Day 26: 90 Day Challenge π
Yesterday (Monday) was my 21st birthday and I honestly actually did nothing. I ordered myself food, revieved flowers from my boyfriend, and stayed in bed all day. I didn't do any skincare, I was in sweatpants all day, and I actually cried for an hour in the morning because i typically don't like my birthday and tend to get emotional every year.
Not much to really talk about, so consider this my day 26 update.
I will update on today either tonight or tomorrow.

I am looking for specific pilates videos that you guys enjoy to give me some new things to add to my YouTube playlist! What are some videos that didnβt make you breaks a sweat? Videos where you broke the biggest sweat? Easiest? Hardest? Favorite? Least favorite? Please share as your girl is always looking for things to spice up her workout routine! I just ordered three lb dumbbells, a small pilates ball, and resistance bands so videos involving these are welcome as well!!
thanks lovelies π©·
Did not do these yesterday as I did indeed stay for a double shift at my job, so these are my todo for when I get home from work today, 9/29/24!
To Do Today 9/28/24
I was supposed to work a long double shift today at my normal job and then a kinda side job task that involves talking to a ton of people and being out late at night. I've decided I'm going to tell my bosses I can't do it, because the anxiety I've felt about doing it has made me thrown up already π
so here's the stuff I am going to do today:
pre lab 24 chemistry
pre lab 25 chemistry
chemistry lecture quiz
catch up on chem lecture notes
catch up on psyc lecture notes
catch up on accounting lecture notes
complete other intro to business assignments
study japanese
study for TEAS exam
It sounds like a lot, but honestly, it should not take me all night to do all these things so I'll be fine, as long as I get then done!
see you in the update later, lovelies π©·
Day 21 - 90 Day Challenge π

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!!
help a girlie out!!!
what are your guys thoughts on learning multiple languages at one time? I am nearing A2 level in Spanish, and want to add back on Japanese and eventually Korean, Italian, Madarin, etc. Right now however, I want to add on Japanese, Iβm at least thinking about it. What are your thoughts on two languages at a time?
** I did self study Japanese for around two/three years before switching to only focusing on Spanish. So Iβd be relearning the basics and moving on from there. I own the Genki I and Genki II textbooks and workbooks currently.
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?
