So my exams ended today, hurrah! :)

That also means now I have more time to update this blog again (big yay), and to concentrate on eating right and getting fit (bigger yay)! I’ve officially completed my second year in the University and that makes me feel so old haha.

I have big plans (weight loss included) this summer and I truly hope to be able to achieve them. Sure, this summer I guess I won’t be able to wear that teeny bikini around proudly but hey, it’s not just about summer — it’s about getting a fit lifestyle, well, for life!

Kicking it off with some POP Pilates tonight and a slow run in just a bit :) xx

Sorry I have been posting in a while, sweethearts. Today marks the start of my study week and next week are my final exam papers! So I’m going crazy having to juggle studying, and also all the cooking and baking I’ve been so into lately.

Either way, apart from that, I am rly looking forward to summer. Heck yeah! ^^ Despite not being able to don a pretty bikini (and look even prettier in it), I’ve got big plans for summer and I truly cannot wait!

I felt like the past two weeks I’ve been making pathetic amounts of effort to get a clean diet. I’m not even exercising proper anymore; having a clean diet is the least I could keep right now… Oh gosh.

This week’s goal: eating rly clean! Go me :)

Back to post more on my intake. I rly have been drowning and losing focus. Sigh!

I’ve recently been pretty amused by Russian twists. Somehow the exercise is easy and I’m sure v effective too.

Slightly disappointed ‘cuz over the weekend I weighed myself and I put back on 0.5kg, which is total shit. I think I deserve it, tho. Haven’t been eating clean and most definitely haven’t been working out. FML.

My stummy feels bloated a lot of the time too now, and I think it’s going back to the way it looked before I started this journey. I need to focus again on what’s important, because I want to look ready for summer. The boy posed me a challenge about a month back: what he’d like to see in me was a bikini-worthy body (torso up, at least).

Two weeks ago I thought I was somewhat on the way. But I’m sliding back now and falling fast. Help, I need more time because school and all the extra-curricular activities are honestly getting in the way.

I haven’t been posting about my food intake and workout for so long!! I realized that it rly makes a difference whether or not I eat clean and do any exercise at all D: Because when I actually blog about it, it helps me to be accountable (most of all to myself)! It’s so psychological sometimes, but I’ve come to see that it’s true.

So, I’m going to start again, no matter how busy I might be! Won’t give up just yet.

School is truly killing me. I had lessons ‘til 6 yesterday (a test included), and then I’d project work all the way ‘til 2230h. It’s a crazy life. Thank God I still managed to squeeze in that run, but that’s partly also because I was so damn stressed yesterday I had a minor breakdown around dinner.

The run was good; I cannot express more how much I love endorphins.

Hi darlings, thank you all for the motivation and encouragement I’ve been receiving! I’m not going to give up despite two crappy weeks. In fact what imma do is to pick myself up and get going again.

There’s no reason to give up now!! My goal is possible, I just need to keep telling myself that. It’s Monday morning now (just over 1am), I’ve just completed my assignment and it’s time for bed.

Went grocery shopping earlier, bought tons of healthy food and made myself so happy! I’ll be eating clean this week, I promise. And yes, I’ll be working out more again :)

New day, new week, new start! For now, goodnight cupcakes ♡

I honestly cannot recall much about last Thursday and Friday anymore because it was so last-week-long-ago and I have to admit I’ve been too busy to update! So I’ll just be posting about yesterday (Saturday) and today :)

So proud of myself for Saturday’s lunch, ‘cuz I was otw home from hostel and when I called my parents to ask what’s for lunch they said we can either make sandwiches/wraps or order in (which would be pizza or Macs for sure!!). So yup, I made the choice to have wraps even though I had to buy lettuce, ham and wraps PLUS carry all that with my books and whatnot on the bus home! I must say it was worth it. I like feeling that I can make a change in my family’s diet.

I couldn’t wait ‘til Monday before starting on the Spring Break Ready Workout, so I did the Sunday routine in addition to my ‘Fab Ab’ :) Looking forward to keeping up with the routine every day.

As promised, I’m going to talk about the Greek yogurt I had: wouldn’t say it’s the best thing I’ve eaten (haha), but considering it’s healthier than normal yogurt and it packs a protein punch… I think I could learn to like it! The texture’s just so much thicker than the usual yogurt, it feels like I’m eating flourless cheesecake batter. (Somewhat.) Odd!

I must say, I’ve been feeling v fat recently and I think I’m slowly slipping back to my old ways of eating, giving myself a lot of leeway here and there. That’s bad. Bad bad bad. I can’t give up now!!!

So yesterday marked a month since the start of my weight loss journey. Looking back, this has been one of the best changes I’ve made to my life.

One of my favourite motivational fitspo quotes goes: “It takes 4 weeks for you to see your body changing. It takes 8 weeks for friends and family and it takes 12 weeks for the rest of the world. Keep going.”

It’s been one of my major motivations in the past four weeks, and while I don’t see that significant results on the scale, I definitely can say that I see my body becoming smaller, fitter and — dare I say — even a thigh gap may be starting to form (yay me)!

My exercise routine has been so poor in the past two weeks, but slowly and surely I’ll get there. Even in the face of school that’s eating me alive, and the time constraints it takes to work out and prepare my own meals! I can do this, and so can all of you. xx
