Another Good Step

This past week I took a couple of big steps towards my journey of becoming a changed and better person. One step I took was towards my spiritual side. I started reading my scriptures again. Mainly the Book of Mormon. Yes I am a Mormon and proud of it. I was going to take another step and go back to my home church, back to the congregation that rejected me, but I couldn't get myself to do it.

A about a year and a half ago I was really hurt by the members in that particular congregation and I thought I was over it, but every time I think about how I'm treated and my mom and sisters have been treated I just can't get myself to go. I know there is so much more to the gospel of our church, but to sit there around these particular people anger just builds up inside and I don't want to have anything to do with them. See, this is something I really need to work on. I know their are some good people in this congregation it's just going to take a little bit more time to over come this challenge.

Ok, so now to the big step I took. Yesterday my sisters and I became members of a gym. Woo Hoo!!
I am very excited about this. I really want to loose weight and feel great and I know this is a big step towards it. We joined a gym before and were doing pretty good, but then thing started happening, like my mom got congestive heart failure (CHF) and chronic kidney disease and was going to the hospital a lot (she still does.) And my sister ended up in the hospital after loosing way to much blood when her monthly cycle didn't stop. Then our membership ended and at the time we just couldn't get ourselves to keep going. But now we are in a place where we are ready to get back to it and loose that weight and start feeling better about ourselves.

So now comes the hard part. Staying committed and working hard. I feel good about both these steps. I know I still have a long way to go and many steps to take on this journey to change but this is just the start and so far it's looking pretty good. We'll just have to wait to see what happens. I'm sure there will be both highs and lows after all 365 days is a long time.

Well until next time
