Here is a sweet, tangy, and cool meal for you! Perfect for spring and summer. I like it when I am just sick and tired of lettuce salads.

My Journey to and through Grace and Strength: I've never been a jump on the band wagon type of person. However, when several close co-workers were finding such great success with Grace and Strength I had to take a look at what they were doing. When I first looked at this program I had the reaction of yes it was a "diet", no magic power here. Eat less, move more, and lose weight. Ok, been there done that, can't make that last. I need the magic power. I want to lose almost 70 pounds.

My weight was a side issue, the real issue has been my heart: I have struggled with my weight for most of my adult life, going from diet to diet, all to gain the weight back. My weight had begun to take its toll on my small frame, I had an immense amount of back pain, high blood pressure, diabetes and really bad sleep apnea. I longed to be an active Mom/Mimi but I didn't have the energy to do anything that was above my normal activity that had to get done.

We are so happy to share this story from a recent graduate about her journey on the Grace and Strength Lifestyle: The Grace and Strength journey for me has been more in building my relationship with God and leaning on him more than any of the weight loss. I've heard of Grace and Strength before and even have had friends walk down the G & S journey.

This recent graduate, who wishes to remain anonymous, has a story to tell about acceptance and accountability and what she found and achieved when she joined the Grace and Strength Lifestyle. I have been with Grace and Strength for more than a year. I joined in January 2016. I live in Europe and simply found Grace and Strength on the internet as I was looking for a solution for my weight problems.
