BIG GIRL TIME

Listen I don’t know what clicked in me these last few months, but I can feel myself evolving in real time. Like, I’m entering this era where I’m soft, intentional, and peaceful, but also disciplined, focused, and becoming the version of myself I always prayed for.

This era feels like Becoming Her… the woman I used to daydream about. Lol that was a bit cliche I get it.

Staying Locked In at the Gym

First thing is that I’ve been in that gym four times a week, consistently — Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. No excuses ( maybe a few but rarely!). I have been focusing on doing cardio every time I go then splitting up my days by body part. Focusing a lot on legs and back but trying to work everything in the week.

Since August, I’ve lost 24 pounds. Twenty-four. That’s discipline! That’s God helping me stay committed even on the days I didn’t feel like it.

My Eating Habits Are Growing Up Too

The wayyyy my eating habits have been maturing? Whew. I’m learning that feeding my body well is one of the biggest acts of self-love. I’m not perfect, but I’m being intentional, cooking more, choosing meals that make me feel good, and slowing down on the stuff that leaves me feeling sluggish. It’s a balance, not punishment. I have been actively trying to increase my protein and add more vegetables in my diet.

Solo Dates & Celebrating the Body God Gave Me

I’ve also been taking myself on more solo dates, and honestly it’s become one of my favorite parts of this new era. Whether I’m out to eat by myself, at the beach journaling, watching a movie in theaters, or just wandering around a store, I feel so grounded.

It’s like I’m finally appreciating the body and the life God gave me instead of rushing through it or waiting for someone else to make it special. I can do that for myself.

Starting & Ending My Days With God

Another thing that has really changed me is how I’m choosing to begin and end my days.

In the mornings:
I play a sermon or a Christian playlist while I’m getting ready. It sets the tone for my whole day. It reminds me who I am and who I belong to.

At night:
I either read my Bible, do a bible plan, or spend quiet time with God. Just me resetting my spirit.

This routine keeps me soft. Keeps me grounded. Keeps me SANE.

Skincare Discipline = Self-Care Discipline

Also, the way I’ve finally gotten consistent with my morning and night skincare routines? I used to skip steps like crazy but now I actually stick to it. Cleanse, moisturize, treatments, mask all of it.

It sounds small, but keeping promises to yourself builds confidence in a way nothing else can.

The Soft + Disciplined Era

This era isn’t about perfection. It’s about structure, softness, God, and showing up for myself even on the days when it would be easier not to.

I’m letting life feel gentle again.
I’m letting discipline make me stronger.
And I’m letting God make me new.

This is the era where I don’t just talk about the woman I want to be,
I’m becoming her.
