I have had cravings since I was 13 specifically. I remember the day I felt rejection and somehow connected that to needing to eat more of what I was given for supper. I remember going to church picnics and told to "eat up". But now I've turned a major new leaf for mysel and am continually working towards health. I occasionally indulge in pizza and ice cream from time to time, but NOT the way I USED to. I am learning self-control and how to give GOD control!!
Has food become more about frustration than fulfillment? Do you feel like you are always saying "I'll start getting healthy on Monday"? Do you agonize over the number on the scale and feel guilty about it? Listen, that is NOT what God intended for us! Insert a book that changed my life and mindset: Made to Crave by Lysa Terkuerst. I have learned that many of us turn to food for comfort, instead of God. Many struggle with reaching healthy goals WHILE growing closer with God. Lysa discusses the missing link between a woman's desire to be healthy and the spiritual empowerment necessary to make that happen in this book.
I feel like the best place to start is with turning our cravings from food into cravings for God. That is what this book helps us do AND more specifically the devotional which is 60 days.
In this group there will a short message posted daily that addresses and challenges our cravings. In addition to changing our hearts, we will focus as a group on changing our health through whole food nutrition and daily exercise. It will literally be the whole package. You will FEEL good from the inside out. Looking for freedom from the scale? Here it is!
Ok, so the book sounds great, but what IS a "challenge group?" I'm glad you asked! A challenge group is a place for like-minded people to work together to achieve their health and fitness goals. I have been running these groups with great success, but I've never run one quite like this! Challenge groups have a ton of SUPPORT, ENCOURAGEMENT, and all kinds of things to help you live the healthiest life possible! Recipes, daily tips and motivation, and a place to log your progress every single day, will keep you on track. You will feel much BETTER as we work on both our HEART and our health! Want to learn more? Be assured that you will also receive 1:1 coaching and support from ME every step of the way.
How long is the group? The group will last 5 weeks. You can CHOOSE to begin either Monday, August 7th or Monday, August 21st. (FYI, it takes about one week to obtain materials but you immediately have access to the Netflix of workouts (Beachbody on Demand), a cooking show Fixate along with workout calendars and nutrition guides). The first week is set up as a prep week. You will learn what clean eating is, how to make a meal plan, grocery lists, and how to take "before" pictures and measurements so you can track your progress. There are no embarrassing weigh-ins and you can choose to send your "befores" just to me as your coach (to hold you accountable), or just keep them for yourself.
What kinds of exercise is involved? Again your challenge pack will include a FULL YEAR of Access to the Netflix of Fitness Workouts, Program Calendars and Nutrition Guides (Beachbody on Demand) where you can stream all this online on any electronic device! You and I will narrow down what programs may be best for your body's current needs.
