Wrapping up the Challenge!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! 6 weeks ago, we all arrived on scene not knowing exactly what to expect!! But the challenge unfolded beautifully with lots of information, questions, honest reflections, encouragement toward one another, and a sense of comradely!! My hope and prayer has been and will continue to be, that this space has been useful to help you understand more about your body as well as bringing you awareness to the ways that you choose to nurture or neglect your body. I have been personally nurtured by seeing your wins and helping . . .

Stress

STRESS. It’s everywhere. Some of us manage it better than others of us…but it affects ALL of us, and frankly, our inability to manage it well, is causing a lot of long-term health issues in our bodies, and in the bodies of those around us. In order to live long and well, we have to learn to respect that chronic stress is not good for us—on so many levels. Chronic, unmanaged stress takes its toll on our digestive system, our nutrient absorption, our metabolic function (blood pressure and blood sugars), our sleep . . .

Hydration

Water is essential to our bodies to lubricate our joints and prevent pain and stiffness, to remove toxic waste through our kidneys and colon, to prevent loss of memory as we age, to improve the function of our heart and circulatory system as it works to get the oxygen and blood to all the places it needs to go, and a multitude of other functions to maintain life!! More than 50% of our nation is chronically dehydrated. I don’t want that to be YOU!! Today’s video will be talking about the harmful things that we tend to . . .

Movement

Movement it vital to our good health. This week we will be exploring different types of important movement!! It encompasses more than you would think!! The challenge this week is to evaluate and improve your own movements!! This is a “choose your own adventure” week!! You will choose how you need to prioritize movement this next week!! Give us a shout out and let us know what you will be focused on! ***VIDEO BELOW*** Week 4-Movement.mp4 Below we have attached links to . . .

Food Choices

Week THREE. It’s easy to get stuck in a rut with our food choices!! Many people eat mainly 3 vegetables routinely—corn, green beans, potatoes. This week will stretch your creativity!! It may be a “think outside the box” type of moment for many of us!! At one time, I lived here. Predictable. Convenient. I can say that it is not hard for me anymore in my life to fulfill what I am asking you to do this week!! With some planning and preparing—it just becomes routine!! Friends…there is SOOO much . . .
