so recently i have changed my diet which i have been losing weight and people have been telling me i look like im thinning since the last time i have seen them. so i have a diet of food and i go to golds gym monday, wednesday, friday, and the other days work out at the apartment except saturdays thats basketball day. but also my food diet has changed i went to costco and spent $135 to have a diet for the month. so we have chicken and rice for lunches and dinners it depends sometimes but the rice is brown rice which either way i hate rice. but my breakfasts are one meal everytime and its a morning drink. so you put 1 cup oats, a bannana or Peanutbutter, 2 eggs, a scoop of protein powder and milk and blend it up and i take fish oil pills and a multi vitamin with it. so thats my breakasts but yeah the snacks are greek yougurts, cottage cheese, and once in a while a peanut butter and honey sandwich on wheat bread or multi grain bread. but it all keeps me going and so here is my routine workouts during the week.
gym-monday: chest/triceps
tuesday: biceps/abs
gym-wednesday:legs
thursday:shoulders/triceps
gym-friday:back/biceps
saturday:abs/cardio/basketball
thats my routine during the week and the scheduled stuff. so i ave been going down in weight but building muscle. its been great and everyday im on the bike so it helps too.
so this week i have been getting to know quite a few people in this area. the ward is small. its funny i comapre it to the school i went to being small but yeah its the only church building that i have seen that doesnt have a gym in it. but its a great building. its been a great experiance to serve in the ghetto here.
but im getting exited on this mission i mean so may things are getting better and better. ill tell you why my testimony has grown, i have felt in certain areas or times in the mission what my purpose with some people or some situations is. i have been able to meet awesome people and the great opportunities that i will have ahead i mean i read my patriarticle blessing and some of the things in there get me exited for the rest of my mission.
so we just found out that the previous mission president here has been diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer so i ask that all of you that read this pray for president Matsumori. which he is a temple president now. i hope all will be great in the end for him. i heard he was pretty awesome.
so one thing i want to ask who may be getting rid of any old dress up pants that you dont want anymore that i may be able to have cauz i dont want to ruin any of my suit pants biking. so im looking for some that i can just use that are easy to bike in. im looking for 36x34. so if anyone that has any can mail them to either address to get them to me or if its drivable to my parents.
my parents address: 10178 s 6000 w. payson utah 84651
mission office: 11700 falls rd potomac md 20854
anyway i would really appreciate if anybody had any to get rid of for me to have.
hope everyones having a wonderful week! and look forward to those that i hear from soon!
