Caring for Our Bodies

We must take a holistic approach to caring for our wellness, viewing all three pillars—physical, emotional, and spiritual—as equally important.

 

 

 

Week one is done... how is everyone doing and if you are not doing the September Sacrifice... why not? What are you afraid of? Failure? You will fail, many times but then you will get back up and start again! I made it two days then caved for some peanut butter. I did not sweat it, it was a treat I had at my moms and I told myself if I just stick to being able to have it there 1-2 times a week then I am good to go. I just cannot touch it at home! As it sends me into a down word spiral of peanut butter addiction! HA, ha, kind of. We all have our vices. We have foods or drinks or behaviors that tempt us. Things that prevent us from being the best version of ourselves. So what are they and why do you still have them in your lives... I am talking about food, beverage, people... yes even people. You want to surround yourself with people who are helping you to be the best version of yourself and nothing less. If they are not then they are just bringing you down. Think about it! It is a good lesson for adults as well as children. Choose your friends wisely! We cannot choose our family members, in laws and all but we can choose our friends. Imagine life surrounding yourself with those who are constantly building you up and praying for you! One in particular stands out... yes I mean the big GOD. He is always there for you and trust me when I tell you He, hears you. He listens and He does grant what you ask. You may not think so sometimes and you may thing WHY is He is doing this to me....... Trust me God knows what we need way more than what we do, no matter what we think.

 Lean on HIM, talk to him, ask for help from Him. It may seem awkward at first but soon it will become natural and you will wonder why you did not do it a long time ago!

Ok I am done.... this is my Father in me... the little evangelist!

 

So as we move into colder temperatures and more clothes what are your new fitness goals going to be? Hibernation and 10 pounds? Or are you going to work hard and get out there despite the cooler temperatures and be active. Choose to make wise choices during the Iowa State and Iowa Games? Tailgating??? You actually can do it healthy believe it or not!

In comments share your list of healthy things you can bring to a tailgate or even a party...

 

In the meantime here are some more recipes to try.
