🧠 Food For Thought/Quote Of The Week:
“It isn’t that you wake up one day and decide that’s it: I am going to be weak. No. It is a slow incremental process. It chips away at our will—it chips away at our discipline. We sleep in a little later. We miss a workout, then another. We start to eat what we shouldn’t eat and drink what we shouldn’t drink. And, without realizing it—one day, you wake up and you have become something that you never would have allowed. Instead of strong—you are weak. Instead of disciplined—you are disorganized and lost. Instead of moving forward and progressing—you are moving backward and decaying.”
💪 Health & Fitness Tips:
How to kick sugar cravings - a good majority of the time (if you’re not still physiologically addicted to sugar), a sugar craving has a lot to do with sodium levels in the body. Want to beat those pesky little cravings? Get an electrolyte drink with HIGH amounts of sodium in it. I prefer LMNT, citrus salt flavor. If you like a good margarita with salt, you’ll love this flavor. Although, if you don’t like margaritas you’d probably like it too.
📚 Book Recommendation:
The Common Rule - I read this with one of the discipleship groups I led a couple of years ago and it was a very practical and super insightful approach to creating a rule of life in ways that leverage simple, easy, repeatable habits, that will forge your relationship with God and neighbor. Highly recommend it. I also enjoy and recommend all of Justin’s books.
