January 27, 2022 Water 101: Why I Prioritize 100 Ounces Daily and I Think You Should Too
You know I'm a HUGE believer in honoring my body daily through movement, mindset, and macros. But one thing I haven't talked a lot about in the past and have been highlighting more recently on Instagram is HYDRATION.

I truly believe that hydration is just as important as movement and nourishment. That's why in this episode of the Embrace Your Real podcast, I share with you 7 reasons why I prioritize drinking AT LEAST 100 ounces of water a day.

And I know what you're thinking...

Julie, HOW can I drink 100 ounces of water daily?!

Here is what I recommend you do...

One of the easiest ways to drink 100 ounces of water daily is to use a super large water bottle. Then, you must know how many times you need to refill that water bottle each day to reach your hydration goal.

From there, figure out by what time of the day you need to drink X amount of water. For example, I like to aim to drink 50 ounces by 11:00 AM. That way, I don't get stuck drinking all my water at night trying to make up for my lack of hydration throughout my day.

If you want to learn more tips and tricks for building the body you want, I have already released an episode that gives you a step-by-step guide!

January 24, 2022 Carbohydrates 101: Why I Love Carbs And Why I Think You Should Too
DO NOT FEAR CARBS. DO NOT FEAR CARBS. DO. NOT. FEAR. CARBS. If you do fear carbs this episode is for you, and if you don't fear carbs, this episode is also for you. Here's the truth: You don't need to fear them, you just need to be mindful of how much you are eating them. My goal by the end of the episiode is for you to have a clear understanding of why it's important to eat carbs and also why it's important to eat them in the right amounts. So, let me ask you this…Do you know how many carbs your body needs?! Copying how many carbs someone else is eating gives you an inaccurate number. Googling it gives you an inaccurate number. GUESSING gives you an inaccurate number. So if the answer is NO, and you do not know the REAL number you should be eating… You can download my free macro counting made simple online academy ebook here that gives you a step-by-step guide on how to calculate it yourself! Or if you want my help, you can sign up for my macro counting made simple online academy here. I'll calculate your macros for you plus you'll get access to the enter academy.

January 13, 2022 Using the Compound Effect to Reach Your Goals
I'm going to start this episode off by sharing a few stats with you on new years resolutions… Of those who make a New Year's resolution, after 1 week 75% are still successful in keeping it. After two weeks, the number drops to 71%. After 1 month, the number drops again to 64%. And after 6 months, 46% of people who make a resolution are still successful in keeping it. In comparison, of those people who have similar goals but do not set a resolution, only 4% are still successful after 6 months. Don't let yourself become a statisitic. In order to do this, we need to break our all or nothing mentality. That's why I want to chat with you about the compound effect and how this can help you break that mentality. If you want help buiding new habits this year, it's time you join my honor your body challenge. This is a challenge to help you jump start long term habits that will bring you long term results.

January 10, 2022 Real Talk on Building Confidence in 2022
The other day girl asked me on a Q&A "How did you become so confident" and quite frankly I told her that for years and years, I would try to read other thoughts from "guru's" on confidence and I always found myself in the same place, hating my body, hating myself and never feeling like enough. Until I came to the realization: I, myself am not enough, I never have been enough and never will never be enough, but God…God is enough, He always was, always will be and that's why I and you listening can live in confidence. I saw this quote the other day, and couldn't agree more with it: "Confidence comes when God's thoughts about yourself become the ONLY ones that matter." I wanted to share that first because although practical advice that I am about to share with you can be helpful, but understanding the profound truth that ultimate and lasting confidence comes from God is the most important! Jeremiah 17:7 says "but blessed is the one who trusts in the Lord, who's confidence is in Him" Again this message here is that we don't need to stress so much about our own weaknesses. We don't have to be the smartest, or most successfull or most productive or the "most" anything… Our job is to do our best and trust that the Lord will work though that. With that being stated first, tune into this episode for some other reminders I wanted to share with you. P.S: If you are wanting to take steps towards honoring your body this year, I want to personally invite you to my 4-Week Honor Your Body Challenge that starts on Monday January 17th! This 4 week challenge designed to help you commit or re-commit to honoring your body through movement, macros and mindset! It is a great way for anyone looking at starting the new year strong with their health. Starting off on an accelerated path will give momentum that can last all year long! Sign up here.

January 03, 2022 5 Important Things I Learned in 2021
