Mommy Fitness Blog: Sick from Exhaustion

June 28, 2011

I’m sick from exhaustion right now. I’ve been busy every single day – from white water rafting, bowling, a luau pool party, family party, birthdays, meetings, meet ups….my to do list is endless. I’m so tired. Mentally I just feel completely drained. Yesterday my husband went to Yosemite with his girls, which left me with the boys. I dropped them off at my mom’s house for just and hour so I can run errands and go to my carehomes –…

My Mother’s Life Lessons

June 28, 2011

June 28, 2011 We celebrated my mother, Caroline Kang’s 50th Birthday this past weekend. She had over 230 guests attend a grand celebration accompanied with an open bar, chocolate fountain, photo booth and live band. Many people who walked into the ballroom Saturday night could instantly sense the opulence symbolized in the table setting, floral arrangements and formal-wear of the guests. It’s easy to look at our family and presume we’ve lived an easy and affluent life. But that is…

Mommy Fitness Blog: Confidence. Discipline. Practice.

June 16, 2011

It’s 3:20pm. I have approximately one hour to get ready before I am off again – I decided to plan a fun night out for my girlfriend, Stephanie, who eloped a few months ago and will be hosting her reception in July. It’s going to be SO much fun! But I will keep the details hidden since she MAY read this. Right now is also the moment Nicholas finally decided to take a nap – after HOURS of teething and…

Resonating with the world..

June 16, 2011

June 15, 2011 When I met Emily ten years ago as a new trainer at 24 hour fitness we rarely interacted with each other. In fact, I can’t recall exchanging two sentences with her.  It was by fate that I ran into her around 9am two years ago at the same gym we first became trainers. We exchanged numbers and I hired her as my coordinator for Fitness without Border’s middle school fitness program.  Since then, we’ve developed a friendship…

Parental Sacrifice

June 8, 2011

June 7, 2011 It’s an amazing experience to watch a childhood friend become ordained as a Catholic priest. I’ve know Father Brian Soliven since attending fifth grade with him at Franklin Elementary. Not only was he a friend of my brother, but he was also someone I fondly remember swooning over when I was a little girl. It’s interesting that we continued our paths to the same junior high school, the same high school and even the same college. While…

Mommy Fitness Blog: Meet my little baby

June 6, 2011

I had a 12-week appointment today and was so excited to see the little body of my newest baby!! He/She was very active. I saw the body turn and the arm move – regardless of how many pregnancies I have it’s always exciting to see a baby growing in your tummy!!!! My weight is ‘progressing’ normally, my blood pressure is 96/57 and I’m in really good health. I told her about my back issues and she said that it may…

Power of prayer

June 2, 2011

June 1 , 2011 I’ve been inconsistent about updating this site. No surprise since my entire life for the past couple months have been marred with inconsistencies. I don’t exercise regularly, my eating is sporadic, my schedule is volatile and my emotions are unpredictable. While I naturally despise a routine-life’ it is in fact my small routines that keep me sane on a daily basis. An Acupuncturist treated my chronic back pain today. When I say chronic, I mean it’s…
