So i decided to stop being lazy and start posting after a weekend of fun, love, and inspiration. im just gonna jump right into it and start with what has been going on with me as of late.
I am LDS (Mormon) and as a male in the LDS church, we have a priest hood duty to serve a 2 year mission to invite people to Christ and to hear the restored Gospel. Young men between the ages of 19-25 have that time frame to serve a mission. I am 25 years old and turn 26 on the 6th of March. So i don't have much time to left if i want to serve a mission.
Part of serving a mission is undergoing a physical evaluation amongst other things. To make a long story short, there is a weight requirment due to the physical aspect of the mission.Walking and riding a bike up and down hills as well as far distances, requires me to have an able body to do so.
The last year or so, i have been trying to eat well and work out. I have some success but i found out just the other night that unfortunatly i need to lose more weight. 100 pounds more. Once I do that, then I get my call and off for "2 years to help change the world". I don't have much time, i have about 4 months MAX!
So this is my current trial right now. This is also the first time in my life that i know, even know in my bones that I can do it.
I have led a life of giving up when times get tough. School, sports, work, church...everything. If you gave me a dime for every time i gave up on something, i would be the richest man on earth!
As this blog progresses, you will learn more about me through my efforts of becoming the person who i really am.
Go Sean!!!! :) I'm so proud of you!!
