Details on Post Schedule

I find that when having a more focused topic that it helps to have a rhythm of how things will flow. There is so much that I want to share and talk about that I have shared with individuals through emails but it is a lot of information so it needs to be broken down and come in increments. I also think that one of the best things you can do when looking at making a lifestyle change is to step into it gradually. We are not in sprint mode we are in marathon mode. Training for a marathon takes time if you want that stamina to finish strong. Fitness and health and your spiritual walk is a lot like training for a marathon. Keep that thought in mind as you slowly make changes and be happy with progress that comes slow and steady because those are the changes that are going to stick with you and won't just be a quick fix or a phase.

Right now I am looking at setting the posts up as listed below. I will label the posts and try to make them easy to find. We can modify as we go along if needed. I look forward to getting started!!!

Mondays-Devotional thought for the week from current study I am leading for a group or one that I am doing just for myself. This will be a great way to center yourself and get in  a great mindset to start the week off right.

Wednesdays-Fitness tips, tricks and resources. This is where a ton of information lies that has helped me over the past 3 years and I want to pass that on. The times that I have passed it on I have felt like I have overwhelmed people so it will be a great way to introduce one idea a week that will help set you on your training for a lifestyle change.

Fridays- Fun, fast and easy go to meal prep ideas. I chose Fridays for this because if youre like me you shop on weekends and try new meals on weekends so that when you need a go to for weekdays you have it down pat. I have learned that one of the biggest hurdles to getting the fitness thing down is learning how to eat and what to cook. With two kids 4 and 6 and a house and husband to care for it needs to be easy. I also get pretty easily discouraged with tons of ingredients. I also like recipes that have ingredients that can be easily substituted. Don't have chicken use beef or ground turkey. It all boils down to simplicity but it HAS to taste good.

Saturdays-Weekend Motivation. It is hard sometimes when the weekend hits and you are tired and have a million other things to do whether you work inside the home or outside the home. The reality is that we all have time. If you have 10-30 minutes you have time to sneak something in. I urge you to take the motivation offered here and peel yourself off that couch and get it done. Chances are once you get up you will not sit back down again because you will have more energy than you could imagine and you will feel good!! When you take those few moments to invest in yourself the return on that investment reaches far and wide. It allows you to have more to give to those around you which in turn blesses everyone!!

Look forward to hearing you feedback and how/if this is helpful to you as we go along.
