Holiday season

Hiiii!

I know it has been a bit, and to be honest, it’s just been so busy
with our church moving into a new building in a week. It is so
exciting to see all that the Lord has been doing in our church and
even with my family. He's been answering prayers and teaching me to
say goodbye to old things, while embracing a whole new chapter.

With that said, the holidays are coming up, and some might consider me
"one of those annoying holiday people" since apparenty, I inherited my
father's habit of listening to Christmas music as early as September.
And now we are only two months away from it....I am seriously going to
be decorating early this year!

If you are like me, however, you are probably seeing so many Christmas
recipes and desserts on your instagram feed which causes me to obsess
a bit about sugary foods and make a false connection between having to
eat a certain way and the holidays, which can eventually lead to me
being hindered from reaching the same goals that I was achieving in
the summertime. It's "a thing" for a lot of people when it comes to
the holidays seemingly conflicting with their health and fitness
goals. The best way I know to get through it all in order to still
enjoy myself, not be a "bahumbug", and stick to my goals, is to learn
to make replacements and healthier alternatives. I love that we have
soooo many options today to eat what we love but still enjoy
nutritional value,without sacrificing our health.

If you’re needing an accountability group and one that can help you
continue your nutrition goals, feel free to send me a DM on instagram,
and I am happy to show you what my mom and I do with a group every
week where we talk about the successes others have had, provide real
life situations and stories, and discuss what we can work on to keep
growing. Also, if you just want some good go-to recipes for this
upcoming holiday season, I have a few and some that you can find on my
next blog post.
