PROJECT BIKINI BODY

Oh dear month of May....

W  5/3 Sandra [15 mins cardio workout]

 WEEK 2
M  5/08 Sandra [15 mins cardio workout]
T  5/09 
W  5/10 
Th 5/11 Sandra  I got my birth control removed!! YAY!

 So curious to see how things go this time around with that little rod removed! Like will I lose weight faster because it's out or will it be a mental thing? Like all of a sudden I think my workouts are more effective because I know that it's out? Anyways....i think there must be some sorta psychological effects because....
 how about Aljay is all of a sudden back on the fit train hahaha. Cuz my birth control was somehow holding him back??! lol. But he's back on  so I'm happy.

So today I'm at 202lbs. <<<<Starting weight
And in 7 weeks I want to enter my 30's weighing 187lbs. <<<<GOAL
That averages to losing 2 lbs a week.  
Lesssss gooooooooo!!!!

 but like start on Monday LOL it's Mother's day weekend and Kako's graduation party on Sat hahhahaha theeeeee struugglllleeee is reallll!!!!
WEEK 3
M  5/15 okay okay
T  5/16 slow start
W  5/17 we not quite mentally committed lol
Th 5/18 Aljay got his CPAP mask in the mail (Saleima had ripped up his last one so he hadn't been sleeping with his machine and started falling asleep all over again so we finally ordered another one and it came in yaaaayy!!! It makes such a huge difference!)

 WEEK 4
M  5/22 
T  5/23 Sandra 30 min low impact cardio (morning) swimming (evening)
W  5/24
Th 5/25 Sandra swimming (evening)
F  5/26
S  5/27 Sandra YT cardio workout
Auuriitieee then.....time to recap....bleh

So I'm slowly getting back into the habit of exercising. I'm starting back at square one and it's rough. I lose muscle and gain weight faster than I lose weight. But I'm determined to get back on track. As far as eating....I just need to be better (duh).  For me, working out tends to make me want to eat healthier...so I need to at least start being more active.

 I turn 30 in a month and I want to celebrate feeling 30, flirty, and thriving!!!! hhahha Well at least feeling confident in my body. Plus I want to reward myself by shopping for new clothes (yes pleaz..cuz I'm long over due!!)

 Aljay isn't quite ready to start up again. If you couldn't tell. He's feeling the sluggish-flabby-getting old-need-to-workout-feeling but he isn't ready to re-commit. He's an ALL IN or nothing type of workout person. So he's playing the "wait til we have have money" and "wait till the house sells" and wait wait wait game. Whatever....he has his ways and I have mine.

So May....
your month was cray.
Not enough slay.
A little too much play.
But das ok.

(oh heeeey I'm so rhyme-ish)

Anyways....JUNE I'm ready!
Here comes another month
Another chance to get it right
Another attempt to be better
Another opportunity to hit my goals
All I got to do is keep trying.

Good Luck self!!!

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...
