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...

Reset to Zero Ground

Last week was an emotional roller coaster, as I mentioned in my previous blog . On September 28th, I received a revelation: my period arrived eight days earlier than expected according to my app. I was overjoyed, believing that God had answered my prayers. This felt like a sign that being a stay-at-home mom was my next role. I had promised God that if I wasn’t pregnant, I would be willing to follow His will, including nurturing my three boys at home. My first reaction was one of disbelief: "Really? Is this it, God? The end of my career and all my hard work?" Then, I met Tante Elaine, a speaker from Indonesia invited to discuss the importance of being fruitful. Her life story resonated deeply with me and provided another affirmation of my path. She reassured me that I am multitalented and that God might have plans for me that are greater than I can imagine for His Kingdom. She encouraged me to be patient during this process, reminding me that just because we can’t see the frui...
