Fitness Journal: AUG 2020



Let's have a reminder of the goals shall we...well, more like the goals we started out with at the beginning of the month. Mind you I have adjusted my goals as the weeks have progressed---
  • Movement
    • 3 walks a week (was 4, but we decided to be more realistic)
    • 2 intensive movements - either an intensive from Mutu or zumba or really anything that requires my undivided attention for at least 30 mins. 
    • Ab therapy (Mutu) EVERY DAY!!!
  • Eating
    • More veggies/fruits
    • Less of the bad stuff
  • Weight Goal for end of August: Lose 6 lbs
  • Starting Date: Aug 3 (Monday, duh)

Oh and I took some pics!! Finally remembered! And no there isn't any difference after a month. My belly is still so bloated and I cringe at these, but I need to document this. I have faith that I'll get to where I want to be and one day these will make really awesome "before" pics lol. Oh and I'll get better at taking pics lol. 

JULY 27


AUG 31

Weigh in:             97.4kgs (8/2)
Weigh in:             96.6kgs (8/31)

Overall thoughts--
  1. Did not hit my weight loss goal this month, but also didn't exercise like I was trying to. 
  2. My soda intake is not good. 
  3. I need to take better pics and clean my mirror lol. 


JOURNAL

8/3 - 👎
8/4 - Walk, Core
8/5 -  👎 But I was pretty active and moving all day (cleaning, moving things, grocery shopping, etc)
8/6 - 👎
8/7 - She went to the gym👀👊👏👏👏👏😁😁😁 but did I do much? That is the question. Not enough in my opinion, so I count it as a walk lol. 
8/8 - Does swimming count? The answer is NO Sandra! 👎

Week 1 Reflection: 2/3 walks👍 and 0/0 for the other two goals. Also, eating was meh. 

8/10 - 
8/11-
8/12- walk👏👏 'bout time!! and we still have Fri and Saturday to at least hit the weekly goal!
8/13 - 👍 played soccer with the kids after their practice. I'm counting it. 
8/14-
8/15- 

Week 2 Reflection: 

ok...let's be real here. We need some work! Working out in the evenings is a no go. My eating has been pretty good though. I'm making better choices and listening to my stomach when it's trying to tell me that it's full! But I need a better system..so here's what I'm going to change up in my daily routine next week.  
  1. Walk with the kids to the bus stop in the morning. They start school next week so I think that will work out. 
  2. Do my ab therapy every morning before the walk. It takes 15 mins..which I think I spend on social media when I wake up anyways...soooo yeah.
  3. I need to be up early enough to get my scripture study in aaand
  4. I need to make time for my intensives. sooooo that means....
  5. I need to revise my block schedule to make sure I get church calling stuff in, work stuff, house keeping stuff, and "me" time. 
So what I guess I'm saying is that I need to just change my mindset to "JUST DO IT" mode and get myself 👏OR👏GAN👏IZED. Good job girl. Way to be long winded lol. 

8/17- 
8/18- Walk 👍
8/19- Walk 👍
8/20- 
8/21- Walk👍
8/22 - Didn't walk, but did spend a good two hours pushing a stroller over grass fields trying to catch all the kids' soccer games. 

Week 3 Reflection: 
I'm pretty proud of my effort. This was the first week getting adjusted to kid's going to school and adding soccer games & practices to our schedules and new routines. Eating was still meh, but overall I'm pretty happy about my walking, even if it is just 15 minutes each time. 

As far as intensives go...let's add intensives next month. We got to readjust a bit..so I'm going to end this month just focusing on--
  1. Getting walks in
  2. Drinking enough water
  3. Getting enough sleep 
  4. Eating enough whole foods.
8/24 - Walk 👍
8/25 - 
8/26 - 
8/27 - Walk 👍 
8/28 - 
8/29- Walk 👍 We had a full on day!!! Soccer in the morning, followed by Lagoon for a good 7 hours💥 Got my 10,000 steps in!

Week 4 Reflection:
Not gonna lie, this week was weirder than normal. I finally got my period and that threw me way off! I couldn't figure out why I was so bloated, sore back, and short tempered (you know...like more than usual lol)!! And then Wednesday came through and solved the mystery hahah!
Eating was alright, but that darn soda is soooo yum in this heat! Anyways, weigh in is tomorrow. Let's hope for the best!

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

Image
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...
