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"

A year ago
Is it really two more days til I turn 20?. Wow....
If any of you would of asked what were my plans when I turned 19. I would of said finishing losing the weight, send mission papers in August and then leave.
And now a year ahead, here I am.. not on my mission yet and although at first I was disappointed about that. I got discourage in 2012, I wasn't working out everyday in the week, which then lead to not working out for weeks at a time.
I tired to get back into working out couple of times, and each time it lead to the same thing.
when 2013 rolled around, my plan was to send my papers in April... that didn't worked out either.
But here are the good things that happened.
I made some amazing friends from the YSA branch
I kept the weight off which I have already lost
A friend of mine from the branch told me , he left late for his mission
if he were to leave when he turned 19, he would of been done with his "mission" before even leaving for his real mission, in his real mission he said there were people there that needed to hear the Gospel by him.
April of this year when I got discourage and was mad with myself for not leaving already
I had a feeling to read my Patriarchal blessing...
and in it said I would be able to serve a fulltime mission at the appropriate time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By reading that I got so much peace.
I know I'll be able to go on my mission, it's not at the time I had in mind, but rather it will be in Heavenly Father's time
Isaiah 55:8-9 "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the Lord.
For as the Heavens are higher then the earth, so are my ways higher then your ways, and my thoughts then your thoughts"
I won't know until I go on my mission, but just some things I have thought about.
The mission age requirements have changed for the guys from 19 to 18. (note not recommended for everyone to go then, just getting that out there)
But maybe one of my companion(s) I'll have on my mission is one of the 18 year's old, or there's someone out there that needs to hear the Gospel from me and their not ready to hear it yet
or that there is just no room in the mission I'm suppose to be in.
My plan is to get my call in September, I have been working out and I have been losing weight, I have a good feeling that this is it :)
A friend of mine from the branch have worked out with me couple of times per week, not lately just because he has been busy a little.
Although I'm not 100% done with this trial, (I haven't left yet) I have seen blessings come of it, mostly the amazing friends I have gotten to know from the branch. if you're new to the blog and haven't read much of anything yet, I have Asperger's Syndrome and it's hard to be social, so being able to make and keep the friends I have here is amazing.
I know that Heavenly Father has a plan for everyone, he has a plan for me and I'm going threw that plan, even at times when I didn't know I was.
If things don't go you're way, keep going.. you wouldn't know at the time but God is leading you in life, he has a plan for you
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it :)

Five Hour Evaluation
Today I had a evaluation.. why did I need a evaluation?
Because I'm in this one program to help people with disabilities find and keep work and things like that.
As you all know who been reading my blog, I have Asperger's Syndrome. The only documents we have saying I have AS is when I was 4 years old, so they wanted to update it
So here we are, today I had it.. it was long, a lot of testing, and questions..
I did good with the visual memory which I always do good with in tests, I scored like a 43 out of 50
I know I did bad with math and some of the reading. If I remember correctly he said the results should be around 9 pages (They didn't just do a evaluation for Asperger's but for everything it seems like)
I'm kind of nervous for what the results will show.. like 9 pages of results?
One part he just had me read some stuff and he listen to how I pronounce the words.
It is hard at times, having AS but I try to see it as a gift, somedays that is very hard to do. when I see other people, my peers just being able to be so socially. I am so grateful for the amazing friends I do have.

Update-- 4/5/13
Well... I haven't been blogging for awhile hah sorry yet again.
Last Wednesday I got my wisdom teeth remove (all 4 of them) the pain is gone, so it's all good.
I hope to get my papers in soon... (geez, how long have I been saying that?) but I'll be starting on the papers once I lose 10 more pounds, then once I lose 20-25 more pounds then I'll send my papers in. If I start within 10 pounds from now then I'll do all the paper work I can do then just leave some small parts when I get to 20-25 pounds lost.
Like getting an interview with my stake president, taking a picture to send in with the papers etc.
A friend of mine from the single branch will be coming over once or twice a week to work out. lifting weights or go hike badger mountain, we have already worked out once but then I had my wisdom teeth taken out and this weekend is General Conference so we're waiting for next week. I'll be working out on the other days
Last night (Thursday) there was a branch dinner at the union building (the stake center) it's about 2 miles and a half away from where I live, so I though I would go for a walk/jog it was nice and sunny when I left the house. Half way there it started to rain and rain some more, my shirt was soaking wet.
It was pretty funny I though hah
I'm really excited for General Conference, I love listening to the talks. I get counsel and guidance
If you go to Conference with a question.. it will be answered. during the last General Conference I had a question and it was answered.
Endure to the end, stay strong in the Gospel and you won't regret it

Update 2/20/13
oh wow, it's the 20th of February already?, time is going by fast and April is getting closer.
I got to admit last week wasn't a good week... I only worked out a couple of times and weight went up as well. but this week I been working out and lost 2lbs already. I been watching videos of people opening they're mission calls, I can't wait until it's my turn!.
I been trying to figure out where I'll be going on my mission but I still have no clue hah, anywhere God needs me I'll go. by April I should lose 70lbs in total which is pretty amazing. I'll look even more different by then.
I been enjoying my mission prep classes and the YSA branch.. I should be studying the scriptures more, I haven't read any for a couple of days and I really should.... so I'll do it today :)
Still trying to find a job, I applied at Taco Bell and Carl Jr, even though I didn't really want to work fast foods.. I need a job, I need the money so I'll take it. no luck so far I tired calling to check up and got nothing. Hopefully I'll get one of the jobs they are hiring so you would think I would already gotten it.
Here is a Mormon message youth video, I love them even though I'm not a "youth" anymore but I think they're just amazing. this one is about the Atonement
