Journal

1/26, Tues - 30 min walking ✓ core  ✓ 

1/28 Thurs - 1 hour Step class ✓ 

💓I'm proud of myself.💓 I invested in my health and got me a step, a yoga mat, and a new pair of exercise leggings (would've gotten more than one but daaaaamn all the size XL girls came through and cleared out the leggings haha). Aljay then added in new workout shoes (cause my other ones were getting old and he thought my old shoes were ugly) and pushed me to buy whatever else I needed. He's really good at just shopping without reservation lol so I'm happy when he comes with me and makes me get things that I wouldn't otherwise buy for myself. 

Also, the step class was bomb! I'm glad I bought a step (and won't be returning it for a refund like I originally thought ahahha). I'm glad we did a step class for Relief Society so I had no excuse not to try. AND I'm grateful it was a beginners class! I totally died and my legs felt so sore, but in the good way sore. 

2/1 Mon - 1 hour Step class ✓ 

Took Mom and Britt and had a good time! Plan to attend the Thursday class. Annnd, Aljay said yes to a couples step class (it was a valentines special 💓💓💓) so we're off to a great start this month!

<< Proof  

Oh and she meal prepped!! Woohoo! Which has caused a ripple effect and now everyone is on the bandwagon. 


2/4 Thur - 1 hour Step class ✓ 

If you look closely you can see me (black shirt) and Brit (grayish green shirt) in the back right side lol >>

Also,  the first week of meal prep has gone well. I used this meal prep as my guide.  Here's what I prepped--

Breakfast - chia seed pudding (chia seeds, almond milk, cocoa powder, monk fruit sweetener,  walnuts, scoop of collagen protein powder)

 Lunch - [Protein] chopped chicken breast sautéed with a little adobo seasoning, bell pepper, cilantro. [Veggie] Cauliflower sautéed with mushroom, radishes, bell pepper, seasoning.

Dinner - steamed sweet potato and broccoli with either cod fish or salmon patty, seasoning. I made two meals with cod and three with salmon patty. 

Having the meals prepped and ready to go has been so helpful! If I need a snack, I'll drink water first and then grab either peanut butter, nuts, fruit, whatever is nutrient dense that's on hand.

 2/7 Sun - Weigh In: 217 lbs 😤😤🙌🙌🙌 

It's been a minute since I've seen anything other than 220lbs so I am celebrating this win!

2/8 Mon - Mutu Intensive ✓ Core ✓ 

2/12 Fri - 1 hour Couples Step class ✓ 👀😇😁😂 Aljay was a trooper! >>

2/13 Sat - Core ✓ 

2/16 Tues - Core ✓ 1 hour Step class ✓ 

2/20 Sat -
This weeks was super busy and I didn't meal prep like I did the last two week. I definitely struggled because of not having premade meals available whenever I was hungry. I immediately felt the struggle. So back to meal prepping we go, cuz this was not fun having to find and make healthy options. 

Anyways, it's the last week of February. Gonna finish out the month strong!


2/22 Mon - 10 mins step ✓  (we tried at home, Salani wasn't having it) Meal prepped ✓ 

2/23 Tues - Mutu Intensive ✓  Mutu Core ✓ 

2/24 Wed - 30 mins step ✓ (again, sick baby = get what you can)

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...

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...
