8/29

Had a super productive day yesterday, so today things are moving a tad slower

Decided to do this in a break to take my mind off the courses

1/100 days of productivity

And sometimes I think, maybe life is not so bad

Hi, I had a maybe silly question, I’m a guy, but I find the that girl/clean girl aesthetic very appealing, as I struggle with executive functioning and self care as I have ADHD and autism. Unfortunately, most subcultures geared towards men that focus on similar things to these goals also have a misogynistic edge to them. I was wondering if you knew if there was similar subculture or hashtag that I would be welcome in? Is there a clean boy/that boy or gender neutral aesthetic? I’m a bit worried about intruding on a woman-centered space since so many other spaces cater to men.

hi there!

I personally don’t know of any hashtag or subculture that caters to the “that boy/clean boy” aesthetic, but I am hoping anyone who’s sees this can maybe reblog or comment and help us find something like that for you! i will say, there is no harm in identifying with or borrowing from the that girl/clean girl aesthetic if you find ways to incorporate it into your life! I believe the values of these aesthetics are useful for anyone regardless of gender! i do understand wanting to find that community that you can mesh with that has the same aesthetic and values, tho.

if anyone knows of a hashtag or somewhere he can find his space in the that boy, clean boy aesthetic, please comment! If you don’t know of anything, please reblog so we can find that community for him!

So this morning during the discussion of a new lesson in math, our math teacher suddenly got a piece of paper and drew a dot on it and raised it so the whole class could see it

He asks us "Do you see this point I drew on this plane?" Then goes (this isn't word by word since he spoke it in Waray) "The rest of the empty space in this plane that isn't filled with points are all of the achievements and good things you've ever done in your whole life,"

He points to the dot on the paper "and this particular point, the one that is emphasized among all the ones that you can't see, is the mistake that people magnify about you"

"Why do people have to magnify this point? Why do many have to ignore all the others, all the others that aren't emphasized on this paper? No matter how many good deeds you did or how many achievements you've ever made, there will always be this one point that overshadows the rest of it that people will focus on."

Then he puts down the paper and says "So? What is the moral of this? You shouldn't have people who magnify the mistakes you made, but people who support you instead."

And then he proceeds to dismiss the class for recess after that. Just w h e w

I meant to post updates for yesterday and today but of course, the universe just had to send me into a depressive episode right as I was feeling good about working on myself.

I am going to focus on establishing a productive and healthy morning routine for now and be gentle with myself when it comes to what I manage to accomplish in the evenings after an 8 hour work day. I will still have my goals for the evenings, but sometimes I have to be flexible with my energy and that's okay.

I'm going to continue with working on myself and emulating the lifestyle I wish to achieve. I believe in myself and my abilities. Not everyday is going to be a great or even a good day, but regardless, I will be proud of the efforts I make.

This is a journey, a marathon, and I want to enjoy all the daily things and little wins that I can manage given my energy and situations that may arise.

Til tomorrow my lovelies!

Daily Check-in - July 28, 2023 (Late) 🎀

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.

🩷 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

🩷 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

🩷 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!

🩷 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 - July 26 2023 🎀

I am so exhausted right now. This heat and my job are making me worn out, but I need the 5 I need to push through these next few days. I woke up late this morning, so I didn't have much for my morning routine besides making my bed and a cup of coffee. I got off work today and have been on the verge of sleep ever since, so my night routine was also incomplete tonight. I apologize for the inconsistencies in my habits these first few days. I'm just trying to get a hang of my work days and my routines. Finding a balance is difficult but necessary right now. I got this though, I believe in myself!!

🩷 What I Ate Today:

Breakfast - One slice of toast with mashed avocado, a sprinkle of paprika, a fried egg on 5 a side of watermelon. Of course, I had my usual morning cup of coffee!

Lunch - A small serving of spaghetti with marinara, grated parmesean cheese, a small bag of grapes given to me by a friend, and one babybel cheese.

Dinner - Ten boiled chicken potstickers with some potsticker sauce and three babybel cheeses.

Other - I drank one bottle of water containing a dissolved electrolyte tablet to rehydrate while at work, and had a second cup of coffee after work

Snacks - a quesadilla on a low carb tortilla

It was not the best day for me food wise, but the exhaustion is getting me to the point where I'm trying to eat to gain some energy, but it's only working against me right now. I think I'm going to eat yogurt for lunch tomorrow since I'll get off work early due to a weekly therapy appointment.

🩷 Workout - INCOMPLETE

Today was supposed to be a fun kpop dance cardio morning but due to waking up late and the constant and persistent fatigue, that did not happen. I will get back on track tomorrow with my scheduled workout routine.

🩷 Habits I Completed Today:

I made my bed today, and that is about it for the goals I wanted to achieve. Some days are going to be harder than others, and I expect that, so I am not going to beat myself up over one bad day. I was only capable of existing today, and sometimes existing is all we need to do until the next day comes.

🩷 Song of The Day: I Am - Baby Tate ft. Flo Milli

Thos song (and a lot of water) is the only thing that got me through work today. For me this is my ultimate manifestation song. I love the lyrics the music, the meaning. This is a new daily morning song for me!

Today was a bit underwhelming, but as I said before, all I was able to do was exist today. My energy was not there. The brain fog was intense, and even as I type this, I am fighting the urge to fall asleep. Tomorrow will be a better day for me. I found two meditation videos for morning and night that I plan to incorporate, and I will continue with my journey as planned, adapting to the situations I face as they come up.

Also, my skincare came in!! I'm so excited!!!

Thank you, lovelies!!! I believe in myself and I believe in you all! Let continue on the path to our higher selves, in whatever way that is for us, and continue to be compassionate and flexible with our constantly changing circumstances!

Til next time!!!

My Current Goals and Habits I wish to Achieve

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.

The collage image shown is not my own work! It was taken from pinterest!! Will be using my own images here soon!!

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:

Current Weight: 237 lbs

Goal Weight: 140 - 160 lbs

Height: 5'3

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!

The picture collage included was retrieved from Pinterest!! It is not my own creation or work, but I will be producing my own images as of soon!!

once you stop fantasizing about that ideal version of yourself and start working towards becoming that person by setting your alarm clock earlier and actually going to the gym and actually volunteering at places and actually eating healthier and not procrastinating and working just a little bit harder you’ll realize that it was so easy all along. becoming your ideal self will only ever exist in your mind until you make the decision to work towards becoming that person. get up!! get going!! it’s now or never!! there is no light at the end of the tunnel!! get that flashlight and pave your own path bitch bc no one else is going to do it for u!!

Procrastinating makes me feel really icky, but I can’t help myself. I always wait until the final moment to do something or study for something and then am always rushing, thus I’m always stressed out. This is the way I deal with procrastination. What works for me might or might not work for you, and that’s okay.

Make a list of every single thing you know you have to get done. This doesn’t have to be limited to a certain time, if you know your university applications are due in two months, put this down too! Also include the smaller tasks you may have ignored like changing your sheets or tidying up your room.

Put some sort of symbol next to tasks you want to accomplish first. These can be assignments due soon, or anything you want to get done quick. I usually use exclamation points and for ones with looming deadlines, I put multiple exclamation points.

Assign an estimated duration to each task, ranging from five minutes to two hours, see how much you can realistically get done today.

After making that list, you may have a rush of energy to start checking things off, so start with something that’s high priority and also has a longer time duration. Work on this for at least half an hour, or at most an hour and a half.

Try not to open Netflix or YouTube on this break. Use this time to get something to eat, you can also use this time to finish those small tasks you wrote out, or play with a pet! If you open any addictive apps, you’re probably going to have problems coming back to the tasks.

As soon as your alarm signifies the end of your break, come straight back and attempt a different task now. If you were to do the same task, you might get bored. Work on this task and follow the above mentioned techniques.

After feeling like you’ve accomplished a decent amount, you can reward yourself something. I usually reward myself an episode of Brooklyn Nine Nine or a face mask!

While doing the tasks, keep checking them off, it’s extremely satisfying and once every single task is complete, you’ll feel so good about yourself.

When at least three things have been checked off, you can take a bigger break. This can last anywhere between fifteen minutes to half an hour. During this break, you can use any of the apps previously banned.

Try to remind yourself why you’re studying. Is it because you want to get into a specific university? Is it because you want to make your parents proud? Is it because you want to prove yourself to haters? Whatever the reason is, channel the emotion attached to it and get back to studying.

Just know that no matter what happens, your grades do not define you. You are not just a number or letter on a sheet of paper, you’re a beautiful human being and you can do anything you want to do.

January 9 2018: 2/100 My mom surprised me with a note and a gift card when I got home because I got straight A’s last semester. I’ve always been unable to really focus on school because of my dysphoria and anxiety and this year my mental health had improved so much since I started transitioning :) Although I’m proud of my achievement, remember that your grades don’t define your intelligence or work ethic. Strive to do your best and always take care of yourself ❤❤❤

I told the moon buried behind the dark clouds that "It's okay. Soon those dark clouds will pass by and evryone will be able to see how brightly you can shine."

Then, I realized those are the words i need the most and i supposed to say them to myself first.

Don't worry dearself soon your struggles and worries will be gone just like the dark clouds and we'll be happy and bright again 🙂

I know i fucked up. I terribly fucked up my exam. But if I can still believe that everything will be fine and i'll do what wanna do is, it's only because of that 3-lettered word. BTS.

Any encouraging words please 😕
