My Sunday log replaced the sourcing chatter I used to save

2026-10-07 09:59

For a while, every time someone mentioned a place to get a compound, I saved it in a note. Then I realized I had fourteen names and zero confidence. So I deleted the note and built a two-column Sunday check-in: weekly average weight and a 1-5 score for sleep, appetite, and queasiness. I have kept it for nine weeks.

My weekly average is down 5.8 pounds, but the bigger change is seeing that my rough evenings usually follow short sleep, not whichever thread I read last. I am not looking for a list of sites; I am trying to make calmer decisions with my clinician.

If you have been at this longer, what helped you separate useful information from noise?

Cafe owner here—the pastry cse is my final boss. Love this log idea.

love the two-column setup. The thing that made mine useful was adding a third data point: waist at the navel, same morning, plus whether I hit my protein floor and got 7+ hours.

Scale average can stall for 2–3 weeks while waist drops and lifts hold, especially lifting 4x. Nine weeks is enough to see trends, not just noise.

Do you log anything performance-wise, like a top set or rep PR? That’s what keeps me from overreacting when the weekly average flattens.

Also curious if your queasiness score ever clusters with low sleep or low protein—mine does.

I love that you traded fourteen maybes for a calm Sunday ritual.

This resonates. I keep a similar Sunday page, but I add a one-line context note at the bottom: late work dinners, travel, or a poor sleep stretch.

It has stopped me from treating a single odd week as a trend. Curious whether your 1–5 queasiness score tends to follow your sleep score or your appetite score more closely?

I am still learning which signal to trust when they disagree.

one thing that made my sunday page actually useful was scoring the whole week instead of just the morning i fill it in. i jot a 1-5 on a sticky note each night, then sunday gets the average.

turns out my "bad" weeks were mostly two late raid nights dragging everything down, and the soda swap only read as a real pattern once i could see it sitting next to those. do you score sunday as a snapshot or as the week in review?

also curious whether you track anything like caffeine after 6pm, cause that one quietly wrecked my sleep column for moths lol

For what it's worth, cafe owner here — the pastry tray is the villain in my Sunday notes too. Love that calm ritual.

Nine weeks is enough to stop over-reading single weeks. I’d plot a 3-week rolling average alongside the weekly mean; my weekly numbers swung ±1.2 lb from sodium alone, while the rolling line actually showed slope.

Also: when do you timestamp the 1–5 scores? I moved mine to same time each Sunday and my queasiness scores got less noisy by about a point.

Just pattern hygiene, nothing clinical.

Curious how you calculate that weekly average — all seven daily weights, or just Sunday morning? I tried Sunday-only for a month and it bounced around with sodium/late dinners, while a 7-day mean smoothed it out.

Also, do you have written anchors for the 1–5 scores? My appetite ratings drifted until I defined 1 as “barely noticed” and 5 as “constant background noise.” Not trying to overengineer it
