I've been focusing more on being strong and not skinny. This past year I've gained probably 10 pounds. I'm not sure because I stopped weighing myself. The scale does not control me anymore. Each day I work on my mindset and some days are definitely harder than others. I don't weigh 103 pounds anymore like in the other two photos. I was skinny then but wasn't happy.

Gaining weight is a mind game. My clothes are tighter and when the whole world has been focusing on losing weight I've been needing to gain weight. One thing I want to mention is that our bodies naturally fluctuate 5-7 pounds on any given day based on food and water intake, bloating, inflammation, hormones and etc. My takeaway today is this: Throw out the scale! Perfectionism can destroy you-both mentally and physically. Forgive yourself daily!

Add, don't subtract.

If you’re in a “diet mentality”, each day feels like a new battle to avoid the “bad foods”. So let’s flip that. Add, don’t subtract.

Don’t “avoid” your “junk food”.

Don’t “avoid” your prepackaged meals.

Don’t “avoid” dessert.

Just add so much healthy stuff — water, lean protein, fresh fruit and vegetables — that there’s less room or desire left over for food that doesn’t support your goals.

And at first, look for what you gain rather than what you lose.
Like muscle. Strength. Confidence. Energy. Sanity.

Progress comes in all shapes, sizes, and forms. (Read one of my previous blog posts- Progress: Obedience) I'm not huge, nor do I want to be. My goal is to just eat healthy and stay active and lean! (Throughout my entire life!)

Small improvements can mean going up a few pounds with dumbbells or medicine balls (I documented my own progress below), adding more veggies or leafy greens to each meal, drinking water instead of soda, going from the couch to walking or running a 5K, or even avoiding emotional eating by calling a friend.

We all have our own idea of what healthy means to us. Be consistent and do what works for you! "Find YOUR Fit."- Kirk Dewindt

I grew up volunteering with my mom at our church and through my local 4-H Club; I haven't stopped since then! Volunteering and helping others lights a fire within me! Saturday I spent the day volunteering for a non-profit organization that is dear to my heart: Saving Grace Village.

Saving Grace Village was founded in 2010, and offers adolescent girls the opportunity to discover their gifts through creative expression. Saving Grace Village hosts weekend retreats at the Audubon Center of the North Woods, a 535-acre sanctuary on Grindstone Lake near Sandstone, Minnesota, where adult mentors lead girls through a variety of activities so they can explore what gives them energy and joy. The volunteers support participants by encouraging them, listening to them and letting them know they are not alone.

I was naturally in charge of the fitness and health portions of the retreat and led a BURST Training Boot Camp workout and talked to the girls about what it means to be healthy. We then made "Banana Sushi" as a healthy snack. I love seeing the girls smile and have fun trying new things. I want to instill a sense of self-worth, self-love, and self-confidence in them to give them the strength to follow their true passions and dreams!
