Long time, no post!
I haven’t really had anything exciting happen lately, so I guess I will just update you with what is going on in my life!
Personally I am really in a good place. I love my Jesus more than ever. I think I am growing spiritually in my love for the Lord every morning I spend with Him. I just finished 2 semesters of the Freedom bible study, one of which I co-led with some pretty awesome Ladies. I’ve made some lifelong friends from that study and I love that! The Lord is leading me to combine my love for Him and my love for Health and Fitness and we are working on a small group for the Fall that is going to do just that. I want to love on women by teaching them to take care of the beautiful bodies God have them. And teach them how to see themselves as God sees them.
My Health and Fitness journey is still evolving! I have been working on building strength for the last year. I’ve eaten more and lifted less, and believe it or not, it has made all the difference in the world! I’m not doing much cardio, just once or twice a week. And I am lifting heavy. I am also focusing more on compound lifts and less on accessory lifts. Less reps and sets and more weight. It’s been a great season, and I have added so much weight to all of my compound lifts! I am about half way through a power building program. I hope to add even more strength through this program. It way less volume than I am used to, but I can already tell it’s working and I am definitely getting stronger! Sometimes you gotta trust the process! I am getting more rest days in and that is where muscle and strength is gained. I am also trying to get in lots of sleep. Because that too is important for gains. After this summer, I will go into a cut and try to lean out a little so I can see all this muscle I have gained! But for now, I’m eating at maintenance plus a little to keep gaining strength and muscle and I am loving it!
My family life has been tough this year. Some of the people I love most are struggling and it is sometimes unbearable for me to witness. I know I have no control over it, but it hurts to see my family hurting. All I can do is pray and love and support them and that is what I am trying to do. I know my God loves them way more than I do and I trust Him to lead me in loving and supporting them through prayer and availability.
My training business is going well so far. I can only take so many and it pains me to have to turn some away. But right now, I have another job that I can’t leave right now, and I don’t want to take on too much. I don’t want clients to suffer because I have taken on too much so I limit it to a few that I can concentrate on. In time, my Heavenly Father will open up doors and opportunities for me to do what my heart desires most and that is to help women be healthy. I trust His timing and His plan. I want His will and not mine.
