FUIMAONO FAMILY

WINS! Sandra I can see and feel that I'm losing inches I've been consistent with moving at least 5 days a week.  I'm finishing January on Module 3 of the Mutu System (walking, core, intensive 1) Aljay By 1/18 he's down 28.5 lbs! Amazing! Consistent with diet and exercise! Continuously losing weight

 Jan 1 - Brittany is Leaving US!!!😰😩😓 Is she tho??? Am I being dramatic? Yah.She's moving into her own place two minutes away and still here in Vineyard lol. Her roomates (the tiny girls) are especially sad. We all are, but we also know Britt deserves her own space where she can be free to do what she wants and kick out guests whenever she wants hahaha because she already knows the kids are going to try going over all the time lol Update: The tiny girls have spent multiple nights at Aunty Brittany's place already.  Jan 3 - Trip to Goutemala Kalofae, Aljay finally got the gout. He was feeling a dull pain two days earlier but on this day he woke up and couldn't even walk. He was in so much pain. So off to urgent care we went. His scans came back great, but a few hours later we got a call that his labs showed high concentration of uric acid --- gout.  I picked up his prescription meds and he was able to take them around dinner time. By 11pm his foot was already feeling wa...

Sunday, January 4, 2026 Aljay and I sat down together as a couple to plan out the year, share our individual goals, and set intentions for our family. What started as a simple planning session turned into a really beautiful, almost therapeutic conversation, where we both opened up about how recent health scares have impacted us. Aljay shared how my sudden kidney stone trip to the ER was a huge scare for him and became the moment that jump-started his decision to take his weight-loss journey seriously. Since then, that journey has brought several positive changes—boosting his confidence, pushing him outside his comfort zone, and encouraging him to be more vulnerable. He also shared how he’s feeling more physically free, mentally clearer, and emotionally lighter, no longer weighed down by the fog of depression. As he’s made these changes, I’ve started to feel like we’re able to have conversations we haven’t had before—more honest, more open, and more connected. Overall, it was a reall...

 12/4 - Timpview Volleyball Banquet Earlier that week, Leila was like, “Are you guys coming to my banquet? I think I’m getting an award or something.” Both Aljay and I were like, “Yeah… participation award lol.” Welp. We were wrong 😂 Our girl was awarded Offensive Player of the Year for Junior Varsity! LOL Way to be great, Leila. We know her ankle injury was frustrating, but she kept moving forward and stayed focused. We’re proud of her effort and growth this season. Keep progressing. Playing a sport while keeping your grades up is not easy. She learned quickly how important it is to stay on top of her academics and to use her high school counselor when she needs help adjusting her class schedule. I’m especially proud of her for stepping outside her comfort zone and going in to meet with her counselor on her own. 12/5 - ER For Kidney Stones I was at work when I started feeling a sharp pain in my left flank. Around 4:00 pm it became unbearable. I finally left work around 4:40...

NOV 16 - Primary Program I got absolutely no photos from this day. The kids did great, as usual.  Pic: Britt NOV 20 – Saleima’s Birthday! Love my mini! The moment November hit, she gave us daily reminders that her birthday was coming up. She kicked off her big day waking up to her presents and our traditional decorated mantle.  Then it was off to school! We brought donuts for her class and checked her out early. Naturally, she also asked if her other siblings could be checked out too. We picked up the high school kids, grabbed a few things for her birthday dinner, headed home, and she got to dive into her presents. This meant coloring in her Wicked -themed coloring book and making bracelets—pure joy for her. For dinner, she requested spaghetti and meatballs with garlic bread. We wrapped up the night with an Oreo ice cream cake and Brittany taking the three little girls to watch Wicked For Good . Then on Saturday night, Metuli and Saleima had a sleepover at Aunty Penny’s house—...

Family Updates Papa Joe and Mama Saleia They've been making progress. Mom is doing great with her therapies(occupational, speech, and physical). She is very determined and gives her best effort. At this point, her therapy is to help maintain what physical abilities she has now.  They took the wound vac off of Dad's foot and changed the bandages every other day. The healing process moves a bit more slowly for him. He got a Dexcom continuous glucose meter, which has been really helpful in seeing his blood sugar levels in real-time. It has helped him to be more conscientious about his diet. Does he still eat all the carbs? Yes, he sure does. Tsk tsk.  High Schoolers - Leila and Sefa We're getting close to wrapping up their season. This month is playoff month.  After Timpview's game against Wasatch. The scout team (varsity Freshman) got to play in the last minute and a half and scored a touchdown! They were so cute celebrating in the endzone lol  These two are such goofs...
