Confort Zone

Today I decided to work out a little harder then normal at the gym. When it was time to do cardio, i Challenged myself and was trying to persevere through what i thought was the work out of my life. lol It was NOT the work out of my life because when i was done, i felt fine, (haha) but my body was happy and I was happy that i stepped out of my Confort Zone and did something i normally didn't do. I grew in the sense that I learned that I can push myself a little harder and i will survive. If I were to push myself a little harder everyday, I will be able to reach my weight loss goal faster!
I know this is a short entry/post but if you really Ponder what Stepping out of your Confront Zone means, great things will come from you doing so!

Crunch time!!

I know, i have been announcing a new post for a while but it's better late then never. I haven't posted because i didn't feel like i had anything of good report. then i thought, whats the point of blogging about my weight loss and mission goal if i don't write about my challenges.
Late November I went to New Orleans for thanksgiving to see my grandma and family! so fun. I came back to LA for a day and off to Utah i went for my friends wedding. As soon as i got back home i jumped right into work. I didn't exercise for almost a month. i was bummed out because it was hard to motivate myself to once again, to eat well and work out. I slacked off big time. So now lets fast forward to what i have been up to the last couple of weeks. I made a mental list of my priorities. GO to bed early, wake up early go to the gym, eat well through out the day and read my scriptures at night. Man, when i plan my day around those things, i have balance and peace in my life. it allows me to enjoy life and make clear to me what things i need to do in order to become the man i want to be. (this may not make any sense to some or most of you so if you want me to elaborate, just let me know. email me at sluevano85@Gmail.com)
I am soo grateful for my religious conviction!! I can't fathom how a person can KNOW of a surety with every fiber of his/her being to know something to be true with out seeing or experiencing it first hand. It is a blessing to have the Holy Ghost bestowed upon us, to give us answers to questions we ask God. James 1:5
It is because of my convictions that I have been trying my best to lose weight and become a healthier person.
I am now starting to believe that there is a connection between having a healthy temple (body) so the spirit can dwell and become more clear in expounding the things the Lord wants me to know and do.
Having said all that, my friends and family, I have a goal to lose 30 pounds by the end of this month! Wish me luck and don't be shy to ask me any question or for me to elaborate or clear up something that i have said.
We will always be pushed to our limits but Never will we be presented with something we can't endure.

Humility, Faith, Diligence and Patience are the keys
(i think) to over come trials and tribulations.
