Hiya bloggie! It's been more than a month, I know. Been back into journaling lately and I'm proud to say I was consistent now. I've been writing entries almost everyday. It's kinda therapeutic since I also get to make a bit of art and crafting. I've also tried to take some online classes. Well, just one. I've been trying to concentrate on what I want to do and worry less about getting a new job asap. Been taking care of myself too by exercising daily and watching what I eat.

Well. to be honest, I've been sort of avoiding opening my laptop. Because it means I need to log in at Upwork or OnlineJobsPH to look for a job. I haven't updated my resume too, which has been on my to do list for weeks. Hah! I dunno. I just can't right now. I feel so unequipped for all the job listings there and I feel like I need to learn more. I only open my laptop whenever I need to watch Netflix on the projector. Aside from that, I really can't bring myself to open any of those sites just yet. But I'm not completely doing nothing. I just want to take baby steps for now and just get back to the lifestyle I missed. I'm planning to take some courses online buuutt... But I haven't been waking up early.

I just love staying up late. I mostly sleep around 2-4 in the morning and wake up before noon. That's why I can't do much during the day because my hours would be consumed by constant Shopee browsing, YouTube watching, a 23 minute workout session and after that I'm a wreck and can't do anything else. I need to do more than this, I know. Maybe I'll try to start again next week?

I just need to push myself a little harder towards the right path. I have taken a step on it towards my health goals, maybe I can do it on my career goals too. Speaking of my health, I have started to do workouts everyday. I'm trying the Chloe Ting 2 Week Shred Challenge for the past week but with some modifications. I don't follow the daily workouts on her program but I would constantly do two exercise videos that totals 23minutes of workout time. One of them is for loosing weight and the other for the abs. On the first week, I was really struggling specially with those plank exercises. I hate it with pride. My knees and elbows were bruised and my hands hurt a bit because of all the pushing. But now, on my 11th day, I can do most of the plank exercises and finish it. I still can't or won't do the Up and Down planks tho. I don't get tired as much as I used too and I observed that I was sweating more than before, which I guess means I'm burning those fats! 

I'm proud of myself for this. I'm doing this for my health and as well as for our wish to have a baby soon. I need to be healthy once the husby comes back. It's one of the things I needed to do in order for us to conceive and it's my priority now. 

We wanted to do a lot of things. We wanted to do them all at once. But I guess we just can't or else we'll end up being so stressed and sick. That's why right now, I'm just taking it in stride. I will not rush or pressure myself and just enjoy each step in achieving my goals.
