Week 1 Update

Summer Maxi
Date: 29.09.24

Weight: 89.85 Kg 🔻

The weight has been hovering around 90kg for the past week and is stable for the last three days around 89Kg which is around 750g of weigh loss in a week which is a good healthy amount of weight change so probably at the end of the challenge I would weight around 85Kg.

Food:

Completely avoided eating any packaged food for this week except a few Polo Mints. ;)  Been eating around 200-300g of Pan fried Breast Chicken most of the time. Purchased a new cast iron pan for the Chicken and Fish fry. Learning how to cook in this process as well. Been following a similar diet plan of eating my first meal at 2:30pm and dinner at 6:30pm, sometimes I have an Apple or Orange or both around 8:00pm but no food after that.

Exercise:

Only in the last couple of days I have started doing 30 Incline Pushups daily which I kind of like it and easy to do. Just takes a few minutes. I need to start incorporating Walking in my daily routine. I think I will start it from this week. For the pullups I need to find a place to do the Australian Row pull ups in my home using the pull up bar which I will setup today and start doing that. Also have to start Jump rope. I think I am taking my time to add exercises one by one.

Product:

It has been amazing building a product using Ai. The initial app is done around 60-70% the main functionality of the app is done. I did pivot from my Initial app idea. I just took one of the features of the main as this will not have any overhead cost and easy to get it done. Next I need to integrate with Apple Developer and integrate Payments and stuff. It should be done within the next two weeks. So that I can concentrate on marketing and bringing the revenue to app for the remaining days of the challenge. I am limited my the number of tokens I can use for Claude. Yesterday I had a costly mistake of using Claude's Opus Model when I was limited. Do not use Opus, Sonnet 3.5 is the best now and 3 is the second best and similar in cost as well. Attaching my screenshot of the API Usage.

Extra 13M tokens in and 500k token Out 🚀

In this process got to learn that handline Json files put too much load. The app is basically a Database wrapper. So did some research and learnt about SQL database. So I created a Sqlite Database for my data and I am using GRDB in iOS to load the data in the app. It is much easier in handling the data but it has it's own limitations as well. Easy to write a query and change the data fast and don't try to Vacuum the data after any major change. :)

Pro Tip for using Claude with TypingMind: Don't use the same chat for modifying the code, For every bug or feature you need to add create a new chat and attach the files to it so it starts from the start and doesn't need to read the whole history of chat which gobbles up a lot of Tokens. 

Everything has been moving in a great direction! Let's meet next week. One week at a time. :)
