Update To My Posts/Blog & Daily Check Ins π
So, when I first started this blog about two months ago, I had planned on using it as a way to stay accountable towards things like weight loss and my health journey. That was in the summer, when I had the time to solely focus on that as my top priority. Now, with school having started, my weeks, even my days are so much busier now. I am currently working over 30+ hours a week at my job, taking on 17 credit hours at my university, joining a club on campus, and am now under the mentorship of two separate registered dieticianβs all while self studying two languages, keeping up with a self care routine, socializing with friends, doing homework outside of class time, and beginning a workout routine again as I recover from a semi serious back injury.
All that being said, I would really like to incorporate a little bit from every aspect of my life into this tumblr blog. I am still keeping my pink, girly, kpop aesthetic, because I absolutely adore it, but I am going to add on some different topics of interest into my daily check ins. I will continue with the what I eat in a day, habits I accomplished, any workouts or movement I did, and a song of the day, but I will also add in productive/school goals I achieved (such as how long I studied, how much schoolwork I finished, language learning stuff, etc), and just overall stuff about my daily life as a semi high achieving university student!
I will be posting a check in for today later tonight! It will include what I ate, what I did personal wise, school/productive stuff I did, a song of the day, and just an overall update on what I did today! I just need to get my format of how I want to write out everything figured out.
Til next time lovelies! π©·π€
Daily Check-in: April 24, 2024 π
Wednesday started out so rough, I had a really bad stress breakdown from the pressure I was putting on myself for the exam I have today (Thursday), but luckily my dad was able to calm me down over the phone and my boyfriend motivated me and encouraged me. I don't feel as stressed out anymore, I know that I know the material and I'll do great! (it's a chemistry exam)
π©· What I Accomplished:
studied chemistry for a good bit
completed 3 chemistry homework assignments
scheduled a make-up quiz for my psyc class
did the Total Body Pilates video from Blogilates
did the 11 minute Wake Up Yoga from Yoga with Adriene
did my morning skincare and journaling
actually, just did my entire morning routine and felt great about it
shipped off shorts I sold on depop
went to chemistry lecture to review for the exam
went to my virtual appointment with a registered dietitian and set some goals for the next 2 weeks
decided to join a step challenge with my health insurance company to win points (they have some cool things in their points shop, plus extra steps during the day is good for my health!)
washed my laundry
made a brain dump list for the remainder of the week
π Good Things That Happened:
I really like the dietitian I met with and have another appointment with her in 2 weeks
I really enjoyed using my new 40oz Simple Modern insulated tumbler cup
didn't let my stress breakdown make me go home, very proud of myself for sticking to my plans
went to sleep early
sold another item on depop!
I felt very reassured that I know the content that is going to be on my upcoming exam
the guy who makes sushi at my campus food court made sushi for me and held it until I went to get it so no one would buy it, i could've cried it was so nice of him
I drank coffee on campus and it didn't hurt my stomach for once!
π What Could've Gone Better:
need to put less pressure on myself
had some issues with food after my dietitian appointment (sometimes thinking too much about food can be triggering for me, tbh, but my goals are nutrient based which is helpful!!)
started crying before I went to bed because I was feeling oddly emotional (I think I'm starting my period soon)
had to turn down a work shift because I had too much school stuff and that appointment (I need the money so bad tho)
did not drink near enough water
need to be more patient and gentle with myself
also need to really figure out what's going on with my priorities, I keep struggling to do the things I say I'm going to do which is difficult for me to deal with sometimes
need to remember progress over perfection, 50% is always better then doing 0% of something
π Stuff For Thursday
clean my room
listen to a podcast episode
maybe do some more laundry
make a grocery list
clean my bathroom
therapy today over video call
reschedule a morning appointment
chemistry exam tonight
try to ship off the shirt I sold on depop
do some more planning and organizing for my life
that's all for now! Thursdays gonna be good. My exam is gonna go great! I have confidence in myself, and my knowledge and I know I've got this!

π Song of The Day: Baddie by IVE
Gotta remind myself of this sometimes <3
April 7th, 2025 π
My brain did not let me study or do much this weekend and it was seriously bugging me, but I'm trying not to beat myself up about it because it was that time of month and lately it has been messing with me hard whenever it's that time of month. Plus, work was really tiring this weekend and I've been a little stressed out about some things.
What I Accomplished (April 6th) π
completed and passed a quiz for one of my online classes
worked 9am to 3pm
took a 40 min nap on the couch
worked on my study guide for health psychology for ~10min
chatted with my roommates for a while
Not the most productive day yesterday, but it was not a bad day. I was super tired and anxious yesterday, but I had a decent day regardless.
Todo Today (April 7) β¨οΈ
study for exercise physiology exam π
make study quizlet for health psych π»
work on study guide for health psych βοΈ
work 230pm to ~930pm βοΈ
double check on classes before registering for next semester π«£
skincare before work πΏ
skincare after work π§΄
make to do list for tomorrow π‘
Not an extensive list, but just stuff I need to get done. My health psych exam is Thursday and I believe my exercise physiology exam opens on Friday. I have a couple of small projects coming due next week, and some assignments that need completing later this week. It's lock in time now that the semester is almost over.

π Summer Stuff π
I had no idea what to title this, but this is a comprehensive list of my goals, habits, and "dailies" that I am going to accomplish this summer (before I head to Colorado in mid june for 8 weeks of work!)
π©· Overall Goals/Habits
Daily movement - morning workout AND/OR a hot girl walk (5k to 10k steps a day is my goal for daily steps)
Spanish study - 20+ minutes a day, have a couple italki lessons (already have one booked!)
Daily reading - 30+ minutes daily, nonfiction and/or fiction
Consistent morning routine - hydration, movement, journaling, skincare, etc
Wake up at the same time everyday - debating between 5 and 6am right now (I'm a morning person!)
Try some new things - watch new TV shows, maybe self learn some kpop choreo, dabble in creative writing, try new classes, etc
Consistent night routine - unwind, read, shower/skincare, journal, etc
Go to sleep at same time every night: 10pm or 11pm
Incorporate more wellness into my days - stretching, meditation, yoga/pilates, fruit smoothies
Keep up with all necessary appointments - doctors, therapist, etc
Maintain a healthy diet - high nutrient (fruit and veggie), high ish protein, moderate carbs, moderate fats, lots of water, limited caffiene, highly limited added sugar (loosely track food intake to be more mindful of my choices)
Consistent cleaning and reset routines
Daily affirmations and work on Law of Attraction/Law of Vibration to help manifest my dream life and cultivate my new identity to live my healthier, happier, desired life <3
I am so excited. Something about this summer feels different. This summer feels like the one for me, like I'm seriously going to have my "that girl" summer that I've been hoping for. Lots of rest, recovery, and renewal.

Almost forgot to update for yesterday. Had the worst mental breakdown ever and proceeded to have a terrible nightmarish nap that scared the heck out of me and somehow today was so much better.

Today was really good, so I'm looking forward to updating on that tonigjt/tomorrow morning. I'm also super excited to get my nails done and a haircut on Thursday! Plus I gotta go shopping for some new jeans, a new shirt or two to wear to Christmas Eve dinner with my boyfriend at his dad's house. May just cave in and buy him and I matching Christmas sweaters to be "that couple" for fun. Speaking of, I can't wait to see my man on Saturday <333 I haven't seen him since early October, so getting to spend a week and 2 holidays with him will be absolutely amazing. Hopefully his mom likes the little gifts I got her.

Daily Check-in: Dec 16th 2024 π
Made the beginning of a check in for Sunday, saved it to drafts, and now I can't remember a single thing I did on Sunday besides cry from anxiety. Yesterday was good tho, despite honestly not doing much. Being on break is always so difficult for me. I begin to lack energy, motivation, and discipline, and it leaves me feeling very negative about myself. Hopefully I can turn that around soon.
π©· What I Accomplished
studied Japanese in my Genki I workbook for ~22min
cooked chicken for dinner
took a nap
worked in my 2025 artist of life workbook journal to set up for next year
saved some photos to print for my 2025 vision board + set some goals
zoom called my boyfriend
showered + did my hair oiling/hair care routine
morning journal
π What Could've Gone Better
laid in bed for honestly most of the day
over ate a bit
didn't work out
didn't do my skincare at all
didn't journal at night
had to reschedule breakfast with my dad due to anxiety
skipped an online appointment
overall felt really bad about how I spent my day
π ToDo Today (Tuesday, 17th)
Japanese + Spanish study tasks from yesterday and today
email therapist about rescheduling Friday's appointment to earlier this week
call physical therapy and cancel Friday's appointment (I'm getting my nails done on Friday and so is one of my roommates so that's why I gotta move stuff around on Friday)
apply for 2 more internships for the summer
morning + night skincare (use a face mask tonight)
morning + night journaling
eat more mindfully
play with my cat a little bit
more work in the artist of life workbook
YouTube pilates workouts
wash makeup brushes
Here's to hoping I follow through with this list today. I'm tired of not keeping promises to myself.
