Day 12 - 90 Day Challenge π
So, I'm going to be honest. Yesterday was a terribly rough day for me emotionally. I isolated myself in my room (my roommates had people over for a late Thanksgiving dinner), ordered way too much McDonald's (that I didn't even finish), and cried for a good 2 hours (me and my boyfriend were going through it). But, I figured it would still be a decent idea to post an update to my challenge and keep trying.
πββοΈ Physical Health
walked to work, walked home from work
walked over 10,000+ steps total
π§ Mental Health
nothing that I can remember
β€οΈ Emotional Health
cried, a lot, to release some pent up emotions
talked to my dad about how i was feeling (he always calls at the perfect time, he has a 6th sense for when I'm upset)
π Intellectual Health
again, nothing that I can remember. that just means I need to get on my grind later with that (6 page) assignment that's due today
π Adulting
showered after work
worked a 6 hour shift
deposited money into my bank account
recieved and put away some new gym clothes I got in the mail (so happy, everything I bought was so cute and just extremely perfect <3 amazon gym clothes for the win)
π₯° Self Love/Care
did my morning skincare
didn't force myself to do homework knowing how emotional I was
planned my workouts for this week (I'm going to start running again, but slowly building my way up because I am a bit on the heavy side so I don't want to overdo it and risk injury. I also still love lifting weights, which I'm going to keep doing 3 days a week <3)
It's rough dealing with life with mental illness, but I just remind myself that bad days don't make this a bad life. It's all about perspective for me. The more I look on the bright side, the longer I can stay in the light <3

Current Weekly Workout Routine/Split π
Iβve been doing a mixture of different kinds of YouTube workouts in my bedroom, but I have specific types of YouTube workouts that I do on specific days.
πHereβs my current split π:
πMonday - Abs/Pilates Abs
πTuesday - Lower Body/Lower Body Pilates
πWednesday - Cardio Dance/ HIIT
πThursday - Upper body + Core
πFriday - Yoga or Pilates
πSaturday - Pilates or Yoga
πSunday - Stretching
I always do some form of a warm up video before my workout and some form of cooldown afterward (except for yoga or stretching days). My goal is 30+ minutes of working out a day, not including my daily walks to work during the week. I pre plan my week of workouts every weekend so that way I can wake up in the morning and know what to expect. I also like to lay out my workout mat and clothes the night before. It helps eliminate the need to exert much willpower in the morning.
If you have any fitness YouTubers you like that do stuff like pilates, yoga, K-pop inspired workouts, or workouts for leaning out, losing weight, and toning up, please recommend them to me!
Some workout YouTubers Iβm already familiar with are Chloe Ting, Lily Sabri, Pamela Reif, Yoga with Adrienne, Move with Nicole, Shirlyn Kim, April Han, Vivian Yuan, Madfit, Boho Beautiful Yoga, Hinafit, and Mish Choi. Iβm open to any other recommendations!
Thank you!!
Winter Break 24' Goals
My winter break is quickly approaching as the fall semester is coming to an end. I will be getting time off work as well, due to the semester ending, so that gives me about ~5 weeks to basically do whatever I want! Which I am so excited about <3
Here are some goals I am going to accomplish over this long, much needed break:
learn + practice more crochet π§Ά(I can do a chain, but a single crochet is difficult for me right now)
workout at the gym 3-5x a week πββοΈ
begin running again πββοΈ (I'm taking a running class next semester, so I want to prepare myself for it)
study japanese 3-5 days a week + take 2-3 italki lessons πΈ (I'm also taking a Japanese class next semester so I want to know more than the basics)
study Spanish 2 days a week minimum π²π½ (another language I know a little bit of but want to get better at)
complete watching 2-4 unfinished anime π» series (I always stop with a few episodes to go, need to break that habit)
consistent self care + begin a few healthy, consistent habits π (meditation, journaling, skincare morning + night, stretching, etc)
visit my boyfriend β€οΈ (aiming to do so in early January!)
start drawing or at the very least, coloring, again βοΈ (very fun, very creative, very stress relieving, but I won't be mad if I don't hold myself to this)
meal prep 2x a week for lunches and dinners π₯
on that note, learn a couple new recipes for lunches and dinners! π
finish reading two books at minimum, three if I really work at it π (going to finish What Alice Forgot, then going to move on to Girl In Pieces and If He Had Been With Me [or No Longer Human])
I will truly begin these on December 13th, and begin my daily updates soon too. Will Reblog this around Jaunary 13th to see what I actually did!
what are your guys goals for the winter?

Mini Update & Check-in: September 24th, 2023 π
Hi my lovelies!
I haven't posted in a little over a week, a week and a halfish I think? I have been so busy with work, school, my mentorships, and studying Japanese all while being informed of a trip to see my boyfriend in about 2 weeks, trying to sleep more then 5 hours a night, and incorporating more self care into my routine. I've been a little spread thin.
I had about 5 crying breakdowns in the last 2.5 weeks due to stress and exhaustion and overwhelm, but after this week, everything should calm down and go back to normal (at least I hope?)
Here's some updates on my life:
I've been consistently studying Japanese on both duolingo and busuu, with the occasional use of renshuu as a tool. I created a study plan for using Genki I and have a list of goals for October that I will post by the end of the week! I actually bought a year of busuu premium cause I really like the app!
I have a presentation for my Food Fundamentals class due Tuesday by 2pm and its Sunday night and I haven't started because I'm so busy. But the threat of the dealine will push me into gear, so at the very least I know I'll get it done.
I get to go see my boyfriend in 2 weeks! His mom bought my flight tickets for there and back, and I get to see him for 4 days. I haven't seen him in 3 months in person, so I am incredibly excited! + it'll be a mini vacation from work and kinda from school, too, at least from my Monday and Tuesday classes.
I have been the most moody and irritable that I've been in a while due to my hormones being messed up (thank you, depo shot window for opening and reminding me to order my depo meds!), lack of sleep, overconsumption of caffiene, and a minor neglect of my mental health
I do see all the lovely things you guys send to my inbox, and I see everything I get tagged in. I apologize for not responding, I've been busy, and I honestly get so awkward with not knowing how to respond or what to say. But I am not ignoring you all, and I am so grateful for how kind and sweet you all have been. It makes my day every time I check my tumlr and see new things I've been sent. You all are so amazing and kind, and I am so very thankful for all the support and encouragement you guys send!
So that's just a little snippet of my life recently. I promise I will start updating a bit more regularly this week once things calm down. I miss posting my updates and my goals and sharing my thoughts with all of you. This blog has given me such a safe space to be my authentic self, and I'm so extremely grateful for this community and all 500+ of you guys!!
I think I'll post an update for Monday the 25th and Tuesday the 26th combined, and then I'll do each day following separately (that's my goal for now). I'm also going to be sharing my *tentstive* Japanese study schedule using Genki I textbook and workbook, my Japanese goals for the month of October, and I'm still working on that stationery review list as well!!
Thank you all!!! I love you guys so much π
Til next time lovelies!! π©·
I'm back? - An Update
Hey lovelies. It's been a while. Lots has happened in my life, and I don't know how consistent I'll be with posting but I figured it would be a good way to kind of motivate myself to get back to some of my habits and working towards some of my goals. I've been slowly trying to better myself, my life, my academics, all that good stuff, and maybe coming back here and posting will help me stay accountable? Who knows, but it's worth a shot.
π Todo List for Today (March 26, 2025)
take chapter 8 notes for health psychology
take chapter 9 notes for exercise physiology
read 1 chapter of Attached β οΈ (I read 3)
survive my night shift at work (2pm to 9pm)
night time skincare
Not an extensive list, as I've already crossed off some other items on my to-do list that I don't think need to be added because they're already done for the day. I'm feeling incredibly anxious right now, and I have no clue why, but hopefully taking my medication and maybe some meditation will help my anxiety lessen a little bit.
My todo list for tomorrow is TBD.
Til next time, lovelies π©·
For the ask game #6; What are your career goals?
My previous career goals were to be a Registered Dietitian, running my own facility for outpatient eating disorder treatment. I am someone who struggled with two types of ED's and I want to help people who are going through them too.
Right now, my goals have switched a bit, so I don't exactly know what my future holds, but I am still planning on working with ED recovery in a nutrition based setting. I have to get my masters to be a dietitian, and I don't know if I'll have the resources to do so. We shall see what the future holds!
I decided I want to either start with Japanese or Korean for self studying languages again. Help me out!!
I've self studied Japanese on and off for years but I consume more content in Korean on a daily basis.
Thank you lovelies <3
My Current Goals and Habits I wish to Achieve
Workout for 30+ min daily
Drink 100+ oz of water daily
Read 30+ min OR 10+ pages of a self help book daily
Skincare routine both morning and night
Guided journal both morning and night
Daily journaling once a day
Meditate for 5+ min daily
Make my bed every morning
Stretch for 5-10 min daily
Sleep at least 7+ hours a night
I currently am working full time this summer until university resumes classes in August, and I am worn out by the time I get home, but that is not going to stop me from achieving these things! I plan on utilizing my mornings before work the most since I know I'll be incredibly tired afterward.
