Day 6 of 30 day Challenge

Spot on for all 3 of the things I challenged myself on. No Soda Read the scriptures and walked a mile. See how tomorrow and Monday go since I am off. Good Night

Day 5 of 30 day challenge

Ok another day with out Soda.  I also read from the scriptures as well as doing my 1 mile walk.  The right knee was a little sore but not as bad as it could have been,

Work was so so. having some issues that make me question how much longer I can work at the service desk.  After an incident there I started getting anxiety which I hate.  The funny thing about anxiety is it is your mind blowing things out of proportion.  I see a lot of stuff that needs to be cleaned and I feel like I can't get to it all and that will mean I have failed.  Even though I was able to get food and General Merchandise Claims back to the claims department. I was also able to clean up the go backs except for clothes. Any ways good night.

Official day 4 of 30 day Challenge.

Since I messed up on my count yesterday was day three today is day 4.  I skipped Soda, Walked my mile and read from the scriptures.

Had a lot on my mind today. Not going to write about it but I will put up a quote from Rod Fuhriman. I served in the same mission and he was in my first district even though he had a different companion. this is the quote  "You are a good man, Brian. I saw something in you some 30+ years ago as a missionary in Fallbrook, CA that inspired me to be a better person, more humble and more faithful. Keep your chin up my friend, you are worth more than you can possibly imagine"

Our faith does need to change as we grow older. We have to continually nurture it because otherwise it fades.

Another thought was from a talk by President Nelson. It described the Greek new testament word for repentance. Metanoeo. The prefix meta means change and the suffix noeo means mind knowledge/mind/spirit or breath. A bit more eye opening when I read that. It gave me a different perspective on why I repent. It is to change me, and by changing me making me better.  Any ways good night.

Day 4 of 30 day Challenge

Ok no soda, walked my mile, and read the scriptures. All before I started work. I decided it might be a better idea to not do it when I get home from work but in the morning when I am not as beat up.  Customers were mostly behaved at work today which is a good thing.  I have someone who wanted to join me in the 30 day challenge.  Might have to send her a reminder.

Day 2 of 30 day Challenge.

OK. It is Day 2 of my 30 Day Challenge.  I forgot to post a weigh in yesterday to see if it would make a difference by not drinking Soda. Currently at 211 lbs.
Did I make it with out drinking soda? Check.  Did I do my one mile walk? Check. Yes I did read my scriptures also.
Did have a little bit of a head ache and I was also tempted to get a coke because I was so tired but I avoided it. Any ways that is my report for today.

30 day challenge.

OK. Sometimes you need to take a step bake and see how you can make a few tweaks to your life for better results.  I am in that position right now.
I have given myself a 30 day challenge that includes a few tweaks.
1. No soda for 30 days.
2. One mile brisk walk daily.
3. Try to be consistent in my scripture reading.
There are other things I could focus on but these are the big 3 I want to try for thirty days. I am counting today as the start date even though yesterday I stopped the soda. This counts as 2 days with out Soda. I did do a mile walk today also. Scriptures I will read tonight before I go to bed. I will count this as a successful day today and I can say I accomplished something.
There are also some other things I have done today. I did go through a lot of stuff to trash or otherwise put in a proper place.  I did brush my teeth which is not always an easy thing for me to remeber to do today and I also worked out besides the walk I did. Eating still needs a little work though but that is a side issue.

05/29/2019

Maybe I need to start this up again as a form of therapy.  Too many things are starting to fill up the bucket so to speak. Yesterday was a good example. I asked several times for a break after lunch one time I was told I just needed to get this one person done and I could go. At the time no one was behind her but then while helping the customer several more show up so no break. Then I think I can take one before I go home. I make a quick run and Get food claims dumped then One cart of GM claims.  I get back up front to drop the cart off and a fill in CSM, who will go nameless unless I talk to a manger above her or HR, decides I need to help a customer instead so my least 15 minutes are standing around waiting for a cashier to get this gal rung up. Knee was killing me and I was in a very grumpy mood. By the time I helped the customer out and got back to the store I was 5 minutes over. So some where i need to take a 15 minute break and didn't get one. 4 and a half hours strait no break. UGGGHHHH
