$\"\"$ <\/a>I thought I would share\/divulge some personal information here on the blog so that my readers can send prayers and help me stay accountable \u2013 in an effort to get healthy in 2013, I\u2019m kickstarting my year with the Whole9 \u201cWhole30\u201d challenge<\/a>. Obviously this is not the \u201cPatheos Diet Channel\u201d, but for me there is such a strong connection between my spiritual life and the physical body God has given me that not to make the connection between healthy living and prayer would be to declare defeat before I\u2019ve even started.<\/p>\n

One of my major inspirations is my dear brother Mike, who has undergone a major lifestyle change in the last year and is blog\/coaching me at https:\/\/gowestyoungfam.wordpress.com\/<\/a> \u2013 if you feel like you need a kick in the pants to get yourself going, feel free to join me on this quest. For me, it\u2019s more about feeling healthy than a number on a scale (although I\u2019m not opposed to that<\/em>) \u2013 I want to feel my best when I turn 50 later this year! So send prayers, but no sugar, alcohol or flour\u2026 And drop me a note in the comments if you\u2019re doing something similar so that I can pray for you.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
