7/20 - I'm annoyed

 I weighed myself a few days ago and decided to delete everything I was "journaling" LOL...cause essentially it was a waaaastte time post of the same thing over and over>> 'Today was great!'  'Today sucked! ' (on repeat). 

Also, when we took the kid's to the trampoline park for Sefa's birthday I decided to do a little jumping....okaaaa. It was really annoying feeling all my weight go up and down with each jump. My knees were also feeling it. And when I had to jump into the foam pit to get Tuli out, I was on the struggle bus trying to get myself out lol. Shame! 

So yeah I'm fed up with myself and the fire within has been reignited. I need to be active and move! AND I need to fuel my body with things that will help be active!!! So here's to another beginning!!!! I might forever be trying and restarting a million times over but who cares. When it comes to being healthy, I'm happy that I am a stubborn quitter. 

So I'm going to go ahead and have a good chat with myself and come back to this post with an action plan.

8/2- So here's the action plan!
  • Movement
    • 4 walks a week!
    • 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 rice/bagels/sweets
    • Lower meat and milk
    • STOP the SWEET DRINKS...blardy heck I'm not really a fizzy drink person, but this summer heat got me loving the soda shops
  • Tracking
    • Weekly check in
    • Weigh in at the end of each month. 
  • Weight Goal for end of August 
    • Down 6 lbs
  • Starting Date: Aug 3 (Monday, duh)
For reference, here are my previous weigh ins. I've been weighing in on the 18th of each month, but for journaling purposes I'm going to just weigh in at the end of each month. 

Starting weight:    212lbs (5/18/2020)
Weigh in:              216lbs (6/18/2020) 👀😞😬
Weigh in:              215lbs (7/18/2020)😅😒😑
Weigh in:             97.4kgs (8/2/2020) 

*Someone accidentally switched the setting on our scale so now it reads in kilos instead of pounds. I aint mad though lol. 

Self, all the best! Get it done girl!

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...
