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...
PART 3 – 3 ways to reach your weight loss and fitness potential
So far we have covered the necessity of being humble and anchoring your roots. Today we are looking into the third thing you need to do to reach your weight loss and fitness potential. You need to protect your heart. What I mean when I say, “Protect your heart.” is all too often we allow the opinions of others drive and determine how we feel about ourselves and how we perceive ourselves. That is not cool, because the opinions of others are fickle and is in a constant state of flux. Truth be told, this is something I need to work...
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...
Does Fear Control Your Fitness Journey?
Why are you afraid? First off, before we dive into the topic of fear. I would like to say that fear is a God given emotion. In certain situations, fear is a natural emotion. If my kids didn’t fear heights, there would be lots of broken bones, lol. However, so often we let fear hold us back in a way it was not designed to do. I see this expressed in the, “Fear of failure” syndrome that holds many people back in regards to their fitness journey. All to often, people know what they should do, eat right and exercise. A lot...
Are You A Fitness Zombie?
Are you a Fitness Zombie? The other night (Thursday) we went to Mercy Hill Church (best church I have ever been apart of, you must check it out) and Pastor Andrew talked about a church in the Bible called Sardis. Basically, the church at Sardis looked epic from the outside looking in. They even had a good reputation...
