Psalm 16:8, “I know the Lord is always with me. I will not be shaken, for he is right beside me.”

3 PILLARS OF CONSISTENCY

1. Choose ONE anchor habit -One habit that grounds you.

Examples:

• Protein at every meal
• A 10-minute walk
• Drinking enough water
• Tracking your food
• Going to bed on time

2. Have a “Busy Week Plan,”

A Busy Week Plan sounds like:

• I’ll work out 3 times, even if it’s 10 minutes.
• I’ll make balanced choices at 2 meals each day.
• I’ll take one walk per day.
• I’ll track breakfast and lunch daily.

3. Cover your intentions in prayer

“Lord, give me what I need today, which is You. Help me choose actions that align with your plan for my life and give me wisdom in my choices, peace in my emotions, and strength in my body. I surrender my body and my choices to You. Thank You Father for the birth of Your Son, help me to remember every moment of every day, the true meaning of this season. The rest is just noise. I love you Lord, Amen."

A 10-Minute Christmas Circuit. Do each move 40 seconds on, 20 seconds rest. Repeat twice.

1. Squats
2. Wall push-ups or regular push-ups
3. March in place or jog in place
4. Hip hinge / good mornings
5. Plank or modified plank

Stretch for 1 minute after. This is enough. This counts. This moves your body toward health today, instead of waiting for January.

PROTEIN HOT CHOCOLATE.

• 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
• 1 scoop chocolate protein powder
• 1 tbsp cocoa powder
• 1–2 tsp stevia or sweetener of choice
• Pinch of salt
• Optional: peppermint extract

Directions:

1. Heat almond milk on stovetop.
2. Whisk in protein powder, cocoa, sweetener, and salt.
3. Add peppermint if you want that Christmas flavor.
4. Pour into a mug and enjoy on a cozy December evening.

Lord, thank You for being steady when everything around us feels busy. Help me walk in consistency this December. Give me strength, clarity, and peace in my choices. Help me honor You with my food, my body, my movement, and my mindset. I surrender this week to You. Amen.

1 Corinthians 10:13 “No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, He will also provide a way out so you can endure it.”

• Control • No guilt- Fill your plate like this: ✔ 50% protein + produce ✔ 50% fun holiday foods. Protein stabilizes hunger- Produce adds volume-You still get the foods you love.

3. One Plate — Eat Slowly — Enjoy Every Bite

4. Drop the Guilt — It’s Not Holy and It’s Not Helping- Guilt after eating does NOT:

• Burn calories-Undo your choices-Help your mindset-Make you healthier-Make you more godly.

5. No “I Blew It” Thinking Allowed- Did you hear me? There is NO condemnation in a believer! This is the thought that destroys progress more than food ever will.
