OPERATION GET FIT!!!!!!




 Week 32

 Mon- 8 min HIIT. Got Aljay to join me so it's a double win.

 Wed- 8 min HIIT. Weighed in 186 lbs. 
Week 33

 Wed- 15 min workout
Week 34
Another week of no progress. I'm really glad I've decided to keep up with this fitness journey journey because it really makes me rethink my efforts and priorities. I get frustrated and feel like there really isn't a point to even keeping up with a fitness journal....but then I calm down and realize that it is a journey and to still keep record no matter how boring or uneventful my progress may seem. 

 Week 35

 Mon- 15 min workout in the morning

What week are we on again?

UMmmmmm...and this is the part where I go off topic since I've already jumped off the fitness train and explaaaiiiiinn my liiiifeeeeee....

hoiii....where to begin. where to begin.

OK so I've been failing at keeping up with a lot of things......

  1.  working out obviously
  2. eating healthy im a chocolate addict. There I said it! On to phase 2 of the 12 step recovery process...no but really...i have no control when it comes to chocolate!
  3. blogging I've even missed blogging a few workouts! hello I need to get credit for those!
  4. and other things I'll just call the rest of the list "other things"
So weekdays have been a little crazy for the Fuimaono family...

Since I've really started to settle into my job position, my work schedule has started to include a few early mornings and sometimes late evenings. It's nice though. I only work 28 hours. So I typically only have to work 4 days out of the week and then have a Friday off, and if I have to work a Saturday or Friday, I just take some hours off of another day. I get an hour lunch everyday and access to the school gym and facilities so I should take half my lunch and work out....yet somehow I'm still unable to really commit myself to it.

I try to pack healthy-ish lunches for work...but like I mentioned in #2 above....it's that stupid chocolate!!! i'm sorry. i didn't mean that! You're not stupid chocolate! 

By the time I get home, my attention immediately goes to the kids. It starts with a lot of snuggles and hugs from Saleima (who gets all attachy when she sees me), then Leila and Sefa's homework and reading, all while Viiga is running around doing something random and calling out "Mom! Moooooom..mom. mom. mom. mom. MOOOOM!" Then somewhere in there we have to fit in dinner, showers, dance practice, and lotu. By the time I put the kids down for bed I'm make die dead bird already. 

Oh yeah that "dance practice" is for my Mom's retirement party next month. Candace is taking her job of coordinating the entertainment portion very seriously and is making sure everyone has their parts down. #sheso2mils #daswhyiloveher #noshame
So I've started teaching Leila. She's a natural!!! I love it! And then I have to teach Sefa! Another natural! And then there's Viiga....he dances to the beat of his own drum. 

Coming back on topic...so yeah that's my typical week. 

Oh and I cannot forget to sprinkle in the unpredictable schedule of my dear husband Aljay. You can never know for sure what his week is going to be like. Beside's the ROOCI projects, events, and meetings...he's always up to something. It could be anything from fixing someone's car (brakes, suspension, everything!), to helping with prepping for a plate sale (for the Militia), to working on art pieces, to finishing a tat. And these things last anywhere between 3 hours to all day. You just never know. 

So we try really hard to be flexible, find a good balance, and make sure that we are still doing everything we are supposed to be doing (i.e. FHE, family prayer, family scripture study, fasting, church calling, Temple, etc).  But then we end up neglecting our physical fitness/health needs. Yes it's a "we" thing cause Aljay and I both need to get our celestial bodies back lol 

Anyways....I'm ending this segment and starting up again tomorrow. Yes I know...start on Monday so'o!!!! BUT I'm going to be making some changes...I'll explain in my next post when I figure out what those changes are lol 

But hey! We only lose when we quit. Or stop trying..Or something...just google "inspirational quotes" Sandra! eeegh. I'm sure we all know what I'm trying to say.   

AS LONG AS I KEEP TRYING I CAN FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY EFFORTS. 

okay i feel better now. Looking forward to tomorrow. 

Ending this segment on 10/16/2016.

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...
