"Every age can be enchanting, provided you live wi "Every age can be enchanting, provided you live within it." I read this quote a couple of days after I turned 50. Several years ago, I decided I was done chasing a number on a scale, and I was ready to live free - free of the worries and stress related to the shape and size of my body. But I still wanted to feel good in my body and be healthy. God showed me how, and I turned that into my Faith and Fitness Framework™. Since then I've been helping women build their healthy lives on a foundation of faith. On October 22, I'm hosting a one day retreat here in Shelbyville for women who are ready to embrace their age and stage of life. Join me for a day to be inspired and motivated and learn how to build your healthy life on a foundation of faith. It'll include short sessions as well as plenty of time for fellowship and some movement. Walk away with more confidence in how God created you and how to care for the body He entrusted to you. Let this day be a turning point for you. Spots are limited. Learn more and register with link in bio. #FaithAndFitness #WomenSupportingWomen #InThisTogether
{Sunday Devotion - Your Beautiful Mess} “Withou {Sunday Devotion - Your Beautiful Mess} “Without oxen a stable stays clean, but you need a strong ox for a large harvest.” Proverbs 14:4 (NLT) Life is messy. If you live it, that is. What’s the meaning of this verse? No oxen means a clean stable. But nothing gets done either. However, if you want a harvest, you’re going to need an ox. I don’t need to tell you what comes with an ox, but it’s certainly not a clean stable. The note in my Bible says, “Some disturbance is necessary for growth and accomplishment to occur.” Do you want to grow? To improve in an area of your life? Keep moving forward and making progress? It’s going to take some work, and oftentimes that means it’s going to get messy. I don’t like to sweat. I don’t like to be hot. But I exercise most every day; therefore, I get hot and sweaty and stinky. I can appreciate that sweat because I know it’s good for me. I’ve sweat through many miles to train for marathons. There’s nothing like crossing that finish line and reaching those goals. But it wasn’t always pretty getting there. The diet industry preys on women who want quick fixes. They create what looks like a neat and easy plan to follow. But then it doesn’t work like it was supposed to, and you don’t get results. You’re left feeling like a failure having made no progress. Worse yet, you’ve gone backwards. How about focusing on your own life and living your own beautiful mess. Give yourself permission to get dirty, do the hard work, and reap the benefits along the way. Try out different ways to exercise and find the one that you can stick to and that gets you to your goals. Listen to your body and learn your hunger and fullness cues then honor them. You won't get it right every time, but when you put in the work, you’ll get results. What’s going to be your ox? What area of your life are you going to disturb so that you can make progress? Get a little messy and start living your life. The result will be your own beautiful mess! Action Step: Are you willing to get a little messy to make the progress you want? That might require reaching out and asking for help. Let’s create your own beautiful mess! Happy Sunday!
Psalm 91 tells us that “Whoever dwells in the sh Psalm 91 tells us that “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.” The next time you walk outside and see YOUR shadow, let it remind you that you are safe in HIS shadow.

If it's Thursday, it's Zoom Day! Before COVID, m If it's Thursday, it's Zoom Day! Before COVID, my Faith and Fitness Membership Community zoomed 1-2x month. When our world turned upside down, we started meeting weekly via zoom and haven't looked back. I got this message from one member: "I so appreciate our zoom meetings. When the pandemic began this group was a lifeline for me." In fact, our zoom meetings have become one of their favorite parts of the membership. Even though we aren't physically in the same room, we are chatting in real time, laughing, sharing, and supporting each other with whatever is happening in her life while strengthening our faith and our fitness. You see, it's about treating and transforming the whole person. You must take an integrated approach to your health and wellness to get sustainable lasting results. These women didn't suffer from the "pandemic weight gain" because they had been building their healthy lives on a foundation of faith. They knew where to turn for support and accountability and had a community where they could come for encouragement. If you're missing that piece of support and accountability in your life, we're here for you. The membership is now open. Join us tonight for our zoom call just to check it out. (Message me for details.) Another member had this to say: "I love our conversations on Zoom, laughter, serious, a good exchange of ideas. I also love the daily encouragement at check in. This group is perfect for anyone seeking accountability without judgment."

When the women in my membership check in each even When the women in my membership check in each evening, they check in according to the 4 pillars of my Faith and Fitness Framework™. One of those pillars is exercise. They aren't given a workout program or a diet plan to follow. They get to decide how to move in a way that they enjoy. Just as everyone who enters a race runs at their own pace so do these women. They are on the journey together but choosing the way to eat and exercise that honors her unique body. They are learning their pace while cheering each other on. If you need a group of women to run the race with you, the doors to my membership are open. We're ready to welcome you!
