Because your'e not a quitter Sandra! I mean, 
you've quit a couple thousands times....but you don't quit trying!!! And that's what matters!
Thank you self. 

Alllsoooooo...I have something to look forward to!!!
I'm going on the regular Spring recruitment trip to Hawaii in April but this time
ALJAY IS COMING WITH ME!!! 

Woohoo!!!

So now we both are on a kick to get some kind of healthy before then! 

Can you believe that??!!? Our first kid free trip! Just us! 
Made possible by 
1. Brittany Fuimaono [aka Briyonce aka BriChelle aka Baemar]
 aka the best sister in the world!!!
2. UVU (work perks!)

We're stoked! And we're using this as a kick-off for our 10 year anniversary that's actually in June but who cares! We can celebrate whenever!


Annyywaaayyssss....

What is my plan of action?

(1) IF = intermittent fasting.

I basically fast for 14-15 hours starting from my last meal at night, which is sometimes at 6pm and sometimes at 8:30pm. During the fast I can only have water or tea w/cream. I decided to give this a try because (1) it works well with my schedule, (2) it's very similar to what my eating habits were like living in Samoa (and I was hella skinny and had a lot of energy then so maybe it'll work again?hahahha), and (3) the theory behind was intriguing enough for me to want to try. I do this maybe 2-3 times a week.


(2) KETO

In a snapshot, keto is >> High quality fats. Low carb (NO sugar). Moderate protein.

Umm..basically Aljay really looked into it first and he wanted to do it. He got me on board and I felt like I could do it if he was going to do it as well. I really just wanted to prove to myself that I can control my cravings and get a grip on my sugar/carb intake. I know I'm prone to type 2 diabetes and that I don't exercise enough so the least I can do is have more discipline with my diet.

My goal is to go 8 weeks keto. Carb cycle...then get back onto keto until
A. I get below 200 lbs
B. Get into a consistent workout habit/routine
C. or a combination of both
My biggest challenges?
  • Getting the workouts in. There seems to be no time after work which means I have to be disciplined and wake up early to get it in or just MAKE the time.
  • Getting in enough veggies and quality fats
  • My addiction to chocolate. 

 I took my measurements in February...yeah back when I thought I was going to start working out hahahahah...

 buuuut based off of past experiences, I have more success when I also record what I'm doing lol and apparently I do better when there is something major to look forward to. So below you'll see my stats and a few pics.....like after I get through it LOL.

And if you're still reading....Bless your soul.

Bless my soul. 

And may we make it through together.

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...
