#LiveBoldly Day 9: Behind the Heart

Well guys, I have to say that I apologize (sort of, but not really) for my sometimes rambling in this video, the fact that I start eating my hair toward the end, and the fact that you can totally hear all of the noise on the street behind the building. My video producer husband is going to have some things to say about this little makeshift number, but sometimes I need to step beyond my comfort zone of having him do awesome video for me and just get it out there.

If you can’t listen to the video I am exploring a little deeper the fact that 2 Timothy 1:7 has just been weighing so very heavily on my heart during these 31 days. I never set out with a verse in mind, but shortly after starting I re-heard this verse from the New Testament and have just been hooked on it. It’s amazing to me the thought that fear is not something that God gave us. He didn’t give us that spirit of fear, which means that the times we are afraid of _____(fill in the blank)_____ it’s not because God made us that way. It’s because the world has conditioned us to feel that fear of standing out. I believe that if we are doing something because it is a gift that God has given us to bring him glory, then fear should never be present. But now we have to recondtion ourselves to grab boldly hold of the spirits that God DID give us – power/empowerment for his glory, love for his glory, and self-discipline for his glory.

So there you have it. I’m no biblical scholar, but I’m wrapping my entire existence around those words right now, forcing myself to let go of the fear and stepping out in boldness in the spirit that God has blessed me with.

What about you? How can you step away from fear and into the freedom that God has given you?

    I really enjoyed meeting you at AWBU!! This is the first post I have seen of yours in this series, but I am about to go back and read/watch them all! What an amazing way to start off your 30’s! I will turn 30 in March so I am sort of relating (already kinda thinking about it) to wanting to make it count! 2 Timothy 1:7 has been my verse for a while now. I have had to break out of living my life in fear and worry. So PROUD of you for stepping out of your comfort zone to do this!! What a blessing for yourself and others!!!

Just popping in from the place moms flock to on ra Just popping in from the place moms flock to on rainy days just to get out of the dang house: the aisles of Target. šŸ˜‚ Not a lot to say, but I’m going to leave you  with 3 affirmations I want you to repeat to yourself today:

ā¤ļø I AM CAPABLE
ā¤ļø I AM ENOUGH

BECAUSE YOU ARE. Have a wonderful day friends!
Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smo Working on my #avoquados y’all! This protein smoothie has 40 grams of protein, lots of green goodness and tastes like a pineapple-vanilla dream!

- 1 cup water
- 1 cup frozen pineapple
- 1 cup frozen kale or spinach
- 1 scoop vanilla protein
- 1 serving collagen peptides (I use 2 scoops of @bulletproof brand; some brands just have one big scoop)
- 1 scoop greens powder (I used @amazinggrass)

Blend and enjoy!
šŸ„— FAST FOOD! Real real: I hate when people are šŸ„— FAST FOOD!

Real real: I hate when people are all, ā€œyou can cook food in the same time it takes to grab takeout.ā€ That is not always true, and sometimes it’s just about not wanting to try. Effort is hard, amen?!

Today I’m thankful to have had the energy and want-to to cook something a little healthier and save a little money. That’s not always the case, but today it was and I’ll count it as a win!

In the bowl: 3/4 cup black beans, 1/4 cup corn, 2 big handfuls of spinach, and two eggs. Seasoned it all with salt, pepper, garlic and smoked paprika!

Any wins y’all feel like sharing today? Let’s hear it and celebrate!
Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thi Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Oats! (AKA the thing I’ve been eating on repeat all week):

- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/2 cup milk of choice
- 2 tablespoons brewed coffee (optional)*
- 2 tablespoons powdered peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon ground flax seeds
- 1 serving unflavored collagen peptides
- Sweetener of choice
- 1 tablespoon chocolate chips

Heat the oats, water, milk and coffee in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until thickened to your liking (although keep in kind the flax seeds and cooling will thicken it even further). Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips; I like to use a whisk to make sure the collagen doesn’t clump. Pour in a bowl, sprinkle with the chocolate chips and enjoy!

*I love to add a little coffee to mine to help enhance the chocolate flavor, but you do you!

Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but Mentioned this yesterday in the ol’ stories, but thought it was worth sharing here too. When it comes to how I plan out meals, I look for 3 things:

šŸ„—Whole foods. Not like the store (that’s called Whole Paycheck, right?), but meaning foods that haven’t been minimally processed. Fresh veggies, lean protein sources, whole grains, etc. I do have a few processed things on hand (protein bars) just in case I’m in a place where I need something SUPER quick, but that’s it. 

šŸ„—High fiber. There are so many reasons we should be getting in plenty of fiber (Google is your friend here guys), but if I’m being honest I just feel better when I’m getting plenty of it. Leaner, more regular, more satiated. The list goes on! Besides the obvious fresh produce, I also eat plenty of legumes, whole grains (rolled oats, farro, quinoa - even though it’s a seed), flax and chia seeds.

šŸ„—Hit my protein goals. Again, an essential nutrient. I have composition goals, and for my muscles to recover from my hard workouts I have to make sure I’m getting in enough protein. For me this means chicken, fish, and the occasional beef or pork.

Wondering - would y’all be interested in how I do my meal planning and shopping trips?  If so just drop your favorite emoji below!
It’s Friday, which means a myriad of things:

1ļøāƒ£Weekend vibes! Think soccer games, yard work, church, family time. Love it!
2ļøāƒ£The end of my meal prep. Not gonna lie, I won’t make this stew again...although the couscous was a fun addition!
3ļøāƒ£Sleeping in. HALLELUJAH.
4ļøāƒ£A chance to set up next week to be a great one!

It’s going to be a fabulous weekend y’all. What are you up to?!
#brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick #brinner to the rescue tonight! I could just kick myself for not showing y’all how orange these yolks were. šŸ³ Eggs are one of the foods I spend a little more on because the flavor and nutrient density are worth it!

Pictured: seared mushrooms, roasted baby broccoli, bacon and 2 eggs. Not pictured: another parfait like last night’s because šŸ˜‹.

What’s your brinner go-to?!
