June 18 – Metrics Blog: From Burnout to Recovery Mode 💥➡️🌿

 Woke up this morning knowing something was off—and my metrics confirmed it. At 7:47 AM, stress was already at 59% 😬, energy was dragging at 35% 🪫, and although my health resilience was 100% 🟢, my HRV was only 24% 📉, which explained the low stamina. I chalked it up to cumulative system strain, probably from trying to push through earlier in the week without giving myself enough recovery time.

By 1:44 PM, things had taken a sharper turn. My stress spiked to 97% 🔥, energy dropped to 12% ⚠️, and coherence took a hit at 35% 🤯. HRV tanked at 1% 🧨, and my nervous system was stuck in full sympathetic overdrive 🏃‍♀️💨. Brain fog kicked in, and I knew right away that decision-making and mental focus were compromised. Welltory even warned me to postpone anything important—and it wasn’t wrong.

But the twist? Despite that crash, my health resilience stayed rock solid at 100% 🧬 all day. That’s not nothing. That means my body can recover—it’s just been running on fumes.

Come nighttime, I rallied. 🕯️💪 




By 11:28 PM, stress had fallen to 36% 🧘‍♀️, energy had rebounded to 53% ⚡, and HRV soared to 71% 🌈—a full reset on my nervous system balance. My PSNS (rest-and-digest) finally kicked in, taking over from the SNS drive earlier in the day. I felt the shift. Even my focus registered 70% 🧠, which was a nice surprise. This tells me my stack, food, and maybe even my light evening helped pivot my recovery.

🔍 Takeaway:
This was the kind of day where you start on empty, break mid-shift, but recover hard by bedtime. I didn’t do anything fancy—just respected the slowdown, kept nutrition clean 🥚🥬, stayed hydrated 💧, and didn’t fight the crash. The numbers don’t lie: rest is productive.

 I don’t usually write about what happens  after  dinner… but let’s just say yesterday deserved a post. I’m on  week 147 of tirzepatide  (shoutout to my Friday night injection crew), and despite having my routine mostly dialed in, I got hit hard with  brick wall  constipation this week. No warning.

🌀 Sunday Check-In: Rainy Walks, Superhero Dreams & Nervous System Wins

Image
  📅 Date:  June 15, 2025 📍 Location:  Central New Jersey 🌧️ Weather:  Cool, rainy, peaceful 🧠 Mood:  Grounded, calm, and fully content ☀️ Morning Reflection I spent the day in Central Jersey, where I stay about half the week. The weather was moody—cool and rainy—but that didn’t stop me from getting out for  two walks , including a peaceful loop through  Colonial Park , which always resets me mentally. Last night’s sleep was solid, but the  dreams were something else . I’m in  week 147 on Tirzepatide , and I’ve definitely noticed a trend with increasingly vivid REM cycles. Last night’s were full-on  superhero mode —not bad dreams, just chaotic, detailed, and fast-paced. My subconscious was on a mission. 📊 Morning vs. Evening Metrics What started as a lower-energy, high-stress morning completely reversed by early evening. My body flipped into full parasympathetic recovery, and the numbers backed it up: I didn’t nap, overdo it, or stre...
