Our next mom spotlight introduces us to Eva, who you may have seen at class lately taking photos of everyone sweating.Eva writes:
"I guess since I am taking pictures of everyone and invading people's privacy, hahaha, I should let people know a little about me.
My name is Chi Fung, but almost everyone calls me Eva. "Chi" means smart, and "Fung" means "unpredictable like the wind," so I guess I'm smart and unpredictable. I got the name Eva from my uncle, after he noticed how everyone was butchering my Chinese name. Eva means "doll-faced."
I was born in Hong Kong, but moved to Hawaii when I was 4 years old, and pretty much have lived here most of my life. I graduated from the Universuty of Hawaii at Manoa with a B.Ed in Elementary Education, and taught 6th grade English at Kalakaua Middle School for 2 years. I am currently on leave to take care of Logan.
My hobbies include eating (who doesn't?!), sleeping (whenever possible) and trying new things as much as possible.
Before I had Logan I helped coach my high school's wrestling and judo team. I'm also nationally certified as a judo referee. Back in the day, I was wrestling Eastern Division and OIA League champion and State Runner-up. I also competed nationally in judo tournaments. The last tournament I competed in was the Collegiate Judo National Tournament in Chicago, and placed 4th in my weight class.
I love Stroller Strides! I first learned about SS on FitTV while I was pregnant, and was ecstatic when I found out there was a SS in Kapolei (courtesy of Logan's pediatrician's office). I love how SS motivates all the moms to work out and children to get up and move. I love how it brings everyone together by having fun activities like beach days, playgroups and ESPECIALLY Mom's Night Out. With all this motivation, I know that I will be able to reach my fitness goals with the help of STROLLER STRIDES!
Gabe, Logan and Eva
