Yesterday we talked about walking with Jesus — picturing Him walking beside you, just outside your range of vision as you follow your exercise route.  So what do you say to Jesus? Most of us start out with our list of wants and needs.  I have to admit to it.  A lot of my recent…

Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced. ~James Baldwin One reason why we don’t see results — we haven’t really faced the seriousness of our need.  It’s easy to compare ourselves to people who are REALLY overweight — and there are always those folks who…

Ready to walk?  Don’t go alone.  This morning, walk with God. You knew already that God is there, with you all the time.  But let’s see if we can make that truth more real to you. Today as you start out to exercise, imagine that Jesus is walking with you in His physical body.  Think…

Ready, set — go!  Well, we’re almost ready to go.  On our daily walk, that is.  We talked in yesterday’s blog about deciding when to walk.  If you just plan to do it “sometime” it most likely won’t happen.  You have to plan a time and prepare for it. And you need to figure out…

When goods increase, they are increased that eat them. Ecclesiastes 5:11 This Scripture verse probably has a deeper meaning — but it is true for us who are on a quest to live a healthier, more active life and are losing extra pounds to do so. If we eat more, we won’t reach our goal.…

How are the steps coming?  The plan is to take the average of your steps for three days and then each week start adding 200 daily steps.  This is a small, but doable, change and those who started out with me should be seeing some increase in their movement by now. But maybe you are…

“If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet, ye also ought to wash one another’s feet.” John 13:14 In Bible times folks didn’t get in their cars and run over to the mall.  If they ran anywhere, they did it on their own two feet.  Those feet would get pretty smelly and…

The last in our series of surprise low-glycemic foods is another which you probably avoided in other diets.  The avocado has received a bad rap over the years and is listed as an exception in the “eat fruits and vegetables” chapter of many diet books.  That’s because avocados do contain fat and are higher in…

Ye are bought with a price. Therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s. I Corinthians 6:20 We can do what we want with our own bodies, right?   But are those bodies our own?  When we come to God in salvation, we come in surrender.  He actually owns us…

It’s amazing what  a little whipped cream can do to make a bland dish into a indulgent-feeling dessert.  Yes, I said whipped cream. Like most dairy products, whipped cream has a zero glycemic number and, a  1/4 cup serving has about 90 calories. Put a dollop on a baked apple or pear, or make a…
