Back from LA... pua'i(barf)

So I just got back from LA this afternoon and I'm not feeling all that well-but much better the longer I've been home(I think it was the Cheescake Fact in Beverly Hills-boooh).

Well here's a basic description of the trip that I'll elaborate on later I hope.

Tues: at the airport there was an irritz lady who was a nuisance to the musicians. LoL First she sits in Musician A's(MA) seat while he's gone and knocks over his drink-which thankfully was pretty much empty. I picked it up 'cause she didn't notice what she did.

Then 2x she knocks over her carryon onto MA, first time he fixes without her noticing, and then later her butt's in the musicians faces as she bends over to fix something in her suitcase. LoL she was an older lady, maybe in her 60's trying to look as young as possible. The musicians' faces were hilarious! One grabs the other to show him what's going on and this all happens in about 5 mins(the butt incident).

Also, on the plane the other guy dancer knocks his monitor, on the seat in front of him, like 5 x out of frustration and the person sitting in the seat turns around to look at what's going on. LoL oops

The flight is soooooooo long 'cause Hawaiian Air doesn't play movies anymore. I ALMOST went crazy. I had no reading material and neither writing material-but I read my BofM on my Itouch for about 15 mins or so. 

Tongan Hawaiian girl spilled her drink on her in the beginning of the flight and it was sooooo funny! LoL

adding to my body

Well my body still doesn't look like the temple I want but I had a great time doing Insanity this morning at 4:45 am. Yeah... I know it's a bit early but me and my friends are getting used to it and it helps when friends are doing it together.

A chapel in Kahuku does it T, Th, and Sat mornings and surprisingly we've been making once a week so far. LoL I think we'll get better with our attendance. My stomach is growling yet I don't feel hungry and I know I shouldn't be because I'm releasing gas meaning there is food my body is still working with from yesterday. So... maybe I'll look for fruits.

Alright well I'm excited for my trip to LA, which is really short, but not sure what I'll be doing for exercise since my little brother uses my shoes for his vball practices. Maybe swimming at the hotel instead? Anyways, I gtg google what cool places are around the hotel we'll be staying at-and finishing downloading music on to my itouch. Peace!

If my body's a temple, then shouldn't it look like one? LoL

So I'll keep this short-I'm trying to get in shape for a trip I'll be going on for work to LA. LoL It's mostly my stomach I've been trying to get rid of and what do you know? Cutting out carbs and eating mostly fruits, veggies, and meat can help do just that. 


Since August of 2010 I've been SLOWLY changing the way I eat. I drink 2-3 liters of water a day, MAYBE juice/soda once a week, and have managed to eat AT LEAST HALF of what I did before-especially since I'm older and the metabolism is coming to a halt. I've also been doing Insanity at least once a week, jogged a couple times last week on the beach, and been VERY conscious of what I eat.


The bottom line is, and I've thought this a few months back, we're taught in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints(aka the Mormon church) that our bodies are temples-so no drugs, no alcohol, no promiscuous behavior, etc. But what about OBESITY and the kinds of food we put in our bodies? Or lack of exercise? Or lack of sleep? Too many people in my Polynesian community just let themselves go and now the in-thing for the older adults is to get gastric bypass(and my friends call them cheaters haha).


If our bodies are temples, let's not over do it with the food people. Yeah yeah some might say it's our culture, but the gospel culture trumps any other. Make a change starting today. It's not easy-it took me 6 months to get where I am today and I expect it will be an ongoing issue for me the rest of my life. I want to be able to play with my kids and grandkids. I don't want to be hot all the time, confined to a wheel chair, and/or sweating from walking up a flight of stairs.


1 Corinthians 3:16-17 
16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.


I know verse 17 sounds harsh... but I like to think of it as how sacred, special, and important our bodies are.
