This is what I been missing!
doing the treadmill, it works the best I believe, I'm always sweatier doing it and feel great when I'm done
I remember a couple of years ago when I tired losing the weight before then I did the treadmill for a week and lost 7lbs
I always failed trying to lose the weight before but not this time, I will conquer it. going on a mission will be a dream for me and be the best two years of my life.
Last week I was mad with myself because the results of last week, but after a couple days to look back at it, I lost 2lbs, I did not gain 2lbs, therefore that was a win for me.
Life will always have ups and downs, when you're in the down part try to change you're mood, think of uplifting and happy things in life.
My plan of being done on May 9th for the BBQ at mutual, will not come true, there is less days then there is weight to lose, but I will be half way done by then I hope.. and if not, then I'll look better then I do now.
Scripture of the day: - Alma 26:12
"Yea, I know that I am nothing; as to my strength I am weak; therefore I will not boast of myself, but I will boast of my God, for in his strength I can do all things; yea, behold, many mighty miracles we have wrought in this land, for which we will praise his name forever."
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

Update 2/19/12
I'm sorry I haven't post for awhile, just this week has been kinda different.
I started the P90X diet to go along with my working out, it been going good, the diet is called "Fat Shredder"
I'm on the level 2 (there's 3 different diets and in each diet their 3 levels, you can choose whichever level and diet suits you).
I was pushing myself to hard this week, I was doing the "Mother of all workouts" everyday along with another workout or two. By Friday I was exhausted and couldn't work out, I really wanted to see a big loss on the scale this week but it only showed 2pounds less.
in the P90X booklet I saw that you are trading fat for body mass, and I can see changes taking place, my arms are getting big with muscles, my legs/calf area as well.
But I want the weight to be gone already, I would like to start on my mission papers but can't right now because of my weight.
For mutual we're having a BBQ for the seniors in high school.. I will be one of them and this is taking place on May 9th which is 80 days from now.. I would like to be done by then but I probably can't, by losing 2pounds a week, no way I'll be done by then.
My birthday is 102 days away I don't even think I'll be done by then, I would like to be done it's my 19th birthday I would like to celebrate my birthday with friends and so on.
I planned on losing 5-7pounds which week, but no not happening right now and I'm just so mad with myself.
My plan was to be done with the weight in March, but can't do that now cause it's to close, it was my plan before the holidays and when I stop working out for a couple of days, therefore I moved it to May 9th for the BBQ, but it's 80days away and I don't see it happening, hopefully this week will be better.

John Rowe Moyle story
Readers, as I been thinking what to blog about, this video came to mind, it is a true story of a pioneer who was "Only a Stonecutter"
If we can have his determination of fulling our callings, how great will our life's be?.
It doesn't even end at our callings, what about who we are?..
Brothers and Sisters I have thought to myself "I'm only Michael"
I am wrong with what I think of myself.. I'm a child of God and he loves me and he had sent me here on the earth at this time for a reason.
And I'm finding out what my reason is, it's to be there for people, I have said this in previous posts.. but I want you all to know, that you are here for a reason too, you have to find it, I believe everyone on this earth has a mission.
We may get down at times, but just remember our Heavenly Father loves us all, he wants us to be able to live with him again.
In 2010 I believed I was just "Michael" nobody important, nobody who my Father in Heaven was proud of.
You can read about this in this post Priest/Laurel Conference 2010
My friends were right, I wasn't just "Michael" neither was Brother Moyle was "Only a stonecutter"
Brothers and Sisters, we can matter in people life's. I have seen it... even a simple smile can cheer someone up, you don't know what their going threw, maybe they needed that smile.. talk to them, I know what it felt like to be alone, and that's why I want to help people, I never want them to feel the pain I felt, if you are feeling this way, you can always talk to me.
There was this General Conference talk which I loved from the 2011 October session You Matter To Him

Update 1/30/12
Hello readers,
Ever since the holidays I been on and off with working out, I do it one day for a couple of hours, then nothing for three days or more, my life was going down, I wasn't happy with doing that, I was 8pounds away from breaking 20lbs before the holidays and since, I been going down and up in weight, now I'm 10 pounds away from breaking that 20lbs.
I have moved my goal up to April, it was March but because of the holidays I had to move it.
I know I'll be done by then, I do not want to move it up any further, April is the month.
Going to bed at 9pm, waking up at 6:30, do 2hours of working out then later in the afternoon I do 1-2 more hours. it's tough because I am not a morning person I hated getting up today, but felt good after those two hours... I'll be able to do it, endure to the end I will.
I plan not going to any church dances until April, I want to surprise my friends with my new body, wouldn't you?, those thoughts is what keeps me going and the biggest one so far is entering into the MTC.. you have no idea how much I desire to be a missionary, to teach God's children.
On Sunday then I was just watching people open their mission calls on youtube, I can't wait until I get my call in the summer, I'll be making a video of it while I open my call and I'll be inviting friends over to be there when I open it, so amazing I can't wait!
2012 will probably be my best year yet, losing the weight, hanging with friends in the summer and heading off on mission in the fall

100-year anniversary of seminary
I went to the 100th year anniversary broadcast last night at my stake center, it was a very powerful setting and I have learned some things from going.
It's amazing to listen to stories of the youth how seminary has blessed their lives, there was a video during the broadcast which I loved so much
I felt the spirit testified to me that this church is God's true church and my testimony grew more.
I do seminary at home and it's not as good as in a class setting, I follow the manual and answer the questions, I learn somethings but I'm not able to have a discussion with what I just read with other youth.
doing seminary at home gets boring and right now I'm behind.. but as I'm preparing for my mission i'm learning so much and to me it adds up, when I did went to seminary class once a week last year, I did liked it sometimes.. but I would just sit in the back and listen and didn't really say anything, I didn't know the people in there so I kept quiet.
This is my last year doing seminary and I can't wait until the seminary graduation, gone to two of them and this time it's my turn!, it should be amazing.
If I could, I would go to seminary everyday but not the high school, it would cost to much to drive there and back so I just do home study with seminary.
This video is how a young man choose to go to seminary had change his life for the better
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

My studying, and good works.
Okay so I have been studying in "Mormon Doctrine" and I read about good works.
I fine it funny how people mock etc, if you may say.. that Mormons do good works.
As I was watching some videos on youtube there was an anti-Mormon video and I post a comment.. the comment I received said the following
"Are you familiar with the bible? Christ condemned the religious practices of the Pharisees & Scribes (Matt 23:1-12). Christ exposed their hypocrisy & self righteousness before thousands of people, which made them very angry. They wanted praise from man for their "good works" rather then giving praise to God. Christ made it clear that good works alone will never please God.
The Mormons act like the Pharisees did, preaching lies, hypocrisy and self righteousness."
My comment was "Yes, I am familiar with the bible, read James 2:15-26... he has yet to reply to my comment and it been more then two weeks.
I don't plan on visiting anymore anti-Mormon videos, because what they say are all lies and false "teachings",
As I been studying more and more, I know that this is truly God's church on the earth, the Book of Mormon and the Bible go together perfectly.
There are two videos I would like to share with you today, one of them is the 2012 mutual theme song, which is an amazing video and I love it so much
