 Hi guys, it's Ash, and welcome back to another video! Also, I'm wearing this new one-piece pyjami that one of our fans got me, one of our lovelies. And it's Sailor Moon, it has this hood, isn't it the cutest? Look, there's a moon here. I'm obsessed, and it's super soft. Thank you! Thank you! I'm wearing it well. I love it. Honestly, after my promotions for my solo song Here We Are has ended, I've just kind of let it go. Like, I've let myself go. So, when my solo promotions ended, it was around like the end of August, and I told myself, I was like, okay, just let me just treat myself out to the month of September since I worked hard, and yeah, so I'm gonna eat all the delicious food that I didn't get to eat for the past like three months. October, November, same thing. A lot of birthdays, a lot of celebrations, so, you know, I had a lot of gathering with friends, and I just ate whatever I wanted, basically. I didn't care about what I was putting into my body. And then came December, it's like the festive holiday season, a lot of like potlucks, gathering, drinking, I just kept comforting myself, saying like, Oh, it's fine, your body's just throwing up fat because it's so cold. Like, I would just tell myself that, and I was like, yeah, it's fine, whatever, I'll just start dieting when it's like spring again. I've been just spending the last four or five months being very lazy, not caring about what goes into my body. I am going to hit a point of no return soon, so I was like, this is the time, like now, I gotta go back to my old ways, I gotta stop this unhealthy lifestyle. And also, I just found out that I'll be going to America in February, so I'll be going back home for two weeks, and that kind of motivated me to, you know, work out and eat healthy and shed a few pounds again. So starting tomorrow, I have about 20 days till my flight to New York, and I decided that I was gonna start like a 20-day diet challenge, just to document myself and my journey. Because, you know, having you guys, you know, keeping me accountable and just filming myself, I thought that would motivate me more and encourage me to try harder, rather than if I didn't have a camera in front of me, and I know I should still work hard on my own, but I knew I needed the help. I decided, okay, why not do this 20-day challenge video? So for the next 20 days, I'm going to work out as much as I can, stay away from processed foods, stay away from sugar and sweet, savory, delicious stuff, and I'm gonna try to cook for myself more at home because I haven't been doing that, and I think I really need to start. Now I know this is about, you know, having a healthy lifestyle more than just a 20-day diet challenge and going back to my old ways. Of course, I'm going to, you know, try to keep this up for as long as I can, but, I mean, when I get to New York in 20 days, I gotta eat some New York pizza, you know? I can't stay away from pizza and bagels while I'm in New York. And when I come back to Korea, I'll start, you know, living my healthy lifestyle again. Guys, wish me luck. I haven't done this in so long. This will be my 20-day journey towards a healthy lifestyle that will go back down in New York, but that will come back up when I come back. So I hope that you guys will enjoy this 20-day diet challenge video, and maybe it can be helpful for some of you. This is me getting back on the grind, being healthy, eating healthy, and feeling healthy. So wish me luck, guys. It is good. So I've had plans since, like, two weeks ago, so I came to eat steak, which is not that bad because it's, like, all protein, but I do think we're gonna drink a little bit of water. And I just did last night, I was sitting over in my toilet for, like, 40 minutes because I kept feeling like I needed to throw up, but I hate throwing up. I hate the feeling of throwing up, so I just, like, held it down. I drank some hot water, and I think that helped a little bit. I didn't have breakfast yet. I'm still not really hungry, but I feel like I'm gonna get hungry around, like, two. So I'm gonna make myself some lunch. I sound so down right now. I'm fine now. Anyways, I bought some duck meat, and I'm gonna cook that with some putcho. I don't know what putcho is in English. I'll find it with onions, putcho, and garlic. I love onions and garlic. When we have Korean barbecue, I eat so much. I always ask for extras. I'm gonna get to cooking. I'm gonna put a little right here. I have my duck meat that I prepared with onions, garlic, and putcho. And over here, I washed some kimchi in cold water because they said this tastes better with white kimchi. It's dinner time now, and for dinner today, I got salad to go from my favorite salad place. It's called chigo salad, and they have, like, chains everywhere. I bought this one. It has onions, and eggs, and tomatoes, and corn, and lots of greens. See? It's all green. Ooh. Minimalistic. Ooh, and it's empty. We came to eat here, and I'm gonna mask because the dust has been so bad these days, but we're gonna get some. Poke and salad. I got the salmon salad with miso soup. I just got home from the gym, and I totally forgot to update you guys last night. Well, yesterday, I started the day off with half an apple and some nuts, and then for lunch, you saw what I had with my friend. We had the poke bowl. I keep saying poke balls. Poke bowls. And then for dinner, I had Mexican. I opted for the vegetarian tacos, two pieces, but I did have some nacho chips with guacamole. I was so hungry. The salad, I don't know. It's all digested within, like, an hour, and I was starving. So I had some of the nacho chips, but I think it wasn't enough for me. So when I got home, I was so hungry, so I had two boiled eggs, and then I went to sleep. And this morning, I woke up, and it was really hard to get out of bed. I don't know why. I know I should, but it's just so hard to find motivation. What do you think the problem is? I don't know. I was thinking maybe because I don't have a workout partner and I just go to the gym by myself, so it's boring. Maybe if I did something that I enjoyed, maybe like yoga or Pilates, I would have more fun with it. I think that will really motivate me. No, stop making excuses. You can do it well by yourself. I should. I shouldn't rely on other people and I shouldn't rely on other things. Anyway, so after I got back from the gym, I was starving so I made myself some apples with cinnamon powder. I don't know. I always started off my day with apples for like the past two or three years. I always have to have apple in the morning. It just feels right. I think it started because I was this whole fat about how apple is so good for you, especially in the morning if you eat it on an empty stomach. But I'm not sure how trustworthy that is because I think apples are pretty acidic on an empty stomach. I don't know if it's the best. It's 12.35 right now. But this is like my brunch since it's my first meal. Just 18 more days to go. Yay. I'm gonna make myself some eggs. I'm gonna put this avocado oil. Tada. This is my lunch. Kind of messed up on the one of the eggs. I put everything but the bagel seasoning as always and I microwave the leftover duck I had from Monday. Sweet pumpkin, ricotta, and salad. I'm on my way to radio, so I just ordered salad. I'm gonna eat that after I finish recording in my first hour before I go into my live show. But for now, I'm gonna eat some sweet potato. I brought it from home. I'm gonna have it with my warm cup of americano. Yay. So sweet. Why are you so good? Why are you so good? Hey guys. I'll be making some omelettes with some vegetables like mushrooms and of course garlic and onions. I would put more vegetables in there but those are the only vegetables we have for now. Let's get to cooking. First, you gotta cut the vegetables of course. I actually found some spinach and mushrooms. I think I'll be making something more along the lines of scrambled eggs with veggies. I washed my spinach. I know this looks like a lot but we all know once it's cooked it's gonna become like this small. This time I cooked the garlic. My fingers smelled like garlic for like the next three days. I pulled some everything but the bagel seasoning and some flax seeds. So the scrambled egg I just made, I'm waiting for it to cool down so I could put it in a container so I could take it to practice with me. I guess that'll be my late lunch around like three or four. For now, I'm starting my day with apples. I actually have plants tonight and it involves drinking. I mean, I guess I don't have to drink but just gonna be like massive food and it's going to be hard to resist the temptation. I just got to practice having a cup of hot Americano. Time to eat my second lunch now. It looks delish. I'm listening to some phony people in the background because I'll be going to their concert this Sunday. Yesterday night, I ended up eating more than I should have. I didn't drink a lot. I had two glasses of Sangria but they ordered like fried shrimp and... What else is there? Nurungji tang, which is like a kind of like a porridge soup. And today I woke up late because I got home late yesterday. Why am I such a weakling? I don't know. I mean, I'm not giving up just yet but tonight I have another outing. This apple is so soggy. I ate soggy apples. So since I have that tonight, I'm really going to not eat a lot before dinner time. I'm about to eat my boiled eggs. I need some energy. I know I said I wasn't gonna eat anything besides eggs today but I got soy milk on the way to the radio. Hi guys. I just left my house. It is Saturday. Yesterday at the Korean barbecue place, I had some of the pork but I ate a lot of vegetables. So that kind of cancels it out, right? It's better than just eating a lot of meat. I think that I had like 30 garlics or something. But now I'm on my way to Hongdae. To me, Christine and Joan, we're gonna go grab vegan food. Vegan burger. Veggie burger. Veggie burger and then the lasagna. Everything's vegan. We're gonna film like a Q&A video on her channel and originally she wanted to eat like pizza and I thought it'd be a great idea because we're both from New York. I'm so mad. This is the worst timing because I just started like nine days ago. You did mess with me. Let's just eat pizza. I know that first. I was like, let's just eat pizza or bagel because like, you know, I'll just starve. What do you call bagel in Korea? I'm good bagels. But then I was like, you know what? Like I'm filming this video. Like I can't just be like, let's just eat pizza. So I was like, let's just get healthy snacks from the convenience store. Yeah, we did. Almond milk, nuts, granola, sweet potatoes, and Grace drank this cognac. Hey, I'm in Itaewon. To me, Joan, Christine and Grace are lunch at one of my favorite brunch places. You won't see much footages of the place in this vlog because I'm actually working on my top favorite brunch spots and soul video. And this place is actually going to go in that video. So you guys will have to just look forward to the brunch video. It's a little hard to guess. Getting my morning workout in. Oh my gosh. I need a break. Well, I actually came to this place with Joan before in the summer and I fell in love with it. It's an Australian style brunch restaurant. So I'm here now. Let's go inside. Joan food. I know. What's that? I got the chicken breast sandwich. Hey guys. It's Thursday. I'm at practice. I have no makeup on because I'm going to skincare later. I just came straight to practice after I woke up and I haven't eaten anything yet. But I did bring some stuff with me. I brought half an apple. I brought a pack of nuts. I brought two eggs and a sweet potato. So I'm going to eat whichever one I feel like eating out of those four. I went with apples. It's kind of soggy. Why are all the apples so soggy these days? For dinner, I got myself a salad from Paris Baguette. I'm going to share this with my manager. Probably have one or two.
