1159 Do Calories Count?

If you are wanting to get healthy or lose weight, do calories count?

The answer no one wants to hear; yes and no!

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

Yes calories count. And no, calories do not count.

It all depends on you.

  • Your lifestyle.
  • What you are eating.
  • How you are expending and using the energy.

The way your fuel your lifestyle, the activities throughout the day, and your make-up (genetics, hormones, metabolism) all has an impact on how your calories are used.

Being precise, one dietary calorie is the amount of energy needed to raise one kilogram of water one degree Celsius.

Now that doesn't help us when reading labels and trying to be healthy daily. Our kitchens are not a science laboratory.

But you have to understand, that calories are either used as fuel or stored as fat. PERIOD!

Calories do not melt away when you don't need them. You ingest them, your body responds by either storing them or using them.

You have to understand that calories do count in your life. Instead of asking, "do calories count", ask it this way:

How do you eat so calories are working for you, not against you?

You don't want to make food the enemy. It's fuel for your body, but it's not all treated equally.

So if you want to be healthy....

The K.I.S.S. ~ F.U.E.L. your body with what it needs!

If God made it, you can eat it! The portions will vary for each individual. There is not a one size fits all. And let those processed foods go too.

Understand, this whole idea of eating so many calories a day is best, really is only based on an average. And most of us do not fit in the average!

  1. Proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. You want to have a good source of protein as protein builds muscle. Fats are good for you too. Carbohydrates should come from God's food basket.
  2. Hydrate with lots of water.
  3. Intentional movement (fitness and exercise).
  4. Restoration and relaxation for your mind, body, and spirit.
"Don't let calories scare you away from living the life God designed for you. Calories don't matter. You matter!"

There is no time like NOW to spring forward with your dreams, your aspirations, your goals. Nothing is impossible when you plant a seed of greatness daily.

That seed can be a smile to a stranger. Holding the door open for one who is weighted down with grocery bags. Opportunities to serve with a giving heart opens doors for you who desires a new start.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

Most of us have experienced the clock being moved up one hour this past weekend. A negative way to look at it is a loss of one hour of sleep. A positive is longer daylight hours to enjoy the Spring and Summer seasons.

Regardless of what you think, use it to springboard your greatness.

Spring forward!

Brighten your day with dreams. What do you want to do when you grow up? Maybe you are still trying to figure it out. Life got in the way. Too many obligations and responsibilities.

Don't live in the excuses? Don't allow yourself to focus on what you can't do than what you can do. It's the littlest things.

What you want in your life matters. Greatness comes from the plantings of many little seeds; the littlest actions. Not the ones you that are convenient or easy.

"One step at a time leads to miles of greatness." ~ Kristianne Wargo

Spring forward!

This is your season of greatness!

Are you wanting health and prosperity? Wellness for your body and your family? Restoration for your soul? A debt free lifestyle? An extraordinary marriage?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Spring forward!

We reap what we sow.

Plant your seeds of greatness even the littlest of things.

Ask God to bless each one. Call on Him by name as you plant daily. The little things matter and they matter to God.

This is your season for impact.

"Spring forward with greatness and a giving heart, and be watchful as God opens doors for you who desires a new start."

Imagine when you stood there, arms crossed, thinking (or even yelling),"It's not my fault!". Where does that get you in marriage, a union where two are to be one?

Not very far. In fact, you might end up in the convenient divorce line.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

Yes! This needs to be said very blunt. Too many of us are living life in the "I'm right, you're wrong" world.

I understand the desire to want to be right. But ask yourself this tough question, how is it serving you?

Are you really getting what you want by always being right?

You know you are not! You're probably more wrong than you are right. Welcome to the REAL world.

What happens is that we build up walls and that becomes our focus. We play defensive and let the heart of our loved one slowly be broken.

Sometimes we do it not meaning to. Other times we jab, twist, and turn to make the pain even greater.

The person suffering more is you!

When you choose to be assertive, advocating only for you; your thoughts, your values, YOUR way, you are telling your partner --- You DON'T matter! You're worthless!!

But the underlying whisper of truth is where you are hurting yourself more. You shut out the one who wants to do life with you only TO. BE. RIGHT.

"A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new." ~ Albert Einstein

You're gonna make mistakes. You're not going to do everything right. That sounds harsh. But it's reality.

"Marriage is about two, not about you!" ~ Kristianne Wargo

You're in it together. His mistake is your mistake. That's unconditional love.

This is what Jesus shows us. He didn't come and walk this earth to die for our sins of His choosing. He died for ALL sins. ALL mistakes.

Jesus is happy to say, "It's my fault." He gives grace and unconditional love.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Just T.A.L.K.!!
  1. THINK - True, Helpful, Important, Necessary, Kind; Considerate expression.
  2. ACKNOWLEDGE - Paying attention to emotional and physical cues. Be attentive to his/her thoughts and expression.
  3. LISTEN - What your partner is saying matters. Stop tuning out and tune in. Be present.
  4. KNOW the heart - React in defense vs. Respond in love.

What would happen if you were transformed by strength? Not your strength, but God's strength.

Give God your weakness and He'll give you His strength.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

So there I found myself walking through our home preparing for the move. I walked in my studio and my mom commented on the weights.

"How will you pack those?", she asked.

I won't put all of them in one box. That would be too heavy. Instead, I need to break them up. Some big, others small.

I go to pick-up a 30 lb. dumbbell, and SNAP, CRACKLE, POP!!!

My back goes into spasm.

How unfair! I don't have time for this. I have this WHOLE house to pack in less than a week. I need my strength.

But you see, I was doing everything under my own strength.

"I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." ~ Philippians 4:13

Too many times we threaten our happiness by trying to over due what we can't control.

You might be strong, but God is stronger.

The K.I.S.S. ~ Give God your weakness! "But the Lord stood with me and gave me strength." ~ 2 Timothy 4:17

It's not your strength.

God lifts you up with His strength. Otherwise, when doing life by your own strength, you will grow weary. More challenges will readily present themselves.

REFLECTION: What are you trying to do all by yourself?

Give God your weakness and He'll give you His strength.

Arise, for it is your task, and we are with you; be strong and do it." ~ Ezra 10:4 "Be transformed by strength, God's strength. He's got you!"

09/25/18 • 9 min

How many times have you said, "I will start tomorrow."?Tomorrow starts today! It doesn't wait until you're ready.

The readiness is in the actions you take today to make way for tomorrow.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

What did you dream last year at this time? How close are you to that dream now?

For me, I can say that I'm closer to my dream. However, there is much work to be done. Mistakes to make. No's to be heard. Reasons of why something didn't work forgiven to move forward.

Why do you stop living today, always waiting and hoping for tomorrow?

The work you do today is what will light your tomorrow.

You can think of today as the lighthouse, shining a light bright for all to see what is coming to be.

Even though the holidays may have you hurried and overwhelmed, trying to get the last toilet bowl cleaned; (Now that's real life!) You still have today to make your mark for tomorrow.

So what are you putting off for another Monday or a resolution?

Your calendar is only an excuse to hide what you really don't want to do. It's your escape to putting off what must happen today.

Instead, though, you slip into busyness mode and agree to do the bare minimum to get by on how others want you to live. All the yes's to fulfill your people-pleasing madness.

Been there, doing that! And it's got to settle down.

This is the week of gratitude, Thanksgiving!

Use your time to extract:

  • how you want to live,
  • what you want to do with your waking hours,
  • and the 3 goals you want to accomplish by the end of the year.
"The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today." ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr. The K.I.S.S. ~ Tomorrow starts today!

What are you waiting for? Look at today as a way to lay the groundwork for what tomorrow will hold.

"Tomorrow will bless you as you see the blessings in today!"

If you want to create impact, it all starts with the attitude of gratitude.

The attitude of gratitude awakens the heart, and what you didn't believe in now is possible.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

When you are trying to fill a void in your life, your heart become hardened and scared.

"You're trying to be everything you don't see."

The gratitude is reflected within your heart.

"Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good. His love endures forever." Psalm 118:1

The Bible doesn't tells us to give thanks only when we see God working for us.

Gratitude is always.... Never failure or wavering.

"The attitude of gratitude becomes the heartbeat of your promises" ~ Kristianne Wargo The K.I.S.S. ~ Be grateful no matter your circumstances!
  • Gratitude gives hope when times are tough.
  • Gratitude gives grace when mistakes appear.
  • Gratitude gives compassion when the heart is broken.

REFLECTION: Do you have the gratitude to keep your promises?

Thankful for your bad hair day. Thankful for your health even when overweight. Thankful for the bills even though you're living paycheck to paycheck.

GRATITUDE CHECK UP!

  1. Be honest as to where your gratitude is now.
  2. Be grateful 3x a week or 3x a day.
  3. If you could post your heart, what word would use utilize.
"Gratitude is the lifeline to your promises."

How many times are you bashing yourself with thoughts that tear down and tear apart?

We're good at it. Why not repeat what we're good at?

Because it's destructive.

What thought has crossed your mind recently that you quickly support with negative reinforcement?

Mine happened just yesterday. And it was all about Facebook Live! I haven't done Facebook Live in like forever. And you would think doing a daily podcast, Facebook Live would be nothing.

Watch the Facebook LIVE here: www.facebook.com/CreateYourNow

But instead of buying in to all the destructive murmurs, I accepted the kisses from the heart. The ones that were so faint and still until I pushed LIVE on my phone. All the negative faded to nothing --- silenced!

1029 Is Change the Enemy of Marriage?

Create Your Now Archive 4 with Kristianne Wargo

09/08/18 • 15 min

Is change the enemy of marriage? Because with change being the constant in life, there will be differences.

There is no way to predict how someone will react to change. And being the one who is going through the process, we naturally have the tendency to assume everyone else is changing too.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

But that's not the case. In fact, when we are working on our own transformation, the ones who are watching us may appear to be moving backwards.

However, they don't see it that way.

We can actually appear to be isolating ourselves and acting all high and mighty.

The reason I raise this question is that when you are in the process of change, you view life from a different perspective.

Is change the enemy of marriage?

It most definitely can be!

And with change causes friction and differences. When you are going through change --- making a conscious effort to instilling different actions, you are disturbing the norm. Rockin' the boat!

When you rock the boat, there can be division.

Now, this is not an excuse to not be your best selfie. If you don't want change to be the enemy of your marriage, what do you do?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Leave your ego out of it!
  1. No pointing fingers ---> I'm right; you're wrong.
  2. Model the "change".
  3. Give grace. Let God do the work. You do yours.
"You matter. Your marriage matters. Be present. Be incredible. Be YOU!!!"

Compliments are great when shared and expressed. But what about the backhanded compliment?

The ones that build you up and tear you down all at the same time.

Desire to be supported and encourage by other like-minded women? Join us at Women of IMPACT. http://facebook.com/groups/thewomenofimpact

Well, I caught myself dong just that to my daughter right before she headed off to bed.

Now I really didn't think much about it at the time. I was simply saying how she was so cut and little, and boy do I feel tall.

Her immediate response was, "Wow, Mom! Way to go with the backhanded compliment."

Yes she had a long day. So she could have been extra sensitive. But really the one who needed to be more sensitive was ME!!!

Here I really didn't mean anything by it. Yet, she took it all the wrong way.

What a terrible thing to do to your child, or anyone! Give them a compliment and then turn around and slap them. (figuratively speaking)

Why is it that we do this? It's like we are giving them a stroke of how great they are, and the disciplining or pointing out a shortcoming.

All you're doing is tell your child, you're not good enough!

Sit with this for a minute. ----

Maybe you don't mean to do this, but it's become a way you communicate. some of us do it out of ignorance, and others are plain mean-spirited.

Examples:

  • Way to ace such an easy test!
  • Congrats on the new job! Now you won't have an excuse to be crabby.
  • You look SO cute in that outfit. Ever think of trying that other pair of shoes?

How do you compliment without the slap?

The K.I.S.S. ~ Separate the compliment from the lesson!
  1. GIVE a compliment with no strings attached or no etc.
  2. LIVE/LOVE in the compliment.
  3. TEACH at a later date.
"Compliments are meant to build you up leaving the teaching for another day."

Love is a lifetime investment. An investment in trust, forgiveness, kindness, patience, endurance, and faithfulness.

Just because you are not feeling it in your marriage, doesn't mean you're failing. Stop being ridiculous and throwing yourself under the bus.

You can't know everything. Yet you probably think you should have all the answers by now.

Well if we had all the answers, there would be no divorces, no arguments, and no break-ups. We would know exactly what to do without even being in a relationship.

How funny life works though.We learn from experiences. And our experiences shape our expectations.

When we take our expectations into our marriage, we forget there is another person.

Because aren't their expectations the same as ours?

If you've ever had a disagreement, you know that's not true!

Love is a lifetime investment.

An investment is an act of devoting time, effort, or energy to a particular undertaking with the expectation of a worthwhile result.

Most of us are looking for the worthwhile result.

What's lacking is the true investment for love.

Love is an verb. It requires action.

Action = Action

It takes action to get action!

The K.I.S.S. ~ Action = Action!

If you want action, you have to take action.

You must be willing to take action to get the worthwhile result. You can't skip any steps. It's not like you can pass go and collect $200.

Love is a lifetime investment.

It requires...

  1. TIME - You don't qualify time. You give it unconditionally.
  2. EFFORT - Always be willing to give your best. Not just "as is".
  3. ENERGY - It's going to take all you have to give. An investment worth having is an investment worth giving.

And give it UNCONDITIONALLY!!!

"An investment worth having is an investment worth giving. Love is a lifetime investment." Where are you going to start your investment today!
