When an innocent game of whip flip turns into a food fight-free for all!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In my final days here in Salt Lake, and I couldn't be happier. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My journey here in Salt Lake is quickly ending. My feelings are bittersweet.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am grateful for all the incredible people I have met, for the experiences we have shared together, and for the moments that have shaped and moulded me, making me the person I am today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living in the city has been one of the most remarkable and exciting things I have ever experienced.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Attending the LDS Business College was one of the most inspired decisions I have ever made. God lead me to a great school and to incredible people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For that I am eternally grateful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my Father in Heaven and my Savior, Jesus Christ. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that every day that we live worthy, we will be guided and directed to places we'd never imagined, and we will have experiences we could never have dreamed of.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know that this is true, I have a dazzling life to prove it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

As I took a stroll around temple square, I marveled at the beauty all around me.<br />
For two years I have spent the majority of my time living up here in the dazzling city called Salt Lake.<br />
There's a certain comfort that comes with the knowledge of ones path for the future. I have always been 5 or more steps ahead with my plans.<br />
<br />
Not today my friends, not today.<br />
<br />
As startling as it may sound, I have no idea where I will be for the next year and a half of my life. <br />
GOOD NEWS though, the understanding will come in the next 10 days or so, and will come in the form of a big white envelope with my name printed on it!<br />
<br />
<br />
Today I submitted my papers to be a missionary for the <a href="http://mormon.org/">Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints</a>.<br />
When that envelope comes in the mail, it will contain a call to serve and a location of where the service will take place.<br />
<br />
How comforting it is to know that my destination for the next 18 months is completely in Gods hands. I know that He will send me where he needs me most. I know that He is preparing certain people that will change my life, and I know that He is preparing me to change theirs.<br />
<br />
I know that the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints is true. Why else would I have such a strong desire to testify of it? I know that God loves all of his children, and I cannot wait to declare Gods plan for happiness to some wonderful people in some location in the world.<br />
<br />
My life has been truly incredible up to this point, I couldn't have asked for anything more. How exciting it is to know though, that I have even better things to come. We ALL have so much to look forward to. Every day has the potential of becoming our best day so far, and I know already that the next 18 (or so) months of my life will be my best ones yet.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for a video of me opening and reading my call in the next few weeks.<br />
<br />
Enjoy the sunshine this beautiful day!<br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">good golly, it's been a while. Hasn't it?</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Can I just say that this last little stretch of my journey has been quite a difficult one? It has been pretty wild. I have forged my way through the forest of doubt, trudged through the muddy river of failure, and have <b>even</b> climbed the mountain of insane temptation. [Paints a beautiful picture, I know.]</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Needless to say - I've made it through and am ready to keep going. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">You see, I am half way through my journey. I have lost TWENTY-Something pounds... I have made it half way up that mountain, and now have the opportunity to make 1 of 2 choices. I can keep moving forward up the mountain, assured that it will not be easy... but regardless will be worth it once I reach the top. OR I can make the dumb decision of going right back down the mountain, ending in the exact spot where I started. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Right here and now, there is only one obvious thing to do...</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I'm headed back down the mountain.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">HAH Just kidding.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I'VE GOTTA KEEP CLIMBING OF COURSE!</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Now, the old and slightly tired version of me would probably have made the same decision (that is to keep heading up the mountain) The difference between the OLD Sydney and the NEW Sydney is this:</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">ATTITUDE. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I thought of this quote the other day... I think I made it up, but if you know the originator of the quote... then don't tell me because I would prefer to consider myself a genius.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Here is the final message I want to leave with you today:</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>"Change your mentality to change your reality..." </b></span></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">[just give me a fist pump... because we both know that I am smart.]</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Our minds have an insane power to change the way we feel about things. Our mentality will change the actual outcomes of our lives if we believe in the power of our attitude. Think good things about yourself and good things will come of it.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">"Success doesn't bring happiness, HAPPINESS brings success." - from the book <i>The Happiness Advantage</i><br />
<br />
Think positive and you will be able to make it to the top of your mountain with much more ease.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">More to come on this...</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I love you all. Keep the faith!</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I've had a lot of time to sit back and think about the incredible things this last year has brought me. I've had so many opportunities to go out and accomplish many of my greatest life-long goals. It truly was a year filled with "Action" for me. I am grateful that I can look back now and say that I feel I have been successful with my theme for the year - which was "Just do it!" </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">As I continue on into the new year I think I will feel a heightened level of accomplishment and an added desire to continue on with the patterns I set in the year 2011. I know now that I can do anything I set my mind to with the Lord at my side. I am so grateful for the wonderful people who have helped keep me going this year. Including Family, Friends, and those who double as blog readers.<br />
<br />
One of my greatest accomplishments of 2011 was setting a goal to learn to live a healthier lifestyle which in return would help me to lose the weight that I have been holding onto for years. Today as I weighed in I smiled to myself as I looked down to read a weight that was 20 pounds lighter then when I began around <a href="http://lylamaeandlucylou.blogspot.com/2011/09/just-do-it-lose-weight.html">15 weeks ago</a>. Here is a picture of the before and after. The Journey is 15 weeks in progress but is only the beginning of a life-long challenge to live healthy! <br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Now, as I said before, this season has been one of fresh starts and new beginnings for me.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">One of the new beginnings being a new theme for the new year. This year, my focus will be on LOVE.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">This year I want love, gratitute, and optimism to be big parts of my everyday life. I will try to love everything I am involved in. Doing so will bring greater happiness to my life. I will explain more later.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">For now, I wish you all a happy new year! I hope that yours will be filled with happiness and that you will be able to love everything around you. I pray that we can all find joy in our journey this year.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

I think that means winter is quick approaching.<br />
I can almost smell the snowfall that will shortly be upon us.<br />
<br />
Once again, tis the season of love, of giving, of charity. I feel very grateful for the wonderful things that have come into my life this year. The people, the opportunities, the trials.<br />
They all combine to make a wonderful year.<br />
<br />
In addition to the changing of season's and with the coming end of the year means the end of a semester.<br />
A semester which was very much so a blessing.<br />
I'm unaware of whether or not I have stumbled upon the topic of UVU yet, but that is where the majority of my thoughts are tonight.<br />
<br />
The past semester I have been solely attending UVU for institute while I work and save up money. Tomorrow is my last day of class. The last day I will be taught by the two wonderful teachers I have been taught by all semester. The last day I have with two wonderful classes, filled to the brim with special people who have had a serious impact on my life. <br />
<br />
I'm feeling a little sad. How to you tell so many people thank you for all the little things they have said and done? Man, I can't tell you what a profound influence these two classes have had on me. I'm not ready to say goodbye. Oh brother, how cheesy does that sound? <br />
<br />
There's a guy in my first class who always says the most profound things, I find myself perking up at the sound of his voice. Simply because I know it will be legit. I'll miss him... and everyone else so much.<br />
<br />
It is interesting how people come in an our lives like a blink of an eye... Sometimes it is those people who have the most lasting impression in our lives. I think that is the case here.<br />
<br />
Anyways. No sob stories, just a little downheartedness about my last day tomorrow.<br />
I wish I could tell them all how much they mean to me.<br />
<br />
Goodnight bloggers... wish me luck with the weigh in tomorrow!<br />
<br />

</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">November 22 - My dear sister got married (So clearly the days previous as well as the day of were insane.)</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">November 24 - Happy Thanksgiving... I am SORRY but I was off spending time with my family... you know - the loved ones. So Happy turkey day! Hope you all had as much to be grateful for as I do. As hard as life can be at times, we are all very very blessed.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Next, {Insert work here, there was a lot of it}</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I've just been busy. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Oh... I failed to mention my parents.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Yes, I love them.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I really do.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">But when they fly out to Hawaii the Sunday after dear sisters wedding, and leave 3 siblings for me to care for...You start to go insane.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">So basically...I am exhausted.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">But weigh in day is tomorrow, and I think I am at least down a pound. Woot!</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">This journey gets more and more intense every week.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I feel like "the little engine that could."</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Your mom ever read that to you?...</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">Here's a clip to explain what I mean.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/Yx9xO98kcBU?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">(Man, everything was better in the 60's)</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

Coming soon, "Confession Session," and "How I survived the Holiday"</div>Sydney Tittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03779526076376265112noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437717388724135408.post-28382344970367655082011-11-20T17:55:00.000-08:002011-11-20T17:55:42.554-08:00Just a Jot... Or a Thought.Sometimes all you need is someone to believe in you... even when you don't think you can believe in yourself. I am grateful for the people who support me... the ones who are there to encourage me, even when I'm not sure if I am cut out for the tasks that lie ahead of me.<br />
<br />
Whether it be this weight-loss journey, or serving a full-time mission for my church... Both tasks have seemed very daunting to me at times, even now... I am grateful for all the support and love that keeps me going. It's good for me to think that I am not just doing these things for me. There is a greater purpose, a method to all the madness that I am grateful I am realizing now.<br />
<br />
Decisions determine destiny.<br />
<br />
I am grateful for the decision I made those few weeks ago to start this journey, because look at how far I have come!<br />
<br />
I love you all!<br />

Set... ACTION!<div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">If you're a new reader, you probably don't know much about my word of the year.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">A year ago in a communications class I was taking, we spoke about new years resolutions. My teacher spoke about choosing a specific word every year, and making it her "Theme" for the year as it were. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">I was inspired. Immediately, I began brainstorming the word which application was needed most in my life. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">After some time, I decided on a word and quickly began to implement it's definition in my day with the new year. And so the journey - in a way - began.</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="header" style="font-family: "Courier

Happiness brings success."</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">So often we look to the future with a "grass is always greener on the other side" type of attitude. At least I know I used to do that. But that is what is so great about this whole journey for me. I am FINALLY learning what it takes to find true success and happiness.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">It feels like just yesterday I was letting those ideas creep into my mind:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">-Once I get married, I will be happy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">-Once I finish college, I will be truly happy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">-As long as I pass this test, I will be a happy camper.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">-Once I lose 30 pounds I will be happy.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">If you are smiling right now, its probably because you can almost hear yourself saying something along these lines. So much of our lives, especially as women is focused on trying to be as "perfect" as possible. Perfect being a relative term, for who even knows what the REAL definition of it is. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">I have been approached by a few dear friends of mine who double as lovely blog readers. Both have questioned about my secrets of success. They inquired about how I keep going, how I stay motivated. In all honesty... that is a good question. A question that I have been pondering about for some time now. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Here's the short answer. The one that I've found it all boils down to:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><b>The secret to my success is staying positive.</b> Its about not worrying so much about my success but focusing first (like in the quote I began with) on being happy and optimistic. There have been a few weeks where I have been so down...so inwardly focused. And those were the weeks where I did not find much success at all.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">So step 1 that I will share with you today is:</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">-Stay Happy and Optimistic, It doesn't matter what happened yesterday or even 10 minutes ago. It's all about what you choose to do with your time right NOW.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">I've said it before and I will say it again.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">The time for change is Always, Always, ALWAYS right NOW. It wasn't this morning, it isn't last week. It is right now. <i><b>Motivation is something that needs to be RE-APPLIED every single day of our lives. </b></i></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">A funny quote that supports this is one that I got from a dear friend (and "adopted brother"'s) facebook page.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">"People often say that motivation doesn't last. Well, neither does bathing - that's why we recommend it daily." Zig Ziglar</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">And there you go. </span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">More secrets to success will come in weeks following.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Keep up the good work!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;">Guess what?... I am the proud owner of a Planet Fitness Gym pass! This will be great for me to have in the cold winter months in Salt Lake City! I am very excited, my first gym pass EVER.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 14px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Courier New',Courier,monospace;"><br />

Determined about somehow taking control of myself. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">So tonight I am going to go back to bed</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;">and coach myself to sleep.<br />
I may have taken a few steps backwards this week, but I can be proud of myself for taking a step forward tonight. </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: center;"><br />

To gain control of my life,</span></div><div class="snum" style="text-align: center;"><span class="vi">mind, body, and spirit.</span></div><div class="snum" style="text-align: center;"><span class="vi"><br />
</span></div><div class="snum" style="text-align: center;"><span class="vi">Today I specifically felt hope in regards to the second; my body.</span></div><div class="snum" style="text-align: center;"><span class="vi">As many of you who are reading this may know, 6 weeks ago I embarked on a journey to total health and fitness, knowing beforehand that the treacherous</span><span class="vi"> road would not be easy.

</span></div><div class="snum" style="text-align: center;"><span class="vi">As I weighed in today, I was excited to find that I had lost 2 pounds this week... and I knew at once that I could not have done it alone.

The last two weeks have been rough.<br />
Not necessarily because life is hard, but because change of any kind isn't always easy!<br />
You live a certain way and form habits both good and bad.<br />
For me, I had a lot of bad ones.<br />
Bad ones that I am trying to break.<br />
every day I am working on improving myself mentally...Even when things get rough and results aren't as good as we'd like them to be, we can find hope and happiness in the idea that we are already better than we were before we began our journey. We've made a decision to change our lives, and we are taking the time to DO it, so we might as well come out of it a champion, right?<br />
<br />
Two weeks have passed and I have lost a little over a pound. But I have still lost at least a little bit every week! And while the numbers at times seem to be a little discouraging, I need to keep going because I am going to be a champion. I just have to be.<br />
<br />
Photos will come for every 10 pounds I lose. So far I have lost 9.<br />
<br />
Thanks for your continued support!Sydney Tittlehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03779526076376265112noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8437717388724135408.post-75962960848711785132011-10-01T15:15:00.000-07:002011-10-01T15:15:52.424-07:00Good news!<h6 class="uiStreamMessage" data-ft="{"type":1}" style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span class="messageBody translationEligibleUserMessage" data-ft="{"type":3}">Hey friends!

Monson was asked to give a few thoughts on behalf of the beloved prophet of the time. A war in the middle-east had just ended, but the prophet then (Benson), as well as the man who would become prophet several years following (Monson) still felt prompted to share this inspired message about peace.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Today we read this talk in institute. Now more than ever, people in the world we live in are fighting for peace. I wish we could all understand that this is the way we will find it!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Monson: </b></span></div><div class="" style="text-align: center;" uri="/ensign/1991/05/the-power-of-prayer.p7"><span style="font-size: large;">President Benson has stated: “<span style="color: #990000;">The price of peace is righteousness.</span> Men and nations may loudly proclaim, ‘Peace, peace,’ but <span style="color: #b45f06;">there shall be no peace until individuals nurture in their souls those principles of personal purity, integrity, and character which foster the development of peace.</span> Peace cannot be imposed. It must come from the lives and hearts of men. There is no other way.”<b> </b></span></div><div class="" style="text-align: center;" uri="/ensign/1991/05/the-power-of-prayer.p7"><br />

</div><div></div><div class="" style="text-align: center;" uri="/ensign/1991/05/the-power-of-prayer.p8"><span style="font-size: large;">President Benson has urged: “If we would advance in holiness—increase in favor with God—nothing can take the place of prayer. … Give prayer—daily prayer, secret prayer—a foremost place in your lives. Let no day pass without it. <span style="color: #38761d;">Communion with the Almighty has been a source of strength, inspiration, and enlightenment through the world’s history to men and women who have shaped the destinies of individuals and nations for good.</span>”</span> </div><div class="" style="text-align: center;" uri="/ensign/1991/05/the-power-of-prayer.p8"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, sorry for the ramblings. Let me tell you about my day.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Because I am guessing that it is for that very reason that you are reading my blog.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Okay... so maybe you aren't....</div><div style="text-align: center;">But bear with me, because days like these make people terribly happy.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Especially little bouncy blonde girls like me.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">This week I was about only 80% dedicated to the new lifestyle habits I am trying to get into.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And that is why I woke this morning to the nagging anxiety of weigh in day. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">'Oh dear,' I thought. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Nevertheless I pushed all nagging feelings aside and decided to begin the day with MORNING scripture study in my <a href="http://lds.org/scriptures/bofm?lang=eng">Book of Mormon</a>.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">And that my friends, was Good Idea! #1.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The regular happenings of Thursday morning were carried out and then I was OFF to Institute.</div><div style="text-align: center;">and BOOM.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Good Idea! #2... Yesss I was on a roll.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Now you are starting to get the picture...</div><div style="text-align: center;">Good Idea! #3 came today when the dashing young fellow came and sat next to me in institute (for the 3rd time in a row...) I said hi. hahah Weak sauce... I know. But nevertheless, I was still a good idea.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">My day went on and with the advancing of the day the anxiety of the weigh in creeped back into my mind. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">'Oh dear,' I thought... again. ha</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Long story short, I went in, talked to Dan, weighed in, and then BOOM. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I had lost weight!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpCGStplAGJZqccBZ_Ld-curXXZsUIj4ABIMsk35TBEqf2r5QR3cBlb5zgvsUOAclPIT1dGczbXjIcr5qHS2kEas3Y4t-dCVk5dJcwhuJZsPkmmNGeEg3kZm2uMZoAAT30P3CJOttGhuDB/s1600/week+two.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="126" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpCGStplAGJZqccBZ_Ld-curXXZsUIj4ABIMsk35TBEqf2r5QR3cBlb5zgvsUOAclPIT1dGczbXjIcr5qHS2kEas3Y4t-dCVk5dJcwhuJZsPkmmNGeEg3kZm2uMZoAAT30P3CJOttGhuDB/s400/week+two.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"> [TWO] [POINT] [EIGHT] Pounds! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">So BASICALLY I feel like a champion.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I learned my lesson though. </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd rather go into a weigh in confident that I had done all that I can.</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'd rather go in there and be able to tell Dan that I "behaved" as he likes to call it.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Anyways, I am giddy. Because I am taking control of my life. I feel so great! </div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: center;">Here's another tip for WEEK 2:</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">GET MOVING!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
Now, coming from a girl who hates exercise...(hopefully the more I do it the more I will love it..)</div><div style="text-align: center;">EXERCISE can be fun.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Running can be SO boring and mundane and... hard. haha</div><div style="text-align: center;">and that is definitely why I don't like it.</div><div style="text-align: center;">The A.D.D. gets the best of me. </div><div style="text-align: center;">(If you like running, I am sorry... to each his own, right?) </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Go Rollerblading! for about 30-40 minutes (Don't kill yourself, just nice and easy low heart rate stuff)</div><div style="text-align: center;">Why don't you have to kill yourself?... well because with the healthy food you are eating.. you don't want to burn it too fast, you want to just take this nice and easy or you will hit a wall and plateau with your weightloss.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't have rollerblades?... find something you love to do and do it! Even if it is making a playlist on http://www.grooveshark.com and dancing around for twenty minutes in your living room, office, bedroom, dormroom kitchen... just get your groove on and have a good time!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">The point is, get off your tush and have a good time... and then get on blogspot after and pass it off for exercise. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">(No, exercise will not always be this easy... but if you are anything like me... you need somewhere to begin!)</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Any questions?... ask!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Thanks again for the support friends!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Love, Sydney</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">P.S. this is my song for the day...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/nDxhugRKZ8g?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDxhugRKZ8g">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nDxhugRKZ8g</a><br />
Listen to it if you wanna have a good time.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">P.P.S. I don't think I put enough emphasis on that cute kid in my institute class. He is terribly handsome! Something in my stomach starts doing jumping jacks the past 3 times he has sat next to me. Now, I have just got to learn how to talk to the kid...that and how to stop saying stupid things that make my face turn bright red..... ugh. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">HAVE A GOOD DAY!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
