Personal Goals - Health

After returning from a retreat on a private island and reading the book "Surrounded by Setbacks," I made a decision — it's time to take real action to become a better version of myself.

The past three years have been a rollercoaster, especially when it comes to my health and career. I’ve wanted to change, but I was overwhelmed by too many goals, trying to accomplish everything all at once. That approach left me stuck, disappointed, and filled with self-doubt.

Now, I’ve chosen to take a different path — breaking my big goals into smaller, achievable steps that can motivate me to keep moving forward.

The first area I’m focusing on is Health — something within my control and the foundation for everything else.

For the last three years, I haven’t taken care of my body the way it deserves. I exercised regularly and went to the gym, but I didn’t pay attention to what I ate — and as we all know, nutrition plays a major role in shaping our health.

I’ve tried dieting before, but I often gave up after a few days and slipped back into old habits.

So this time, I’m keeping it simple and realistic — goals that I can actually achieve and celebrate.

From June 16 to 30, I’m focusing on reducing body fat, measured by my waist size.
📏 Starting waist (June 16): 74 cm
🎯 Target waist: 70 cm

Here’s my plan:

  1. Intermittent fasting for 2 weeks

  2. High protein, low-carb, and low-fat meals

  3. HIIT workouts 3x/week (Mon, Wed, Fri)

  4. Weight training 2x/week (Tue, Thurs)

  5. Consistent sleep

  6. Low-stress mindset

It’s not about perfection — it’s about progress. Let’s see where this journey takes me. 💪

Birthday Trip to Vietnam - Hanoi (Cafe hopping)

We spent our  last day in Hanoi  doing what we love most— café hopping ! The day started with a local breakfast of  Banh Cuon , a soft steamed rice roll filled with minced pork and mushrooms, quite similar to  chee cheong fun  but with its own Vietnamese twist. Light yet flavorful—perfect to kick off the morning. Next, we visited  Café Giang , the birthplace of the famous  egg coffee . Rich, creamy, and unlike any coffee we've had before—it’s a must-try when in Hanoi. Our last café stop was  The Note Coffee , a cozy and cheerful little spot decorated from floor to ceiling with colorful  sticky notes  left by visitors from all over the world. Their  iced coconut coffee  was refreshing and delicious—definitely a highlight. Since our hotel was located near  Train Street , we couldn’t resist visiting it multiple times— three to be exact!  We even had dinner there one evening, enjoying the thrill of the train zooming by ju...

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in.
