Weight is OVER Challenge Week 1
FitMenCook
My name is Kevin. My life changed when I realized that healthy living is truly a lifelong journey, mainly won by having a well-balanced diet and enjoying adequate exercise. By experimenting in the kitchen and openly sharing my meals, I learned that healthy eating is hardly boring and that by making a few adjustments, I could design a diet that could help me achieve my personal fitness goals. Our bodies are built in the kitchen and sculpted in the gym.
It’s time to get started. Right now. This is a journey that you will be on for the rest of your life, and it starts today. It’s time to make YOU a priority for once. So why not start with taking care of your temple and leading healthier lifestyle? Let’s go!
Devotional Snippet, Chapter 1:
Pressure, stress, disappointment—if you have a pulse, you know the constant toll these take on your life. If you let them, they’ll squeeze and drain the last drops of passion and enthusiasm out of your life. I remember feeling a bit discouraged early in my fitness journey because my body was not changing as quickly as I hoped. Whatever excitement I had about transforming my physique was shriveling up like a prune. I found myself dreading my workouts, despising my diet, and simply just making it through the day. What I was once passionate about became a chore. Ever been there? That all changed for me when I realized that I could choose to either be powerful or defeated. When things look down and discouraging, it’s time to pull out the big guns and dig deep. Take a solid look in the mirror and tell yourself that you’ve got what it takes to succeed since you’ve made it this far. Look up. This is a lifelong journey, and you are running your own race. Be excited about the life you have been given. Believe for good things today, be enthused about your dreams coming to pass, and choose to be powerful.
Banana Split
A great treat to enjoy first thing in the morning following a workout or brisk walk around the neighborhood.
