MY FITNESS JOURNEY: LEARNING TO LOVE THE UPS AND DOWNS

 

Hi, beautiful people!

I hope life has been treating you amazingly! On my side, life has been full of honey and chocolate—seriously, my life is so sweet these days. I don’t know what changed, but whatever it is, God has really been working and protecting me.

It’s been such a long time since I last wrote, and honestly, I feel like I’m about to collapse—just kidding! I’m alive and well. The truth is, I’ve been super busy working in the field, and by the time I get home, I’m too tired to craft something for you. But here we are!

So, let’s talk about something that’s been on my mind. Back in 2023, I had an average-sized body with a BMI of 24—not too high, not too low—and I was happy with my size. I loved going to the gym, and I was doing well. I remember squatting up to 80kg, and I was so proud of myself!

Then, at the beginning of 2024, I got sick, and my weight dropped drastically. My BMI fell to 17, which I really didn’t like at first. But as time passed, I started to love my new size. I eventually gained back a little and reached a BMI of 18.7, which felt perfect for me.

Recently, though, I started gaining weight again—not a lot, just two or three kilos—but honestly, it’s been stressing me out. So, I’ve decided to take control of the situation. I started going for morning walks before work, and today was my first day! I don’t know where this journey will take me, but I’m trusting God and trying out some dietary changes. We’ll see how it goes!

I want my story to be a reminder that if you’re not where you want to be, you can do something about it. It’s easy to get stuck in familiar routines, but one day, you might wake up and realize that not making a change was your own decision. Some things in life are out of our control—sometimes, nature chooses a different path for us—but we are still responsible and capable of rewriting our own stories. So, here’s to the journey of becoming who we want to be!

I love you all! Thank you for being so lovely and for reading my blog.

Oh, and I have a few pictures to share with you!
📸 The first is a picture I took this morning during my walk.



📸 The second is a shot from yesterday when I went out with my friend—it’s the vanilla tea I was sipping on (so tasty, but the cup was tiny!).


📸 The third is a picture of a building behind our office that I snapped last Monday on my way home.

Thank you again for your love and support. I appreciate you all! 💖

THE AGONY THAT ONLY THOSE WHO KNOW WILL KNOW

  Hi, hi, guys! I hope you're all doing amazingly. As for me, I’m doing okay—though not great—which leads us to today’s topic. Tell me, why do girls have to suffer so much in their lives? I mean, every single month, we’re granted a week of pain. Today started with that struggle, and honestly, it sucks. Picture this: I’m sitting in the office, and it feels like my world is being torn into a thousand pieces. It’s as if someone is literally slicing my womb with a knife. The pain is unreal. I know guys don’t understand this experience—some even act like we’re lazy or making it up—but trust me, if you had to endure this, you wouldn’t even get out of bed. Yet society expects us to act normal, competent, and productive, matching or even surpassing our male counterparts who don’t deal with cramps. And after all that effort, men still have the audacity to claim that we’re not strong. Let me tell you something: we are strong. That’s exactly why women deserve respect and care. We go through ...

LOST IN SCROLLING: MY STRUGGLE WITH SOCIAL MEDIA

  Hi, Friends! I hope you’re all doing amazing. I’m doing fantastic too! 😊 Have you ever felt trapped by something you’re struggling to break free from, like it’s pulling you down while you’re trying to rise? That’s how I’ve been feeling lately. Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a significant drop in my ability to focus. My hands seem glued to my phone, and I spend hours scrolling through TikTok and Instagram reels. It feels excessive, right? My Struggle with Focus I used to be someone who loved reading books—romantic novels, in particular—and spending time in prayer. But now, social media has taken over, and I barely make time for God or myself. I’ve tried to change my habits. For example, one morning, I decided to avoid my phone completely. I got up, took a shower, had breakfast, and went straight to class without scrolling. But guess what? I missed an important announcement about canceled classes because I didn’t check the group chat. That experience discouraged ...
