Faith and prayer,

Food is so yummy, haha I love food.. now I just need to eat food in portions and know that when i'm full that means stop, not keep eating till you feel sick! I actually woke up this morning to run! Crazy I know and it probably won't happen again! I am going to follow my loving friends advice and not become a work out Nazi cause I do tend to do that. I will work up a regular workout routine and healthy diet and post it on here so my readers can see!

I had such a wonderful night at young womens we had a standards night and it is so amazing to be in a room where the love people have for each other is literally tangible! I have such a strong love for my young women. I recently found this book of mine titled Our standards are guardrails not fences. I wrote my testimony and how much I cared for this particular young women and gave it to her because I knew she was facing a hard time. I challenge everyone to do something nice for one another without expecting anything in return, I know we do it on a daily basis, but sometimes we get to busy wrapped up in all the things of the world we forget the little things that truly matter most. Like how amazing you feel when you get a simple note saying "hey your beautiful!"

When we are in the service or our fellow beings we are in the service of our lord. Very little brings the spirit stronger then when we are doing charity with love in our heart. You can do as much charity as you want but if you don't have love in your heart and your head in the right place you might as well have not done it at all.

I love all my fellow brothers and sisters and I don't think I could ever thank you guys enough for being my support system and always being that example in my life. Whether you realize it or not people are always watching each other hoping to find the strength in each other to help us carry on. In a world surrounded by such hatred we need to stand strong as witnesses at all times and all places and help one another as much as we can.

I love you guys!

Breeee :)

DAY 1

Crazy how hard it is to resist something as simple as food. Something so simple but can be everything to someone. Being addicted to food is a serious thing, I just got done reading this book about how to handle food addiction. Not that I am addicted to food but my mom thought it would be good for me to read some books about nutrition. Food is a basic need. Food is not something to be abused and overeaten, as hard as it may be! It is so hard to get back into shape.. I want to be in the best shape of my life that so when I enter college I can have the best years of my life.

Speaking of college,I am so ready to be done with high school. Yes I know story of every senior attending high school, but high school is just SO hard. Peer pressure and temptation at every corner-I am constantly wishing I was already at college surrounded by people with the same standards as me. I have a strong testimony that the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints is the only true church on earth and the standards I uphold were given to me so that I can return and live with my heavenly father one day. I just wish it was easier to share that message. Lately in church you can't start a conversation without missionary work, the atonement, and repentance entering your conversation. I want so badly to share my testimony with my peers at school so they can feel the love I share with my heavenly father, but it just seems every time I try I get shot down I just need to perceiver and have faith that heavenly father will give me strength and KNOWLEDGE I get so scared when people ask me questions that I will give them the wrong answer or that I won't know the right things to say. Faith and prayer, faith and prayer.

Back to day number 1 of my diet! So today went okay not the kind of start I wanted, I need to plan out my meals better so I can be more prepared for when devil food tempts me! I am about to work out for the night then study and go to sleep. I sound so responsible but lets be honest I will probably do some crutches look at my books and laugh and go to sleep. Faith and prayer, faith and prayer hahaha heavenly father give me the strength to kick me back into shape!

Leave comments of encouragement and how awesome I am and how much you love me!

Haha I am so humble ;)

Give up something good for something better,

Today at church one of my young women leaders gave an awesome lesson about nutrition and it meant a lot to me because lately I have been struggling with trying to maintain a diet and not give in and completely devour those rice crispy treats sitting in the laundry room..don't do it Bree!

The important thing I keep in mind is that it's not just something I want to do so that I look smoking hottt, it is a commandment from my heavenly father to treat my body as a temple. I was blessed with amazing health and I need to feed my body only good things, whether i'm feeding my stomach or my spirit. Being physically fit affects all aspects of our lives. We need to always be prepared to meet our trials head on. If we do not keep our body's physically and spiritually healthy we will not be alert and ready to fight off satans temptations.

Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy. 1 Cor 3:16-17

Wow. I know I am a daughter of my heavenly father. Having the knowledge that I have been blessed with means that more is expected of me then someone who lacks the knowledge I have. I know that my body is a temple, it is a holy being that must be fit for the spirit to reside in. If I stuff my face with unhealthy foods and sit on my rear end all day how will I feel? I will feel lazy and grumpy. How am I supposed to accomplish all the things my heavenly father wants me to accomplish if I am lazy and grumpy? I can't it is physically impossible, I must be strong in my faith that if I do as the lord has asked of me that I will be blessed. I know this will be a huge struggle because I love me some yummy unhealthy foods, but I love my heavenly father a million trillion billion times more. I am willing to give up something good for something better. I will be recording my crazy healthy adventures starting now! I hope that by having my six followers reading my blog entries that this will help me stay accountable for what I just promised. I am praying for strength that I can not only talk the talk but can also walk the walk, if anyone wants to join me in my health adventures I would love to have company!

This next couple of months my goals are:

Exercise regularly

Relax and rejuvenate

Eat a well-balanced diet

Join me I will make it fun and it will be oh so worth it!

Thank you so much sister Stevens for you lesson it was inspired me so much! I love all my young women leaders, past and present, and all the women in my branch! They inspire my life daily and I owe so much to them thank you!
