Weekly health score 10/23/17–10/29/17

Another solid week.

Weekly health score 10/23/17–10/29/17: 98% (133/135 points)

Gamifying my health tracking keeps me motivated. Currently, I set weekly goals in each of the following: fruits and veggies, sleep, steps, and strength training sets. Then, I track each metric and give myself points for each result. At the end of the week, I total the points to calculate my weekly health score. Here’s how I did in each goal this week:

1. Fruits and veggies: 33/28 servings

This was a good week for my micros. I averaged nearly 5 servings per day, which is one of the best weeks I’ve had so far this year. On Wednesday, I ate 8 servings which was a record high day thanks in part to my mom (she was visiting us and helped cook some extra veggies for dinner).

2. Sleep: 50.1/52.5 hours

The one thing that prevented me from achieving another perfect score of 100% this week was my sleep. It was worse than last week. I just had too many days when I slept less than 7 hours, including last night, which wasn’t really my fault. I went to bed by 10pm, but couldn’t fall asleep for a few hours. Sometimes that’s just how it goes.

3. Steps: 64,670/59,500 steps

I beat my step goal by over 5,000 steps this week. I didn’t have any ridiculously high step days, but I was consistent throughout the week. I ran twice and played 2 soccer games, so I was very active on cardio. This week, I’m going to try to go a little easy on steps during the week because my half marathon is on Sunday.

4. Sets: 31/25 sets

I followed up last week’s good training week with another one. I went to the gym three times this week and hit some PRs on key lifts. No complaints here! Again, with the big race this weekend, I’ll probably do a little less lifting to keep wear and tear to a minimum until next week.
