Weightloss Journey | March 2021

 March fitness was very very much a struggle. I keep thinking..uuuughh why bother even journaling? Buuuut it's part of the journey and I need to hold myself accountable. So here we are. 

Right so....the top pics (wearing red) were from two months ago I think? 
And the green ofu pics were from 3/31/2021.
I'm about 220lbs in both lol 


*K, notes for myself....
1. Put dates on the pics
2. Have someone else take the pictures.

JOURNAL

Week 1 - this was a tough week. No workouts. This is the week of Harrison's passing and funeral services. A lot of no sleep and soda to get us through. 

Week 2 

3/11 Thurs - The fatigue and exhaustion from the previous week definitely overflowed into this week. It was rough trying to get back into the routine, but yesterday I meal prepped so there's that! lol

Week 3

3/16 Tues 

- Attempted step at home and the two youngest were not having it. Just let me be great sheesh! 

- Also, my body clock is off. Day lights savings was on Sunday, meaning we moved time up an hour. Which means we now have more daylight during the day. It probably screwed up my rhythm cuz I've been so tired during the day and fully awake at night. I hate it! Anyways...trying to get back into a rhythm. 

- oh and you know what doesn't help??? Aljay and I went on a spontaneous date last Saturday and tried out an Argentinian grill. We had empanadas, bone marrow, crusty bread and chimichurri for appetizers. For our main dish we did a meat platter of short ribs, Portuguese sausage, blood sausage, skirt steak, tripe, and rice on the side. Yeah never again letting Aljay order again like that. The food was bomb but we ate so much fatty stuff that we both felt sick afterwards. It's Tuesday and I feel like my digestive system still hasn't recovered. 

Week 4

3/22 Mon - played pickleball, feeling really sluggish and bleh all over again. Starting allll over again!

3/24 Wed - pickleball

3/25 Thurs - boxing (RS activity lol)

3/26 Fri - Step

3/29 Mon - aaand I'm sick. Sinus cold. No fun. 

3/30 Tues - Feeling better. Yay! Started my ma'i booooo lol. 

3/31 Wed - 15 mins step

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...
