Greenberry Shakeology Recipe: Papaya Passion

In football, if a quarterback is uncomfortable with the formation the defense is using, he might call an “audible” to change the play at the last minute.

In fitness, you HAVE to learn how to be able to do the same thing, be it with your nutrition or your exercise. Things can’t always go according to plan. Your child gets sick and you can’t make it to the gym… will you workout at home or just skip it? Boss wants to take you to Captain Batter’s Fry House to celebrate the launch of a new product… will you get the fried seafood platter or the grilled salmon and steamed veggies? You have to work late and you forgot to thaw the chicken… do you pick up a pizza on the way home or do you make breakfast for dinner with egg white omelets and fruit?

Listen carefully: if you don’t learn how to call an audible, life will clobber you. Those who are the most fit have mastered the art of the audible. And you can too! If you’re diligent, aware of your options, and stay committed, you will find that the best defense is having a great offense.

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.
