A Catholic Health and Faith Coach on a mission to help others lose 30+ lbs and fully live out their vocation. I created the Temple Builder Method to integrate a deeper faith with vocational fitness As seen on Real Presence Radio I also am married to my lovely wife can’t wait to raise children. My full time job is a safety professional in the USAF Hobbies outside of work are: video games, fitness, hiking, jeeping, and I’m a huge Star Wars enthusiast!
Nutrition the backbone of faith and fitness
We know that our spiritual nutrition would be lacking if we didn’t consume the Eucharist regularly and, in fact, our spiritual lives would be better if we received God more often. The same principle applies to our health. If we only eat the foods that are best for us a couple times a week or less, why are we surprised we aren’t as healthy as we would like to be? I will admit spiritual nutrition is easier in a sense, all that we need is present in the Eucharist. But we still should prepare, receive, and give thanks (literally the meaning of Eucharist). We should follow the same steps with our meals, prepare for them, plan when we will eat and what we will have. Receive them and be present, try not to eat distracted or in a hurry. And lastly give thanks for what you are able to eat, even if it’s not the most delicious meal, if it helps you grow in health and is full of good nutrients, that’s a blessing! What’s one way you can practice these steps with your meals this coming week?
Do you truly rest or are you always pushing?
God calls us to rest in Him and have peace, but many of us don’t think that applies to fitness.. It does. “You’re never overtraining, you’re under resting” Maybe you’ve heard that before and thought it’s something people say when they take their workout seriously. But in my coaching experience, rest controls your results if you’re consistent in your workouts and nutrition. I know you have a solid workout routine, but do you schedule your rest? Are you disciplined in getting enough sleep? Do you take time to truly sit with Our Lord, or are you always on the go? If so, try to be more of a Mary this weekend and less of a Martha.
How does your current goal support your vocation?
Motivation Monday 💪🏼
What keeps you training even when you don’t want to? For me, I love the image of being a temple of the Holy Spirit, just like a cathedral, there are always things to attend to and care for in our bodies! Knowing that God gave me a functioning body and athletic ability I try really hard not to waste the blessing I have been given and that helps keep me going. Some might not care for it but integrating faith and fitness has been a real mindset shift for me in how I use my body. 🔥
Hyrox
