155\\ How Fit Moms are Rocking Holiday Fitness Goals

Are you ready to break free from the pressure to let your health slide this holiday season? In this episode, we’re sharing a behind the scenes look into Fit Moms Academy and how these Fit Moms are rocking fitness goals in the busiest time of the year.
We’re celebrating wins, discussing boundaries with family, and setting achievable fitness goals to keep you moving forward—even when life gets busy. Let’s talk about how to finish the year strong without succumbing to societal pressures to take it easy!
In This Episode
Wins & Motivation: The importance of celebrating your progress.
Healthy Boundaries: Navigating family expectations without compromising your goals.
Staying Active: Tips for tackling 5Ks, core challenges, and staying consistent through the holidays.
“You don’t have to press pause on your health goals just because it’s the holidays.”“The community we surround ourselves with is key to staying motivated and focused.”
In this episode, these were my key takeaways:
Wins matter! Take time to acknowledge your progress—it fuels long-term success.
Boundaries are essential. Saying “no” can create space for the “yes” that aligns with your goals.
Consistency wins the race. Even small steps, like joining a 5K or a core challenge, can make a huge difference.

Welcome back to the Kingdom Fit Moms Podcast! We’re continuing our 12 Days of Freedom series, designed to help you break free from the weight loss struggle and finish 2024 strong! 🎉
In this episode, I’ll tackle a question I hear often:"Should I try [insert trendy diet, medication, or plan here]?"
We’ll explore the good, the bad, and the ugly when it comes to popular weight loss solutions like Ozempic, keto, Weight Watchers, and more. If you’ve ever thought, “I just need a little boost,” this conversation is for you.

How to shift from worldly solutions to God-centered weight loss by aligning your heart, mind, and daily habits with His design.
Episode Highlights

Medications and fad diets often offer a temporary reprieve but rarely lead to permanent solutions.
The risks of weight loss medications like Ozempic, including serious side effects like pancreatitis.

🌟 God’s Blueprint for Food
Discover how eating the food God designed can help you lose weight without counting calories or feeling restricted.
Why real, God-made food restores your body and renews your energy while glorifying Him.

Welcome to Day 1 of the 12 Days of Freedom! Today, we’re diving into what it truly means to walk in freedom from the struggle with weight. Spoiler: it’s not about perfection or never eating sweets again! Freedom starts with surrender—letting go of cultural lies and embracing God’s design for our health.

In this episode, these were my key takeaways:
Walking in freedom starts with surrender—letting go of control and embracing God’s design for food and health.
Real food, made by God, is a gift to restore and renew us, not something to idolize or fear.
