Curbing Those Hunger Pains

It has been just over two weeks that I have been daily working out on my Wii Fit Plus and made changes to some of my eating habits. Notice that I said “some.” I am a big advocate of taking small steps. I have managed to successfully shed a few pounds and I can feel a real difference in my energy levels. Having an exercise routine isn’t the biggest struggle. It is the eating where I fall. So I have put some plans into motion that include things like adding more fiber into my diet which helps you to feel … Continue reading →

A Review of “Made to Crave” by Lysa TerKeurst

I was so excited about three weeks ago when I received in the mail two free copies of “Made to Crave” by Lysa TerKeurst, president of Proverbs 31 Ministries.

Using Faith in Fitness

I am very excited about next Monday as I will be posting a blog on a review I am doing for a book called “Made to Crave” written by Lysa TerKeurst, who is President of Proverbs 31 Ministries. Until then I wanted to give this little teaser. Lysa TerKeurst was recently a guest blogger on CNN’s Belief blogs called, “My Take: When the Fat Girl Got Mad at God.” I can’t recommend the blog enough. Lysa gets real about her struggle with food and how her faith has helped her to overcome unhealthy eating habits. The blog stirred some controversy. … Continue reading →

A Wallet For Budgeting?

Have you set up a new budget for the New Year? Do you revise your budget as things in your life change? Maybe you think of budget as a four letter word. Budgeting and dieting are a lot alike. A diet restricts food intake and cuts out everything that we think of as fun food. That’s why diets don’t work. A lot of people view budgets in the same way. Everything that is a must-pay is added to the budget and there’s often no room for fun in an effort to get finances in order. How is a budget going … Continue reading →
