my own body again. Eventually, I pushed to try 10 mg again. I couldn’t get the brand version, so I switched to a  compounded GLP-1/GIP mix through AMBLE , and things started to level out. But for months, the journey has been rocky. Even while eating right and staying active, progress felt elusive—mirroring the way things were before medication. The one major factor always working against me?  Slee...
