Version 4.0

I haven’t even started my 75 Soft challenge properly.

It’s always almost day one, but never quite.

Sweets. Junk food. Emotions everywhere.

I hate blaming hormones,

but today I just feel… off.

Maybe it’s the frustration.

Maybe it’s the heartbreak of trying again

and again

and again

I took another pregnancy test.

I already knew it would be negative,

but I did it anyway.

Like some part of me still hopes,

even when hope feels stupid.

What’s the point of hoping

when it only ever ends with that one line?

Still, I’m on Day 23 of my 97-day weight loss journey.

That’s something.

5km walks. Lifting weights.

Showing up for myself, even on the messiest days.

This is me today.

Unfiltered.

Not just the photo, but the feeling too.

Still here.

Still trying.

Maybe tomorrow will be softer.

Maybe tomorrow, I’ll feel a little stronger.

Hola! I was supposed to start my 75 Soft Challenge today but guess who didn’t? 🙋‍♀️ Hahaha.

BUT! I still walked and squeezed in a little workout, so... not totally a fail, right? 💪

On the bright side, it’s already Day 22 of working out consistently! So we’re still making progress, one sweaty step at a time. 😅

Here’s my unfiltered face to prove I showed up anyway ✨

Tomorrow, we try again!

Starting Over: Day 0 of My 75 Soft Journey

Hey Tumblr, it’s been a while.

I stopped writing and journaling again but I’m here starting all over. I don’t know if you're going to be proud but I’m already on my 21st day of walking and doing light workouts. Hahaha.

Today is officially Day 0 of my 75 Soft Challenge. I'm starting to journal again because it's part of the challenge. I’ll also be posting my unfiltered photos here as part of my progress.

I really hope I can stick with it this time. Hahaha. Wish me luck.

Day 16

Day 15

Day 14

Day 13

Hola!

Thank goodness it's Friday! 💃 I had a blast today. I decided to call it a day early and treat myself to some delicious food at Banchetto. 🤤 After satisfying my cravings, I kicked back and enjoyed a movie marathon. 🍿 Now, it's time for some well-deserved rest. 😴

Day 12: A Day of Triumph

Today was a day to remember. I accomplished so much more than I expected. It was incredibly satisfying to cross items off my to-do list one by one. The feeling of accomplishment was like a warm blanket, wrapping me in comfort and satisfaction.

I'm so proud of myself for staying focused and motivated. It's amazing what can be achieved when you put your mind to it. This experience has fueled my determination to continue striving towards my goals. I'm excited to see what the future holds.

Day 11

Today was a rollercoaster of emotions. We started our day early, and I dove into lesson prep, finishing my presentations. Then, I got a message from my husband saying he wasn't feeling well and his blood pressure had skyrocketed. The nurse advised him to go home, but they gave him immediate first aid. I was terrified and asked my boss if I could leave early. Thankfully, she let me go.

We met up at home, but we had a doctor's appointment at 3 PM. Things took a turn for the worse when he said, 'I feel like my existence is a sin.' My heart sank. I knew he was just not feeling good, but his words were heartbreaking. We both needed rest, so we slept until 2:30 PM and then got ready for the appointment. The doctor prescribed him additional medication, and we'll follow up in two weeks.

I'm so worried about him. Everything today has been so stressful, but I'm holding onto hope that things will get better soon.

Day 10: A New Approach

I'm still figuring things out. I want to be more disciplined and responsible, so I'm taking a step back to focus on setting goals, creating a routine, and finding accountability.

Day 9

1. Get Healthy: I'm committed to improving my overall well-being.

2. Learn English: I'm excited to expand my communication skills.

3. Be a Great Teacher: I'm passionate about inspiring and guiding my students.

4. Be Disciplined: I'm determined to stay focused and committed.

5. Earn More: I'm exploring additional income sources to achieve financial security.

Day 8: A Much-Needed Recharge

It's been a while since I've checked in here! Today was a perfect blend of relaxation and quality time. We started the day with a peaceful church service, followed by a cozy nap that felt like a dream. After a satisfying lunch, my husband and I headed to the mall for a little pampering. While he enjoyed his treatments, I indulged in some window shopping and a bit of people-watching.

Our afternoon date was a delightful surprise. We savored his favorite crepes and brought home a delicious feast. As the evening unfolded, I curled up with a good movie and drifted off to sleep. It was the perfect way to recharge my batteries after a busy week.

Day 7

Despite feeling a bit under the weather, today turned out to be surprisingly delightful. I tackled some household chores, feeling the satisfaction of a tidy space. But the real highlight was receiving my new laptop charger. It confirmed my suspicion that the old one was indeed faulty, saving my beloved laptop from further damage. What a relief!

Day 6

Another day, another missed class. The monotony of this suspension is starting to wear on me. Mornings find me working diligently, trying to make the most of the time. But afternoons, well, afternoons are a different story. I find myself drawn into the captivating world of Korean dramas, losing track of time and productivity. It's a guilty pleasure, I know, but sometimes you just need a break from reality.

Day 5

Another day, another snooze fest. Classes are still out, so I'm basically living the dream (or nightmare, depending on how you look at it). But hey, at least I'm getting a lot of couch time.

Speaking of couch time, my laptop's decided to take a break from all the hard work. It's refusing to charge, and I'm starting to think it's got a grudge against me. Hopefully, it's just the charger playing possum.

On top of that, I'm feeling a bit down lately. It might just be my hormones playing tricks, but I'm starting to feel like I'm stuck in a rut. I've been trying to shake things up, but it's like I'm stuck in a loop.
