MY CRAZY & HECTIC "BEAUTIFUL LIFE!!!" CONTINUES...

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

WOW...  I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN...  THE LAST 13 DAYS WAS AN EYE OPENER FOR ME AND ESPECIALLY MY UPCOMING SPARTAN RACE!!!

THE BUTTERFLIES ARE RUNNING CRAZY INSIDE ME...  LOL!!!

ALOT OF THINGS HAS BEEN GOING ON WITH ME IN BOTH MY "PERSONAL LEVEL"  AND MY "PHYSICAL TRAINING".

LETS GET THE EASY PART OUT OF THE WAY...  LOL!!!

MY LAST POSTING I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF MY "TEAM CHALLENGE" - "I LOVE BURPEES!!!"

HERE IS THE REST OF THEM...

AND I FINALLY FINISHED MY 5 DAY CHALLENGE!!!  IT WAS FRICKEN BRUTAL!!!

I'D LIKE TO CONGRATS ALL PARTICIPANTS AKA WARRIORS...

JOEY, MELINDA, TRINA, BETH, AND KIMANI...  YOU FOLKS ROCK AND DEFINITELY INSPIRED ME!!!  I CANNOT EXPRESS HOW GOOD IT FEELS TO SEE ALL OF YOU...  ONE BY ONE SLOWLY TAKING STEPS TO A BETTER HEALTHY LIFESTYLE!!!

THE WEEKEND HAS FINALLY ARRIVED...  IT WAS TIME TO HIT THE POOL FOR SOME RELAXATION AND FUN WITH OHANA & FRIENDS!!!

THE WATER WAS PERFECT!!!  I SWAM COUPLE LAPS...  NOT BAD FOR BEING AWAY FROM THE OCEAN FOR 6 MONTHS...  I STILL GOT MY SHARK SKILLS!!!

MY FUN WEEKEND CONTINUES...

SOME COOL KID HANGING OUT AT THE POOL WHILE I WAS WORKING!!!

I ALSO HAD THE LIBERTY ON EATING SOME KILLER HOMEMADE PASTRIES MADE MY GOOD FRIEND, BRUCE CLAYPOOL'S MOM...  HOMEMADE CINNAMON ROLLS AND HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE CREAM PUFFS!!!

MAHALO TO THE CLAYPOOL OHANA FOR HAVING ME OVER FOR SOME YUMMY SWEETS...  THANK GOD IT WAS ON MY CHEAT DAY...  LOL!!!

I HAD THE WONDERFUL OPPORTUNITY TO BABYSIT THIS KIDDO!!!

I AM SUCH A POOR ROLE MODEL FOR THIS FELLOW...  WHAT WAS I THINKING...  I AM SO AGAINST THESE FOODS FOR OUR YOUNG GENERATIONS...  ARGHHH!!!

AND BACK TO THE POOL I WENT...  I WENT TO GO CHECK OUT THE "H2O CAMP" THAT THE YK-FITNESS CENTER PUT TOGETHER FOR THE KIDS DURING SPRING BREAK...  IT WAS FUN AND I WAS HAPPY TO BE PART OF THE FUN!!!

AFTER ANOTHER FUN DAY AT THE POOL...  IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO HEAD BACK HOME TO GET READY FOR WORK...  BUT FIRST...  I HADS TO PREP MY MEALS...

MY KILLER PRE-WORKOUT SHAKE BEFORE I WORKOUT AT MY JOB WITH MY CLIENTS!!!

SINCE THIS IS MY REST WEEK...  I DID AN ALL AROUND CARDIO CIRCUIT...  I MIXED IN SOME BURPEES, JUMP ROPES, AND JACK KNIVES!!!

AFTER THAT...  IT WAS TIME FOR DINNER!!!

AND  THAT IS HOW I TREAT MYSELF!!!

AND THE FOLLOWING DAY...  BACK AT THE POOL AGAIN!!!

MY "AWWWESOME" CO-WORKER, BRITANNY!!!

THE KIDS AT "CAMP H2O".

AND ANOTHER DINNER PREP BEFORE I HEAD TO WORK!!!

THE NEXT DAY I WENT TO GET MY EYES FITTED FOR CONTACT LENS.  I DON'T CARE FOR THEM BUT MY SPARTAN RACE IS COMING UP SOON AND I BETTER GET THEM SO I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT MY GLASSES FALLING OR BREAK IF ANY OF THE OBSTACLES GET TOO INTENSE!!!

WHEN I LEFT THE EYE CLINIC, I CAME ACROSS THESE COOL NATIVE ESKIMO ARTS & CRAFTS...

AFTER THAT I HEADED OUT TO THE STORE AND RAN INTO THESE BEAUTIFUL GIRLS SELLING GIRLS SCOUT COOKIES!!!

THEN I HEADED HOME TO PREP MY POST WORKOUT MEAL...  GREEK CHICKEN FILLING WRAPPED IN A SPINACH TORTILLA!!!

AFTER A COOL 30 MINUTES OF MIXED CARDIO...  BURPEES, JUMP ROPES, JACK KNIVES, AND PULL UPS...

IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!

ALOHA FRIDAY IS HERE!!!

ALOHA FLEX FRIDAY!!!

CROSSFIT...  ITS A LIFESTYLE!!!

AND BACK TO THE POOL AGAIN...

AND THAT IS HOW I ENDED MY "ALOHA FRIDAY!!!"

THE VERY NEXT DAY IT WAS BIRTHDAY FUN FOR BREANNA!!!

YUMMY FILIPINO FOODS AND LAUGHTERS TO THE END...  I WON'T MENTION NAMES BUT I DID HAVE A BLAST ROLE PLAYING AN ASSUMED MARRIES COUPLE...  LOL!!!
