lost a few pounds! 🎉

Good news, right?

Well…not necessarily. 🤔

When I really thought about it, I realized some of that weight loss came from being busy, skipping meals and not eating enough fruits and vegetables. That's not the kind of weight loss I want to celebrate!

This week's Fitness DAWGS Parents Corner is a reminder that a lower number on the scale doesn't always mean better health.

The goal isn't just to lose weight. The goal is to gain health.

And that's a lesson worth teaching our children, too. 🐾❤️

Sometimes the best workout is one you never planned to try! 🏓

This past weekend, I celebrated my friend Tami's birthday 🎉 by learning how to play pickleball. It was my first time, and I had so much fun! There were plenty of laughs, a few missed shots, and lots of movement. Before I knew it, I had gotten in a great workout without even thinking about exercising.

It reminded me of an important lesson: when our workouts become routine, it's time to try something new.

Learning keeps us healthy. ❤️🧠

When we think about healthy living, we usually think about eating better, exercising, drinking more water, and getting enough sleep.

But there's another healthy habit we shouldn't overlook...

Learning something new. That's the space I am in, AGAIN, with the Media Ministry at church. I am now a camera operator 😱. YIKES!!!! But learning a new skill is keeping my mind sharp which is a good habit for a healthy lifestyle!

What are you learning new?

Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is rest. 💙

After a much-needed vacation, I came home feeling refreshed...then quickly jumped back into the hustle of work, family, and life.

Before I knew it, I was staying up too late, getting up too early, and running on empty.

It reminded me that a healthy lifestyle isn't just about eating well and exercising.

Rest matters too.

When we're well-rested, we have more energy, more patience, and we're better able to care for the people we love.

This week, I'm recommitting to healthier routines and making rest a priority.

How are you making time to rest this week? 💙. Read the Fitness DAWGS newsletter here for ideas - https://conta.cc/4oTlZZF

How often do we compare ourselves to others?

Or even worse... compare ourselves to who we used to be?

We look at old photos, remember a different season of life, and wonder why we aren't where we once were. But life changes.

Responsibilities change. We change.

Instead of asking, "Why am I not who I used to be?" try asking:

✨ "What does the healthiest version of me look like right now?"

The goal is not to be better than someone else—or even better than your former self. The goal is to become the healthiest version of yourself in this season of life.

Give yourself grace.
Celebrate small victories.
Keep moving forward.
