🎀Diary entry #002                                                                                                  19/08/2024

Today I decided to already make some changes to what I initially planned to do for my “level up”. The first thing is my diet and exercise routine. For my diet I want to try eating one meal a day. I decided this because I've been feeling so ‘saturated’ the past months… like i haven’t been eating healthy or sustainable at all and i can really notice the effect on my body. And yes this is also while i workout... I notice how bloated/ blown up I feel. This can be caused by water retention from too much sodium (which is usually in most junk i've been eating like instant noodles for example…). Now I could just start by eating healthy but I know from past experience that eating one meal a day or just less but healthy actually keeps me more full and energized for the day! It also helps me with digestion, it feels like that this is because my body has more time to ‘process’ before I eat again. The most important rule during this diet is that my meals are nutritious and sustainable! I’m going to try to have carbs, protein, fats and enough fiber during those meals. And if I still get hungry before or after my meal, I have decided to eat some fruit or nuts. I don’t really have a meal plan since i’m just going with what i’m craving at those days and cook something in the moment or what’s convenient… (might make a blog with recipes, most of them are pretty easy and school/ work friendly soooww 👀)  Another important rule is that I take my vitamins/minerals and other supplements every day! Because it is ofcourse hard to get your daily recommended intake through just one meal… But this is also why I'm planning to just follow for a week and not longer! Or if you want to keep doing this for longer I recommend doing at least one or two “cheat” days!  For exercise I'm going to quit the gym for a while… Instead, I'm going to consistently try to do 10k steps a day. This is because I don't want to over-exhaust my body, which can cause a lot of stress which in return will lead to weight gain or your body holding on to weight, along with some uncomfortable health situations…(been there, done that, no fun😀)  This is for me the biggest change in my plan.  Other than that there are a few posts i am thinking of doing hehe. This is my little list: easy, sustainable meals (as mentioned before) selfcare day/ recharge day (my way) make the most out of the last weeks of summer (might do this one soon) hobbies i want to pick (back) up+ a little progress diary when i start ^_^ That’s all I wanted to share for now!! Hopefully we can stay motivated together and inspire one another!!

Love, Sunny xx

🎀Diary entry #001                                                                                                    13/08/2024

This is my very first entry yayy! ^_^  I’m starting off excited since I've been wanting to start this for quite some time now. This is more meant to keep track of the progress I'm making, journal about certain moments and thoughts and at the same time keep me motivated during my process of discovering myself and becoming someone I can be happy living with. We are with ourselves every second of our lives, so even if certain people around us won't accept or be okay with the way we are (personality, style, etc.) we shouldn’t be part of them.   What am I starting with right now? I can say that I'm in the middle. If on one side there are ‘haters’ and on the other side there are ‘fans’, then I am somewhere in between them. It’s not that I despise myself, nor am I completely happy with who I am. I haven’t figured out much if this has to do with the way I look, habits or my day to day life.  Something I believe is that looks can be influenced by certain habits and the other way around as well. Like diet and exercise, hygiene routines, etc. And these habits also influence day to day life. This is why I don't have a specific focus on just my looks or just one habit. Basically, I hope to improve my overall life and get the most out of it.   My inspirations, who I look up to Wonyoungism, SongJia mindset, WizardLiz, TamKaur Idols; NingNing and Karina (Aespa), Meghan Thee Stallion, Jia, Wonyoung, Seonghwa, Yeosang There are certain things I want to start incorporating in my daily routine. These are habits I believe are necessary basics (in my life): Consistent hygiene routine; skincare, bodycare, haircare Focus on having a healthy lifestyle; diet, exercise, therapy Improve my spiritual path; prayer, meditation, journaling So I already have a workout routine I used to follow and have gotten back to as well as a diet. I’ve also been going to therapy for some time and gonna try to talk about that in future entries.  Incorporating these habits in my daily life: 1. Be consistent with my morning and nighttime skincare as well as my haircare and bodycare.  2. Workout 4-5x a week (this is what i know i am able to do and gives me enough rest days!)   3. Go for walks on rest days so i’ll stay active in a relaxed way. (i want to try 10k steps or just 30 mins is also fine)  4. Pray 2-3x a day (morning, afternoon, before bed)  5. Meditate right after waking up (MUST) and before bed 6. Try journaling everyday (that's what this blog is for 😛) I’m not focussed on growing a following, but I hope that people who stumble across my blog can be inspired and motivated and maybe we can be friends who support each other on a similar journey! ^_^

Love, Sunny
