EPISODE 75

In this series, I share pages from my personal journal, God winks, or scripture that has really been talking to me lately. These episodes are short, sweet, and imperfect, but full of love, nonetheless. Thank you for allowing me to be real, raw, and just share the truth with you all.

This week, when you start looking for validation from the world, remember that God knows your heart. He has claimed you as His own. Worldly validation is fleeting, but God’s is eternal. We all have our imperfections, but we are all exactly where we are supposed to be on our life’s journey. 

This episode is for you if:

• You want to learn to stop seeking validation from others
• You like to know you’re not the only one playing the comparison game - and also want a way out of it
• You’re curious about what is in Jen’s journal

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 74

In this series, I share pages from my personal journal, God winks, or scripture that has really been talking to me lately. These episodes are short, sweet, and imperfect, but full of love, nonetheless. Thank you for allowing me to be real, raw, and just share the truth with you all.

This week, when Satan tries to use guilt to sneak his way into your life, I challenge you to pause and say, “Grace over guilt. God’s strength over my striving.” Say it out loud. Pray with your kids and teach them about God’s grace. We are not meant to be perfect. The ONLY perfect human was Jesus. And it’s through Him that we are covered in grace.

This episode is for you if:

• You want to know more about how you are covered in God’s grace
• You sometimes find yourself feeling mom guilt and want a way to free yourself of it
• You’re curious about what is in Jen’s journal

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 73

God has laid this series on my heart for a while now and I have finally decided to open my heart up to you all. In this series, I will be sharing pages from my personal journal, God winks, or scripture that has really been talking to me lately. These episodes will be short, sweet, and imperfect, but full of love, nonetheless. I can’t wait to be real, raw, and just share the truth with you all.

This week, I challenge you to write down Ephesians 2:10 and put it somewhere that you will see it daily. Put it in your workout space. In your car. On your bathroom mirror. On your refrigerator. I want you to see it every single day so that you can be reminded that YOU are God’s masterpiece. 

This episode is for you if:

• You want to know more about how God sees you
• You only have a few minutes to shift your mindset
• You’re curious about what is in Jen’s journal

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

Kelli Boling has been a member of Jen’s Get Fit Group for about a year and has loved every second of it! She has been physically active since she was a kid but JGFG has given her tremendous support and confidence across many areas of her life. Her only complaint is that this group didn’t exist 10 years ago!

This week, I challenge you to wake up 30 minutes earlier than usual to take some time for yourself. Start your day with intention! You can do your workout, read your Bible, write in your journal, drink your hot coffee in peace and quiet, anything that allows you to start your day with a positive mindset. Who knows - you might even make yourself a morning person! 

This episode is for you if:

• You love hearing from sweatysisters
• You want tips on how to stay consistent even when life is lifin’ or your routine is off

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 71

Comparison. Jealousy. Insecurity. We are all guilty of these at some point or another in our lives. But thankfully, we serve an abundant God. And just because someone is successful, that doesn’t mean you can’t be too. That should be what fills your mind. Because you become what you fill your mind with. Fill your mind with the fruit of the spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, and self-control. Surround yourself with others who encourage you and make you feel like you can change the world. Because you can!

This week, I challenge you to encourage another woman. Encourage her if she inspires you or if she is intimidating you. Encourage her even when you want to add a “me too” during your discussion. Sometimes it’s better to just listen and say, “I’m proud of you. You are doing a great job!” Just try it and see how it can change both of your days!

This episode is for you if:

• You are ready to stop the cycle of comparison
• You want to build a circle of women who build each other up
• You want to become the positive influence your kids need 

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 70

This episode is all about becoming the woman your future self would be proud of. Your future self is watching every move you make. Every choice you make. Every single day. She is already within you. She is the version of you who is making the hard choices today so you can become a better you tomorrow. 

This week, I challenge you to take the one step of making your future self proud. Take your walk. Throw the scale away. Wear the shorts. Wear the tank top. Or wear the bathing suit. Be intentional every single day to be 1% better than yesterday. What does that mean for you?

This episode is for you if:

• You want to make your future self proud
• You need a little pep talk to become your stronger self
• You’re in need of a refreshed mindset - any and all effort is good enough!

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 69

Carissa Elliott joined JGFG in 2019 and has since experienced many seasons of life. After winning the 12-Week Challenge in 2023, she decided it was time to commit to her health journey. Today, Carissa shares how she involves her kids in her workouts and teaches them the importance of fitness and food choices. 

This week, I challenge you to simplify your meals. Every meal doesn’t need to be Thanksgiving dinner with all the sides and options. If macros or meal planning stresses you out, choose one night to make extra protein that will last you an extra day or two. Then pair it with a carb and a veggie and your lunch or dinner is ready!

This episode is for you if:

• You love hearing from sweatysisters
• You want tips on how to simplify your meals
• You’re a busy parent who doesn’t know when to fit your workout in

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 68

Carb cycling is not for everyone. But it can be helpful for some! In this episode, I explain what carb cycling is and who it might be for. I even give example macros for each phase along with a daily meal plan depending on your activity level. If you are new to macros, make sure to listen to my previous podcast episodes, “Macros and Why They Matter,” “Macros: The Basics and How to Get Started,” and “Macros: Preparing for Success and Consistency.”

This week, I challenge you to dive a little deeper into macros. If you are not tracking what you’re eating, do it for a week and see where you are at. If you have been tracking, take a look at what’s going well and what needs improvement. And if you think you might benefit from carb cycling, message me and let’s chat!

This episode is for you if:

• You want to know if carb cycling is for you
• You want to know more about how to carb cycle
• You want an example daily meal plan of each phase of the carb cycle

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 67

The truth is, eating healthy is not the same as eating for fat loss. Protein, carbs, and fat each play an important role in helping you reach your health goals. You MUST maintain the correct balance to get the results you want. In this episode, I explain what macros are and why they matter more than just eating healthy, the common mistakes that keep women stuck, and how to track and adjust macros for fat loss.

This week, I challenge you to download a macro tracking app like My Macros+ or MacrosFirst and start tracking your macros. Just track what you are already eating. Enter each and every bite! You may be surprised by how off you are when it comes to estimating your protein, carbs, and fat. Then, focus on 0.8-1 gram per pound of body weight of protein per day. Your JGFG membership includes macro coaching, so message me if you have any questions or want to join JGFG and would like my help!

This episode is for you if:

• You are frustrated with your results after “eating healthy”
• You want to better understand the importance of macros
• You want to start tracking your macros, but don’t know where to start

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.

EPISODE 66

In this episode, I am tackling one of the biggest fitness misconceptions out there when it comes to cardio. We often hear that the key to losing more body fat is more cardio. I am here to tell you that I wholeheartedly disagree! It is actually the LEAST effective way to lose body fat and to get the tone, fit body that you are wanting. Listen in to get my tips on how to use cardio and strength training together to maximize your results based on your fitness goals!

This week, I challenge you to get your 8,000 steps per day, non-negotiable, and make a plan to fit cardio into your schedule to reach your specific fitness goals. 

This episode is for you if:

• You’ve always thought you have to do more cardio to lose fat
• You enjoy cardio and are not sure how to fit it in with your weight training to maximize your results
• You want to learn more about how to train for long term results

You are strong. You are powerful. You are worthy.
