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

 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 (over by 50g)

  • Fat: 46g (under by 18g)

  • Fiber: Not logged today (likely missing)

  • Sugar: 90g — a bit too high, probably from quick snacks trying to stabilize blood sugar early on

To bridge the gap, I had a Jocko protein shake with Lactaid milk in the afternoon, but I could’ve used a second one to help push my protein closer to goal. Walked for 45 minutes, just a gentle stroll, mostly for recovery.


💊 Supplement Stack

  • Taken: CataKor, Alpha Brain, Happy Saffron Plus, K2/D3, CoQ10, Hair Chews, Triquetra B Complex

  • Skipped: Multivitamin (forgot), Digestive Enzymes (alternate days), Neuro Gum (left at work)

Hydration was decent with about 80 oz of water.

My nervous system balance looked solid—coherence at 65% (average) and ANS activity split with SNS at 42, PSNS at 10. The low HRV score at 5% means my body’s trying to regulate through the stress load, and it needs a buffer.

Tomorrow I’ll lead with protein, reintroduce the multivitamin, and consider a second shake or lean meat-based lunch to help. I’ll also need to mentally prep to walk back into the OR without letting those personalities undo my recovery.

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 ...

🧨 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...
