Lockdown sucks, can we all just agree on that, first? I haven't seen my friends, I barely see my family (beyond those I live with) and I am bored senseless from not being in work. Basically, I am ready for lockdown to be over. However, there are things that have been keeping me sane and in a routine that I am grateful as hell to have, which I will be sharing with you all today.
So, I give you, in no particular order: Things that are getting me through lockdown.
Animal Crossing New Horizons / The Nintendo Switch:
I bought myself a Nintendo Switch at the start of quarantine, and I've been playing it pretty much non-stop. Animal Crossing has become my obsession, and I've been working very hard on my island, Wench Cove. I have also been playing some other games, Assassins Creed 3, Crash Bandicoot N'Sane Trilogy and a few others, but ACNH has been my ultimate escape from the terrible reality.
Fitness Routine:
I have been doing the Chloe Ting Shredding Programme, alongside my usual running, and cycling. I've been eating as clean as possible, tracking my food, my water, and at the time of writing this post, I'm doing intermittent fasting too. The IF wont be a permanent thing, but I'm finding that teamed with the shred challenge, I'm getting closer to my goals with that bit more oomph!
The workouts are tough, but I'm enjoying them, seeing real progress and feeling amazing! I have not, and will not be weighing myself, as losing or gaining doesn't matter to me, simply I want to feel stronger, healthier and look a little better too. So far, it's going well!
Dynasty:
Guys, please let me have this one, okay. I know it's trash, but it's so fun to watch! I am blazing through it on Netflix and only just found out recently there's a whole new season. I love watching this in the evenings, and I'm trying to only watch a couple of episodes per evening so I can really enjoy it, but it's difficult, because it's so addicting.
The Ordinary Skincare:
As well as getting back into a solid health and fitness routine, I've been getting back into my skincare. I'm using The Ordinary to get my skin back on an even keel. I've been using The No Brainer Set, the Glycolic Toner, AHA/BHA Peeling Solution and a few other products. The purging breakouts have started to subside, and my skin has never looked or felt better. Call me converted!
I'll leave it there for now.
What have you been doing to keep sane during quarantine?
