Meal Prep 1

-

This week, I have prepared my meal prep šŸ„˜šŸ² for Monday through Friday. Ever since TikTok was created, I have seen so many videos online about meal prepping. At first, I felt weird about it because, first of all, how can someone eat the same meal they have prepared over and over again? Not only that, but it grosses me out thinking about reheating my food because I like mine fresh. Ever since I had my own apartment (sophomore year), I always find it so difficult to decide what to eat. In addition, the fact that I am a broke college student means I have to figure out something so I can support myself financially.

TikTok has taught me so muchā€”not only how to find cheaper products online, where to shop for good clothes, how to organize your room, clean your house, etc.ā€”but I have also found TikTok helpful for managing budgeting when it comes to meal prepping. I started meal prepping my junior year of college. I remember how I used to say to myself, "I can't cook," but it's honestly just the fact that I didn't know where to start and what to cook. 

My first meal prep ever was "overnight oats." I also made a TikTok video about it, which, if you follow me there, feel free to watch again :) I will not lieā€”I did not eat all of those. I forced myself because I didn't want to waste them. Ever since then, I started realizing how healthy it was for me, how cheap it was, and how much money I saved so I tried my best to find the right food to make.

For this week, I have prepared "beef tacos with a side of zucchini and potatoes." Then, for the "overnight oats," I have prepared them with oats, Greek yogurt, Nutella (for taste), and chia seeds. 

Feel free to recommend to me in the comment below what I should meal prep. For my next post, I will give the rundown of what ingredients and what I do to prepare them šŸ’–

    Love this! Meal prepping can be such a game-changer, especially for saving money and staying on track. Honestly, this is inspiring me to start meal prepping too because I always struggle with figuring out what to eat during the week. Canā€™t wait to see your next post with the details!

    I totally understand the unsure thoughts about being able to the same meal for a couple of times, it's totally cool how you're pushing yourself to really stick to it.

    You're doing amazing. Meal prepping is such a great way to stay healthy and save money, especially as a busy college student! Keep pushing through, and donā€™t forget how far youā€™ve come from saying, "I can't cook," to prepping full meals and inspiring others!

    Loving your meal prepping blog so far! This is definitely something that I want to get into myself, and will most likely be starting once I begin to live in my off-campus house next semester. I think this is such a great way to have meals already taken care of and ready to go when us college students are constantly busy or running around to different places. Looking forward to more of your posts!

My Gym Journey

When I was in high school, I would always use our home treadmill and do some ab workouts šŸƒā€ā™€ļøšŸ’Ŗ. As I grew up, I started learning more about staying active at the gym, which I began going to during my freshman year of college. At first, all I did was walk or run on the treadmill because I was too scared to try something newā€”I didnā€™t want to look silly in front of everyone. As I watched more workout videos online, I slowly gained confidence and finally got a Planet Fitness membership during my junior year. Even then, I still struggled to stay active and consistent, especially while being a full-time student and working šŸ‹ļøā€ā™€ļøšŸ“š. About a month ago, I became more committed to the gym after seeing real progressā€”not just in my physique but also in my mindset šŸ’–. Working out has helped me stay productive, reduce stress, and gain confidence in myself. I also started taking creatine and noticed even more improvements! However, I know that reaching my goals isnā€™t just about working outā€”it also...

Travel Experience: Mexico

One of my biggest dreams has always been to travel the worldšŸŒŽ. So, for my blog this week, I want to share the story of my trip to Mexico!  This was my first time traveling without my parents, and honestly, I was pretty nervous at first. But I was lucky enough to be with the kindest peopleā€”people who took care of me and showed me around their beautiful country. Before this trip, the only other country I had been to be the Philippines, where I grew up. Now, I can finally add Mexico to my list! And surprisingly, Mexico reminded me a lot of the Philippines. I had seen videos and heard stories about it, but being there in person was a whole different experience. The similarities were crazyā€”the food, the way we count in our languages, the fact that we both call our money "pesos." And while both countries have areas that are struggling, they also have some of the most stunning natural landscapes and historical architecture Iā€™ve ever seenā€”especially the churches, which I completely ...
