Love Is Painfully Time Consuming

Love Is Painfully Time Consuming

You have probably heard the scripture used in weddings that starts with “love is patient“. It’s interesting the author of that text lists patience as the first description of love. However, if you really think it through, we all know true love can be painfully time consuming and requires a LOT of patience. It takes 5 minutes longer than you want to show love (instead of lose your cool) when you…

Is Your "Low Carb" Recipe REALLY Low Carb? Let's Check!

Is Your “Low Carb” Recipe REALLY Low Carb? Let’s Check!

I was searching for low carb recipes for clients and was shocked what I was finding. Major well known websites were categorizing recipes inaccurately (or so it seemed) – actively marketing “low carb recipes” that clearly did not looks like low carb recipes. The million dollar question is how can you know for sure your low carb recipe is really a low carb? Well, it is much easier than you think.…

Churches Are Full of Hypocrites - And Looking For More

Churches Are Full of Hypocrites – And Looking For More

Hypocrisy is one of the most misunderstood and misused words in relationship to church or Christianity. There is a massive difference between someone who desires to live right and fails, and someone who desires to look like they live right but isn’t even trying. I love this church advertisement (whether it is a real ad or not), welcoming more hypocrites to church because, the fact is, we all…

Being Mean Seems To Be Trending

Being Mean Seems To Be Trending

IT STARTS WITH ME The pressure to please everyone and meet everyone’s expectation is growing more and more challenging with the rise of social media. From Tik-Tok to Facebook, it really is hard to be everything we “think” we need to be. Photo filters mask reality and the constant flow of negative opinions and angry comments can make even the happiest people grumpy. It seems as if being mean is…

How To Be A Woman Goal-Crusher in 2022

How To Be A Woman Goal-Crusher in 2022

If I could sum up the last two years, the word I would use is distraction. The last two years have been the biggest distraction for me; throwing me out of my healthy routine, enabling laziness, creating stress, changing the way I shop and eat, and overshadowing so many of the most important things in life. COVID has demanded center stage, often bumping God off that first place spot in my life;…

The One Temperature Check That Really Makes the Difference

The One Temperature Check That Really Makes the Difference

As I sipped on my coffee for a quick temperature check, I realized it was officially too cold to drink but not cold enough to taste as good as iced coffee, it reminds me of Revelation 3:15-16 and these words… “32˚ is the temperature where water turns to a solid and 212˚ is the temperature water turns to gas, but there is no measurement for lukewarm. Lukewarm is just the temperature of its…

Marriage with More Muscle: Miracles Can Happen

Marriage with More Muscle: Miracles Can Happen

When things get so bad, it’s hard to even imagine how God could doing anything to help. Needs are physical. Circumstances often are seemingly permanent. Personalities are set and habits are hard to break. How can God change someone’s DNA? I’m not a perfect wife, but God uses our imperfections to perfect each other. I remember Steve saying, “You are never going to change. God isn’t going to just…

Get Fit Inside AND Out for the Ultimate Healthy Life

Get Fit Inside AND Out for the Ultimate Healthy Life

Photo by Andrea Piacquadio on Pexels.com It is easy to look in the mirror and see what needs fixing. A hair out of place or extra body fat that needs to be worked off is easy to see. However, it takes more work to take the time to look on the inside to see what needs improving. I want to encourage you to take the same amount of time and energy it takes to work on your physical health to work on…

A New, Healthier Way to Look at Dieting

A New, Healthier Way to Look at Dieting

People do NOT like the word diet. It’s like a bad 4-letter word that’s offensive in all languages. The fact is, everyone has a different definition of diet. I admit, I use the word all the time but never thought of it as a bad thing until someone scolded me for using the word in a social media post. To me, diet meant healthy eating and practicing self-control. So now I like to tell people I am…

How to Run and Not Be Weary

How to Run and Not Be Weary

As you set out to tackle a fitness or weight loss goal, one thing I can guarantee is you will definitely run and be weary. Running and weary go hand in hand. It’s like mud and dirty. You can’t play in the mud without getting dirty and you can’t run (toward your goal) without getting weary. But, you can learn to run and not be weary to the point of quitting. Personally, when I read the verse…

You Are Your Biggest Reward

You Are Your Biggest Reward

In my interview with JJ Peterson, the trainer from the first episode of Fit To Fat To Fit, JJ said “you have to find your why”. JJ is so right, our “why” is so important. That is why we have trained so many people for NPC competitions. It’s not to help them get a trophy or modeling contract. We want to help give them a goal. They need a “why” before they even discover what their real (much…

Fat Will (Eventually) Surrender If You Don’t Give Up

No matter how many times you have joined a gym and stopped after the first month. It doesn’t matter how many times you start a diet that only lasted a few weeks. No matter how many things you have tried, this time can be the time fat finally surrenders. The Trade Off Photo by Tijana Drndarski on Pexels.com Think about what we let get in our way of success. It’s often just a little short-term…

Is Your Weight Holding You Back from Being Your Best?

Is Your Weight Holding You Back from Being Your Best?

People who lose weight lose more than the extra body fat. They lose a lot of extra baggage. With every pound shed, they lose insecurities, fatigue, pain, irritability and mood swings. I never fully understood just how much excess weight really weighs someone down until I experienced it firsthand with Steve. Steve became a different person when he gained weight for the A&E reality show, Fit To…

People always ask me what to do to tighten the stomach, expecting me to list off some of my favorite exercises. The truth is, there is a lot more that goes into flatting a tummy.
