Hey readers, well it's the 23rd of June now... and I am still in the high 290's.
This last two weeks I have been doing everything right, been working out, 4.31 miles each day (probably only missed 2-3 days from those two weeks, not counting not working out on Sundays) and a couple times doing P90X aswell and eating right. I did lost one pound it showed for this week but later on in the week I gain it back.
This as you can imagine is really discouraging. I have talked to my mom about this and she told me the weight probably doesn't want to leave, so the weight I have lost turn into water (or something along those lines, I forgot) anyways and she said that by the 3rd or 4th week it will show I have lost a lot of weight and all will be fine...
I hope that this is what going on, because I want my mission call here before the 3rd Sunday of August, even if I'm only around 270 pounds I'll still send in my papers. it takes a couple of weeks for it to come and then I'll still have a couple of weeks before I even leave to go on my mission.
By the time I leave I hope I'll be around 250-230. but right now it is just all really discouraging
I won't be able to go jogging for a little while, my feet are flat and I have ruined my shoes, even though I have some arch supports now, it is to late for the shoes and they give me blisters etc by wearing them. I can still do P90X and eat healthy, which hopefully will work with losing weight.. I hope so, so much because it's July soon and then August and oh man it's just getting to close already and I'm still in the high 290's, I got to get to at least the 270's before I will send in my papers
Although I haven't lost weight (From what the scale tells me) I think my church pants fit a little better then before, I hope that is the case and it's not me thinking they do.
This is a really hard trial I'm going threw, by the end I'll grow in many different parts of life. but in the mist of this trial it is just really hard and I want out, I just want to be on my mission already. but all I can do is keep on working out.
Endure to the end stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

As the days go by
As the days go by... I wonder if I'll be able to lose 30 pounds by the end of July.
There are 52 days and 30 pounds to lose.
To have my mission call come in August before the 3rd Sunday, when it's linger longer at the branch (A dinner we have at the YSA branch, on the 3rd Sunday of every month)
I would like to read my call at the linger longer.. to let everyone know from the branch where I have gotten my call to serve
Of course I'll be opening my call when it comes, with family and a couple of friends.. but I would like to announce it at the dinner.. I'm just worried that the 3rd week of August will be here sooner then I know it and I won't have lost the amount of weight which I would like to lose. I will work as hard as I can to lose weight each week, so far it has been going good. I have lost around 3-4 pounds this week
If I keep at it, and don't let the amount of days and weight discourage me I can do it... and I WILL do it. going on a mission will be amazing and getting my call will be awesome because it's one step closer.
I got a pair of workout clothes for my birthday (They are awesome :D) tomorrow I will use them. On Saturdays some people from the YSA branch play basketball in the mornings so I'll be jogging to the building which is like a little over a mile and then play basketball.. I'm looking forward to Saturdays
I need to believe in myself that I can do it, and I will do it. I said this in multiples posts but I just need to take it one day at a time, one week at a time and one month at a time.
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

A working out experience.
I'll like to share an experience I had while I was sweating a lot during a P90X workout.
I'm trying to lose weight, and when I work out.. I sweat, when anyone work out they sweat. A friend of mine said "When you sweat it's the fat crying"
Now I'm overweight we all know that, I have fat.. pounds to lose.
I'm getting rid of the fat, I'm removing it away from me.
the experience I had was this.
You sweat, the fat cries.
You keep the commandments of God and being worthy and Satan "cries"
He wants to bring us down to where he is, he knows how to drag us down to where he is.
As I'm getting rid of the weight, the extra body fat, we must get rid of Satan and his grasp from us.
Everyone has body fat in order to live, we are all tempted by Satan. Why are we tempted by Satan?
D&C 29:39 "And it must needs be that the devil should tempt the children of men, or they can not be agents unto themselves; for if they never should have bitter they could not know the sweet"
As I'm working out, and eating less and eating foods I should that will get the pounds to go away
To get Satan to go away is this.
Hold on to the Iron Rod
Nephi 15:24 "And I said unto them that it was the word of God; and whoso would hearken unto the word of God, and would hold fast unto it, they would never perish; neither could the temptations and the fiery farts of the adversary overpower them until blindness, to lead them away to destruction."
To make it so Satan doesn't have power over us, we need to hold fast unto the words of God, we need to read the scriptures, we need to study, to ponder, we NEED to.
Alma 34:39 "Yea, and I also exhort you, my brethren, that ye be watchful unto prayer continually, that ye may not be led away by the temptations of the devil, that he may not overpower you, that ye may not become his subjects at the last day; for behold, he rewardeth you no good thing."
Ephesians 6:13 "Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand"
Stand against Satan, make it so he is there because he is real.. but that he won't have power over you
I'm losing the extra body fat so I can go on my my mission, so I can be happier in life.. so I can live life.
I'm removing as much as I can that will be healthy in the end.
Make our lives so Satan is scared of us, and therefore he will not tempt us because he knows he'll lose.
If we let our guard down, he will sneak attack us, he'll get us when we're not looking.
Always be on guard, if you slip and get off guarded don't worry.. there is Jesus Christ's Atonement
I'm not perfect.. no one is perfect expect for Jesus Christ himself, but we can strive to be perfect... we can strive to live as Jesus Christ lived.
I'm trying to be on guard, I'm trying to be the son my Heavenly Father sees in me.. I'm trying... and I'll keep on trying. I plan on reading my scriptures everyday, I have came up with something to do each week and I'll let you guys know what it is after I have done it for a month or two.
If you have fallen and don't think you can ever be forgiven from your sins, I'll ask you to study the Atonement.. in the end you're love for Jesus Christ will grow for he truly did died for our sins, so we can live with him and our Heavenly Father again.. if you think you're not worthy to use the Atonement you do not know the Atonement. you do not understand it, if that is the case.. then study it and use it, for it's a precious gift.
If we will work towards having power over Satan, his temptations will cease to bother us
As I work towards losing the extra body fat, it will go away.
Helaman 5:12 "And now my sons, remember, remember that is is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ the Son of God, that ye must build foundation, that when the devil shall send his forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwinds, yea when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall"
