Welcome back! You made it through week 1 and I am so proud of you! I need to do some admin stuff before we get to this week’s new focus, scripture memory, and our first check-in. I also want to link to two different posts: if you are looking for some resources for exercise, podcasts and nutrition, check out this post. And if you are trying to have some tips to get that “soul food” in, then check out this one!
It’s time to reveal what our (3) grand prize packages will have in them! If you’ve been with me for a couple years, you’ll notice that they are very similar items but that’s because:
a) I love these people who donate and want to promote them and
b) I personally would want all these things!
Please be sure to visit each of these donor’s websites and/or instagram pages to support them! Remember, to be eligible to win one of the 3 packages, you just have to check in each week and meet the 2 criteria! I will pull 3 winners at the end of the challenge!
1.) The Wellness Revelation, Love>Fear Hat, + “Battle” shirt all from Revelation Wellness
2.) 2 month subscription to Moms into Fitness
3.) The Better Mom Devotional
4.) Bracelet from Blooms + Linen
5.) A box of cards from Compliment Card Co.
6.) Stress Away Bath Bombs from Young Living

Click here for the printable that you can cut out and carry with you or hang up! (Don’t forget about the verses from prior weeks. Keep reviewing those, too!) I have the additional verse option below too!
And now, some insight as to why I chose this as our Key for week 2!
And for those of you using the daily bible reading plan, here is this week’s passages. We are into the Old Testament now. I would love to know how you liked having these and the journal questions that came with them? Click here for the pdf version.
Get physical!!
The routine is the same as last week. Feel free to mix and match as you please!
Food Portion!
So last week we focused on water and this week we are going to layer on yet another healthy discipline…meal prep! Now before you throw your hands up, I want you to breathe.
The goal is to do 2 things in regards to meal prep:
1) Create a loose menu for the week. Shoot for 2 breakfast options, 3 lunch options, and 4 dinners! So for example, I would write down on my “menu”:
breakfast: smoothie, overnight oats
lunch: “summer” salad, leftover soup, eggs
dinner: chili, turkey burgers/sweet potatoes/brocolli, balsamic chicken/quinoa/salad, “breakfast” for dinner
2) Prep at least 1 item ahead. (You are receiving this info on Sunday/Monday, so try to get this done by Tuesday)
Example: dozen hard-boiled eggs, chicken avocado salad, a pitcher of green tea, veggie tray
This is the perfect time to use the FREE PRINTABLE included at the bottom of each of my emails!
Here is a helpful post with 15 easy meal and snack prep ideas! Also, don’t forget about those pinterest boards you’ve been creating and be sure to check out mine. Remember, sticking to the food portion is not part of grand prize eligibility, but I will add it to the check-in.
Accountability!
