21-Day Challenge
You completely neglect your body.
You run from hard things like the plague…in fact, running away from hard things is the only kind of running you are interested in doing. The idea of working out and eating right are the farthest things from your mind because you just don’t feel like you can or want to add another thing to your plate.
You are forever dieting.
You count calories and do cardio and are just in a constant state of back and forth. You do good all week but then blow it on the weekend effectively gaining back every pound that you lost during the week. You never enjoy your food because you are either restricting and cutting out the foods you love or binging and feeling guilty for the foods you indulge in.
You are obsessed with body goals.
You feel a deep need to prove yourself by making yourself strong or beautiful. You are working hard for a certain body goal and so hopeful that when you finally hit that goal, everything will fall into place just like you had always dreamed. You feel that when you ‘arrive’ you will finally feel confident and that number on the scale will somehow bring you every bit of happiness that your heart is so longing for!
You are confused when it comes to fitness and nutrition.
You want to start; you just don’t know where!! ‘Aunt Judy’s sister did keto and lost 50 pounds but my friend Karen’s doctor says keto is bad for you. On the other hand, Sam’s roommate, Chad, does paleo and CrossFit and he looks like a Greek god…maybe that’s the one for me!!’ Goodness, there are so many fad diets out there that no wonder it is confusing!! Whole30, paleo, clean eating, sugar-free, low fat, low carb, the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on…you get the point! It’s all so confusing that you just don’t bother starting anything at all!
If you fall into any of those categories, you are in the right place! We are going to cover how you should eat, how you should train, and how you can do it all in a way that will hold value in this life and in the life to come!
I won’t toot my own horn and hand out my qualifications or limitations, but I will shout from the rooftops the incredible, transforming power of inviting God into every area of your life.
I am simply a girl who is fighting with her most powerful weapon, her testimony. I have been in every one of the places listed above and have found overwhelming victory.
In one season, I was overweight and neglectful.
In another, I was confused and stagnant.
In another, I was in a never-ending cycle of dieting.
In another, I was obsessed and striving.
I transformed my body, hit my goal weight and in the process, completely lost myself. Sure, my body looked better, but I felt no better on the inside. I thought for sure that when I got to my goal body, I’d finally feel confident and complete but that was not the case at all. I have done it all the wrong way, but in the last few years, I have spent countless hours seeking God on how to do it the right way! In his goodness, he has revealed so many things to me and I simply must share them with the world!!
With that, I will share with you my focus of this 21-day challenge:
You CAN do hard things – but you don’t HAVE to do them to prove yourself!
