Daily Check-in: April 9, 2024 š
Tuesday was an odd day for me. Everything went fine, work went well, but for some reason by the end of the day, I was super upset about things, which was not what I had hoped to feel by the end of the day. But the day itself wasn't bad.
š©· What I Accomplished:
listened to two podcast episodes in Spanish for passive input
typed up a detailed goals sheet
attended both classes for the day
worked an ~8 hour shift
studied chemistry
hit over 10k steps
began looking at how to fit exercise into my schedule/club pilates classes I could take
š©· Good Things That Happened:
my supervisor and I knocked out a large catering order on time
talked to my dad on the phone for a bit
went to my psyc class, which I typically struggle to do
Realized studying the material from chemistry was actually helping me retain the information
got semi invited to go out after work some day soon with some work friends
š©· What Could've Gone Better:
didn't get home until late cause work took forever
got weirdly emotional before falling asleep
super short zoom call with my boyfriend
did not study Spanish the way I wanted
was super tired all day
drank a coffee from a coffee shop on campus, and it messed up my stomach absolutely terribly (I need to stop buying coffee, my stomach can only handle the simple ones I make at home)
a co-worker was talking trash for no reason and was being super fake to my face, which was not fun because I thought him and I were cool with each other
š©· Stuff To Do Tomorrow:
write psyc notes from lecture
study chemistry some more
decide final decision on declaring a 2nd major
double check my class schedule for next semester ( I register for classes tomorrow!!)
study my Spanish tasks that I didn't do Tuesday
keep boosting my depop shop (woke up to my first sold item this morning!)
cook dinner after lab
yeah, there's probably more that happened on Tuesday. Both good and bad, but I have no idea what it would be. I was so tired when I got home that I just forgot everything. I've got some weird memory issues. here's to tomorrow being better, hopefully!

p.s - check out my depop shop, still uploading need listings as I can! š
š Song of The Day-
Le Sserafim - Blue Flame
I've seen a theme/trend in the songs I've been enjoying lately. This song is beautiful and catchy
Daily Check-in:
July 2nd, 2024 š
Hello! I'm backkkkk! Now that I'm finally doing stuff again, I figured I'd start my daily check ins again and keep myself motivated and accountable with doing productive stuff daily! no challenges, no pressure, just an understanding that something is better than nothing!
š©· What I Accomplished:
took a 2.5 hour nap in the morning (had an anxiety attack randomly that left ne absolutely exhausted but the nap was so nice)
reviewed a few Spanish lessons on Busuu
completed 2 new Spanish lessons on Busuu
completed 2 Korean Hangul lessons on Busuu
booked an Italki Spanish lesson for July 15th
booked an Italki trial lesson in Korean for July 24th (pushing myself to learn the alphabet and study as much as possible til then so I won't be an absolute absolute beginner, hopefully)
reached out to a tattoo/piercing shop about some piercings my friends and I want to maybe get while in Colorado
bought a margarita pizza from a little Italian pizza shop and it was DELICIOUS
journaled in the morning
did my night time skincare (I needed it, my face was dry and flaky)
drank ~40oz of water (definitely should've drank more)
reached out to an online health and fitness coach, so we'll see how that goes, if it goes anywhere
š What Could've Gone Better:
random anxiety attack stopped me from going to workout so I stayed in bed most of the day, exhausted
didn't get many steps in or do much in general
ate 4 out of the 6 slices of pizza (it was comforting, idk. it happens, so I won't beat myself up. saved those 2 slices for my roommates if she wants them!)
could've definitely spent less time on tiktok and more time studying the languages I'm trying to learn
might even broken my middle toe on my left foot after slamming it into the side of a bottom drawer that I didn't know was open
š Stuff For Tomorrow (July 3rd)
make all necessary payments (rent, new apartment, credit cards, etc)
study Spanish a bit (~1 hour or more)
study Korean Hangul a decent amount (~1 hour, or more, preferably)
try to workout or at least keep my steps up
do laundry
wash our towels (housekeeping here in seriously not the best)
find somewhere to buy Tylenol and tape for my (most likely) broken toe
try not to spend too much money eating out today, since I got paid
do not forget to take my medications!
morning journaling and night journaling
doing my skincare in the morning and at night
keeping up with my hygiene in general, like brushing teeth, shower exfoliation, Shaving, etc (kinds like having a self care maintenance day)
š Song of The Day: Girls Never Die - tripleS
this is my favorite song to listen to on the bus home from work at the moment
not much left to say, but today will definitely be a good day for me! I'll make sure of it

can anyone recommend some content creators that focus on leveling up, developing healthy habits and discipline, healthy financial habits, developing a better mindset, or like content about glowing up in all aspects of life?
especially any financial content creators that share tips on budgeting, saving, investing, and healthy spending habits.
but I'll accept any content creators from any platform that post about any of the mentioned topics, I'd really appreciate it!!
I want to make 2024 a better year for myself then 2023 was, so am looking to consume positive, healthy, leveling up content!
YouTube, Tumblr, Reddit, Insta, TikTok, any content creators/subreddits on these platforms would be highly highly appreciated!
thank you lovelies š©·
if I made an instagram account as like an extension of my tumblr, would anyone follow it? Iād post tips, routines, fave products, etc. it would have academic, fitness, health, lifestyle, girly content. Literally an extension of this blog but on insta.
Colorado Goals š
I've been in Colorado for 2 weeks, meaning I have 6 weeks left! Here are some of the goals I hope to achieve while here, now that I have a better understanding of my time and what activities I want to do out here!
consistent workout routine; minimum 3 days a week
minimum of 8k steps a day
morning and night gratitude journaling
morning and night skincare
use the hot tub once a week
go hiking at least once
start studying languages again (Spanish + Japanese)
cut back on my caffiene consumption, 1 cup a day maximum
try some new restaurants if financially possible
pay off rent and fees for upcoming move + current place I live back home
go to the hot springs (maybe....they kinda scare me)
maybe try a workout class in town (pilates, yoga, etc)
that's all I can think of for now! I will update thus list if anything pops up in my head for while I'm here! I'm only here until August 14th, and it's about to be July! How crazy!! I can't believe I've been here 2 weeks. It's seriously flown by. Honestly timento buckle down and do some new things!

reblog this post to remind the person you reblogged it from that theyāre valued and loved and seen
I'd love it if you guys can vote and help me stop being indecisive lol !! much love š©·š©·
So I am trying to decide if I should start incorporating fitness classes into my routine and I'm having some trouble making a couple of decisions! So I thought I'd turn to my beautiful community and get some help!
My options are:
start yoga at home and pilates at a studio
start pilates at home and join a yoga studio
do only pilates at a studio
do only yoga at a studio
join both a yoga studio and pilates studio
there's not a lot of places that offer both pilates and yoga in my town but I really want to diversify some of my workouts so I don't get bored and can meet all of my fitness goals too!
Let me know what you guys suggest and if you can, leave some comments with your experience with pilates or yoga studios! Please keep in mind I am a plus sized girly, so I'm a little anxious about group fitness but I think it'd be super beneficial!

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.
