You are hungrier than usual.

Strange things are happening to your body but you don’t really want to deal with it so you just pray that it’s not a big deal. It’s probably just stress-related, right?

How To Buy Organic on a Budget When Processed Food Wrecks Your Focus & Cravings

How To Buy Organic Food On A Budget + And How It Helps With Weight Loss

Don’t tell yourself the lie: You absolutely can afford to buy organic food on a budget.

Although some people don’t believe organic food is worth the extra cost, without having scientific proof, I do believe eating organic and natural foods helped me bring my A1C to a normal range and lose weight to the tune of 60 pounds.

And when I eat healthier and less processed foods, the brain fog that comes with my ADHD symptoms is lifted.  

So I’m a big advocate.

However, it truly breaks my heart that organic and healthy food seems so out of reach for so many people.

I hate the idea that some people can’t get the healthy food they need for their family and themselves.

However, I believe this is changing.

Now that organic food is gaining in popularity, it is so much more accessible and affordable.

The secret is knowing when to stock up on it so that you and your family can eat healthy food all year.

So today I’m going to share with you:Continue reading

7 Habits That Keep You Stuck in Debt (And How to Break Free with God’s Help)

Credit cards.

Student loans.

Mortgages.

Some of us could be drowning in debt and guess what?

We might still decide to finance that vacation we’re going on in July.

That’s because as a society we have this philosophy that credit is free money or this “get it now pay for it later” mindset.

If we want to live debt-free as Christians, we cannot continue this way.

We are called to be good stewards of the money God has entrusted to us.

For so long, I wasn’t a good steward of His money.

I did some silly things with money that got me in major debt and I now regret them but these silly things were also good learning experiences.

I’ve learned that sometimes knowing what you shouldn’t do isn’t a strong enough catalyst to get us to change.

Sometimes, we don’t even realize which financial habits keep us enslaved.

Looking at debt from this angle might help open our eyes.

So how do you get there?Continue reading

18 Lazy Girl Meal Plan Ideas For Weight Loss!

It’s a vicious cycle.

I’ll tell myself that I need to actually follow the meal planning ideas I read about because I know it helps with weight loss (don’t even get me started on meal prepping…but I have a post coming up on that too so stay tuned).

I’ll comb through the grocery ads for that week, looking for sales because, you know, I’m going to plan my meals based on what’s on sale (ha ha ha).

I’ll go to the store, with a list but for some reason, it’s filled with items that do not form any sort of cohesive dish.

I will leave the store and go home only to remember, that I never made a meal plan and therefore, didn’t buy any groceries that could make a meal that seemed “planned”.Continue reading

The Simple At-Home Challenge That Builds Stronger Legs (Without The Gym Pressure)!

How To Challenge Yourself To Workout & Get Stronger Leg At Home

For me, besides writing, traveling is life.

Well okay, it’s not quite that serious but it’s pretty major. My heart pounds at the mere thought of hopping on a plane that’s bound for a far off land and exploring a new culture and meeting new people.

For me, it’s Jesus, family, writing with traveling following closely behind.

The wanderlust is strong with this one.

However, there are ummm, how do we say, obstacles that get in the way of me traveling as much as I need to (and I do mean need):

1. Money
2. Money
3. Being out of shape

Now, I know you can travel if you’re out of shape.

But when I went to London over 10 years ago, we did a whole lot of walking.

And when I say a whole lot, I mean in the sedentary kind of way.

No, we weren’t walking 15 miles a day but we were doing 8,000 to 10,000 steps a day.

When you’re out of shape, that’s a whole lot of steps.Continue reading

5 Natural Ways To Boost Your Energy So You Can Follow Your Calling

You already know there’s a better way.

You just don’t know how to find that way.

How do you increase your energy in the morning without resorting to sugar-laden coffee?

Because this hitting the snooze on the alarm every morning, dragging out of bed, and reaching for coffee as soon as you can stumble your way into the kitchen is not the abundant life that Jesus was talking about in John 10:10.

Let’s face it.

Many of us are worn out…especially when you have the dreaded ADHD burnout.

Some of us have felt this way for so long that we think it’s normal.

Some of us are so unacquainted with energy, we wouldn’t recognize it if it walked up to us and introduced itself (Hi, I’m Energy nice to meet you).

It would be awesome if energy would just walk up to us and inject itself into us, but instead, energy is more like:

So, how do we keep energy from waving goodbye and leaving us so quickly (because if we are going to start pursuing the life that God wants us to live, then having energy should be at the top of the list)?

I’ve discovered 5 ways to increase our energy levels naturally that have nothing to do with downing coffee all day (even though I love me some coffee). 

They don’t even add any calories to our diet (well, one or two might but at least they are healthy calories).
