If someone told you that they wanted their car to last a long time, but you noticed they were putting some water in their gas tank, not changing their oil regularly, never rotating their tires or changing their air filters or getting tune-ups, what would you think? Would you really believe them since there was such a disconnect between what they said they wanted and their actions?

They same thing goes with fitness: actions speak louder than words. If you’re actions (eating, exercise, sleeping right, drinking enough water,etc.) aren’t lining up with your goals (want to shed fat, get stronger, run such’n’such a race, wear a bikini, etc), you’re making a liar out of yourself. And unlike other kinds of lies, you’re only hurting yourself. The longer this goes on, the more likely you’ll start to believe that your goals can’t be achieved… which is NOT true.

So… stop saying and start doing. Have integrity with yourself and your fitness goals will soon follow.

I was feeling defeated and frustrated with my health due to a chronic illness, but Matthew and the group met me where I was at and provided the balance of grace and truth that I needed. I lost 10 lbs during my first challenge, but more importantly I learned to be faithful with my responsibilities (eating well, exercising, etc.) and to trust God with the rest.
