How Sleep and Stress Affect Weight Loss

Rape. Gluttony. Anxiety. Infertility. Endometriosis. Autoimmune- My Journey to Healing

Psalm 139: O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it. Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night, even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you. For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them! If I would count them, they are more than the sand. I awake, and I am still with you. Search me, O God, and know my heart! Try me and know my thoughts! And see if there be any grievous way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.  It is only through the healing power of the Holy Spirit that you will ever be free from the burdens of your body in your weight loss journey. Father, thank You for making me, me. Help me to start the process to forgive myself and heal myself from the inside out. I know I have to do the inner work before I can achieve the outer blessing. Help me to shift my perspective of what true health looks like. I want to live for You alone Jesus, help me to quiet the lies of the enemy and a culture that wants me skinny. I only want You Lord and to honor You in all I do. Yes, I have goals but I want them to be what You put on my heart, take anything from me that is not of You and help me to learn to walk in obedience regardless of the scale. I love You Lord and I am so thankful for this body You have given me, forgive me for taking advantage of her and shaming her, that stops today. Help Psalm 139 live in my heart forever Lord as a reminder of Your love for me. Thank You Jesus for Your sacrifice, resurrection and ascension, let me live like You today, with Resurrection power!

Living in an GLP-1 World

Romans 12:2 says. “Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”  Matthew 7:13-14 reminds us to: “Enter by the narrow gate. For the gate is wide and the way is easy that leads to destruction, and those who enter by it are many. 14 For the gate is narrow and the way is hard that leads to life, and those who find it are few.” Where are you trying to force weight loss in your life?  Where are you trying to quick fix your way out of healing?  Will you let God be glorified through your weight loss the way He desires to be?  Lord, I repent. I am so focused on self and quick fixes I don’t know how to let You lead this area of my life, but I want to. I want to give up the easy way and take the narrow gate, but I’m scared. I’m scared to face my trauma and forgive, but I know it’s the only path to healing. Help me Jesus, I need you to calm my fears about my weight and my body. I don’t want to conform to the world, I want to live as a citizen of heaven here on Earth. Show me how Father, I need You to speak to my soul, fill me with Your Holy Spirit and lead me to where I should go. I love You Lord, thank You for leading this part of my journey, I know it will be hard but I know that it will be worth it. It’s in Jesus most Holy Name I pray, Amen.  *This episode is for informational purposes only, not intended for medical advice. * Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?

Jeremiah 29:11 [https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jeremiah%2029%3A11&version=NLT]”For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope.” Just do Something: -eat like it,  -pray like it - move like it - fuel like it -prep a healthy meal -do your affirmations - take the progress photo.

I know You are the true source of health and life and goodness and I ache to live and eat and move for you. Be the sound in my head Lord; lead me to Your path of righteousness and help me to move and eat how You would have me. Show me how Jesus, I want to learn and DO not be complacent. Help me to move without fear and lean into all You have for me. Thank You for healing me from the inside out Lord, I love You so much. Amen!

Struggling to Love Your Body- This One is For You

Psalm 139:130 16: "For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them." Listen friend, no amount of weight loss will make you happy or love yourself until you love yourself today, right now as you are. You are enough; even in the middle of your mess, you're enough. * Shame is a lie the enemy uses to stall your weight loss. He plants lies in your head, distractions in your life, your phone, doubt in your journey. We either let Him win or we surrender to God, there is no other way. Which will you choose today? I know you’re tired of your struggles and I am right there with you, but God isn’t, He knew this would be a struggle area in your life and He wants to heal you, if you’ll only surrender to His still small voice.  * Stewardship is worship — treating your body with love, not punishment. When we eat whole healthy foods, we honor God, when we rest and exercise and speak truth and serve, we honor God. Stewarding your body well, honors God. There is no place for shame in the life or body or weight loss journey of a believer. Ask God to reveal your hurt places and to heal you, and He will.  I’d like to challenge you to do 3 things this week as you begin to pray and ask God to work in this area of your life?  *  #1- Speak aloud 3 truths about your body from Scripture. I am fearfully and wonderfully made, I know this full well. I am a child of the Most High God. He knows me, He numbered the hair on my head, He chose me before Genesis 1. Which will you cling to today? * #2- Declutter social media or habits that feed comparison. Listen, social media is keeping you from healing here. Let’s be real. You’re wasting time that could be spent walking or prepping or reading or sleeping. Put your phone down and live your life!  * # 3- Practice 1 loving act of stewardship: hydration, rest, gentle movement, food prep, being present with the people you’re with. Find peace knowing that God will provide when you seek Him with all your heart.  “God, I repent of the ways I’ve spoken shame over my body. Teach me to steward this temple with grace, not guilt. Thank you for new mercies each day and your constant reminder that I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?

Exercising and Not Losing Weight? ONE Mistake You're Probably Making

HAPPY 250th BIRTHDAY AMERICA!! I hope you had a great weekend! “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.” — 3 John 1:2 Eat More Food- The answer is building a healthy metabolism, one day one step, one choice at a time. -Fat loss after 40 requires muscle support - One of the biggest mistakes women over 40 make is trying to eat as little as possible. But muscle burns energy and with no muscle you’re actually killing your body and aching bones are your constant. If you don’t build muscle and tone your metabolism slows. The goal should never be skinny or lighter on the scale, but toned, lean and flexible. These are the keys to a healthy life. That means: * prioritizing protein * strength training * walking consistently * sleeping well * managing stress Your goal is not to become smaller at all costs. Your goal is becoming healthier and stronger as you steward your God-given body. Most women are stuck in the cycle of: * “starting Monday” * being extremely strict * burning out by overtraining- this is my biggest struggle. * overeating * feeling ashamed * repeating the cycle Step 1: Eat protein at every meal-30-40 grams, 4-5 times per day. You have to eat more food if you want to lose weight forever. Build your meals around protein. MACROS make all the difference here!  Examples: * eggs and turkey sausage * Greek yogurt and berries * chicken salad * cottage cheese * salmon Protein helps preserve muscle, balance blood sugar, and keeps you full. Step 2: Walk daily - Walking is incredibly underrated. Start to track your steps daily then add 1-2,000 daily to get started, working up to 6,000, then 8,000.  Start with: * 20–30 minutes daily * after meals if possible- did you know that walking for 2 minutes after you eat helps regulate your blood sugar?  * outside for stress relief Walking supports fat loss, hormones, blood sugar, and mood. Step 3: Stop restarting- You do not need another “all or nothing” Monday. If you overeat at lunch? Make a healthy dinner. If you miss a workout? Move tomorrow. Women who lose weight long-term learn how to keep going when life happens and we all know life will happen, daily. Praise God right?! Just do the next right thing! Heavenly Father, Thank You for creating our bodies with wisdom and purpose. Help me stop chasing extremes and start walking in consistency, discipline and Holy Spirit led strength. Renew my mind where I’ve believed lies about my worth being in my weight of my size. Teach me to steward my health in a way that honors You Lord. And thank You for grace when I need it. Give me patience for lasting transformation, transformation in my life and thoughts that point me back to You Lord, that is the true transformation I yearn for. I want my life, my body, my choices to be a reflection of You alone Jesus. It’s in Your Most Holy Name I pray, Amen. Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?
