My lunch matched my shirt hehe. I had an açaí smoothie that contained: 1c soy milk, 1 Samazon açaí frozen packet, 1 frozen banana, 1c frozen mixed berries, 1T hemp seeds, a little drizzle of honey, and 6 ice cubes. You can add more ice cubes depending on the consistency and I highly recommend using frozen fruit for smoothies so you’re actually drinking a smoothie rather than a drink with the consistency of juice. This is one of my favorite smoothies and I also recommend using 1/2c apple juice with 1/2c soy milk instead of just soy milk for flavor but if you want less sugar stick to almond or soy milk.

These are all goals I’ve been wanting to accomplish for a long time. I feel like I am able to truly accomplish my goals once I write them down. I also find that making goals is more helpful for me than making resolutions. However it doesn’t stop me from making and thinking about which resolutions I should make. 

This is one of my favorite dinners ever I eat this all the time. Brett showed me this combo and it’s simple yet genius. I can’t get enough of my hummus on toast pesto spicy veggie burgers. I toasted a Roman’s honey oat slice of bread then topped it with pesto then hummus. I just microwaved a morning star chipotle 1/4 pound veggie burger (my favorite frozen veggie burger ever!!) in a paper towel until it was cooked enough and put it on the toast. Topped it all off with Tapatio sauce and then you have perfection. On the side I had the rest of the organic Kirkland hummus cup with baby carrots. For a drink I had a little bit of pomegranate juice with some peach pear La Coix. I prefer Perrier with pom juice but close enough. If you try this combo let me know if you love it!!

After lunch I️ shortly had snacked on this chocolate brownie protein bar from Costco Kirkland brand. This bars are comparable to quest bars and have only 1g of sugar! I highly recommend these bars I love both chocolate brownie and chocolate chip cookie dough flavors. They help give me a little treat that actually satisfies my hunger instead of just giving me quick sugar that only leaves me wanting more!

I like to do circuit training and target certain areas of my body using the Nike Training workout app. Lifting weights is what gives me the most effective work out. Each exercise is dependent on what part of my body I’m trying to target. I like to split the days up into push (back), pull (chest), core, and legs. I can make a workout video if anyone is interested! 

I'm not sure what I want to do with my life. I just know I'm not happy right now. I thought it might mean I don't want to be a doctor. But I think it might just be the way I'm going about it. I haven't been able to focus this semester and I felt like I was drowning in the seven courses I signed up for this semester. All I know is that I want to be happy so changes are about to happen.

At the end of this month Family Feud is flying out my family and I to Atlanta, Georgia to compete on the show!!! This has been on my bucket list for awhile and I can’t believe it’s actually happening! We made an audition tape and sent it in a few months ago, and two months they got back to us and told us that we were going to be put in their active files. I didn’t want to say anything until I knew we were for sure going to compete on the show. Well about two weeks ago they gave us a call and told us that they picked a time for us to be filmed and that’s from 5/23-5/29!! If any of you wanna see the audition tape, I’ll be more than happy to post it on my blog. I also will be documenting the whole experience so I can share it with you and remember it forever. I just want to say that this has taught be that dreams do come true, you just have to be brave enough to do it. And when I didn’t think this could be more exciting, Family Feud told us we are the first family from Hawaii to ever be on the show! AND the local news wants to do two segments on my family, one before we compete and one after we get back from Georgia.
