Urban Poly Princess

I looove my Fridays. This morning I looked at my phone and thought for a split second... Uh oh it's already 8am, NOT thinking, I DON'T WORK ON FRIDAYS!!! Supposedly my presenter's kit is supposed to be sent today. I wish I had it already!!! I can't wait to work the makeup angle. Life is so amazing. I am grateful for technology that allows me to pursue ALL my interests. It's alright that I am a schizophrenic with my interests. There's nothing wrong with that. The internet is allowing me to enjoy my makeup passion. It is annoying that I can't really start until I see my presenter's kit but I just have to be patient.

I love the Yoli lifestyle too and I will be a distributer as well but I just want to break even and just sell enough to get my product for free. I love how positive everyone is and I love their products I plan to take long-term. I could never embrace the lifestyle fulltime. I know it is financially rewarding and in a great industry. If you are going to rock an MLM this is a good one. You should spread the gospel of a healthy lifestyle. I know however that it isn't the ONLY way to achieve optimal health however and that the eating plan that goes along with the lifestyle is the biggest change that gets people off their meds and feeling better. The beautiful miracle stories are awesome and people develop healthier habits BUUUT to attribute EVERYTHING to great supplements when these are combined with an overhaul of your diet is a stretch.

I want to continue using their Alkalete and pure but I'm going to run out soon and I intend to look for natural alternatives that accomplish the same thing. I love their passion drink too. I want to try the top rated shakes however. Yoli was rated #2 which isn't a bad thing BUUUT why wouldn't I want the best. Making my first and last meal a high quality protein shake is a practice I plan to continue for life. While Kinau looks fabulous and has lost 80 pounds he could still lose another 50. Mahana who lost over 100 still looks incredible BUUUT her face looks fat right now. I think she gained back some of the weight she lost and it shows.

You are a walking billboard of your product and why invest in something you don't take seriously???!!!

There's a new agent 12-hour class I get to take at BATC. I need to register for it and make the arrangements. I finish my transformation kit Tuesday. I change to my last aligner on Thursday. Alkalete will take a few days to reach me. I will continue to do everything else because this is how I want to live. My last free meal is Tuesday or actually I should make it Wednesday since I changed it up last week to accommodate the missionary dinner I had planned. Actually I got stuff from the new La Tormenta in Providence. They were alright. I'm still never going to REALLY like Mexican food ever.

My Asian food love is pretty strong and will ALWAYS be my first choice no matter what. I froze the rest of my Japchae and an entire Devil's food cake. That is what I'm eating for my free meal Wednesday. I'm saving my Cool Whip too to mix with the box of cream cheese I still have.

After that free meal day it's time to incorporate the FREE DAY and also get to exercising. I'll be done with transformation so hopefully I'll turn all that fat to muscle. I looove that my body is changing and that there are so many things I can work on. I'm setting another REALISTIC goal for myself this time to be Zumba certified by Christmas this year. Alisa has Zumba certifications in just about everything. I just want to rock the basic class and then attend a Zumba conference with her and teach Zumba every morning somewhere. For now I'll just do it myself every morning ALONG with weight training and skating around my kitchen.

I know the skating is strange. I don't care. This is what I'm doing for myself. I love that my calling is missionary work and that I get to work in the temple too. I just need to take care of perfecting the saints by doing my visiting teaching and working on myself spiritually and I can just accomplish that by continuing to study the scriptures and conference talks. I should find out what's going on in our Gospel Essentials class since we won't be meeting with Porter anymore. I am sooo happy about that!!! I wonder how fast they're going to call our ward mission leader. I just want someone new. PLEASE don't be Jon!!!

Moroni 5
 2 O God, the Eternal Father, we ask thee, in the name of thy Son, Jesus Christ, to bless and sanctify this wine to the souls of all those who drink of it, that they may do it in remembrance of theblood of thy Son, which was shed for them; that they may witness unto thee, O God, the Eternal Father, that they do always remember him, that they may have his Spirit to be with them. Amen.

Another short chapter from Moroni. We are supposed to literally think of how this represents  the Savior's blood. The whole eating and drinking of his flesh and blood is a gruesome image. Still we ingest it. Why that imagery? Perhaps to make him literally a part of ourselves? Not just his blood but the blood that was shed for us. It represents the physical pain he endured and also the extreme spiritual suffering that caused him to bleed from every pore that was so draining he actually asked essentially if there was no other way before going ahead and completing the agonizing horrific experience we can never have a real concept of because it is difficult to conceive. Especially us today who don't have the excruciating physical labor of the immediate past. 

My dad would NEVER let me work with him in any way in construction at all. My brother was able to do so. He told me building rock walls was the most horrible thing to do ever. What added to this is my dad was at a point in his career and business that he just told George and the other guys who worked for him what to do and if they were doing it right or needed to do it again. My dad's chauvinist ways spoiled me even more. Even my brother will tell me to sit down and get out of the way if I begin to help lift things. I'm actually fine with that. I will NEVER change a tire or do anything that'll get me physically dirty if there's some guy around who can do it.

That one time I had to get my friend to come and help me change a tire however was not cool. I felt so helpless and I vowed that would NEVER happen again to me. I'm going to try AND get dirty the next time that happens and my brother, nephews or cousins aren't around to help me. I have no problem letting guys do all the lifting or manual labor of ANY type while I sit there. I am perfectly fine with that and I am fine that I was raised that way. I don't care if that's a diva/princess thing. I AM a diva/princess who has the greatest king as her father or my Heavenly Father. My earthly father treated me like a princess my heavenly father would certainly do likewise. AS his daughter however he wants me to develop those qualities like love, compassion and kindness that have little to do with manual labor. 

It's why I sometimes have a problem living in this white Cache Valley world. I expect guys to do the lifting ALL the time. NOT because I'm incapable BUT because they respect women in general especially their mothers and sisters. I'm grateful for my culture that taught me that and I want to teach my children that too. It is something that REALLY bothers me about clueless white boys.

Of course clueless but spiritually solid white boys will ALWAYS be better than spiritually tepid Poly boys even if they are fine and intelligent. SAAAD!!! The intelligent AND brilliant Poly boys usually are morally reprehensible. STUPID really because they value chastity so much yet they think they deserve someone who is clean when they have made themselves dirty pigs. ENOUGH ranting!!!
