🌱A healthy lifestyle

Being healthy is so much more deeper than physical.

Having a healthy mind is just as important. I can admit that balancing both has been nothing short of hard and near impossible but, you have to start somewhere.

I pledged to myself recently that I'll take back my life and care more. I've neglected myself and payed a big price. My physical health and mental health plummeted. I was left a shelf of a person. My own #1 hater. I didn't enjoy the things I used to, I stopped trying and I didn't like who I saw in the mirror.

But Thats going to change. As a mother I need to make sure I start functioning for my children. I have to make sure they always see a smile and never see a frown.

So for me, a healthy lifestyle looks like:

Self-care

Working out

Eating healthy

Removing negative people

Only allowing positivity in

This is what I'm working towards now.

Little by little, incorporating small things to help boost my self esteem like creating meal plans and buying more healthy food, doing my nails & hair and setting boundaries with people who abused my kindness.

I'm looking forward to the rest of 2025 and beyond.

🍼Postpartum life

I am definitely drained, mentally and physically. I am 2 weeks postpartum and just starting to feel better physically. I'm working things out when it comes to cooking, cleaning and managing everyone's schedules. I have two other kids 2 & 4 years old and they are definitely a handful already. Did I mention I only have boys. Lol. Now I have 3 boy that are rambunctious and lively, happy thankfully.

🕦Time for self-care?

Being completely honest, I have barely anytime for self care. Showers are a luxury, Doing my hair is a luxury and getting to cut my nails is a luxury. A luxury that I don't get to indulge in much. My day is full of cleaning up little messes, cooking 3 different things for each meal (because we all want something different), breastfeeding, setting up activities, being a referee, etc.

I started to take care of myself more. I definitely fell into a bit of a depression because of being overwhelmed and having negative moments during my pregnancy with my husband and family. Not diving too deep into it now, I managed to understand that I cannot neglect myself. I need to feel good, I need to be healthy and I want to look good for myself. So, slowly but surely I am working in certain self-care things I can do for myself. Doing my hair (straightening, oiling), doing my brows, nails, shaving (which what hard being super pregnant) and changing eating habits, and more.

It feels good to do right by myself.

📋TO-DO TODAY

I woke up fairly early today since my husband is starting work again today after being on paternity leave to help with our newborn.

I got my grocery order and breastfed.

My new baby boy "Little Roc", has another appointment today to check ensure his weight gain is on track.

So later on this afternoon:

Appointment for baby

I also got a baby basket full of items from my in-laws so after that:

Open baby presents!

(My husband wants to do that together. Cute lol)

My two other kids are with my mom having grandma time.)

So this will give me time to plan some stuff:

Make a daily routine

Start up homeschooling again

Work on some meal prepping for dinner(s)

I have so many other things that has to get ordered for my kids and myself so later:

Go over some necessities with my husband
