Get The Most Out of Your Workout
A very common New Years resolution is to workout and get healthy! I resolved to continue to remain as healthy as I possibly can this year. If you also made a resolution to be a healthier you in 2017, here are a few tips and tricks to help you keep that resolution!
Just do it! You may not feel like working out, but let me tell you, you will not regret it! You will only regret the times you skipped working out not the times you did it!
Stop making excuses! You are your own worst enemy! Trust me, I know all about the head games and excuses! You are not really as busy as you think you are! Make time to get in a quick exercise session. You can spare 30-45 min to become a healthier person. You will be so glad that you did!
Be consistent! The more often you exercise the greater impact it will have on your life. As with many things consistency is what brings results. Long term health is more important than short-term results.
Don’t waste your time! If you are going to take the time to work out give it your all! Don’t take the easy way out, do your best. Be completely present in what you are doing. Think about the muscles you are working
Have a plan! If you are new to exercising and working out, make sure you have a plan! Have you ever heard the saying “Fail to plan, plan to fail”? It is so true. Having a plan will also help you to not waste your time.
Keep moving! Even if you feel like you might keel over, keep moving. Even if you have to move super slowly, keep moving. If you are moving then you will keep going, if you stop to take a break, you may be able to convince yourself that you don’t need to continue. Keep moving!
Start strong, stay strong, end strong! This is similar to don’t waste your time and keep moving. Anything worth doing is worth doing right! Make the most out of your time. An intense 30 minute workout is worth way more than a half effort hour long session.
Don’t give up! Even if you miss a day here or there, or haven’t been consistent at all, that doesn’t mean you have to give up! Just remember, January may be the start of the new year, but you can start a new healthy lifestyle any day you want to! Most people give up on their New Years resolutions by February. You got this, don’t let that be you! Don’t give up!
Good Luck in 2017!

No Need To Be Afraid
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.”
I sought the LORD, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears.
Psalm 34:4
“Do one thing every day that scares you.”

Healthy Is As Healthy… Thinks?
Mental health is one of the most important parts of weight loss.
Losing weight, while it is physical is not really a physical challenge, it is totally a mental thing. You have to constantly keep your thoughts focused.
1. Stay positive! Focus on the positive aspects of your body, instead of all the things that you dislike about it.
2. Change the way you think about food and exercise! Don’t tell yourself “I can’t”
“I can’t eat that because I want to lose weight.”
“I can’t enjoy any of the foods that I use to because I am eating healthy now.”
Instead think “I can!”
“I can feel good about the food I am putting into my body.”
“I can do one more lap..rep..minute..interval”
3. Make your goals realistic! You will be more likely to succeed if the goals are actually attainable. Set mini goals with a larger goal in mind.
Instead of a blanket statement of “I need to lose 45 pounds” set a goal of “I will be more active and make healthy food choices for today.”
One healthy choice at a time, one day at a time is a lot easier to achieve than an over whelming goal of 45 pounds. Once you reach your goal set a new one.
I hope that you found this to be helpful!

What Is Your Potential…
Po·ten·tial
adjective: Having or showing the capacity to become or develop into something in the future.
Sometimes we just need to give ourselves a little bit more time to reach our full potential.
While this bud is beautiful in its own way, it has so much potential inside of it to be amazing! If we were to only judge this flower on what is seen right now at this very moment the flower is cut short of what it actually is meant to be. In just a few short days this bud will blossom and bloom into a large beautiful flower. Right now at this moment it is full of potential. All it needs is a little bit of sunshine, water, and time.
It is easy to judge ourselves and others on what we see before us, when in actuality we all have so much potential inside of us. Sometimes all we need is a little sunshine, water, and time to reach our full bloom.

Should You Workout When You’re Sick?
I have been feeling a bit yuck the last few days, either I have a cold or my allergies are acting up. (Yup, I am totally looking for some sympathy here, lol) When I am feeling stuffed up, despite wanting to lay around and feel sorry for myself, I generally feel better when I keep active.
The general advice I’ve heard from doctors is if your symptoms are from the neck up (sore throat, coughing, runny nose, congested sinuses), it’s fine to participate in light exercising activities. You know your body, don’t push it too much but listen to the way you feel. Sometimes a workout is just what you may need to feel better! Personally I get a lot of sinus headaches, and often after I exercise I feel a lot better!
If you are having symptoms that include muscle or joint pain, along with headache, fever, malaise (overall general feeling of yuck), diarrhea, or vomiting do not workout. When in doubt, ask your doctor and listen to your body!
Please don’t go to the gym if you are sick. Not only could you pick up additional bugs while your immune system is already not at 100%, but you could also be spreading your germs to every one else. It is usually great to share, but not when it is germs!
Remember that after you are sick you might need to ease yourself back into a workout routine. Don’t over do it since you might end up making yourself feel worse later on! Listen to your body, get plenty of rest, and keep hydrated!

My Savior’s Always There For Me
My Savior, My God!
I am not skilled to understand
What God has willed what God Has planned
I only know at his right hand
Stands one who is my Savior
I take him at his word and deed
Christ died to save me this I read
And in my heart I find the need
Of him to be my Savior
That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You called it strange so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
Yes living, dying let me bring
My strength my Solace from the Spring
That he who lives to be my king
Once died to be my Savior
That he would leave his place on high
And come for sinful man to die
You called it strange, so once did I
Before I knew my Savior
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior’s always there for me
My God he was
My God he is
My God he’s always gonna be
My Savior lives
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
My Savior loves
My Savior lives
