friday reset routine

I have a friday reset, not sunday, not saturday but friday this is because saturday and sunday are the busiest days of the week for me. I’m currently at home with a lot of time to myself so I mainly spend my week trying to complete tasks and achieve personal goals with the time I have my resets on fridays and this is my routine. I do some things in between all routines

at the end of every week

001 , clean and organize my space

laundry || wipe down the bedside cupboard || wipe down bed surfaces || sweep room

002 , physical routine

take a shower || skincare

003 , notion reset

- update workout for the week // update cleaning // update habit tracker // update dreams and goals // fitness tracker // steps tracker // journal // meal plan // pomodoro // gameplan // 12-week-year // wellness tracker // skincare tracker // self-care page

004 , mental routine

get a good book or movie + dinner // Bible study x bed time

after 2 weeks

001 , clean and organize my space

laundry || wipe down the bedside cupboard || wipe down bed surfaces || clean bathroom sink and toilet || change duvet and sheets || clean bathroom and kitchen floor || wash water bottle || replace towels

002 , physical routine

brush teeth || matt hair || shampoo hair || condition hair || shave || wash out conditioner || bar soap || body scrub || body wash || take a shower || skincare: cleanser

- out of shower routine moisturise skin // skincare: cleanser, toner, mositoriser and lip balm || oil hair and go to salon

003 , notion reset

- update workout for the week // update cleaning // update habit tracker // update dreams and goals // fitness tracker // steps tracker // journal // meal plan // pomodoro // gameplan // 12-week-year // wellness tracker // skincare tracker // self-care page

fall is here. It's time to lock in. weight loss edition.

intro:

after taking a miniature break I have finally decided to track my weight loss journey here, to keep me motivated and to track my progress.

there are approximately 3 months left in the year (without september) and in that time I want to focus on my weight loss and lock in. I will take a break from creating notion templates and focus on skills and hobbies.

why 3 months? simply because that's what's left in this year and also because most people start seeing results after 3 months.

details:

so I started this challenge last week and here are a few things I've achieved last week. I worked out for the whole week. I hit 10k steps daily from tuesday didn't do so well on monday. I also completed my daily workout cycle for the most part.

✿ my main goal is losing weight really just reaching my weight goal which is 42kg - p.s I'm short

✿ I will try my best to update daily and I also have a physical journal that I will update every night before bed

here are my current stats

𝑮𝒐𝒂𝒍𝒔

( 🍨 ) 63𝒌𝒈 Current weight: 59.1kg

( ) 57𝒌𝒈

( ) 52𝒌𝒈

( ) 49𝒌𝒈

( ) 46𝒌𝒈

( ) 42𝒌𝒈 gw

( ) 40𝒌𝒈 ugw

i do think the stakes are not in my favour and I might not reach my goal at the end of the year but at least I can try.

so I will be uploading my workouts weekly, at the beginning of every week as to keep myself motivated to do them and for as many that would like to go on this journey with me. at the end of those 3 months, I will update this blog post.

✿ This is the habits i want to achieve each day also I plan to have a set eating time between 12pm and 8pm everyday. i will write about what I eat I'm also not going to be really dieting or cutting out foods just minimizing my portions

habit tracking:

maintain calorie deficit of 1200 hit 10k steps 7+ hrs of sleep 2l of water 30mins+ of movement journal progress movement cycle [3/3] eat between 12 pm and 8 pm

✿ : my days will mainly be filled up with reading (adrinette fics), language learning, crocheting, organizing, blogging, Bible study, watching(might continue Gilmore Girls) and more

decided to add workouts to my daily updates instead

i will start updating tomorrow

✿ I wasn't able to work out on Monday and missed tuesdays workout, so instead of two workout videos for today, it's 4 as I'm splitting monday and tuesdays workout I to the rest of the week. today was very mid and not very focused. I didn't totally complete today's workout (didn't fo 1 pilates stretch video) today is meant to be a rest day in the program i'm doing and today's workouts are optional I did the first one but not the pilates stretch (there wasn't time I had to get ready for church).

Learning to love yourself 𝜗𝜚˚⋆

Celebrate yourself. Every accomplishment deserves to be acknowledged, no matter how big or small. Stop putting yourself down by thinking that you don't deserve to celebrate your achievements just because others have accomplished "greater things." Also, there is so much fun in hyping small wins; call your girlfriend, bake a cake, and enjoy yourself!!

Invest time in things that you love. Doing what makes you happy is essential for your mental health. It's so important to pursue one's small and simple pleasures without the intention of turning them into profit!!

Boundaries and relationships. Learn to say no, define and set boundaries, question your current relationships and friendships, and distance yourself from people who make you feel unloved or worthless.

Allow yourself to grow. Let go of the notion that you are undeserving of growth. Acknowledge the past for what it is, learn from it, and grow from it.

Refelct. Getting to know yourself deeply is key to self-love; journaling is a great way to reflect. Ask yourself questions, question your habits, observe how you respond in certain situations, etc...

Trust yourself and your intuition. Listen to yourself, and don't dismiss the small cues that your inner voice gives you!!

Care for yourself. It is not selfish to look after yourself. Start exercising, eat balanced and healthy, stay hydrated, educate yourself, read complex literature, consume media mindfully, prioritise your sleep and routines, care for your skin and hair...

Be patient. Self-love takes time; you must slowly unpack and unlearn past habits, confront uncomfortable thoughts and memories, and gain a deep understanding of yourself. Give yourself time and approach this as a journey to enjoy. <3

You guys ALWAYS ask about self-love and confidence, sooo I hope this can be a little helpful to some of you and as always, please feel free to share your own suggestions and tips in the comments!! ♡

love ya ･:*₊‧౨ৎ

me if u even care
