Wanted to share a win that I told my coach about yesterday! My siblings and I spent about 6 hours helping our aunt and uncle sort and move things as they prepare to move to Samoa. My brother and I ended up handling most of the heavier lifting. My aunt was worried it would be too much and told us to wait for when our cousins came, but my brother and I just told her, “Aunty… this is why we work out.” 😆 So she let us take over. We moved containers in and out of the garage organizing everything. She was surprised watching us go back and forth and how quickly we got it done. Later we found out the containers were anywhere from 10–60 lbs. There was also an island counter top that she thought would be too heavy but we were able to move it too! We even ended up on her Facebook Live 🤣 This was a meaningful win for me because my body is still in recovery mode and I’ve kept to light workouts lately. But I still had the energy to be out there lifting and moving for hours, and my back and knees handled it just fine. After we left, my aunt texted my mom thanking her for having us come out to help. She had been really overwhelmed thinking about how they were going to move everything, and it was a big relief to have us there. Moments like this remind me of my why — getting healthier and stronger so I can be ready when my family needs me.

Exciting day over here! 🎉 I got my new smart food scale today and had to try it out right away. still struggling a bit on this end with weighing my food and then I saw this. They make everything “smart”nowadays 🤨 not sure if it’s a good thing 😀 but it did make the weighing process easier today! It syncs directly with my phone, so tracking is way easier and way less stressful. Feeling pretty excited to see how this little gadget helps me stay on track!
