I found this great quote as I was working on my spiritual goal of studying a conference talk by President Uchtdorf. I laughed right out loud when I read it, because it goes along so well with my training program:
He said, "How the Lord loves the laborer!" Then he quoted President Monson, "It is not enough to want to make the effort and to say we'll make the effort. It's in the doing not just the thinking that we accomplish our goals."
Ironic that I stumbled upon this quote this week. Or was it? I have to say, I'm not sure if it is the energy of getting up on time and having the time to study, or in the studying itself, but I am finding myself inspired again. There is nothing that compares to that little twitter in your soul when you feel you've hit on something meant especially for you from the Lord!
On the other hand, Meredith wishes the Lord loved the ideal man as much as the laborer!
Experiment in Delayed Gratification

- As a skinny girl, I've never known the angst of having to skip the dessert bar or say no to that extra breadstick. Not a skinny girl? You're probably thinking, "Lucky!" But am I? This is a thirty-five day experiment to see if a skinny girl can change her life, whether or not she can change her body.
