Favourite apps of 2024 so far

Vocabulary - I’ve added this as a widget on my home screen. Great way to expand my vocab. (Paid)

Orai- great way to practice communication. I love their little freestyle button which comes up with random topics and I often test myself by giving an impromptu “speech” on that question. (Paid)

Mental Maths - I’ve been playing this for years and it’s a great way to sharpen your math skills. (Free)

Sweat - I began my fitness journey with Kayla Itsines years ago so it’s great to come back to her. I’m going the PWR workouts and I love them. (Paid)

News apps - Financial Times and the Economist are two subscription services I’d 100% pay for, year on year.

From one tired and overwhelmed human to another: we got this ✨

Packing all day and then doing a short + low impact Kayla Itsines workout and a chill yoga flow. It will help my old lady body be stuck on a plane for 7-8 hours tomorrow with less back pain to follow 😅

Began my journey to lose 10 pounds yesterday.

My supplements finally came in. I’m doing a combo of collagen, weight management and probiotic fibre (these are three separate powders).

I’m working out twice a day. I saw @csuitebitches post on the Sweat app by Kayla Itsines and I do like it thus far. I walk for 30 mins post work.

I’ve given myself 3 months to lose the 10.

While I am not changing my own rule that I don't have "banned" faceclaims, because it still mostly doesn't matter to me, there are some that I am less inclined to write against because either I write them or they are used by someone who has made them pretty set in stone for me as their character. I will add this to my rules, please just be aware of it!

Different anon but can you share some of these eloquent lifters” ? :0 I gave up lifting since I couldn’t keep up counting since I was too focused on proper form but wanna hear what wisdom they got to say - maybe it’ll help with my problem

i just used that phrase cos theres probably others who can describe the mind muscle connection better than me 🥲 so i can't think of anyone specifically 🥲

i don't follow fitness accounts anymore but 2 that helped my routines are em donkers(great lifting advice) and kayla itsines(free pdfs of her hiit workouts are out there and ive found them 2 be fun and challenging). i think theyre both pretty positive and inspiring but are still very much Influencers lol.

but id love 2 help if u i can! do u mean u have trouble counting your reps while maintaining good form?

Hi!

Love your blog and was inspired to start working out to get the body and health I want but somehow the link in the model workout post does not work for me. Do you mind reposting the link to the videos (or maybe there is an updated version)? Thx

Oopsie, the link to the Reddit thread may have been removed then. I personally don’t use that workout anymore, and I use the Kayla Itsines’ Sweat app (if that helps), but there’s lots of YouTubers too who have good content out there. Caroline Girvan is one of my faves.

Surat terbuka buat kamu yang berusia 20an

Ketika memasuki 20an.

Kamu bukanlah seseorang yang rapi dengan balutan jas dan dasi. Kamu bukan First Class Honours dari Universitas tingkat ketiga di Inggris. Kamu juga bukan pengguna bahasa filsafah ataupun quotes kuno dalam kehidupan.

Kamu adalah Calibri 11 pada jam 07:00 pagi di jalanan M.H. Thamrin. Kamu adalah penggila Comic Sans yang sering membaca di ruangan kantor ditemani oleh sisa cangkir kopi dari kemarin, yang kadang kamu tinggal karena membaca comic sans membuatmu lupa membuangnya.

Kamu adalah seseorang yang selalu melupakan istirahat makan siang, selalu ketinggalan jika ada reuni keluarga ataupun acara berkumpul lainya. Makan malam sendirian entah itu di luar ataupun di dapur telah menjadi kebiasaan. Kamu adalah pekerja yang pulang pergi diantar oleh mobil yang dicicil oleh orang tuamu, yang terkadang kamu lupa akan itu.

Kamu memang mampu menyewa apartment dua kamar dengan fasilitas yang nyaman, kasur yang setia menunggumu pulang, kompor yang menunggu dijamah dan balkon yang menantimu untuk menikmati menara kembar dari ketinggian. Tapi sayang kamu meninggalkanya sepanjang hari.

Kamu akan melampiaskan perjuanganmu Rp5,000,000 selama sebulan yang tertulis rapi di slip gaji dengan menghirup Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Rp60,000. Setelah itu kamu akan menggunakan Lintas Raya Terpadu Jakarta 06:30 pada hari Rabu malam karena kelas Fitness akan dimulai setengah jam lagi dan Starbucks Caramel Macchiato memiliki 510 kalori.

Kamu akan sesekali membaca majalah Elite Daily. Kamu juga akan langsung membeli bodycon meskipun hanya kamu lihat sekilas. Karena Zalora mengatakan kamu harus memilikinya, strategi pemasaran yang ciamik memang.

Kamu akan mencari jus detoks yang dingin dan segar pada minggu berikutnya dan kamu akan sangat mengagumi Kayla Itsines. Kamu akan menghabiskan kurang lebih satu jam naik sepeda stasioner ketika ngegym, namun bebarengan dengan itu pikiranmu telah berkelana ke tempat-tempat impian. Kamu hanya bisa bertanya-tanya sampai kapan aku kesana ya ? Hingga tiket promo Air Asia datang menghampiri.

Memasuki usia 24 tahun.

Kamu sudah benar benar dewasa dan mulai tidak berharap banyak dengan kenangan masalalu. Kamu telah meninggalkan kursi kecil berwarna coklat yang disusun rapi dibangku sekolah dasar. Paman Mat Kool masih menunggu pukul 13:05 untuk membunyikan bel pulang, tapi dia tidak mengenalimu lagi.

Kamu akan menggeliatkan badan diatas kursi yang tidak terlalu nyaman di ruang rapat lantai ke-35. Kamu akan memberi kenyamanan dan perhatian lebih pada tulang belakang mu dengan melakukan gerakan ringan 16 kali tetapi mereka tidak akan melihatmu. Mereka tidak bisa mendengar mu.

Kamu mulai tidak mengerti angka dan grafik yang diproyeksikan didepan layar ketika rapat. Kamu akan berenang di materi abu-abu mencari kata yang tepat untuk mengisi surat pengunduran diri mu, namun sepertinya pena yang kau genggam tidak memiliki keberanian untuk itu.

Kamu tenggelam dalam pikiranmu sendiri dan membiarkan ide-ide mu musnah begitu saja. Setiap hari pasti ada lebih dari satu email yang harus dibalas, satu rapat lagi yang harus diharidi, dan satu orang lagi yang harus dipuaskan. Pada intinya, Meskipun kehidupanmu tampak menyenangkan dan memeperoleh banyak tanda cinta (love=like) dari instagram. Sejatinya kehidupan bagimu membosankan.

Jari jarimu akan lelah menari untuk men-tap for your page di laman TikTok mu. Kamu adalah seorang eksekutif muda yeng jam terbangnya tinggi dan memakai Daniel Wellington (Jam tangan). Kamu adalah politikus yang memilih untuk tidak memilih pada pemilihan terakhir. Kamu adalah seorang analisis lingkungan yang makan dengan kotak stryrofoam sebagai pengganti piring.

Kamu membaca dan berbagi artikel dari berbagai sumber yang professional, namun tidak pernah membela pelayan yang di marahi bosnya di restoran kelas atas hanya untuk kesalahan kecil. Kamu tidak menahan pintu untuk orang dibelakangmu semasa ditempat umum. Namun kamu percaya bahwa “motivated attitude” dan “proficiency in Microsoft word” akan membukakan pintu sukses untuk mu.

Ketika kamu berusia 28 tahun.

Kamu bukan tokoh utama dalam dongeng yang di jodohkan dengan seseorang yang sempurna, bukan juga menemukan pasangan dari “Tinder”. Kamu adalah tanda centang double berwarna biru di “WhatsApp” yang dibaca 7 jam yang lalu.

Kamu suka nongkrong dengan gaya kasual setelan cowok ganteng (celana jeans dan T-Shirt keren), ditemani Heineken dan Malboro Lights pada malam jumat di tempat favorit. Dan semuanya berakhir pada undangan pernikahan yang tidak terbaca di laman social media, kamu tinggalkan begitu saja.

Kamu adalah lambang dari generasi saat ini lahir dan diberi makan dengan dongeng tentang “How you can do anything you want” dan “no one can dictate what you chosee to do”, kamu akan berjuang melawan rasa terikat dan menggantinya dengan kebebasan. Dalam dunia Times New Roman. Kamu lebih menyukai 12-point, tebal, dan kadang-kadang dimiringkan.
