Yep, my challenges don't stop for the holidays.. you know why?
Because stress, temptations & excuses don't either. #truthbomb
.
The question is >> are you planning to skate through the rest of November & December because everyone else is.. avoiding routine, side stepping accountability, indulging (although not free of guilt), feeling icky in front of the mirror & uncomfy in your tight pants?🙅
.
Yikes.. I've been there before.. trust me.
But the good news is, you don't have to, gals!
.
Surprise surprise.. Y O U can join a group of other holiday warriors who are going to enjoy Christmas festivities while still following a routine that allows for flexibility during travel & options with nutrition. We're not striving for perfection, but we ARE striving to maintain balance.. of our mind, body & spirit during a wonderful time of year that typically induces chaos.
.
So - I'm doing something special next month.
21 Days of FITMAS 🌲
.
This women-only group will kick off on December 2nd & finish JUST in time to unplug Christmas Eve + Day with your loved ones. Perfect timing, right?
.
We're using home (& mobile) workouts // we're part of a private, online group // we're drinking daily superfoods to help with digestion, cravings & energy // we're following customizable meal plans // & raffling off weekly prizes.
.
What's required to join? All you need to do is choose a Beachbody program & shakeology flavor {your challenge bundle}, which is discounted & is your enrollment ticket into this private group.
.
There's not much time left to join us - so email {lindseykollar@yahoo.com} or message me soon to complete your application & snag your spot. RSVP deadline is 11/25.. accepting 3 new participants, gals.
.
Don't skip out & wish you had in a couple weeks. Let this be your gift to yourself this year! Nothing better to invest in then your physical, mental & even emotional health.
I officially restarted Core De Force today (after a whole week of workouts) because I was invited to take part in a launch group of nearly 150 women for the next 30 days!!
When I had this kind of accountability back in January/February as a member of the official Hard Corps test group - I was able to stay completely on track & maintain a high level of motivation.
There's something about knowing your results & experience are going to be part of what ignites change in the lives of many other women.
So here's to this fun adventure!!
Opening a group with a few of the other participants next week to share our journey & experience with anyone else who wants to join us. If you'd like more info, email me at lindseykollar@yahoo.com .
💡Ever feel like getting healthy should be simple, but getting started seems so hard?
💡Or maybe you feel like you don't have the time or energy to make radical changes to get the results you crave to feel & see?
💡Are you anxious to start something new leading up to the holidays, but nervous at the same time if you don't because you know how you might pay for it when the New Year rolls around?
I've got good news.
It doesn't have to be hard or over-complicated.
You don't have to do this alone.
And you ARE capable of living healthy through the holidays.

Trim about 1 inch off broccoli stems and discard. Slice the broccoli stalks in half lengthwise to have 4 pieces total.
Place the broccoli and the garlic cloves on a 9-by-13-inch baking pan and drizzle both sides of the broccoli florets and stems with olive oil. Season both sides with salt and roast cut side up about 10 minutes, until the broccoli is browned on the bottom. Turn the broccoli and garlic and roast an additional 10 minutes until tender and browned and crisp.
Top with marinara sauce and mozzarella. Return to the oven and bake until hot and the cheese is melted, about 10 minutes.
Holidays are coming. Family gatherings. Pumpkin everything. Travel galore. Company in town. Edible temptation. Work is nuts. Kids have projects due. The list goes on.
You know what happens when us women get busy?
- We usually put ourselves on the back burner -
You know what happens when our routine gets disrupted?
- We abandon daily activities because the thought of adjusting is too much -
You know what happens when we're stressed or overwhelmed?
- We turn to food or wine & forget about balance -
Ever feel that way this time of year?
I know I have.
And I bet you have too.
This is the time of year that people can gain an extra 3-5 pounds {sometimes more}.. and that's on TOP of whatever happened earlier in the year. YIKES.
What IF..... What if this year you didn't gain weight?
What if you gained self confidence, control, empowerment, strength & community instead?
You CAN exercise 5 days a week, drink superfoods & eat healthy as we approach the holidays despite all the excuses.
The question is.. WILL you?
Starting November 7, I'm launching my November Fit Club for women only who are looking to do just this & are willing to:
Pick a program that fits your goals & schedule.
Follow a meal plan you can customize that isn't confusing.
Drink superfoods of your flavor choice to help your gut health.
Log daily activity & stay accountable for 3 weeks.
If you're willing to do what others won't, you WILL accomplish what others can't.
But it starts with a d e c i s i o n every single morning to give your all. And three weeks later, you'll wake up realizing you just created habits to last you the season + beyond!
Can I encourage you today? Or maybe blow your mind a little?
My God.. He's a good God.
He brings what was dead to LIFE.
He extends HOPE to that which was lost.
He FORGIVES those condemned.
He turns sorrow to JOY.
He creates beauty from ASHES.
He turns our mess into a MESSAGE.
He turns our pain into PURPOSE.
He allows our tests of life to be a TESTIMONY.
Rejoice, my friends <3 span="">
Our little Ghoens family has been working through some trials, testing & hurts the past couple of months. While it's been an incredibly hard season of life, it's been a time in life that I've felt so incredibly close to the Lord.
Those days I feel alone or broken, it's like He continually pulls me into His lap of comfort & whispers His promises to me.
You see.
Even though we feel alone sometimes..
It's because we aren't looking to acknowledge His presence - we only look to place blame or focus on what we cannot understand.
He never left us. He never stopped caring. He wrote our story so long ago. Our "shocking" life moments don't surprise Him. He's equipped perfectly to love, guide & teach us though it -- if we ACCEPT it.
One day, probably soon, I'll share publicly about this journey. Although I'm AMAZED at how God is already working to allow me to minister to other women & families by laying it on THEIR hearts to reach out.
In the mean time, dears - take some time to recognize His incredible attributes & what they could mean for your life.
I am a child of the King.. a King who is a good GOOD Father!
