Finding Full Body and Food Freedom in Christ (Marsha’s Story) – Episode #81

October 17, 2018 By beautyinchrist 1 Comment

Finding full body and food freedom is a journey. It’s not instantaneous. It’s also hard in a diet culture that we swim in today, but it’s not impossible. It’s not automatic or easy, but it’s worth it. And often it can take what seems like a long time, but I am so encouraged to meet younger and older women who are in different stages of this journey. Galatians 5:1 says, ‘For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery.’

That’s what this podcast is about; it’s not about bondage to a certain number or a mechanical bondage to exercise or food or a certain way of eating. It’s about different gal’s stories and their journeys into freedom.

Marathon Thoughts and Cutting Back on Exercise

October 16, 2018 By beautyinchrist Leave a Comment

This past weekend I just finished my 3rd marathon. That’s why it’s time to be cutting back on something I do love, genuinely, but my body needs a break. I loved it, but it’s time to cut back on exercise again. Why? I have learned that it’s OK to enjoy exercise again after recovery, because for a while I felt guilty for enjoying running/sweating it out after being recovered and weight restored.

But I’ve learned that it’s not wrong to enjoy movement. It just needs balance, and you have to take a step back and ask, ‘What can my body handle? What is too much? What is that happy medium that makes my body thrive and doesn’t exhaust my body or affect my cycle in a negative way?’

Time for A Blog and Podcast Vacation (See Ya Soon!)

October 2, 2018 By beautyinchrist 1 Comment

It’s time y’all. It’s time for a vacation from the blog and podcast, to refresh, to remember why I do all of this; I’m thankful for God’s work through this blog and podcast the past year. Can you believe we’re at 80 podcast episodes? Vacations are so good; they don’t have to be fancy or expensive, but I think taking a ‘Sabbath’ or a rest from something you normally do is so vital to reminding you why you do it and reminding you that you don’t have to be ON all the time.

Why taking a Sabbath/vacation is a GOOD thing in a busy culture… #slowerliving #slowliving

It’s been a crazy year, and I’m so thankful that it’s October and time to check in, step back, and think and pray about everything God has been doing. There has been laughter, so much sorrow, so much joy, so much contentment, so much happy, so much sad, and I’m just taking these next two weeks to kind of digest it all.

What I”ve Learned About the Benefit of SHORT Workouts

June 18, 2018 By beautyinchrist 2 Comments

I used to ALWAYS go for workouts longer than an hour, because I always wanted to burn the max amount of calories possible, but it was also so wearing on my body, because I did it 6 days out of 7, almost without fail. My life revolved around workouts. I didn’t like the idea of short workouts at all, because I thought of them as ‘not enough’ or ‘not legitimate’ if it wasn’t over 30 minutes.

God has totally changed my heart here, and I wanted to share it with you.

I was really cocky about how I did the long hard workouts, how ‘strong’ I thought I was, but mentally, emotionally, and even physically my body was breaking down more than it was getting stronger. This past year I really finally felt the effects of that, and they weren’t good.
