It’s the final countdown—make those steps count today, friends! 👟 As you move your bodies today, I encourage you to find gratitude in your accomplishments this month. You’ve literally “taken steps forward”, and in case you haven’t figured it out by now, each and every step counts. As I mentioned yesterday, small steps, when done consistently, are the way forward. This should give you tremendous hope, friends. It doesn’t have to happen all at once. In fact, it shouldn’t all happen at once because the growth is found in the journey—not when you reach your goal. 💯 Again, I am so proud of you, and your hard work and dedication haven’t gone unnoticed. As your coach, nothing brings me greater joy than to see you invested in your own growth. 🫶 Now it’s time to step 👟 into a new month and focus on the last quarter of 2025! I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again—if you can navigate the last quarter of the year, you can navigate any season! We’ll get into this in the coming weeks, but just remember that it’s important to show up in this space and for yourself for the next few months. We aren’t throwing away our goals just because the holidays are approaching. That’s an outdated way of thinking. It’s time to change the way you do things, friends—and the holiday season is a perfect time to start! 🔥 Check out this simple and healthy low-carb crockpot recipe below! ⬇️ Keto Crockpot Chicken Thighs with Cabbage - Clean Eating Kitchen TAKING ACTION: ✅ How are you feeling about the upcoming holiday season?

All sugar is not created equal. 💯 You’ll be glad to know that you can still have sugar (insert sigh of relief 😉), but we’re going to focus MORE on natural sugars and LESS on processed/added sugar over the next couple of weeks. 👌 🫐 Natural sugar isn’t the problem. Natural sugar can be found in fruit, honey and pure maple syrup. Our ancestors consumed natural sugar. While they certainly had their fair share of hard times, they weren’t riddled with the diseases we are today (that are caused by processed sugar). Of course, any sugar can be consumed in excess, but not many people overeat foods with natural sugar. 🍪 The problem arises when it comes to processed sugar/added sugars. These are the sugars that cause both physical and psychological cravings. Food manufacturers know this, and they know if you crave it, you’ll buy it. When you buy it, they make more money…💲 🫐 Natural sugar is found in foods that also contain other healthy vitamins, nutrients, and minerals. Fiber and other nutrients can actually help your body process sugar more healthily! 🍪 Processed sugar/added sugar is stripped of these nutrients; therefore, you’re consuming empty calories because added sugars don’t offer your body any nutritional value—just calories. Processed sugar is also highly inflammatory, and too much of it turns into fat. The overall point is that all sugar isn’t created equal. That’s why it’s essential to know and recognize the difference. 👌 Wellness Thought: Did you know your brain actually needs sugar to survive? That’s right! But there’s one caveat - it needs NATURAL sugar to survive. The brain is the most energy-demanding organ and uses ½ of the sugar in your body for energy. This is great news for all you sugar lovers out there! We just have to rewire our brains a little so they can learn to enjoy natural sugar instead of processed sugar! 💯 Sugar 101 | American Heart Association TAKING ACTION:

Retraining your taste buds and cravings has a tremendous impact on your sugar intake—which will have a positive impact on your mindset and overall health! 👏 We’ll dive in a little deeper next week, so get ready, friends! When you follow our monthly education, you can reach your goals AND enjoy the holidays. It’s not either/or. It’s both. 👌 TAKING ACTION: ✅ What are your goals over the next few months? Are you taking a more balanced approach?

I’m so proud of myself for being able to get my steps in. When I joined last year I started waking for fun .. I was not the one who ever enjoyed it. Especially by myself but it’s became my fave way to relax and pray. Keep going y’all
