Change That Lasts

Ready to make changes...that actually last?

Do you have a list that rolls around in your head of things you would “like to change about yourself, your home life, your work life, etc.?” You know the one. The ONE that NEVER gets completed or perhaps even chipped away at??? Yeah, that one. Very discouraging, isn’t it?

Well, here’s a little trick to help you conquer that list once and for all! You are going to start SMALL but make BIG changes and progress!

Simply follow the step-by-step instructions in the above graphic. I know, sounds so simple, doesn’t it? Well, it can be. However, it also takes some discipline and practice!

Making that list of 5 goals is the easy part. Take your TOP 5 ONLY into account here and list them by priority.

Next, take your #1 goal and let’s make it habit-forming. Nothing truly happens in life, if we don’t make it a habit! The best way to make something a habit is to “stack it” within something else you already do. For example, if you always drink coffee or hot tea in the morning and you want to form the habit of reading your Bible first thing, then place your Bible right by your coffee brewer. Then, while your coffee is brewing, go ahead and read a few verses! Read a Psalm, for example or even a few verses of a Psalm. Pretty soon, you won’t be able to sip your first cup without reading those verses! You’ll be amazed at how well this works! You can use this stacking technique with anything! You can certainly use this with decluttering your home, losing weight, etc.

After you have mastered your #1 goal, go onto the next, master it following the above technique and so on. Before you know it, those 5 things on your list will be HABITS!!

One of my favorite books on this subject is “Atomic Habits” by James Clear. This book helps you “master tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.” You can find it on Amazon or wherever books are sold.

Counting Macros 101

Counting Macros is a way to track food intake using grams of protein, carbs, and fats (macronutrients) instead of calories. The advantage of focusing on macronutrients (over calories) is gaining knowledge regarding the quality of your food, and how it affects your body. The disadvantage of tracking macros is that you have to plan, measure, and record everything you eat. For some people, that can be a bit confusing and intimidating, especially when you first get started. For other “type A” personalities, it’s like putting together a puzzle! You work at making your macro goals fit together each day.

If Counting Macros sounds like a weight-loss strategy you would like to try, but feels a bit intimidating, then go HERE to sign up for the Fueled for GOD Health Coaching (it’s FREE) and we will set you up with the right ratios and coach you through all that math!

Carb Cycling 101

Okay, so what is Carb Cycling? Carb cycling involves switching between high-carb days, low-carb days, and moderate-carb days throughout the week to encourage fat loss and muscle growth. Cycling your carbs helps you lose weight, while avoiding the low mood associated with more restrictive low-carb diets.

Some of the benefits of carb cycling include:
Increasing insulin sensitivity
Boosting metabolism
Helps preserve muscle mass (which helps burn more fat)
…and more!
Carb cycling is a fairly straight forward process, and any good nutrition coach can walk you right through it.
