December 9th, 2022 Health Report (draft)
📊 Tracking Weight, Sleep, Gym (time), Swim, Biking, Hikes, Meditation, and Tennis in an Airtable. All of this information is tracked via apps on my Apple Watch or phone and I have to manually move it to the Airtable, but then it’s an easier to see all the data. (not yet viewable by others, coming soon!)
So, what do I see?
- Increase in swimming and weights means less cycling.
- 4 and a half hours of weights is a lot and makes me tired.
- Weight is pretty consistent, which means diet is preventing weight loss?
- Sleep is steady, but I catch up on the weekends.
- Meditation is low (not built into any other habits).
I’m a little too obsessed with weight, so I did a DEXA scan.

🧠 Mental Health: I realized this week that I’m frustrated and a little depressed. I feel like all I did was work this week and I found myself very frustrated by some aspects of my job. Not just frustrated, but angry at times. I was able to talk to some friends about this and get some perspective over the weekend, but I do have a lot my self esteem wrapped up in my job.
Having been deep in “startup life” before, I know there will be crunch times, but working 60+ hours a week limits my ability to exercise, socialize, read and just generally be a good and happy person. I do not buy in to the “grind” culture that is sold as a path to success in work. Working over 40 hours is a sign that something is wrong.
