Operation Get Fit: Month 3 and a little of Month 4 report

OPERATION GET FIT

Fitness Journal

WEEK 9

Thought I'd switch it up and do some Zumba today...you know....just to make sure I'm still uncoordinated. Annd yup! Still uncoordinated.

It's snowing. what the heck! I hope I still have the desire to run, when it actually starts warming up. I have no desire to workout. This weather is so glum.

Workout done.

It's Friday- I don't feel like being healthy. Today I want a burger and a strawberry limeade slush from Sonics. I don't want to workout. I don't want to eat veggies, I just want to have movie night and eat brownies. It's definitely one of those days.

Sat- took the boys to the playground in between general conference sessions. The weather was super nice. No one was there so I worked out lol. I warmed up, did a set of exercises, then decided I'd jog around the playground area. I only did 2 laps around the area and thought I was going to throw up. Yeah maybe I should make sure I can walk before I run.

WEEK 10
ITS SPRING BREAK!!!! I AINT DOING Ssshhhhhhhhh hahahahahahhahah!!! My lil Seester Teuila and her family are here vacaying for a week!!! Discipline, will power, fit train, all on hold! I'm having fun with the fams!

WEEK 11

Back at it! Mile and a half walk done.

Workouts done!

Mile walk- 20 mins flat. okay good we have a base line.

Made Aljay walk with me today hahahah :) Today is a good day.

He went walking with me again! #WINNING #FitFriday


 WEEK 12

caught up on sum much needed sleep. hallelujah. adequate rest = healthy.

mile walk: 18:38. had a good stretch afterwards. yaaaaayyyy......zzzzzz

workout done.

skipped today blah.

did my mile walk then sprints on the soccer field...omg. my first sprint was so ugly. I kept telling my body to run faster but i just couldnt....was soooo slow. hahha. my body felt weird like i didn't know how to start up and pick up speed. noooo kinda fast twitch muscles hahahah.with each sprint I tried to concentrate on what my body was doing and try to find that familiar sprinting feel (cuz when i was a sprinter competing in the olympics #semioeeee), see if i'm running with proper form (oohhh reaalllyyyy? *high voice*) i could feel my throat swelling up after each sprint. I was breathing so heavily. OKaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

WEEK 13

 This whole week was rainy rainy rainy and cold cold cold.  My attitude/motivation/desire/will/discipline/whatever you want to call it was as glum as the weather. This is a bye week for sure. Never worked out. Never ate good. Feel like crap. Ohhhh the struggle. And now I find myself saying yet again "I'll start again on Monday" uuuuggghhh. It's okay Sandra....we all have those weeks. You'll get through this and pick yourself up again on Monday. Don't stop trying girl. Don't. Stop. Trying. 

 WEEK 14
 Um yeah it's been another slow week. It's Wednesday and we finally went out got a walk up in the canyon. It was really nice. Leila and Sefa's school have a fun run on Friday so that cover Friday lol. Slowly getting back on the train lol.....blaaaahhhhhh
Alright...where am I now after 13/14 weeks?

 Physically..I've seen slow progress. Progress nonetheless. My stomach has gone down a little. My back fat has gone down a lil bit. Weight wise I haven't dropped very many pounds. I'm only down to 192, which is discouraging to me. I'm starting to think that the birth control I am on is really making harder for me to lose weight. I don't want to use it as an excuse but forreals though. I was losing weight faster when I was on the mini pill.

Then there's also the breastfeeding issue. I don't want to workout too hard because then my milk slows down and then I have to eat to keep it up and eeeeehhh okay maybe that one is an excuse. So many obstacles! hahaha.

My eating hasn't been great. I do so well a few days then someone brings by food, or our day gets super busy and I don't eat at the times that I should. I guess I should really pull out the tupperware and start meal prepping (insert long discouraged face).

*long sigh* I'm still trudging along. Trying every day to do at lease some sort of exercise. I probably shouldn't have written today because I'm having one of those downer days where I like be one Debbie Downer and play the "woe is me" card. hahahah. But it's the end of phase 2 or month 3 or whatever and this is where I'm at. Gosh such a depressing post hahahahah

 *Telling myself* I can do this I can do this I can do this I can do this.......

egh I'll get over this.  I'll get back on the fit train and chugga chuggah chugga chuggalong.

Start the year off with two volleyball tournaments for Leila. The picture below is of her and Isa, the only 14-year-olds on their U16 team.  Fires are destroying parts of California, the Palisade area experiencing the worst of it. Texas and some of the southern states are experiencing some of the worst snow/ice conditions. TikTok is on the verge of being banned, President Trump is continuously passing executive orders that are sending people into panic.  Saleima made a list of the disasters and warned us that Jesus was on His way.  Sefa moved up to the Teachers quorum and was ordained by his Dad, Uncle Dennis, and Uncle Ben. He's growing so quickly and I love seeing his growth. They have a great group of young men. I love that they are old enough to plan activities, including attending the temple to do Baptism.  Sefa's also starting U15 7v7 pylons with coach Matt Manuma. He had made the decision to not be held back for football. It's a common practice here in Utah, a...

Being Prepared For These Times

Auuuu that title sounds like I'm trying to write a General Conference talk or something hahaha. Probably still on the GC vibe from the beginning of the month lol. Anyways... So this pandemic that's going on, it's been something else! It has put the whole world on lock down. So many lives have been affected. I've written quite a bit in my journal, but I wanted to make sure to write about how the Lord has prepared our family specifically for this time. Looking back just in February and March, we can easily see how the Lord had orchestrated parts of our lives.  In February Aljay secured an art collector who commissioned several art pieces. His deposit was the cushion that brought a sense of financial security when we entered this lock-down life.  Towards the end of February, my bosses had heard about school closures in Seattle and decided that we should have a plan in place for our advisers to work remotely in case the schools had to close. We honestly didn...

2025 February

Leila - Volleyball and more Volleyball  Leila had two tournaments in February. This club season has challenged her in a good way. She wants to play the outside hitter position but is playing on a 16s team (meaning older girls with more experience) and is sitting in the 3rd spot for out side hitting. To get to the 1 or 2 spot she needs more reps, more practice, and more individual coaching. We're seeing improvements each week, but are planning to set aside money for her to do more 1:1 coaching.  These tournaments are no joke. They are allllll day. 6am - 7pm sometimes. 1-day, 2-day, and sometimes 3-day tourneys. The mental stamina it takes as a parent ahahahahh is a real thing! Trying to say the right things to keep your athlete focused, motivated, and locked in is tough. There are so many things that are over stimulating or compounding: - the non stop sound of whistles and girl's cheering/screaming - the smell of swass in the building that increases as the tournament progresses...
