This photo of Steve posing on stage at bodybuilding show in Boca Raton popped up in my Facebook memory today and it reminded me how powerful training with intention is, compared to just working out. First, I have to say, I just love the Classic Physique division of the NPC. From the artistic poses to the focus on conditioning (muscle definition) over looking like the Incredible Hulk, it’s fun to…

We can still enjoy the holiday season, indulge in a few treats and prevent holiday pounds by applying these simple diet and fitness guidelines! 1. Start your day with 35-50 grams of protein. Not only does a high-protein diet support your fitness goals, research shows people who eat high-protein breakfasts eat fewer calories…

Thanksgiving can be the beginning of a downward spiral if you aren’t careful. That is why it is SO IMPORTANT to jump right back on plan. Here is how you can ditch the Thanksgiving weight in 3 days. If you’re like me, you had your Thanksgiving fun and need to turn things back around quick. You know what I say! “It’s all fun and games until your jeans don’t fit!” hahahahaha 1. Get Rid of the…

We were recently talking to someone who said they have tried all kinds of ab exercises and never feel like they are working. Well, just because you do something that looks like a crunch doesn’t mean it’s actually working your abs properly. We can lift our body off the ground using all kinds of additional muscles and methods to get us up. We may throw our arms, use our hip flexors, throw a med…

When someone eats chicken breast, fish, vegetables and fresh fruit, they call it “dieting” but when people ate the same thing 2,000 years ago, they called it a feast. Maybe it’s time to rethink healthy eating and shift your mindset for success. “DIET” Is NOT a Four-Letter Word When someone says the word “DIET”, most people immediately think of calorie restrictions and whatever diet fat that’s…

Some of you may know I like to run. Well, I don’t really “like” to run but I like the benefits of running, so it’s incredibly important I am able to continue to move pain-free. Falling arches, achy joints, bunions and all the other glorious effects of aging hide under my socks and shoes. So, if I want to continue to maintain an active life, I must be very proactive with taking care of my…

Shoulders are one of the most exposed body parts in the spring and summer. Sleeveless shirt, off the shoulder tops, spaghetti straps and strapless tops bare a lot of skin – and the shoulders are the first thing you see. Here is a short, but intense, shoulder workout to shape those shoulders up so you’ll want to show them off this summer! Choose Your Resistance: Choose one heavy weight…

Struggling with ideas for quick and healthy lunches your kids will actually eat? Have no fear! I’ve got you covered. Our children’s health should be top priority and the best way to make sure our children are eating healthy is to send them to school with the good stuff! But, spending time figuring out what the “good stuff” is, and how to make it, can be overwhelming and time-consuming. So, I put…

Love Is Painfully Time Consuming

You have probably heard the scripture used in weddings that starts with “love is patient“. It’s interesting the author of that text lists patience as the first description of love. However, if you really think it through, we all know true love can be painfully time consuming and requires a LOT of patience. It takes 5 minutes longer than you want to show love (instead of lose your cool) when you…

Is Your “Low Carb” Recipe REALLY Low Carb? Let’s Check!

I was searching for low carb recipes for clients and was shocked what I was finding. Major well known websites were categorizing recipes inaccurately (or so it seemed) – actively marketing “low carb recipes” that clearly did not looks like low carb recipes. The million dollar question is how can you know for sure your low carb recipe is really a low carb? Well, it is much easier than you think.…

Churches Are Full of Hypocrites – And Looking For More

Hypocrisy is one of the most misunderstood and misused words in relationship to church or Christianity. There is a massive difference between someone who desires to live right and fails, and someone who desires to look like they live right but isn’t even trying. I love this church advertisement (whether it is a real ad or not), welcoming more hypocrites to church because, the fact is, we all…

Being Mean Seems To Be Trending

IT STARTS WITH ME The pressure to please everyone and meet everyone’s expectation is growing more and more challenging with the rise of social media. From Tik-Tok to Facebook, it really is hard to be everything we “think” we need to be. Photo filters mask reality and the constant flow of negative opinions and angry comments can make even the happiest people grumpy. It seems as if being mean is…

How To Be A Woman Goal-Crusher in 2022

If I could sum up the last two years, the word I would use is distraction. The last two years have been the biggest distraction for me; throwing me out of my healthy routine, enabling laziness, creating stress, changing the way I shop and eat, and overshadowing so many of the most important things in life. COVID has demanded center stage, often bumping God off that first place spot in my life;…

The One Temperature Check That Really Makes the Difference

As I sipped on my coffee for a quick temperature check, I realized it was officially too cold to drink but not cold enough to taste as good as iced coffee, it reminds me of Revelation 3:15-16 and these words… “32˚ is the temperature where water turns to a solid and 212˚ is the temperature water turns to gas, but there is no measurement for lukewarm. Lukewarm is just the temperature of its…

Marriage with More Muscle: Miracles Can Happen

When things get so bad, it’s hard to even imagine how God could doing anything to help. Needs are physical. Circumstances often are seemingly permanent. Personalities are set and habits are hard to break. How can God change someone’s DNA? I’m not a perfect wife, but God uses our imperfections to perfect each other. I remember Steve saying, “You are never going to change. God isn’t going to just…
