Daily Check-in: April 17, 2024 π
today was a decent day up until the end, when I got upset and emotional over some things and ended up crying again. I swear, I've cried the last 6 out of 7 nights, and I'm so tired of it. here's to hoping things finally get better soon because this emotional stuff is seriously affecting my productivity, motivation, and discipline.

went to chem lecture

passed my lab report and pre class assignment
finished my chem lab super fast

π Song of The Day -
Le Sserafim - Antifragile
this has been a long time fave of mine
Daily Check-in: April 18, 2024 π
Thursday was a good day. I did not do even half of what I had planned, but that's okay. I just need to get back on track with life again, now that things are balancing back out for me. I'm also really looking into seriously taking better care of myself, so that's fun! I really want to feel my best again.

went to my psyc appointment + therapy appointment in person
made chicken tostadas for dinner
ordered groceries

π©· Good Things That Happened:
my therapy session went really good
the food I ate was super yummy
I tricked myself into drinking more water so I didn't end up all dehydrated
it was overall a very good, restful day
have an interview for a 2nd job on Monday!!!
π Stuff For Friday:
morning routine
night routine
work a ~5.5 hour shift
do my 6.5 hour class

I don't ever plan much on Fridays because I have such a long day that I know I won't realistically get much done. Doesn't mean I'm not going to try tho!

Mini Check In August 19, 2023 π
So I haven't gotten tested because it's the weekend for me, but based on my current symptoms, there's a good chance I have the vid-19. Which is really not fun, but at least I've been dealing with it a bit. I left work early on Friday and am not able to work today thru Monday, which could potentially cost me my job, but fingers crossed.
I am currently looking to apply for a different job on my university campus, and I already know I'll get the job after I apply (my way of manifesting, lol). It'll be nice to do something a little different than my current job, for sure.
I'm going to try to get back to my regularly scheduled posts and routines as soon as I find myself in better health. I feel bad not posting, but I've also been resting a ton to try and heal faster. But yeah, I currently feel like -12/10 in gems of physical health.
Fingers crossed, I'm better by Tuesday! I have my first cooking class on Tuesday evening, so hopefully I am better and can attend because the professor for that class is amazing!
Also, thank you guys for 150+ followers! Just a few weeks ago, when I started taking my blog seriously, I only had 7 followers so having over 150 now is incredible! I appreciate all of you so much <333
That's all for today! Til next time, lovelies!! π©·
Daily Check-in: July 18th, 2024 π

π©· What I Accomplished
morning journal
showered at night
worked an 8.5 hour shift
did my weekly check in with my health coach
hung out with my roommate after work

π What Could've Gone Better
too much anxiety, so I decided not to workout or study Korean for the day because I was stressing out about things
ate so much when I got off work (my roommate bought us food)
need to drink more water ughhh
π Stuff For Friday (July 19th)
work an 8.5 hour morning shift
study Korean Hangul a bit
complete my lower body workout per health coach plan
try to eat better
drink lots of water
video call with boyfriend if possible
Not going to overwhlem myself with stuff since I'll have to do it all once I'm off work and I'm typically tired after work so hopefully all goes well!
π Song of The Day: Cheeky Icy Thang - STAYC
this song is a banger. it's so so good I love so much of STAYC's discography

Daily Check-in - July 28, 2023 (Late) π
I forgot to post my check-in last night!! I fell asleep so early, I was so tired. I got home from work around 5pm last night, and I think I fell asleep around 7pm? Yesterday also was not a good day day for. My supervisor yelled at me in front of everyone for asking a question about work on Saturday, and it's now Saturday morning, and I have no answer. I decided not to go to work today because I feel like my.body can't really handle if right now, so it works out either way.
π©· What I Ate Today:
Breakfast - One slice of toast with mashed avocado, paprik, a fried egg, and a side of one chopped up gala apple.
Lunch - A small serving of spaghetti with meat marinara sauce, grated parmesean cheese, some broccoli, a babybel, and half a brownie that my co worker gave me.
Dinner - Fried potato slices with ketchup I regret this, but today's a new day and a chance to make new choices
Other - I had 2 cups of coffee with French vanilla creamer
Water ~ 41oz
π©· Workout - Full Body Pilates
This one was nice and easy and I really enjoyed it ! I actually wish it was longer! 9.4/10
This one was really good, but it was way more advanced than I was hoping it would be, so I struggled a bit with some of the movements. Not a bad workout at all! 8.6/10
π©· Habits I Accomplished Today
Made my bed
Morning workout
Morning Skincare
Morning guided journal
I fell asleep so fast after work that I didn't even have time to do anything. I'm not very happy about that but I guess my body just needed the rest!
π©· Song of the Day: Calm Down - Rema ft Selena Gomez
This song keeps me level-headed when it comes to situations at work or with my boyfriend, and just in general, I feel like this is a soothing song.
That's all for the 28th, lovelies! I am so sorry that I've been so inconsistent with my goals. Work has been killing me, and I still have to do this for another two weeks before the university begins again, and I can go back to my regular job and regular schedule. I'm just hanging in there until then!
Until next time, lovelies!!
Daily Check-in September 7th, 2023 π
Today was...not the most productive day for me if I'm being honest. When I'm using my Ipad to video call my boyfriend, I can't take notes like I want to, so I end up feeling like I'm behind on my homework. I'm genuinely thinking about buying a second Ipad to keep my personal life and academic life separate. I have a 2nd Ipad, but it's with my boyfriend, 1000+ miles away. My university sells one online for 300$ USD so I might buy it when I get paid next week.
π©· What I Ate Today -
Breakfast - leftover burritos with taco bell Diablo sauce
Lunch - spicy ramen with shredded fiesta blend cheese
Dinner - McDonald's
Snacks - one mint choco chip yasso bar, two cups of coffee with creamer
Not my healthiest eating day but I have been incredibly stressed so I turned to easy, greasy comfort food though all its done is upset my stomach. Tomorrow will be better.
π©· Personal Habits/Goals I Achieved -
nightly skincare routine
studied Japanese for 10ish minutes
took out my bedroom trash
made a workout plan for the week
made a goal setting plan for working out
got in touch with one of my two assigned registered dietitian mentors
got my three week grown acrylics soaked off professionally
I'm hoping to implement the workout routine tomorrow, but I want to take it slow ish because I'm still recovering from a back injury and whiplash from last week so fingers crossed I don't irritate the injury! Also, I'm super excited to be a dietitian mentee. The one dietitian I'm in contact with currently is absolutely the sweetest!
π©· Academic Achievements -
finished my Fitness For Health and Sport module 3 notes
posted my discussion post and one classmate response for the same course
completed and passed the module quiz for the same class
completed and passed my Food Fundamentals Chapter 5 Quiz
planned for the next few upcoming days
My job has me scheduled for ~35 hours Friday thru Monday, so I am going to be so tired this weekend, but I need the money because I have rent to pay, I want to buy a Genki 1 & 2 Textbook and Workbook + Answer key & hiragana/sentence chart (and some other resources), I want some more stationary, and I need to buy more groceries soon. I am also planning to buy another Ipad, and add some language app subscriptions to my arsenal of language resources for my lazy days.
π©· Song of the Day - TT Japanese vr by Twice
I love that there are so many Japanese versions of kpop songs that I absolutely love, so this way I can passively listen to the language while enjoying music! There's also a ton of J-pop songs I'm currently in love with. Some of my favorite j-pop artists are liSa, Kenshi Yonezu, YOASOBI, Fuji Kaze, Suda Masaki, Ado, etc.
I did not workout today, I did not do morning skincare, and I did not make my bed. I am planning on getting back on track tomorrow. I appreciate this platform and my followers who help me want to stay on track. I appreciate all 300+ of you <3
Til next time, lovelies π©·

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.

Daily Check-in: April 9, 2024 π
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.
π©· 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
π©· 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
π©· 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
π©· 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! π
π 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
Colorado Goals π
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!
