Healthy Witness | Jackie

This is my partner in life, parenting, and Ministry. My husband since 2000! There is nothing more healthy than the relationships in your life. I pray and hope that your relationship with your spouse or close loved one is open for communication, and constantly with words of gratitude. Daily I am genuine and thanking him for things he does to help out around the house, with the kids, and with our  work. It is imperative that you focus on each other's strengths and celebrate that and honor that and praise them. It is also important to extend forgiveness and Grace for weaknesses. Nobody is perfect especially yourself. So do what you can to again focus on a person's strength to help lessen your focus of their weakness. Think of your strengths and be proud of those. Think of your partners strengths and realize how a great team you are! Know if you and your spouse or partner are not a good team, make sure you are communicating the needs but make sure the needs or problems can b...

Hey, it's time for my public accountability post since some of you might be curious visually and numerically how I'm doing in my health journey and maintenance. The old me would hate this but now, it's no big deal. I am my size, I'm okay with it and showing others my progress is exactly the inspiration that motivated me to change my mindset, my path, and my life, once I put it All in to action! Every Sunday, I measure inches, pounds, take photos to enter in My Challenge Track er app (then monthly I enter it in a challenge for a free tshirt and possible cash prize!). This helps track progress in both my nutrition and Fitness. I can look back and see inches or pounds lost or gained based on different workouts, different eating plans, and life events. Taking most of the summer off in working out was discouraging but it is encouraging to look at photos, the measurements are okay, and the pounds are okay, but pictures really help me see the changes. I know many o...

It's great to get into a routine! It's great to have a goal, to decide how to reach the goal, and to get there with you acting on that Plan! In December 2016, I made a plan. Not just one for our family and what we will do for school, home, and extra curricular, but a plan for my health and while I am doing it, to share that plan with others. I just took a piece of paper and wrote out the months. I mapped out what I wanted to do. I wanted a Free Group, a Challenge Group, and a time to share an opportunity to do what I do, coach others with the potential of side or full time income (this is based on your efforts, skills, and dedication, there is no guarantee of income). You may or may not know that I offer these three things every month! ( My Events Page ) First Monday Starts my FREE Group Focus: For a week focus on a healthy habit It's encouraged to try to focus all month Anyone is invited, but currently we are all women! The  Free Group is on Facebook and her...

Life is a gift to us from God. Living is what we are to do. Choices are all over the place until we know what we want and who we are. Growing is a lifetime endeavor and better with the right messages, people, and resources. Thanking God for being with me every step of the way, even when I did NOT know HIM! But now, oh wow, I'm in a great place! I've always owned my decisions, good and not-so-good, LOL. Just over 5 years ago, I chose to change my mindset on food. Just over 2 years ago, I chose a total solution for my wellness that included fitness, food, challenge groups for wonderful accountability, and network of other like minded people for living healthy and happy. Sharing this FB post from 2 years ago helps me CHEER that I am still here, still committed to my choice and my solution. It's working, and it's blessed me WAY more than I could imagine. I never anticipated the quality friendships that have helped me grow ( Rhonda  my mentor and so many more), the i...

This is a great quote and the best part is knowing that "you can change". I am proof of that. It does not happen overnight. It is through knowing what you want and getting there through small changes (or big, depending on your current situation and where you want to go).  😉 . In short all of this is possible because I chose to join a team two and a half years ago. Changing the people I was around ca tapulted my wellness Journey in ways I never imagined. The result has been continuous Improvement in my personal health, life, and being filled with joy and peace, because I chose it. We often think things are happening to us, but it's the company and environments we choose.  👍  In life, we can get on and off certain trains. The current train I'm on, I love it, it grows me and allows me to help others also live a more fulfilling life. What areas are you desiring to change? What's your environment, your mindset, and the people you're around? Where do you want to...
