Her Weight Loss Mindset | Lose Weight, Meal Prep, Healthy Habits, and Workouts

Motivation doesn't actually exist in my opinion. I believe you have a drive to get healthy, but it's discipline that gets you there. Here are 6 ways to build a habit of exercise when you're struggling to even start.

1. Find one you actually enjoy! If you're doing the newest popular workout and hate it, stop! Exercise is a celebration of what your body can do, it is NOT a punishment. There are so my styles of workouts; dance cardio, yoga, Pilates, weights, body weight. I have recently fallen in LOVE with primal/yoga workouts and am doing a 20-minute program that has completely changed my life AND my body. So, find something you love, it should leave you sore and struggling, but not dreading the next one.

2. Start with 1-2 days. I've worked with women for years who have an all or nothing mindset, I operated in that for years and still struggle at times. But it never works, pick 1-2 days to start at a time that makes you feel good. Let's leave old habits that don't serve us!

3. Find the time that works in your schedule and schedule it like a hair appointment you would never miss! Maybe ask God to give you the right time and He will! I started working out in the evening but found I ate better if I did mornings, so I practiced my morning routine and now that's what works. Find yours!

4. ONE workout at a time. Did you hear me? ONE! One workout, one day at a time. We're remove the all or nothing mindset and remember that God's word says to not focus on tomorrow. What CAN you do today? That is enough! Pray for His strength, not yours.

5. Workout when sore or you'll be MORE sore. The calendar I follow is created to bust out lactic acid so if you do leg day one day and cardio is the next, do it. It may be a struggle at first, but by the end you'll feel a million times better! I tell my students to trust the process! 

6. 30 minutes is all you need. Going to the gym, overtraining for an hour will never help you build consistency. I prefer at home workouts, it's how I've built consistency. Again, do what works for you, but all you need is a good sweat in 30 minutes. Do NOT overtrain. 

Which of these stuck out to you most? I'd love to hear from you! Connect with me anywhere at Her Weight Loss Mindset! And remember, exercise is therapy, cheap therapy. Give yourself grace and focus on one improvement at a time. That is what adds up to big results!

Are you sick of trying diet after diet and NOT losing weight?

Hey there friend, I'm Lindy Schlabach, Christian Fitness & Nutrition Coach. I gained 100 pounds in my late twenties and struggled for years to get it off. Seven years ago, I found a basic system that worked and has helped me lose 90 of those pounds. I’ve been working with women in online fitness and nutrition ever since to break chains of diet culture, embrace their bodies and fueling instead of dieting. 

 In this podcast, I'll teach you how to:

• • Lose Weight in a Way that honors God without obsessing about the scale
  • Meal Plan and Prep for Your Family
  • Follow a MACRO based plan that allows you to eat the foods you love.
  • Recognize and pray through triggers keeping you stuck.
  • I’ll help you Plan your week and schedule your self-care time.
  • Cultivate a spirit of self-discipline in your workouts you actually enjoy.
   
  It's time to give God your health journey and watch Him make you new, from the inside, OUT.

Are you struggling to get everything done? Are you especially stressing this holiday season? Here are 4 ways to take back your schedule so you can stay on track with your weight loss goals, even through the Christmas season.

1. Plan your month. Get a monthly calendar and schedule everything. Then break it down week by week. This will help you see what you MUST do and add in the empty pockets as you wish.

2. Schedule rest. My students think I'm crazy when I tell them this but most of them don't make time to rest, like ever. God calls us clearly in His word to keep the Sabbath HOLY. We're not doing laundry or cleaning, we're at church, we're spending time with people we love, serving, focusing on HIM. I don't care what day you do it, but DO IT. It is written.

3. Learn to say "no thank you" or "i have plans" even if your plan is scheduled rest, it's STILL scheduled. If Susie calls you Saturday to meet for lunch but you've planned to rest, take a rain check, she will understand. 

4. What do you actually want to do or feel called to do? It's ok to start new traditions or say no thanks to a party that will make you sacrifice your God-given convictions. Your only duty in this life is to live for Jesus, you shouldn't be justifying your plans to anyone but Him. 

Ask God to lead you where HE needs you then have the strength and courage to walk in faithful obedience. Time is our most PRECIOUS commodity, spend it wisely.

Are you struggling to wake up when the alarm goes off? You're not alone. Here are 4 things you can do to create a biblical mindset around your morning routine. 

1. Prepare the night before, pack lunches, prep coffee, set out your workout clothes and work outfit. Pray, ask God to give you His strength to rise with GRATITUDE for another day as the alarm goes off.

2. Pick 1-2 days a week to start. I started with Wednesday and Friday when I decided to take control of my mornings. I didn't want to all or nothing 5 days a week, that never works. 1-2 was sustainable and I started with 10-15 minutes at a time. 

3. Mel Robbins, watch her TED talk on how to stop screwing yourself over. I also recommend reading 5 Second Rule, it changed my life and helped MAKE me a morning person but also take action in other areas of my life. 

4. Spend your first moments with Jesus. If you want God to give you His best then it's time to offer Him the same. He gets our first fruits of time in the mornign, not our lukewarm leftovers at the end of the day. If you want discipline, seek His will daily. Discipline is a fruit of the spirit; you just need to cultivate it a bit. 

If you truly want to make the most out of your morning routine, PUT YOUR PHONE DOWN. You should have to get out of bed to shiut off your phone if it's your alarm. 15 steps minimum. Then don't touch it until your prayer, reading and journaling is done. Social media is distracting you and making you less productive. Email can wait, Jesus shouldn't have to. 

I am guilty and still struggle with all of these, thankfully His mercies are new each day. Pray. Ask Him for help and He WILL show up for you, then it's your call to walk in faithful obedience. You can do this!

Tis the season to be grateful, for the birth of our Savior and all our blessings. Here are a few ways you can stay on track this Christmas season: 

1. Have a morning routine, start with 1-2 days a week, 10 minutes earlier. Pray, Ask God to fill you with a heart of gratitude.

2. Have a plan, what's one thing you can do today? Drink water. Move. What CAN you do? 

3. Release the weight loss goal or vanity metric, it won't keep you going when life gets hard. Focus on Jesus and operating in Holy Spirit obedience. When we work to be obedient to the Holy Spirit, our journey becomes outward focused instead of inward.

Let's eat and move and hydrate and be present with the people at your table, yes even the tricky ones! Remember that we've all fallen short of God's glory and this can be an incredible time of showing the love of Jesus without uttering a word about Him. 

What are you grateful for today?

Infertility. Breast Reduction. Rape. Bulged disc 6 weeks ago, the list goes on. I've lost muscle tone the last 6 weeks, not working out. It's hard, it's frustrating. Week before last I got out of the shower and an audible "ARGHHHH" came out of my mouth when I saw my dancing cellulite in the bathroom mirror. Holy Spirit was like 'Whoaaaaa' how about a little gratitude... oh yea...how quickly we forget. 

What are you shaming your body for today? What are you saying or thinking about your body that you wouldn't say to your daughter or best friend? Your body is beautiful, designed by the Creator of the universe Himself, He calls you worthy, wonderul and righteous. We must change the conversations we have about our bodies. We all struggle, but when we focus on the good, we want to move towards our goals because God tells us to. 

No amount of weight loss will make you feel good until God is your source of strength. I know because I weighed the same in 2019 as I do now but back then I was slave to a diet and avoiding social situations to not veer off the plan. That isn't life. 

It's time to speak LIFE over your body, the areas you love and the areas you're working on. You are beautiful, JUST as you are! I am proud of you for wanting to lean into your goals, we're to be a living sacrifice daily and it's hard to do our God-given work when we loathe our skin.

Take a second to thank your body for all she's done for you today.

Up until 6 months ago, I was caught in a legalist diet that I'd followed for years and encouraged my clients to use. God kept calling me to lay down my pride and trust that I needed more food, less elimination and focus on food in general. The greatest struggle of my life. 

For 18 months God called me to eat more food and lay down my heavy weights, I was under-fueled and sore, constantly. But I didn't listen, I found myself hungry, overworked, sore and never seeing true changes in my body. 

Once I started to lean in and follow His lead, I found myself bloated and six pounds up. I was really frustrated in my prayer time one day and He kept asking, Do you trust Me? Do you trust Me? Yes Lord, of course I do. So, I kept going and since then I've lost over 20 pounds, reaching my 94-pound weight loss goal. 
 
He always knows best. Why do we fight it?

MACROS are amazing because we don't have to eliminate food groups, we take 5 minutes to plan each day, plugging in the meals we know we'll have, dinner out, a cocktail or dessert, we plan it and work around the rest. It's a beautiful, freeing type of eating and one I'm working with my weight loss mentorship clients on right now.

You don't have to (and you shouldn't) worry about Thanksgiving, plan your food, work around the rest, drink your water and enjoy Your LIFE. This is empowered eating and the people you see reaching their weight loss goals are eating this way. It is freeing, it is sustainable, it is the KEY to your success!

After I gained 5 pounds in one day a few years ago, I decided I should probably have a plan that i can stick to for Thanksgiving that doesn't have me waking up feeling like a meatball. Of course, you'd have to eat 7,000 calories to actually gain two pounds, but our bodies will hold on to foods we're not used to eating if we're not careful. 

Here are my 3 tips to stay on track with your healthy habits and still lose weight this Thanksgiving: 

1. Focus on Gratitude and all you have to be thankful for. 
Why Because eating to fuel instead of feel is a fantastic shift in perspective and helps you connect with your body in a healthy way. Start your day with Jesus in prayer, then get IN the word and ask Him to speak to you when you struggle. Many people are spending their first holiday without a loved one, people are hurting, let's focus on the GOOD and how God continues to bless us, even in our struggle. 

2. SLEEP. 7-8 hours. People considerably underestimate sleep to help them lose weight. I've tested multiple times waking up after 6-7 hours of sleep, then going back to bed for an hour and EVERY TIME, I wake up 2-3 pounds lighter. Every time. and I tested it multiple times. Get to resting! 

3. Plan and Prepare. IF you're hosting make sure you have a ton of options for veggies and healthy snacks. Eat a good healthy breakfast ( I love my superfoods) and don't go into the meal starting. Failing to plan is planning to fail and there's no room for shame this holiday season. The enemy isn't winning that battle for our mind and body anymore!

Enjoy a treat, enjoy two treats. Don't shame yourself and don't be gluttonous.
