Fitness Journal: OCT-NOV 2020

I got motivated again and started taking pics 👀😂

Also...I've decided that I want to lose 25lbs by my next birthday
 (which is in roughly 9 months).


OCT 6
Weigh in:  98.4kgs (10/6)


DEC 8
Weigh in:  ???

Wish I could weigh myself, but some kid decided to take the batteries from my scale....they just can't let me be great. #canneverwin Anyways...I figured I'd still take pictures and document the journey.  But by the looks of it...I think I lost a lot of weight from Covid and then quickly gained it back once my taste buds and sense of smell returned. #backatsquare1

***COVID 19 hits our home....*** 

uuuugh!! I was totally in the zone and doing well to exercise and be mindful of my eating. Then Corona came through and threw me off!! 

and this sickness has been so weird!! Aljay and I have lost most of our sense of smell and taste. Somedays we feel well, then the next day we feel so tired and achy. Aljay has had the chills off and on. I've had body aches off and on, fatigue, and diarrhea. Ew tmi. But I'm still determined to get back into a good habit of exercise. I need all the energy I can get. 

Oh the bright side, not being able to smell or taste has led to less eating. Which is great for me losing weight, but not great for baby's milk supply. Lucky thing Salani is a good eater and susu is now becoming more of a comfort and supplement instead of her main source of food. 


Tues, 12/8 - We are done with our 2 week covid quarantine and now I'm having to get myself back into working out. So I took my progress pic and now have to get my butt going. Starting up again is always the hardest part for me. The goal to lose 25lbs by my next birthday still stands tho!

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...

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...

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...
