2023 FITNESS, FINANCE & NO BUY UPDATE #1 | Staying Accountable

guess what guys we are doing a gold

update and

um not to brag but I smashed it I think

it makes the most sense to go in the

order of the things that I posted on

YouTube so we've got my no buy video and

then we've got my finance goals and then

we have my fitness goals so let's start

off with the no buy just as a refresher

my goal here is a complete and total

beauty makeup clothing home decor no buy

for three months and then after that

point I can repurchase certain things

um I can do kind it's just more of a low

buy with being a little bit more

conscious about spending how did I do I

did not buy

anything that I was not allowed to buy I

went to the thrift store to drop off so

many things I walked into the thrift

store twice walked around and had things

in my hands I went through the clothes

and I was like yeah girl just like pick

up all the things that you would buy and

then we'll look at it when we're done

you know what happened I looked at

everything and I was like this is not

worth breaking my word to myself or

failing this goal that I've set for

myself and I put it all back every time

the only things that I have bought that

are in this house right now I needed an

office chair because I was sitting on a

ladder and my desk needed a glass top on

it because it's just getting absolutely

scratched to so I have that coming

in the next seven days otherwise I've

been buying meal kits oh I bought two

deodorants because I was out I have also

updated on this twice on my Tick Tock

where I just kind of was like Hey guys

still kicking ass so if you want to go

over there and see more updates than

once a month you absolutely can so

overall lessons from the first month I

am wanting to spend less money I'm not

as like oh my God I saw that that looks

so cool when I'm on Tick Tock or

something or like if my friend shows me

something that they got and I'm like oh

my God that is cool usually I'd be like

I'm going on to Amazon right now

actually that does remind me I did buy a

couple things off of Amazon let's go to

my orders and see what I got I got a new

light fixture up here I forgot about

that and then I had to get some light

bulbs always the funnest I got some cat

litter I got some printer ink and

that is it

literally no fun money I will say in

terms of using things up that I already

have I'm now completely out of like

liquid eyeliner and I'm not gonna buy it

because eyeshadow and like I'm using the

Anastasia Brow Wiz and that's working

just fine I am really seeing a lot of

progress on the things that I'm using

and I'm also I split up my closet into

only winter stuff and then all of my

summer stuff I have stored under my bed

right now so my closet is a lot more

clear and I'm wearing things I'm being a

lot more

kind of harsh in terms of like how I

feel in my clothing I think but in a

good way where it's like I'm actually

staring at myself and being like how

does this make you feel and if it isn't

like awesome I get rid of it but in

doing that I haven't found like holes

that I need to fill in my wardrobe so

it's just downsizing things that aren't

serving me or aren't making me feel my

best so that is where we are in the no

buy we are a third of the way done and

we are going strong financial goals the

main one here was I want to save a

hundred thousand dollars this year so

breaking that down it is about eighty

three hundred dollars a month give or

take I also had questions like if you

earn say like 10 grand one month is that

just gonna be like extra or is it gonna

like take over for another month where

there's less and yeah like for this

month I saved nine thousand dollars

which again if you want more context on

why that's happening in like that amount

of money I will link that original video

down below long and short is doing only

fans full-time time and making this kind

of money is something that I want to

make work for me and for my future and I

am also going to Europe in April and is

a trip that I've been wanting to do for

literally years and years and years and

I'm fine this is my year I'm gonna do it

so this month I saved up just over nine

thousand dollars so if next month I only

do like seven that's completely fine but

the goal every month is still eighty

three hundred dollars and then the last

one was fitness goals so the long short

of it there was I wanted to lose one

pound a week I wanted to gain a little

bit more exercise and things that made

my body feel good and I have been doing

that as well so I got a scale that is

tracking all of my weight loss in the

app and all together this month I've

lost 4.2 pounds and 1.1 percent of my

body fat okay so my weight currently is

174 so that is four point whatever I

said two pounds down and and my goal

weight is 148 pounds some of the changes

that I have done personally every single

rough edit for any video I am doing and

editing I have to do on my walking

treadmill that has been the number one

way that I've been getting an extra 3

000 to 4 000 steps a day a rough edit is

literally just importing stuff for me

and cutting out the Dead Space and then

I go back through and do a more

fine-tuned edit and add in transitions

or fix the lighting or fix the audio but

the rough edit that usually takes me

about 30 minutes to go through I have to

do that walking when I have a big

editing day and I'm rough cutting a lot

of stuff I'll do like one rough cut sit

down do the more fine-tuned editing do

another rough cut get back on the

walking treadmill so those are days

where I am noticing my steps are going

up a lot instead of averaging like two

to four thousand steps a week I've been

averaging closer to like seven to ten

thousand steps a week or a day I'm also

re-watching super natural which I know

you're like okay well why does that and

I'll tell you why that matters because

every time I go to put Supernatural on

in the evening I have to do the first

episode while I'm riding on my bike and

I started this two days ago so it's not

like a long-formed habit yet but it has

been working for me and then I shower in

the evening and then my hair is dry and

ready to film in the morning so it's

just been actually really working for me

so I don't have to do a morning workout

and then shower and then do my hair and

then I'm finally ready at like 11 A.M

and then I can work and then I work out

later I just work out at night and I do

lighter cardio during the day I did also

go and stop by a gym yesterday and do a

little walk through tour and it just

wasn't the vibe like I want to be a gym

girly but like I get a lot of anxiety

around being in a gym like I don't know

what I'm doing I do know I want it to be

a comfortable space so I'm going to see

how the like cardio and the added bike

thing goes for me for this month and

then if I want to amp it up I do have a

gym that I have been to in years past

that I did like and feel really

comfortable there so I'll just go

re-sign up for that one I have been

really bad for ice cream lately that has

been kind of my Achilles heel but I've

also been cooking a lot more at home and

using a lot more Whole Foods meal prep

boxes have been my absolute go-to I've

been using a lot of good food hellofresh

and fresh prep I'm signed up to all of

them and then I just like if one week

one's meals are better for me I go with

that one and I just cancel the other

ones for that week and for me comparing

grocery bills when I'm going out and

buying a bunch of stuff versus getting

these it is more financially sensible so

overall I'm very proud of myself I am

most proud of myself for not buying

anything when I went into those thrift

stores that was the toughest battle for

me I'm I'm just so strong-willed you

know no I'll be honest the idea of me

having to come on here and report to you

that like I bought clothes that was a

very motivating factor to stick to my

guns with all of the that I've been

doing and then planning the Europe trip

which I literally did today in terms of

like flights and hotels and stuff that

is now my ongoing added motivation

because it's gone a bit kind of

expansion but like I've wanted to go for

so long so I'm gonna do Dublin I'm gonna

do Rome and then I'm gonna do Amsterdam

so it's kind of like a one of these and

then it's cheap to fly back home from

Amsterdam and also going to be doing

Vegas for my cousin's birthday so it's a

very travel heavy sort of dealio which

makes again the no frivolous shopping

thing very important and it makes it

more meaningful because now I have

things that I want my money to go to

instead and I also want to look hot as

in Dublin and find a Irish husband

and then bring them back here and uh

that's it that's my whole goal but

anyways I love you guys so much let me

know how your goals are going if you

left your goals on the bottom of any of

those videos this is where we all update

this is where we all hold ourselves

accountable this is where we redirect

and you know see what we need to change

or tweak for the next month coming up I

will do another one of these updates in

a month from now crazy I will also not

be buying anything frivolous Beauty home

decor whatever

um which also makes it easier because

now I have two roommates so there's a

lot of stuff in this house and um there

is no room for things I will be down to

170 pounds and I will hopefully also be

saving 8 300 again in February so go

subscribe to my only fans help a

out and I will see you all very soon bye
