Week 7, Lesson 1 Bible Study:

Everyday Fit Physical Challenge:

Beginner Level: Today make it your goal to walk for 45 minutes or 2 miles. Walk at a pace that you are comfortable with and that you are still able to carry on a conversation. As always, check with your doctor before beginning any physical workout to be sure you are up for the challenge! For more information please read the following article on how to begin a walking program: Walking Program. As an alternate workout, try riding your bike for five miles. If you are fortunate enough to live by a bike trail, ride on that for your exercise this week. I live close to the Monon Trail and enjoy mixing up my workouts by riding several miles on the trail. I find it helps to have a destination in mind. One of my favorite things to do is to ride the the tea shop and have a cup of tea before I head back home.

Experienced Level: Today make it your goal to jog fro 3 miles or ride your bike for 10 miles. Jog or ride at a pace you are comfortable with and that your are able to carry on a conversation. By the end of your walk/ride you should be sweaty and tired but not exhausted. As always, check with your doctor before beginning any physical workout to be sure you are up for the challenge! Let’s join Coach Dan for a quick intense focused workout!

Rainy Day? No worries! Join Leslie Sansone for a great indoor workout!

Everyday Fit Food Challenge:

Fresh Food

Today we want to look at the importance of eating organic when possible. I know organic food is more expensive, so it takes a bit of planning. Mary and I try to purchase meat and as many fruits and veggies that are organic as possible. If you need to make choices because of budget, please look at this resource: Dirty Dozen and Clean 15 by the Environmental Working Group. Each year they put out a list of the “dirtiest” and cleanest produce foods. Obviously, the ones to buy organic would be the ones on the dirty list because they are the most full of pesticides/contaminants.

Gardening

Another way to reduce expenses is to plant some of your own food. Over the years, I’ve planted all types of gardens, and you don’t need a huge plot to grow your own veggies. If you don’t have the time or any ground to plant in, a container garden is a perfect choice. You can plant all kinds of vegetables in containers that sit on a patio or deck. This article from Better Homes and Gardens Growing Vegetables in Containers has some wonderful tips and ideas.

For the last two years, I (Jane) have used Mel Bartholomew’s Square Foot Gardening method. I’ve ditched my terrible clay soil and have had good success with his methods. I’ve included a picture from one of my square-foot gardens. I have three of these in my yard and am amazed at how much they produce. I know I talked about gardening previously in Faith & Fit, but if you don’t currently have a garden plot, fall is actually a great time to build this garden and have it ready for spring planting.

Green Juicing

I am also a fan of green juicing. I have an Omega Big Mouth juicer, and it really helps me to get my veggies in for the day when I juice them. It’s important to use organic produce when you’re juicing. Here is one of my favorite recipes:

Jane’s Green Juice

1 large green leaf (Swiss chard, kale, romaine lettuce)

handful of small spinach leaves

4 or 5 sprigs of parsley

thumb-size piece of fresh ginger, peeled (if you like it)

2 carrots

1/2 cucumber

2 stalks celery

1/2 green apple

inch wide or so slice of lemon

Put the spinach, parsley, and ginger on the large green leaf and roll it up. Push it through the feeder. Immediately follow with the other ingredients. Drink right away. Green juices do not keep.

You’ll still want to eat some veggies so that you’re taking in the fiber you need each day. I like to drink my green juice for lunch and eat a salad with it.

 Recommended Reading: Whole Foods website

Our suggested reading this week is actually a website: The Whole Foods website has a wealth of information and resources for you. From recipes and handy charts to a healthy pantry makeover and cooking videos, there’s something for everybody. I (Jane) actually won a Whole Foods $25 gift card when I submitted a shopping tip via their website two years ago. Be sure to check out their site.

Make Three Meals

Today for Make Three Meals, we’d like you to take the time to eat three healthy meals, and it’s even better if you can sit down with your family for those meals, like we talked about in Week 4. Whether we’re busy with work or home duties, too many Americans tend to skip meals and eat haphazardly. When I was in Europe many years ago, meal time was a thing to be celebrated and enjoyed with family and friends. If you enjoy cooking and want to take some time to prepare the meal, that’s wonderful.

Water Week:

Today we want to be aware of how much water we are drinking. If you’re like me, it’s easy to get lost in your day and forget to take a water break as the hours pass by. However, we all know how important drinking water is. Every system in our body depends on water. According to this excellent article by the Mayo Clinic, Water: How Much Should You Drink Every Day? everyone’s needs for water differ. “You may need to modify your total fluid intake depending on how active you are, the climate you live in, your health status, and if you’re pregnant or breast-feeding,” states the article.

Mary is very good about getting her water in each day. She packs a large water bottle for school every morning and makes sure she finishes it by the end of the day. Do you have any tips to share that help you remember to keep yourself hydrated? Please share them on our Facebook page or at the bottom of this post.

Here is my tip: I love to add a slice of lemon to my water. It makes it seem extra refreshing. In addition to that, in the summer I snip a few sprigs of mint from my herb plants and add them to my water. Mint really gives the water a zing. Here are some fun Pinterest water recipes that I can’t wait to try.

                      Week 1, Lesson 1 Bible Study

Everyday Fit Physical Challenge:

Week 1, Lesson 1

This week we are going to focus on a simple exercise that almost everyone can do: walking. You can choose to walk indoors or outdoors. Weather permitting, my preference is to be outdoors enjoying the fresh air and sunshine (get that Vitamin D!). We will also give you options to supplement with some other types of exercise in Extra Fit for those who would like to.
If you prefer to walk indoors, you can use a treadmill, or I would recommend Leslie Sansone’s Walking DVDs. Her DVDs are available for purchase in stores like Target and Walmart, on her website,on YouTube, for live streaming on Walk TV , and some for free on her site when you sign up (free) for her Walk Social Club.

One fun way to track your walking is to use a pedometer and aim for a certain number of steps per day. The American Heart Association recommends 10,000 steps each day. We will work up to that. Ten thousand steps is approximately 5 miles, but that is based on an average stride being 2.5 feet. Your total may differ from that based on the length of your stride.

Pedometers can be found in just about any sports or discount store and range in price from about $10 to $125 for more elaborate ones with additional features. I use a Fitbit to track my steps each day. It also tracks flights of stairs climbed, calories burned, miles walked, hours slept, and the time. In addition, it allows me to set a silent, vibrating alarm. It syncs with the Fitbit website, which includes many more features.

Basic Walking Guidelines

Begin your walk with a warm-up. This means to start walking slowly for a few minutes, giving your body time to warm up. Save any stretching for the end of your walk, as you should not stretch cold muscles. If you have body parts that are very tense and need to be stretched before your main walk, do your warm-up first and then stretch them. You should also still follow your walk with a stretch at the end.

The Walking Site has some wonderful stretches for walkers, and here is a link to their stretching page.
As you are walking, walk tall, pull in your stomach, and tighten your bottom.
When you have finished your exercise for the day, be sure to let the Faith and Fit group know by posting on our Facebook page. Great job!

Beginner Level Exercise:

For Lesson 1, we are going to set the goal of walking 1/2 mile or the rough equivalent of 1000 steps. If you wear a pedometer all day long, this is in addition to the total that is already showing on your pedometer. So, when it is time to log your walk, check your pedometer and note how many steps/miles you have already walked that day. Add 1000 steps or 1/2 mile to that total and begin walking. When you get to that total you may stop. If you are fairly fit and would rather choose the goal of one mile, then aim for 2000 steps on your pedometer or another 1 mile on the total. As always, check with your doctor before beginning any physical workout to be sure you are up for the challenge!

Experienced Level: 

This week make it your goal to walk  for 45 minutes or jog for 30 minutes. Walk/jog at a pace you are comfortable with and that you’re able to carry on a conversation. By the end of your walk/jog you should be sweaty and tired but not exhausted. As always, check with your doctor before beginning any physical workout to be sure you are up for the challenge!

Everyday Fit Food Challenge:

Simple Sustenance

For this week’s challenge, we would like to focus on keeping our food choices with as few ingredients as possible. Consequently, we would like you to avoid boxed mixes and fast foods that are usually laden with ingredients whose names we don’t recognize and can’t pronounce. What would make for good meals today? Here are a few suggestions.

Breakfast:  Oatmeal (not instant) that we cook on the stove or in the slow cooker. Click on this Pinterest Link for several slow cooker oatmeal recipes. Or how about some scrambled eggs? If you have any fresh chives from your herb garden, sprinkle on top.  They are so easy to grow and add a wonderful oniony flavor.

Lunch: One option would be a lovely salad made with your favorite lettuce and vegetables. Mine would include tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, sunflower seeds, red pepper, and sprouts. Add a bit of chicken for some protein.

Dinner: A simple dinner could be grilled chicken or fish. If grilling isn’t your thing, lightly saute it in about 2 tsps. of olive oil and add your favorite herbs. I like thyme, rosemary, and garlic for chicken and dill, garlic,  and a drizzle of fresh lemon juice for the fish. Add a vegetable such as steamed or lightly sauteed green beans and a red potato.

Recommended Reading

These are extra resources not a have-to in the program, but feel free to share what you’re learning in the comment section or on the Faith & Fit Facebook page. We’d also love to hear what you’re reading too. Today we’re recommending the book called The Seven Pillars of Health by Don Colbert, M.D.

Sans Sugar

Today we are looking at leaving refined sugar out of our diet. Studies are showing that sugar may be the springboard for inflammation and many of the chronic diseases that are plaguing our generation. Sugar is also a sneaky substance and is in many foods that you may not even realize. Become a food label reader. Realize that sugar has many other names. We are not expecting that you give up sugar for the rest of your life. The purpose of this challenge is to develop healthy habits and choices, not deny ourselves every one of our favorite foods. If you reduce the amount of sugar you eat, you will most likely improve your health.

Check out this resource for information on cutting out sugar.

Here’s a healthy sweet treat sans sugar:

Today we are recommending The Grain Brain: The Surprising Truth About Wheat, Carbs, and Sugar – Your Brain’s Silent Killers by Dr. David Perlmutter. Mary heard Dr. Pearlmutter on PBS and told me about him. This book outlines what they believe to be the cause of many of our modern diseases, including Alzheimer’s. Incredible, cutting-edge information. The Grain Brain Cookbook was just released last week. *Here is a CBD link to the cookbook:

Extra Faith:

Today’s food challenge is Sans Sugar, but that doesn’t translate so well to spiritual goals, does it? God surely doesn’t want us to give up the sweetness in our personalities. As a matter of fact, God emphasizes that we have a gentle, quiet spirit or, as I’m fond of saying about a beloved friend of mine, “She has a sweet spirit, doesn’t she?”

Well, developing that gentle, quiet spirit can be a challenge to those of us who just aren’t that way naturally. I’ve found an article written by Erin Davis interviewing Nance Leigh DeMoss discussing this very topic: Do I Have a Gentle and Quiet Spirit?

This summer I became interested in Nordic pole walking and I bought a set of poles to learn how to do this. I LOVE it! Nordic walking adds an upper body workout dimension to a walk and increases the aerobic workout. I purchased my poles at an outfitters.

So, when it is time to log your walk, check your pedometer and note how many steps/miles you have already walked that day. Add 4000 steps or 2 miles to that total and begin walking. When you get to that total you may stop. How have you done for the past two weeks? I’d like to encourage you to keep you your walking. You’ve had a great start, now keep going!

For those of you who would like to take this to the next level, have you considered walking a 5K? I (Jane) haven’t done this yet, but I would like to.  The even better news is that with the 2 weeks of work we have done on Faith & Fit, you’re probably ready to start at Week 3 of this program!
