🎀 Goals for May 🎀

Well, I'm two days *late* but it's the beginning of a new month and I figured, why not set a couple of goals for this month? My spring semester ends next Friday, the 10th, so I want to have some things to focus on for this month before I travel to Colorado in June for work <3

🩷 May Goals 🩷

have 1-3 more meeting with my italki teacher

study Spanish for some time every day

get daily movement (either 10k steps or 20+ minutes of a workout, low impact preferably [i love at home mat pilates])

read 10 pages of a book daily

keep up with my accountability buddies (if they still want to!)

maintain a consistent morning and night routine (journaling, skincare, etc)

prepare for my work trip (suitcase, plane ticket, buy my necessities, etc)

start modifying my current food intake (I don't like the word diet) due to a new health issue I discovered with my doctor

not too many goals, not too stressful. I'm going to habit track some of this as well to help keep me motivated, and hopefully continue working with my accountability buddies to keep me on track this summer! here's to another beautiful month of life 💕

til next time lovelies 🩷

I want to challenge myself and do like a week or a month long challenge, but I fear sometimes life may be too unpredictable, which always throws me off. I want to set a routine, i want to accomplish things, and I've been feeling so much guilt for my lack of routines, my lack of productivity, and my lack of effort in the cultivation of my own life. Does anyone have any advice or something motivating for moments like these, where you want to achieve and work towards something yet you wonder if it's at all achievable? I'm in desperate need of some motivation, tips, advice on how to go about things. I feel so thrown off recently. I want to feel like myself again.

Hi everyone!

I've decided to start this blog to keep myself accountable as I continue along on my health journey. This will include working on my mental, physical, and emotional health!

Here are some things about me!

I go by Rose, and I use she/her pronouns

I'm in my very early 20s and a juinor at my university

I am studying Human Nutrition and Dietetics, with a minor in Exercise Science and another minor in Psychology

I am an avid Kpop stan, especially for gg's like Ive, Twice, Blackpink, New Jeans, (G)-Idle, Itzy, NMIXX, etc

Some of my biases include Lisa, Soyeon, Wonyoung, Yuna, Jennie Kim, Sullyoon, Yunjin, etc

I love the pink pilates princess, wonyoungism, it girl energy, and hope to better myself through embracing those values and lifestyles.

I am really hoping that this blog will keep me both accountable and successful in my health efforts

I will be posting daily updates including what I eat/consume daily (without calories or macros mentioned), my daily YouTube workouts that I've completed, weekly or monthly weigh ins, and my daily routines, habits, motivations, and so on.

This is not solely about weight loss but an overall improvement in my health and lifestyle. I will include posts about my goals and habits, current skincare routine, morning routines, night routines, favorite self-help books and tips, my current workout routines and tips, favorite meals, my self care weekend routine, favorite self care/fitness/lifestyle products, and things similar to all of those.

My Current Stats:

Goal Weight: 140 - 160 lbs

Exercise level: Intermediate (I've been a runner, a weight lifter, and I've done many YouTube workouts including yoga, pilates, chloe ting, and so on. )

Current Workout Plan: 30+ min of YouTube workouts a day, including yoga, pilates, dance, hiit, and body weight workouts.

Reasons for this journey: I want to deepen my self-love, strengthen my confidence, lose some weight, and develop habits that will help me to become the best version of myself on a daily basis.

Thank you for joining me on this journey, and I'll start my daily update later today!

Other - Two cups of iced coffee with French vanilla creamer

Life Update After a Few Days: October 18th, 2023 🎀

I’ve been a little busy with school, work, resting, and starting my workout routine back up, so here’s a little update!

I’m getting a tattoo soon! I know the aesthetic of my blog is pink and girly and coquette and I love everything that comes with the aesthetic and the lifestyle but I have an affinity for gothic style/spooky tattoos, so I’m getting a decent sized spider tattoo on my right thigh and I’m super excited! This is the first big ish sized tattoo besides the two small ones I have, and it’s the first tattoo appointment I’ve ever made so I’m really excited. A little anxious, especially for the shading portion of it, but I’m looking forward to how good it’s going to look when it’s finished and how much more confident it’s going to make me!

I’ve started working out at the gym again! My current schedule is three days of weightlifting (pull day, leg day, push day), and two days of just cardio. It feels so nice both mentally and physically to be taking care of myself like this again. I even bought some new workout shorts and gym clothes and I’m feeling better than ever! I’m focusing on improving my mental health right now and working out is doing wonders for me!

I’m working so much right now, but it’s worth it because I need the money for rent, tattoos, gym stuff, groceries, and whatever other necessities and wants pop up. I’m pulling doubles most Saturdays and it’s a little tiresome and energy draining but I’m managing pretty well. I won’t pull doubles every Saturday tho because that drives me straight into burnout and I’m trying to avoid that.

I hit 31 days on Duolingo and I’m at 28 days on Busuu, super proud of myself for keeping up with those two goals for now! I’m still working through the first two lessons of Genki and I’m still using the Kanji app but my studying has been a little bit more spread out because of my busy schedule. I’m trying to learn how to better balance multiple things without hyperfixating on just one and forgetting about everything else. I’ve noticed I tend to do that and that’s not the most productive thing for me.

I think I mentioned in a previous post that I spent a lot of money on stuff from Amazon (and Ulta) and most of it is here already besides the last couple Amazon items coming in today! I love the workout clothes I bought and the fitness/health tracker planner I bought is really interesting. I also got my language tracking bullet journal stuff in the mail so I am super looking forward to starting that up soon. Again, I noticed I tend to hyperfixate on one thing at a time but right now I’m trying to balance all my interests and things I need to do. My current “balance breakup” is: fitness/nutrition, Japanese language study, school/classes and academic success, work/making money, self care (sleep, skincare, reading, journaling, etc), boyfriend time, appointments, and chores/cleaning/housework. Sounds like a lot but there’s 24 hours in a day and 7 days in a week. Not everything has to be done in one day and as long as I manage my time efficiently, then I’ll be successful. I also try to take into account my energy levels, daily tasks, possible “curveballs”, and my current physical and mental/emotional well being. Flexibility is a must in my life but I do like having routines and things to stick to, plan and schedule wise.

I’ve been working on some posts ideas for this blog so it’s not just daily updates and stuff, but actual tips, advice, and my current routines and schedules too, to maybe help motivate and inspire you guys! I have some things in mind currently, so hopefully I can find the time to type them up and post them!

Thank you guys for 850+ followers! I never thought my blog could grow like this and I’m super happy it has! This community has given me such a safe and comforting place where I can just be myself without worry. I appreciate all of you so much!! I hope all of you have amazing days, amazing sleep, amazing skin, amazing grades, and that life is going great for all of you!

that’s pretty much all I have to update you on for now. I will be posting a Daily Check In tonight about how today went as well, to help me get back on track with posting!

til next time, lovelies 🩷🤍
