Proverbs 31:17 “She is energetic and strong, a hard worker.”

1 Corinthians 10:31 "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

Protein helps you:

1. Stay full longer — It slows digestion, helping you avoid those mid-afternoon energy crashes or late-night snacking binges.
2. Build lean muscle — Muscle burns more calories, even at rest. So, more muscle = a faster metabolism.
3. Maintain your progress — When you lose weight without enough protein, you can lose muscle instead of fat. Protein protects your progress.

Here’s what this could look like in your real life:

• Breakfast: Greek yogurt with berries, or eggs with veggies.
• Lunch: A chicken wrap, tuna salad, or cottage cheese bowl.
• Dinner: Salmon, lean beef, or lentil chili with a side of roasted veggies.
• Snacks: Protein shakes, boiled eggs, jerky, or edamame.

Ask yourself:

1. Do I often eat enough protein to truly fuel my body? Start logging your food to see where you are.
2. What meals or snacks could I easily upgrade by adding more protein? Rx bars, hard boiled eggs, Greek yogurt with fruit and cottage cheese.
3. How can I use this area of nutrition to glorify God instead of slipping into guilt or perfectionism without making excuses?

Holy Father, thank You for creating our bodies so wonderfully and intricately. Thank You that we can honor You through how we care for ourselves. Lord, help my friend listening today to see food not as an enemy, but as a gift. Give her wisdom to fuel her body with what it truly needs. Strengthen her when she feels weak or unmotivated, and remind her that progress takes patience, grace, and faith. Help her to find joy in the process, peace in the journey, and confidence that with You, she can do all things—even this. In Jesus’ name, amen

Psalm 16:11 “You will show me the way of life, granting me the joy of your presence and the pleasures of living with you forever.”

James 1:2-4 “Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.”

Here are a few ways you can implement this this week:

• Keep a gratitude journal during your journey. When we focus on the good, and you HAVE good, we forget about our struggles.
• Celebrate non-scale victories: energy, less screen time, earlier mornings, time with Jesus, physical strength, energy, clarity. More water, more steps, looser fitting pants.
• Create joyful routines: worship walks, prayerful meal prep. Jesus jams in the kitchen or workout room.

Lord, I don’t feel joyful in my weight loss journey, but I want to. I desire you, I ache to let you lead Father but I struggle with perfection, with people pleasing, with thinking I’m unworthy. Heal these thoughts Father and show me what You need me to see. Thank you for joy, thank You that You are with me always. Lord, I want to find joy in each step, will You teach me how? Help me see your goodness in the process Jesus, not just the outcome. Amen.

Isaiah 40:29-31, it says “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary and young men stumble and fall; But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.”

So here are a few ways you can walk this out in your life this week:

• Start with 10 minutes: stretch, walk, dance, praise. As you move, tell Him what you’re thankful for.
• Declare affirmations: “I am building strength, not perfection.” Did you write your own? Are you using the ones I shared last week?
• Celebrate effort, not performance. It’s not what we do but what we allow the Father to do through us and to us. Laying down our cross daily, releasing control, forget the strive and try. Let Him lead.

Holy and Heavenly Father, I surrender my doubt, fear, overwhelm, frustration and shame. Father Replace my struggles with your peace, strength and discipline. Help me get up off this couch and move with Your perseverance and focus. You give me confidence Father, knowing You go with me gives me hope. Thank You for loving me, it’s in Your Holy Name I pray, Amen.
