Philippians 4:6 “Don’t worry about anything; instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank Him for all He has done.”

3 Steps to Keep the Peace:

1. Slow your mind with “The 30-Second Reset” Whenever you feel overwhelmed: Pause. Place your hand on your chest. Take one deep breath. Say: “Lord, I need You.” This resets your nervous system and your spirit. Try it right now. Feel the shift? That’s the power of the Holy Spirit intervening on your behalf.

2. End the mental chaos with a “Brain Dump Prayer”
At the end of a stressful day: Get out a blank sheet of paper- Write down everything swirling in your mind- Turn the list into a prayer- “Lord, here are today’s burdens. I’m giving them back to You.” Your mind will breathe again.

3. Create a “Peace Priority List”

Instead of trying to do everything, choose: The 3 most important things for the day- The 1 habit that grounds you-The 1 moment of rest you will honor-

Here are a few ways you can destress this week:

1. Lower your holiday expectations, LOWER YOUR EXPECTATIONS.

2. Delegate boldly- it won’t be done your way, that doesn’t mean it isn’t right.

3. Set boundaries without guilt:

A loving “no” protects your peace. Try this:“I wish we could, but this season is full. We love you though!” Or:“I can’t commit but thank you for thinking of us.”

4. Nourish your body intentionally

5. Choose 10 minutes of movement

Jesus, we love you. Thank You for being our Peace. Thank You Father that we get to celebrate the birth of Jesus this week, thank you for this time together with family and friends and the ability to serve, love and give back. Help us to focus on what’s truly important this year. We want to forget the overwhelm and strive and try. Calm my mind Jesus, settle my spirit, and break the chains of distraction this season. I crave intimacy with you Lord, help me walk in step with your Holy Spirit leading the way. Teach me to rest, to lay down control and remember that Jesus is the only reason for the season. Happy birthday Father, Amen

Psalm 16:8, “I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.”

3 PILLARS OF CONSISTENCY

1. Choose ONE anchor habit -One habit that grounds you.

Examples:

• Protein at every meal
• A 10-minute walk
• Drinking enough water
• Tracking your food
• Going to bed on time

2. Have a “Busy Week Plan,”

A Busy Week Plan sounds like:

• I’ll work out 3 times, even if it’s 10 minutes.
• I’ll make balanced choices at 2 meals each day.
• I’ll take one walk per day.
• I’ll track breakfast and lunch daily.

3. Cover your intentions in prayer

“Lord, give me what I need today, which is You. Help me choose actions that align with your plan for my life and give me wisdom in my choices, peace in my emotions, and strength in my body. I surrender my body and my choices to You. Thank You Father for the birth of Your Son, help me to remember every moment of every day, the true meaning of this season. The rest is just noise. I love you Lord, Amen."

A 10-Minute Christmas Circuit. Do each move 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest. Repeat twice.

1. Squats
2. Wall push-ups or regular push-ups
3. March in place or jog in place
4. Hip hinge / good mornings
5. Plank or modified plank

Stretch for 1 minute after. This is enough. This counts. This moves your body toward health today, instead of waiting for January.

1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so you can endure it.”

-THE HOLIDAY PEACE-EATING FRAMEWORK:

1. Choose Your Foods With Intention — Not Obligation- Ask yourself BEFORE you eat: “Do I really want this?”

2. The 50% Peace Plate Method- This method gives you: • Freedom • Enjoyment
• Control • No guilt- Fill your plate like this: ✔ 50% protein + produce ✔ 50% fun holiday foods. Protein stabilizes hunger- Produce adds volume-You still get the foods you love.

3. One Plate — Eat Slowly — Enjoy Every Bite

4. Drop the Guilt — It’s Not Holy and It’s Not Helping- Guilt after eating does NOT:

• Burn calories-Undo your choices-Help your mindset-Make you healthier-Make you more godly.

5. No “I Blew It” Thinking Allowed- Did you hear me? There is NO condemnation in a believer! This is the thought that destroys progress more than food ever will.

Isaiah 26:3 “You will keep in perfect peace his whose mind is steadfast because he trusts in you.

1. Anchor Your Morning — Even 5 Minutes Changes Your Day.

Try this 1-minute prayer: “Lord, steady my mind. Direct my choices. Let me honor You today.”

2. Nourish Your Body Instead of Restricting

3. Protect Your Peace — Protect Your Schedule

You are allowed to say: “We’re staying home tonight.” “That doesn’t work for us this year.” “We’ll celebrate simply.” Peace is not passive. Peace requires boundaries.

4. Keep Movement Simple + Repeatable

Your December workouts should be:

• Empowering
• Simple
• Strength-based
• Repeatable

5. Shift into a “December Woman” Identity

10 minute WORKOUT:

Round (2 minutes):
• 30 sec squats
• 30 sec wall push-ups
• 30 sec marching high knees
• 30 sec glute bridges

Repeat 5 rounds (10 minutes total). Strength keeps your metabolism steady all month long.

Cinnamon Vanilla Protein Hot Cocoa:

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop chocolate or vanilla protein
• 1 tsp cocoa powder
• Dash of cinnamon
• Drop of vanilla
  Blend, heat, sip, enjoy. Protein keeps cravings under control — especially in December.

Lord, thank You for this woman listening. Remind her Father who she is in You. Give her a December filled with peace, strength, and Christ-centered purpose. Help her nourish her body, protect her time, and walk in wisdom and joy as she focuses on the true meaning of the season, You. Steady her mind Jesus, calm her heart, and guide her choices. Thank You Father, in Jesus’ name, amen.

“So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.” —1 Corinthians 10:31.

Macros — short for macronutrients — are simply the nutrients your body needs:
-Protein -Carbohydrates -Fats

1. Protein is Your Body’s Building Block
Protein is the most important macro for weight loss. It helps repair and build muscle, keeps you full longer, and supports your metabolism. Protein IS the difference in reaching your weight loss goal!

2. Carbs or carbohydrates are Your Body’s Fuel, your energy for the day.
Carbs often get a bad reputation, but your body and your brain need them. Carbs, the RIGHT carbs are your body’s main source of energy. The key is to choose quality carbs: Fruits and vegetables, Whole grains like oats, rice, potatoes, quinoa. Legumes like beans and lentils.

3. Fats: Your Body’s Hormone Helper
Healthy fats are essential — especially for women. They support hormones, help absorb vitamins, and keep your skin, hair, and brain healthy.

Instead of obsessing over numbers, try this simple, faith-filled approach to balance your meals visually:

• ½ your plate: vegetables; like broccoli, peppers, spinach, cauliflower, anything in season. Squash is a great option! And eating 4-6 cups of veggies daily will help you reach your fiber goal, go number two and lean out all at the same time!
• ¼ your plate: lean protein- I like to aim for 6-8 ounces per meal, or 25-30 grams per meal, eating 4-6 times per day. It will take about a week for your body to adjust, do your best and keep going!
• ¼ your plate: healthy carbs (like sweet potatoes, beans or rice)
• Add: a thumb-size serving of healthy fat, a dash of salt and you’re on your way to a more balanced approach!
  
  Thank You “Father for creating our bodies with such care and purpose. You designed us to thrive, to have energy, and to serve You well. Help us to see food as a gift — not as the enemy. Teach us to fuel our bodies with wisdom, to eat with peace, and to trust You to guide our choices. Remind us that balance is holy, and that we can glorify You even in what we eat and drink. We give this journey — and our health — back to You. In Jesus’ name, amen.

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Always be joyful. Never stop praying. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.”

Reflection:

What are you thankful for today?

WHO are you thankful for today?

If you woke up today with ONLY what you thanked God for yesterday, what would you have?

Journal Prompts:

- What has God carried you through this year?

- How has He shown His faithfulness in your body, your health, or your mindset?

- And what blessing, no matter how small, are you most thankful for right now?

Father, thank You for this beautiful day of gratitude. Thank You for every listener, for the hands that prepare the meal, and the hearts gathered around the table.

Psalm 40:1–3 “I waited patiently for the Lord to help me, and he turned to me and heard my cry. He lifted me out of the pit of despair, out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground and steadied me as I walked along.”

The goal isn’t to get smaller — it’s to grow stronger in Him.

I’ve realized that The Process: Slow, Steady, and Sacred.

Philippians 1:6 says, “And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”

Your Daily Encouragement: You just have to take one small, surrendered step. Invite God into your journey. Pray over your meals. Ask Him to help you crave His presence more than anything else.

Isaiah 40:31 says, “But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength. They will soar high on wings like eagles. They will run and not grow weary. They will walk and not faint.”

Lord, thank You for walking with me through every step of this journey — through the highs, the lows, and everything in between. Father forgive me when I think of my weight or food before You. And Jesus, for the woman listening today, I pray You lift her out of shame and fill her with Your Holy peace and strength. Help her see that she is not behind — she is being rebuilt. Give her courage to take the next step, to trust You with her body and her story.
Do what only You can do, Lord. In Jesus’ name, amen.
