by Coach Debbie   Let’s talk about temptation with food.  We all experience the seductive power of sweet-and-salty.  We are human.  But how are we handling the lure of food?     Let’s take a peek at 1 Corinthians 10, which contains warnings for us to learn from the past…   “So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!  No temptation has seized you except what is common to man.  And God is faithful; He will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear.  But when you are tempted, He will also...

by Coach Debbie   “God has given me power over my food choices. I'm supposed to consume food. Food isn't supposed to consume me.”  Lysa TerKeurst       In our emotional eating struggle, we so easily feel out of control, don’t we?    Years ago, I was so upset that I wouldn’t be able to see my favorite DJ who happened to be in town.  I know that may sound ridiculous to you, but I am such a fan of his and couldn’t believe he was local for one night only.    Motherhood prevented us from getting tickets and...

by Coach Debbie   I've been a mom since 2004 and I'm never going to be asked to write a parenting manual.  I screw up royally just about every day.  I do things I swore I'd never do.    The TV has babysat my kids so I could nap.  I have yelled countless times.  I once told my sons they were bad kids after a family photo session.  I have tossed French fries from the front of a minivan to hungry kids that I just couldn't possible cook for.  I have threatened consequences only to later be too lazy to...

by Coach Debbie   Most people think that the longer you workout, the more effective the workout.   We tell ourselves more equals better.  More minutes each day, more minutes each week.  Surely that will fast-forward results and deliver a dream body, right?   False.   The truth is, if you want results from exercise, work harder and give it your all, but go for LESS time!     In our Momsanity Sisterhood workouts, THIS is our primary focus: short yet effective workouts!  Our workouts result in an accelerated metabolic afterburn, which means you’ll be burning fat around the clock!  For...
