My Victory Weight loss begins

Today, tuesday the 8th of November 2011. I started a program called Sponsor Me Slim. It is a program that helps promote weight loss while raising awareness of Obesity and Starvation. It Consists of 2 shakes a day and a healthy dinner to end the night off.

Weigh in today was 259. Inches around hip is 38" and around belly 45. Time to start feeling better about myself and loose some weight and serious inches.

Chillin in Annapolis Maryland

Well I am back on the road getting ready to start work up in New York City. I am excited but will miss all my great friends that I have been working with in North Dakota. It is nice spending time with people that I love and not having to use my GPS to get around. I love the feeling here and all the memories from the mission..

Back in Utah and getting ready to Leave to North Dakota

Well I am back in Utah for the week while i figure some things out and get ready to move up to North Dakota. I am going to be in fargo and will be traveling between Minneapolis and Bismark. I am loving being away and on my own for the summer and good things are coming from it. I am working hard and loving life. being able to see a lot of the country is one of the biggest blessing I have been fortunate to have. Leaving family and friends although has been one of the hardest things to do but i am managing.

Orange travels in OH-RA-GON

Well I have almost been In Oregon for a week and it is nice so far. The weather has been great and not too much rain. I got my car washed and not 20 min later it started to pour and that just seems to happen everytime i wash the car. Guess I should not wash it anymore hahah. . . The drive through Nevada up to Oregon was really quite pretty it was raining the entire time. the first stop i came to for gas was in Adel Or. and I was thrown for a loop when the lady said that I couldnt pump my own gas and that she had to do it for me. I said ok well that sounds alright. The price for gas blew my mind. it was 4.75 and here in eugene it is 3.99 a gallon but that is cause they had to inflate the price a bit cause they are paying people to come and pump it for you. Just the other day I went to wendys to get some food and they actually had their own gas station. It was called Wendys Gas-N-Go. The things that I am seeing here are quite weird but the people are very nice

Getting ready for a transition can leave you feeling like youre on a Teeder Todder!!!!

Well I am packing up and getting ready to move up to Oregon for a few months, and then off to South Dakota for a short time as well. I am excited and not wantin to go at the same time. I remember on the mission we would always say that change is good, and that the most constant is change. With out change I dont think that we would be able to learn, grow, or become better as a people or individuals. My mom will yet again be receiving a phone call on mothers day, and I wont be a part of the family vacations this summer. But that is ok!! I am excited to get away, earn some money and have a good time. Act as if I have a clean slate and nothing can hold me back.

Some fun Family Pictures of the Hoelleins and their new son Zackary

Washington DC and Annapolis MD

These are just some of the fun pics that I was able to gather from my trip to Washington DC while i was in DC an old roommate Trevor who works for Sen Mike Lee was able to take me on a tour of the Capitol and it was a tour that not many get to go on. Going past the authorized persons only and taking the train that only senators and aids get to ride from the senate buildings to the capitol. It has been a fun trip and cant wait to get home on wednesday
