Day 9 of 30 day challenge

OK made it through day 9 with all three goals met.  It was not really too bad a day at work so I was Happy. I just need to get through the next two then I have 5 days off. YEA!!!

Was glad Marge came back. She had surgery to replace a hip.  Other wise there is nothing else really to talk about. Have a good evening.

Day 8 of 30 Day Challenge.

Managed another day of Reading Scriptures, Taking a Mile Walk and no SOda.

It can sometimes be the small things that lead to great things.  Each Battle won is something to feel accomplished about. I am also trying to think about what my next 30 day challenge will be.  More Vegetables would not be a bad thing. Maybe up my walk to 1.5 miles.  Still thinking about that so I will let you know when I get closer.

Day 7 of 30 day challenge

It is a Sunday and it was a little harder to get in the 1 mile walk but I did. It was also Another day with out Soda in my life. This is kind of important since one of the CSMs was talking about some surgeries she is getting and it was because she drank Dr Pepper every day for 25 years.  The Last one was for the Scriptures. Easy to do on Sundays because it is the Sabbath and at some point you will need to read from them.

Speaking of Sundays. It looks like our ward, Draper 9th, will be moving to a 12 pm meeting time. I think it is so we have more meeting space for the Sunday School and Priesthood/Relief Society meetings to have room.  The ward is more Adult oriented and we have over 100 Priesthood men in attendance and probably about the same number of sisters if not more.  Not sure if it would happen but we could easily have two Elders Quorums but with our current schedule it would be hard to pull but with more rooms open since we are the last ward with no over lap we could have 2 different rooms. I am also excited. I have been blessed to have Brother Riddle as my minister.  It will be humbling to have him.

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.
