this is very inspirational! as someone with chronic health conditions myself, its nice to see someone else tracking their symptoms and not just being athletics focused (though that is important). thank you so much for sharing!
The nerdy graphs for health stuff is so relatable! I have some weird unexplained health stuff atm and tracking symptoms and how I feel is the only way I’m coping 😂 wishing you the best
As a nurse, I LOVE seeing your self-care and detailed health tracking. It is really important to know yourself and your health. You are doing all the right things, as evidenced by your recent mood and energy trackers! Just wanted to give you a kudos, and tell you to keep kicking ass! PS...I ordered an SI pocket planner, but I love the Papertess layouts you're showing off. Had it been available, I would have gotten it, and I still plan to get one when she releases the 2025. Take care of yourself, and have a great planner-shopping day!
@@valerierose1224 Thank you so much. That means a lot. I’m trying really hard to conquer all that’s wrong with me and this PaperTess planner is helping so much. I hope it works out for you, too, when you get one.
Love how you are using this cutie book! Keto is really great for so many things. I did it for 2.5 years and it was amazing. I need to get back to it because it's so amazing for inflammation and joint pain is one of my biggest issues. Love me some egg roll bowl 😋 sounds like you are on a good track. 👏
@@moniques.journal.corner Thank you. It really is a game changer. I’ve never felt better than the first time I did keto. Just trying to acclimate this go round. There is a lot more wrong with me this time. Let me know if you start again. We can support each other if you want.
@@chapter48creative I've struggled getting back to it because I live with someone who doesn't want to be that strict. So right now I have him agreeing to protein, fruits, and veggies for the most part. It might make it easier for me to shift that way by starting here with him. However I'm here for all the support no matter what!!
@@moniques.journal.corner Baby steps. It’s hard when your partner isn’t on board. Mine is super supportive (but doesn’t live here) and I still find him looking around the kitchen for snacks that don’t exist and then eating old croutons right out of the bag like they’re chips. 😂
@@chapter48creative lol I laughed way too hard at that... mainly because I've done that! 🤣 Yes baby steps! I need to work on my own self control to get me there as well.
I love the graph for your eating window and emergency snack. I'm Type 1 and find a lot of value in intermittent fasting, but I get so frustrated when a low throws off my time. I feel like that whole day of my keeping a fast is ruined. I've tried several ways of tracking, but that emergency snack always threw me off. Your setup makes me realize it doesn’t have to be an all-or-nothing "I kept to my fasting time or failed," but instead, it can just be a snapshot of my eating windows. Simple as that. Thank you so much for the inspiration, and I wish you the best with your health. You're doing great!
@@espressoyourself08 Thank you so much and I really hope it helped. We have to take care of ourselves and if it breaks a fast then it’s ok. We try again the next day and benefit from however long we did fast. I’m probably going to have to go have another emergency snack tonight, too. And that’s alright. Tomorrow I’m stopping a med and seeing if that keeps me from such frequent lows. 🫶🏻
Your graphs are absolutely a work of art! 😍 I am sorry you are going through this, my only experience with blood sugar is with my brother and mainly when he had cancer and it was wacky all over the place. He didn’t have a fancy alarm thingy, you are talking to his not so fancy alarm thingy. I would check it every 2 hours at night and give him whatever the readout called for which didn’t seem to make a difference because of the chemo drugs zinging through his veins. It was so tiring so I understand. Well and I did a whole lot of cooking for him too, I researched this like the nerd that I am and finally came up with things he loved to eat, one being a pizza made out of cheese and other stuff. I mean not to get all graphic with it but I told him, you eat all of this cheese and you will not go to the bathroom for a week! He was like, problem for another day, hand over that pizza or I will harm you. Geez! 😂 Weight loss is, however, is the bane of my existence. How did you learn to fast? As for the Sterling Ink drama and decision I know I am getting a B6. My problem is the passport or pocket and I think we saw the same thing on FB? Someone said get the Pocket not the passport? Or something? 🤔Why do I come in your comments and just spew whatever is on my mind, who knows but congratulations. 😂 So I was all ready for Hobonichi at 5 pm my time, nothing was available, I am in a panic attack, and finally realize I had the wrong time. 😑 So I get to repeat all of that at 9 pm my time? 😬 listen if I can find a way to make something more dramatic when it doesn’t need to be, best believe I will find a way!! 😂 💕
@@terrilabeth hahaha. You crack me up. I’m sorry about your brother. I won’t get started on how angry American medicine makes me and how all of the nutritional information we were given throughout our lives has only made us sicker. On to more fun things… Pretty sure we won’t know what I get from Hobonichi tonight until I click “take my money”.
Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed this video. I had a conversation with my dad about how you were tracking your sugar levels; lots of insight! I am thinking I’d like to did into my wellness as well. I’m thinking this is an A6.
I’m all about the graphs…not nerdy at all. It’s actually a very “cool chick” vibe. If you don’t agree…think of it like you are collecting data, to make informed decisions. It’s you taking control of the situation. Very cool indeed.
I just had to pause @17:06 to tell you I get it…my husband is type 1 and his sugar would crash to the 40-50 range quite frequently and he would wake me up slurring and couldn’t function…it’s a very scary feeling - he now wears a Dexcom G7 and we both get reading on our phones. I have mine set to go off if he goes below 80 (that’s on the low end “for him”…anyway…back to the video
It is scary. Before I had a version of the sensor that would alert me, I'd just sleep through it and not know until I physically scanned the sensor in the morning and saw it had dropped. One time it dropped below the sensors capacity to read it...which means it was below 40...and I was oblivious. Last night it went down to 45 before my emergency snack had a chance to kick in. If stopping a med this morning doesn't stop this...I'm clearly going to have to start keeping orange juice or something on hand again. I'm type 2, so I guess at least I have the option to start coming off medications as this happens. I'm sorry that you're both battling all of this.
Thank you for sharing and I just subscribed. My steps look a lot like yours so you’re not alone. I found a channel here on YT called walk at home and it’s a great channel. I usually do about 5 mins at a time, but after 15 mins, you’ve completed a mile walk.
Oh my gosh I do keto and fasting too. Please please do more of these videos on how you use the planner to track all your stuff. Nobody has this content 😊
Hello. It's a word now! :) I seem to always be at some sort of baseline anxiety level. That's why it'll probably never go below a 1. Beyond that, I just try to be really mindful throughout the day of stress levels and how it's hitting the anxiety. For me, my anxiety lives in my chest. Higher anxiety feels like an elephant is sat upon me. I catch myself starting to do these deep breaths and blowing it out to alleviate my anxiety (it's not even a conscious thing). If that's happening then I'm clearly not at a 1. If it's happening a lot...I start to assess not only what level it might be at, but why and how to chill the eff out. I hope that helps. I know anxiety presents itself differently in everyone.
