Hey Gorgeous – The Holiday Season is here! Woo-hoo-ish! It always seems to come quicker than I’m ready for it, but we’re in it =). My eyes were opened by a statistic I read that the average holiday meal is 3,000 calories – and if you add on appetizers and dessert, it can easily reach 4,500. Again – that’s ONE meal. Now nobody wants to think about “healthy” during the holidays, so here’s a toolkit of […]

Hey Gorgeous – I got on the scale the other day and realized I gained 3 pounds. For clarity, I don’t promote or practice focusing on the number on the scale. In fact, Fit thru Faith focuses on “life gain” vs. “weight loss.” I believe that your body was created 100% naturally by God. And when you eat the food that God created for your body to thrive and move consistently, your body will in […]

As my pastor says, “it’s tight, but it’s right.” And if it ignites you into action, I will sleep well tonight. =). So here it goes…if you are a believer, or at […]

Hey Gorgeous – I have a confession to make. I’m having a love affair. We’re still in the early “dating” stages, but so far it’s delicious. Taking it slow, because I want this relationship to last. My husband actually knows all about it and supports it, because he’s starting to see the benefits :-). My new boo’s name is H.C. – that’s short for “home cooking.” The reason this love affair is working is because […]

Hey Gorgeous! So I’m just going to jump into the deep end and keep it real. REALITY CHECK! It really doesn’t matter if I tell you that sugar lights up your brain the same way that cocaine does. It really doesn’t matter if I tell you that 47% of the added sugar in the Standard American Diet (S.A.D.) comes from sugary and carbonated beverages. It really doesn’t matter if I tell you that the Center […]
