My babysitter is sick…:-(
Alright, so my babysitter (Grandma) is sick and I have to watch the kiddos. So instead of some awesome fitness, mindset, or weight loss motivation. I have going to follow the advice one of clients gave me. She said, “Just tell us your sitter is sick and them give a list of ways to avoid getting sick.” :-).

Do You Resent Others Weight Loss Success?
My 5 year old son Axel has started a 2 week trail of Tae Kwon Do. I won’t lie it is pretty awesome and funny. I have taken him a couple of times and it makes me smile from ear to ear every time. The little kids are so cute and they all think they are Bruce Lee lol. Any way, the first time Axel went it was a semi-private session/assessment with only one other new kid. Axel was a little older, bigger, and more confident than the other kid and guess what? He LOVED the experience, it was great....
3 Reasons Why You Fail To Get Fit.
What kind of seed are you? What kind of fitness seed are you? Disclaimer, this awesome little parable is modified from an even awesomer parable from Jesus in the Bible ;-). This is how it goes. One day, a farmer was throwing seeds out into the field and one of the seeds landed on the walking path and the birds saw it and instantly ate it up. Another seed, fell on a rocky place that didn’t have much soil. It sprang up and grew really quickly, but when the sun came out it scorched the plant and it died because it had nothing...

4 Steps For Fitness and Weight Loss Success
These 4 Steps For Lasting Fitness and Weight Loss Success were inspired by a parable about a tree I read in the book of Matthew the other day. I am going to paraphrase here, but basically it said, “Make tree good and its fruit will be good, make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad.” The implication being, “What kind of tree are you?” In the parable, Jesus was saying that your good deeds meaning nothing if your heart is bad. You can be Mother Teresa and feed the orphans, which is a great thing, but if your heart is...
Do you want mercy or justice when you go rogue and fail to follow your fitness and nutrition plan?
Do you want mercy or justice when you go rogue and fail to follow your fitness and nutrition plan? I know I want mercy! The other day I was doing my devotions from BibleInOneYear.org (amazing resource) and I read a story that made me think of going rogue and not wanting to suffer the consequences of my bad eating choices. Here it is: Two people went through school and university together and developed a close friendship. Life went on and they went their separate ways and lost contact. One went on to become a judge, while the other’s life spiralled down and he...

Is Food Good or Evil?
Today as I was doing my devotions and I saw how God chooses to use broken, angry, frustrated, and even deceptive people to carry out his mission. I don’t know about you, but this gives me peace for a couple of reasons. One, I am far from perfect ;-). If God only cared and used perfect people, I would be in a world of hurt. Two, God is in control. God won’t forsake those who pursue him, one day He will judge with righteousness. This means I DON’T need to worry about getting even or mistreated by others. That is God’s...
