Looking back, I realize I had some tools to process emotional pain, but didn’t really know how to fully apply them in a season where everything felt so overwhelming. So I went to food and started binging shows on HGTV to numb the pain. Once the major crisis began to d...

#60: A Pretty NEAT Concept

June 16, 2021 11:00 - 18 minutes - 10.1 GB

“You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I’m far away.” – Psalm 139:2 (NLT) Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) is kind of neat. It is calories you burn just moving about throughout the day. For example, if a 150lb female were to stand for 5 hours, she would burn almost 200 calories more than if she were to sit for 5 hours. Simple, standing is more challenging to the body than sitting. Fidgeting is also a form of NEAT. Those that do manual labor have...

#56 Good Pain vs. Injury Pain

May 19, 2021 11:00 - 19 minutes - 11 GB

Good pain is DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness) that may last for a couple of days after your workout. Injury Pain typically is a sharp pain or can be an ache that just won’t go away. A hard workout will create some good pain in the form of sore muscles, especially in the beginning after a long layoff  Generally, an injury pain will continue to get worse as you continue the workout. If it begins to fade as you warm-up, it’s usually not an injury.  The exception is sometimes a stress ...

#50 Acceptance is Key

April 07, 2021 11:00 - 22 minutes - 12.3 GB

A lot of us are stuck in bondage to our bodies in one form or another. It could be emotional eating, hating the way our bodies look or trying to control our bodies. They say the final stage of the grief cycle is acceptance. And I believe that acceptance is one of the keys to body freedom.

When you do a harder workout, it’s important to rebuild your body with good nutrition. Eating something with protein and carbs will help replenish and get the rebuilding process going.

#47 Workouts as Worship

March 17, 2021 11:00 - 21 minutes - 12.3 GB

Most of the time when we think of a workout, we think of the word WORK. It feels hard and boring. Or you might be goal-oriented like we tend to be and become so obsessed with the goal that you stop enjoying the movement. What I’ve discovered over the past 4.5 years is that when I invite God into my workouts they can become worship. It becomes an extension of my time with Him. “‘For in him we live and move and have our being.’ As some of your own poets have said, ‘We are his offspring...
