Week 2

So how did everyone do this week?  The first couple weeks are hard to get into.  Keep working at it.  

I have only received points and new weights from a few people so as those others send me their stuff I will continue to change the standings.  

Some of you are in various situations.  Brandee just had her gall bladder out and Rose Ann is having surgrey next week.  JUST DO WHAT YOU CAN DO!!  

BONUS THIS WEEK:  NO Chocolate.  Each day that you do not eat chocolate you get 3 pts.  Good luck.

So Let’s Do the Do’s

EXERCISE: Spiritual well-being is vital, but how you feel physically is also significant. Are you getting enough physical activity every day? President Ezra Taft Benson said, “Rest and physical exercise are essential, and a walk in the fresh air can refresh the spirit” (Ensign, November 1974, page 66).

SLEEP: It’s true, there’s nothing in section 89 about how much rest we should have each night, but go back a couple of pages to Doctrine and Covenants 88:124: “Cease to sleep longer than is needful; retire to thy bed early, that ye may not be weary; arise early, that your bodies and your minds may be invigorated.” [D&C 88:124]

Your body needs adequate rest. On the other hand, this doesn’t mean you should sleep all day.

FOOD: Eating correctly is another way of taking care of your body. The scriptures tell us that all grains are good for us (see D&C 89:14) and that meat is “ordained for the use of man” but should be “used sparingly” (D&C 89:12).

Directions for happiness and health are continually given to us by a very kind Heavenly Father. By using our agency we can conscientiously follow that inspiration, and by so doing bless our lives daily. The world will eventually find these truths by its trial and error method, as I discovered as a young dental student. But the obedient believer will already be happily enjoying the blessings.
