Lifting/pulling/pushing 55 pounds at the gym is TOTALLY DIFFERENT than wrangling a 55 pound box!

The gym is great and I highly recommend! More importantly is to train for function with weight on board.

This is me today.....lol!

Happy Labor Day!

I've been outside working on the deck. It was nice a few hours ago, but my computer started to melt (lol....not really, it was me). I DO practice what I preach most of the time. Getting outside as many hours a day as possible is important to me, and I feel so much better when I do! Grounding and soaking up the sun - barefoot on our crispy grass as I roam around watering berries, baby trees, and herbs that need it.

Marty was also catching up on paperwork today, I asked him if he gets "Holiday Pay." He said NOPE, and we agreed that we both have terrible bosses! HAHAHAHAHA

GOALS!!!

Dale Sanders started last Sept. 6 in West Virginia, hiked the nearly 2,200-mile trail in out-of-order sections with breaks in between, and finished Monday atop Mount Katahdin in Maine.

When the heart expands its circle of care, we understand that we are all part of one interconnected life…

It's not fun.
It's not fancy.
It requires some time.
But, for many people it makes a huge difference in weight loss success!

One thing many struggle with is understanding just how many calories they are consuming.

Before thinking about a massive program, cleanse, drugs, crazy workout program, etc.....buy a kitchen scale and weigh your food. Every bite, seriously. You must also count calories in drinks and condiments. This how YOU learn about you. Calories in/calories out matter.

This is a learning tool, NOT intended to be a forever thing. This is a learning too, NOT to become a stressor/chore. After a week or so it's easy. This is DATA. This data may be far more beneficial than expensive lab tests! This is a way to regain control of your health. It is some work now, but will be less work than dealing with the health problems that come along with obesity the rest of your life.

Our intake forms ask folks to list what they eat. RARELY, VERY RARELY is it actually completed. Do we eat without thinking and simply forget? Do we know and not want to put it on paper? Do we not believe that food matters? The vague answers are telling.

I find the most profound changes happen when folks put the time in and write down their data, (yes with a writing a pen or pencil- not a phone or other device). There is something powerful about the act of writing!

If I can help you, I will!

What a way to close out the event!!

Finally going to bed - wrapped up the final day of the Ozarks Homesteading Expo and what happens at the exact moment it’s over? It hasn’t rained in weeks and here came a downpour, however brief it was very welcome- and look what appears! God’s promise… we worried we couldn’t pull this off, we worried no one would show up, we worried about the heat - but we did and you did and He did!
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own." Matthew 6:34
Photos to come… there are so many!!

Away from home hiking, hunting, or camping and need to irrigate a wound or eyes? Poke a hole in the cap of a disposable water bottle, aim and squeeze GENTLY FOR EYES, and HARD FOR WOUNDS.(wound irrigation requires pressure to remove debris).
