Transformations are fun while they last. But most Transformations are fun while they last. But most that you can see, don't last. My nails transformed from plain to painted, and I love the transformation. But it won't last. The polish will chip away, and eventually I'll be back to plain fingernails. It's why you'll never see a before and after bare midriff here. I guarantee all those before and after photos you see will eventually change. (Many already have changed, but you'll never see someone post an after-the-after picture!) People age and things just change (I doubt I need to say more about that 😉). It's life, and it's okay. The transformations that I want to celebrate aren't ones that social media are pushing to the top of your feed, especially as January gets nearer. The ones I choose to celebrate may be seen in a bigger smile or brighter eyes, but most importantly the change is something that has happened inside a woman's heart and in her way of thinking. You can't document that with side by side photos. Those transformations are only apparent when you spend time with her. The people in her circle will notice the difference in the confidence she exudes and the peace that she has with who she is and how she looks. You see, her pursuit of a transformation was never about the number on the scale or the clothing size, she simply wanted to confidently embrace her age and stage of life while living fit and free! If you want that kind of transformation, join me for 5 days starting on Tuesday when we will approach transformations in a healthy way. https://marshaapsley.com/transform (link in bio) What's your favorite nail polish color? #Transform2023 #FaithAndFitness #WomenSupportingWomen #FitAndFree #Transformations

I'm asking you to take 5, 5 days that is, to think I'm asking you to take 5, 5 days that is, to think about transformations in a different way. On Tuesday, I'm kicking off Transformation Challenge. It's a new challenge that will help you approach 2023 with confidence. This transformation challenge won't focus on your body at all. Why? It is a challenge that will transform your mind. We must get things right on the inside for the outside to follow. It's time to transform our thinking about how we approach the care for our bodies. For five days, we'll use scripture to transform our minds. By the end of the five days, you'll be equipped with scripture and a new outlook on yourself and the way to approach the coming year. Are you ready to be transformed? Sign up for my free challenge today: https://marshaapsley.com/transform (link in bio)

It's time to challenge our thinking about transfor It's time to challenge our thinking about transformations. When I started helping women live fit and free several years ago, I said then and I still maintain, you will not see before and after pictures here. This is not a space where you will ever see a bare midriff. While women I work with have lost weight, that will never be our top priority. The transformation we're focusing on is one that happens on the inside. It's a transformation like "I'm getting closer to God." It's hearing from someone who proudly says, "I was in the pictures during Thanksgiving." Instead of focusing on weight lost, we focus on confidence gained. When you gain confidence in who you are, Whose you are, and how you were made, you'll learn to live a healthy life that is sustainable. Body change becomes a by-product. One week from today, I'm going to spend 5 days helping you transform your mind so you can face January with confidence. When the diet industry comes preying on you, you won't be distracted. It's time to stop conforming to the world and become transformed by the renewing of your mind. (See Romans 12:2.)

This is your friendly reminder that even though it This is your friendly reminder that even though it's Monday - a Monday following a holiday weekend at that - you don't have to start over. You don't need to "tighten up." Simply get your daily dose of Jesus, fresh air, and movement. Drink some water. Eat in a way that leaves you feeling satisfied and not stuffed. If you're struggling today, reach out to me. Make this Monday, and every Monday from here on out, different! You were meant to live fit and free. I want to help you do that so that you can embrace your age and stage of life. #LiveYourBestLife #HealthyHoliday #FitAndFree #FaithAndFitness #MondayMotivation #BetterMonday #HealthLivingTips
{Sunday Devotion - Morning by Morning}⁠ ⁠ Morn {Sunday Devotion - Morning by Morning}⁠ ⁠ Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will. Isaiah 50:4b (NLT)⁠ ⁠ Every morning He is faithful to lead and guide us if we will let Him. ⁠ ⁠ Breaking free from a life of dieting and watching my weight wasn’t a one and done happening. Every day, I have to lay that concern at His feet and trust Him to guide me to make the choices that keep me living in freedom but also healthy in body, mind, and spirit. His will for you and me is to live free. But the Bible also tells us not to use that freedom to indulge in the flesh (see Galatians 5:13). This is why we must choose to obey Him. Living in freedom doesn’t mean we have no boundaries. It simply means that we choose to stay safe within the boundaries God has lovingly set for us.⁠ ⁠ There are many things in life that can distract us. Things that tempt us to push the boundaries. We have a choice to make each day. When He calls, every morning when He wakens us, we must answer. We get the choice to listen. When we do, He will lead us. Will you follow?⁠ ⁠ Action Step: Every morning, listen to His voice through prayer, scripture, and reflection. Give Him your day then be ready for Him to guide you through it and choose to obey.⁠ ⁠ Happy Sunday! ⁠ ⁠ ⁠ #SundayDevotion #MorningRoutine #GoodMorning #SundayMorning #GodsWord #FaithAndFitness #FitAndFree

What you get by achieving your goals is not as imp What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals. ~ Zig Ziglar It's about the journey. The transformation happens along the way. If it's going to be sustainable, it'll be gradual change. Oftentimes, it won't be noticeable right away. But you know it's happening. You begin to feel differently. You'll act differently. You'll live differently. You'll become a different person. The question is, is that person that you become who you want to be? Most of the time it is, but sometimes we set goals we think we should set. I'm thinking of weight loss. When that goal drives a person to become distracted from embracing your present life it's not going to result in you becoming a better you. You might be a smaller you but too often that means smaller in lots of other ways too, not just body size. My goal of ditching diets and finding a way to maintain a healthy lifestyle resulted in me becoming fit and free. If that's your goal, I can help you. I want to help you. Until the end of the weekend, I'm running some specials. My books, my #Moderation365 coaching, my support and accountability community are all things that can help you live fit and free. Check them out or reach out to me so we can discuss which option is best for you. {Specials were in the weekly email I sent out on Tuesday and posted earlier this week.} #FitAndFree #FaithAndFitness #GoalGetter #Goals #HealthyLiving #WomenOver40 #WomenOver50
