I AM BACK! NOW AN UPDATE!

I still have plans to do the military. My issue has been getting my true waste line measurements and weight number down.

I am somewhat annoyed with the fact that in the past I asked my parents to hook me up with a Gym membership. I figured they would have said YES for reasons that in the past that had bought gym memberships for my other siblings.

Sadly they said NO!! 👿

I told them that I wanted the gym membership so that I could get down to the proper measurements for the military. It’s like they are supportive of the idea of Military but their actions seem to prove otherwise.

My oldest brother got back home from teaching English in another country. Since he has gotten back home he has been lounging in his room, watching T.V. and wearing his pajamas most of the day.

My parents offered him a gym membership : He has money to buy his own. He would benefit from losing some weight but it is not a requirement for a potential career.

I recently bought a new diet book and asked for groceries for this diet. My parents gladly got me food that lasted the first week and partly into the 2nd week. I ran out of the food required to fulfill all the meal plans

I made a grocery list of things that I would need to continue with my meal plans and put it on the fridge. It has been there for well over a week. They have not gotten these items for me.

Now I am required to try my best to follow the guidelines of the book as opposed to following the meal plans that are laid out.

I make a grocery list and nothing happens but whenever my older brother wants some ice cream to fulfill his sweet tooth IT’S OFF TO THE STORE THEY GO!! :thumbdown:

I kind of get the feeling that they don’t want me to succeed. Perhaps there is some kind of a double standard between their Oldest Son and the Youngest.

Regardless of the reasons it only fuels my desires to succeed even more. This way I can say that I achieved my goals ON MY OWN!

Once I’m down to the proper weight numbers I can start the process to join the military. I can fulfill my goal of leaving Washington State before the age of 30.

Sadly I am already 4 years past my personal goals to be out on my own. The downward spiral of the local economy has made that tough for me.

I guess I can get both the moving out goal and leaving the State at the same time.

I have lost weight with the diet book I’ve been using. Hopefully I can get down the rest of the way.

BY HOOK OR BY CROOK I WILL :think:

My last post was a bit of a rant post. I was able to go to Costco with my mother to get some of the main items I needed to continue with my diet.

Today I began to think a bit about all the things that I have read about the interesting side of church history. I thought about the church as it is today and I wondered and pondered if I really wanted to stay. I decided that I shouldn’t make my decision on the church as it was in the covered wagon days but that I should make my decision based on the organization as it is today. I should not wonder if I can fit into the church but rather I should wonder how the church can fit me.

Earlier I had members of my Clan come visit and we went to see a local band at a bar. I drank and I drank too much too fast. Everything didn’t stop spinning until the next day. :crazy: Luckily I drank enough water to prevent a full on hangover.

Normally if I do drink I will limit myself to 1 or 2 drinks. At a party the glass is always refilled. Everyone else has earned the ranks of a heavy drinker and it takes many drinks for them to get buzzed. I am such a light weight that I am buzzed after one drink and everything feels numb and spinning after about 4.

If I was at a church game party the hardest thing they would ever serve is Dr. Pepper. I can’t get drunk off that.

I was thinking about this at church today. I didn’t stick around much longer past sacrament meeting. I had many things on my mind and I decided to take a walk. Luckily for me I don’t wear a traditional suit. Normally it’s a dressy grey sports coat or my trusty tuxedo jacket with a black shirt, tie and grey pants. underneath my black shirt is a regular T shirt. In the past I have just taken off my jacket, tie and black shirt and threw them in my trunk. I am free to go wherever I want without looking too churchy. Today I just put my jacket in the trunk along with the tie. I unbuttoned the top button of my black shirt and un tucked it.

Sometimes I get more out of Sunday when I walk somewhere else.

It is hard to stick around when I’ve heard the same lesson time and time again. It is even harder for me to listen to the same comments from someone who truly believes in everything. I dislike the comments that people seem to be overly snobby and self righteous. It is like they are trying to teach everyone else to live by their example. :sick:

I will still try to make it a point to go to Sacrament but beyond that I can’t make any promises. I kind of feel like the last remaining 2 hours could be spent doing something else. :yawn:

Sundays seem to be more like a copied day that is forever re looped. I think it is okay to change the channel from time to time.

I am okay with going to the other activities and the interactions at those activities seem more real. People act differently when they are dressed in workout gear playing a sport. :clap:
