Wear what makes you feel good.  I recently bough Wear what makes you feel good.  I recently bought some joggers that I absolutely love.  In fact, I bought 4 pair on Amazon for the price of one pair on many other websites.  (You can find them in my kit along with some of the other things I'm loving: https://kit.co/marshaapsley)   My fashion (if you'd call it that) is casual and comfortable.  My goal is to always feel that way while also presentable.  😉 What's your fashion theme? Do you have a favorite wardrobe item?  Please share! #wearwhatyoulove #fashionfriday #outfitoftheday #joggers #lookgoodfeelgood
"It helped me to allow myself to be photographed a "It helped me to allow myself to be photographed again." That's a benefit one woman experienced when she put into practice the Faith and Fitness Framework™.  How many times have you hidden when someone brought out the camera? When you are in a group photo then someone asks you to take a look at it, where do you look first?  At yourself, of course?!  We all do it, and then we judge the photo based on how we look. Someone could have their eyes closed or be turning away from the camera, but if we like how we look, then it's a good picture.  Am I right?? When you start building your healthy life on a foundation of faith and learn to honor your body the way God intended, your confidence will grow. Why? You won't be judging yourself based on how well you followed a meal plan or exercise program.  Those only set you up to fail.  And no one gains confidence by starting over again and again and again.   To build your confidence, build your healthy life on a foundation of faith.  Want to chat more about how to do that?  I'm just a DM away!   #selfconfidence #youdoyou #youmatter #faithandfitness #foreverfit
Something I've seen over and over again with the w Something I've seen over and over again with the women I work with is the relationship between regular exercise and self-confidence.  I can't tell you how movement and fresh air can boost self-confidence.  It doesn't matter what you do, when you push yourself it not only boosts you physically, it boosts your mindset and therefore your confidence as well. The women who have committed to #go1aday are not only building strength physically but they are also building self-confidence as they prove to themselves that they can meet the challenge.   We had a rainy day last week (this week too!) but they still went out and logged their mile.  I had so many happy reports about having braved the elements and stuck to the challenge.   Push yourself a little today and enjoy the physical and mental benefits! #go1aday #selfconfidence #youareworthit #youcandoit #selfconfidenceboost #exerciseandmentalhealth
Do you change your eating habits based on who you' Do you change your eating habits based on who you're with? Do you make food choices with confidence when you're with others, or do you allow the opinion of others to drive your choices? One of the things we work on when practicing #moderation365 is to stay in your power and own your choices.  How many times have you felt like you weren't working hard enough because you weren't following the same diet your friend was? Have you ever shown up at a restaurant with friends wanting to order one thing only to change your order based on what someone else ordered?   Peer pressure.   It shows up with our food choices. Self-confidence. You can have this when you choose what's beneficial for you.   Nobody knows you better than you.   Listen to your body.  Allow the Holy Spirit to be your guide.  Honor the body God has entrusted to you by choosing confidently. Stay in your power today and make a food choice based on your own body's hunger cues.  When you do, DM me and let me know about it.  #foodchoices #selfconfidence #selfcare #healthyfoodchoices #youdoyou #chooseyou
We’re kicking off week 2 of our Mile A Day Chall We’re kicking off week 2 of our Mile A Day Challenge. Dozens of women are logging 1 mile a day...some are running, others are walking, still others are on the elliptical or the bike. The way they log the mile doesn’t matter. It’s about getting consistent. Consistency + Accountability = Sustainability And that’s what we want: a sustainable healthy lifestyle. That’s what frees you up to live the life God has designed for you. #go1aday #mileaday #healthylifestyle #faithandfitness #eveningrun
"I love the person I've become, because I fought t "I love the person I've become, because I fought to become her." ~ Kaci Diane⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What have you done to become the person you are today? ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Has it taken some fight?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ If you're happy with who you are, celebrate that. Don't be shy about it. You've worked hard to become this person.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ If you're not pleased with where you are today, what will you do to change that? ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Get back in the fight. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Do you need to incorporate a healthy habit?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Is it simply a mindset that needs to shift?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Oftentimes we don't realize the person we are and what we've done to get here. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Too often we're overly critical and have high expectations. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Can you celebrate something today even if you have areas where you want to grow?⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ What do you need to do to become a person you love? It might not be easy, but it'll be worth it.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #quote #quoteoftheday #youbeyou #beyoutiful #loveyourself ⁠⁠
{Sunday Devotion - God appointed your here and now {Sunday Devotion - God appointed your here and now}⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ “From one man he made all the nations, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he marked out their appointed times in history and the boundaries of their lands. God did this so that they would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from any one of us.” Acts 17:26-27 (NIV)⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ You are you because that’s how God made you.⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ You live where you live because that’s where God placed you. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ You inhabit this earth right now because that’s when God wanted you here. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ God had a plan when He created you. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ God appointed your here and now. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ God is sovereign. He could’ve placed you anywhere anytime but He chose to have you living right here right now. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Why? ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ He wants you to know Him. And He wants others to know Him because of the work He does in you and through you. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ It’s graduation season for high school and college students. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ God has a plan for each of them. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ As a mother of one of those students, I have to trust God’s sovereignty that my son is right where he’s supposed to be (even though I want to bundle him up and hold him close like I did 18 years ago).⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ At some point we all ask “what am I doing here?” Perhaps it’s a specific location, a job, a relationship, a situation, or a particular phase of life. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ The simple answer is because it’s right when and where God wants you. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ But then let’s ask, “How can I help others know Him by the way I live in this place at this moment?” ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ God has you here for a reason. Never doubt that. ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ Happy Sunday!⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠ #sundayverse #sundaydevotion #sundayinspiration #youhavepurpose #graduationseason
Running helps me through the highs and lows and ev Running helps me through the highs and lows and everything in between. Today is one of those I'm not sure how to describe.  Ethan is graduating.   That's a thing to be celebrated but my emotions have been all over the place.   Starting out this special day with a run with a friend was exactly the thing I needed...finding money...a bonus!  It's gonna be a good day!!   Happy Graduation Day! 🖤💛 #runnermom #runningformentalhealth #graduationday #momofboys #boymom
