Aiming For Skinny: Skinny is the goal, right!? Isn't that what we're aiming for. We want to be able to stand in front of the mirror without sucking it all in and not hate what we see for a change. Right? It's not about getting skinny. It's about being whole! The thing is, we have to look beyond the mirror and turn our evaluating gaze inward instead of outward once in a while. Ask yourself the question, why do you need to be skinny?

For the second video in her At Home Exercise series, Coach Monica's Morning Minute starts 'Stepping It Up' and invites you to do the same! If you gave it a try, tell us about it!

The popular mindset in our culture is fad diets, miracle foods, and quick fixes for our weight loss needs. Unfortunately, although these may be helpful, they never address what is often the underlying issue of our weight challenges in the first place - the heart. The Grace & Strength Lifestyle is Different. We understand this simple truth that most of our weight issues are of the heart, and not the body.

Today marks the beginning of a fun new video series with Coach Monica. Over the next few weeks, Monica's Morning Minute will be talking about 'At Home Exercise'. How do you get in your At Home Exercise?

Grace and Strength came at the perfect time, God's timing. I am in my 50s and have my share of health issues and life struggles but through it all I had Jesus as my Savior and a wonderful family. At twenty-five I was diagnosed with a thyroid condition. I can say that is when it started, the battle with weight gain and fatigue, but it was also complicated by poor eating habits and a lack of proper exercise.
