Reflection:

I think over the past couple of months I've improved on being more focused. Looking back at my first couple of blogposts I can see that I really wasn't mentally focused. Wow. Not a surprise. I wrote a lot about the daily challenges and hardships of getting started. Which are real- no doubt- but also manageable. I don't think I've matured much mentally since those posts ahhaha but I'm getting better at not focusing on the negative and trying to focus on just getting it done. I don't kill myself over eating a box of oreos....I just try to make sure it doesn't happen again. Finding that balance between eating healthy, eating delicious foods (aka unhealthy foods), exercising, and portioning properly is no fun- especially when you have to work around kids and their picky diets and a husband that sometimes likes to treat the kids.....but I definitely feel like it will be funner once I do find that balance. I'm trying. 

I saw this video that uses a bell curve graph to show the relationship between the quality of life and physical caliber. I wish I could find it again but anyways...it made me realize that I really do have to find that balance and not try to go hard out body builder diet but still have some type of meal planning to stay on track. I sometimes see friends on FB or Insta and feel like I should be meal prepping and eating organic and veagen and all that.....but it's not realistic for us right now. Right not I need to focus on what I can do. I've been slacking on our meal planning. Oh I guess I just found my goal of the month. 

Week 23

Okaaaa maria......4th of July Weekend is turning into a weeeeeek long celebration which includes over eating and no exercise. I've been eating so much junk since Sunday and now my body is paying for it! I feel so sick lol.

On the bright side tho (and yes there is a bright side) I usually come back more determined and mentally focused when I go through these little lows.. lol sooooooo winning? more like winning next week? lol

oh but next week is family reunion...let's try do as much activity as possible yeah?!? YAY!!!

Week 24

We went to my Fa'amuli family reunion. I kayaked, danced, and chased kids. Counts for something yeah?

Week 25
Tues- Got back from family reunion. Got sick with a cold and was fighting it off. Took these immune defense pills and vitamin C pills that are Native American All Natural Healing  whatever...I don't even know how old they are or where they came from. They were unopened and in our medicine cabinet. Buuutt they were working very well!!!

Wed/Ths- sick, on the mend. Eating salad and soup for days and drinking lots of lemon water.

Fri- Went to ward camp for the night time festivities. Got home around 3am. so much for rest and recovery.

Sat- too much lemon water or maybe it was the pills or a combo....but now I have diarrhea., greaaaat

Sun- Went to church and my stomach was stiiillll churning...Spoke in sacrament, taught sunbeams, came home starving, ate only a little bit food and spent the majority of my Sunday on the royal thrown aka the toilet.

So where am I now????
Let me just start off by saying....
KALLLOOOOOFAAEEEEEE JULY HAS BEEN GIVING IT TO ME!!!!
Week 21 and 22 were part of June and I was doing great and then the best month ever hit and fa everything. No need to fret. I'm gonna hit it hard this week. After seeing all my pics from the family reunion....

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...
