Hey, fit friends! We're kicking off a fun 12-month series called Twelve Helpful Tips for Nutrition and Fitness, and I think you’re gonna love it!

There’s so much health advice out there, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. But no worries—I’ve got your back! Every month, I’ll share a new tip to help you crush your wellness goals. Ready for your first one?

Stay Hydrated
Whether you’re hitting spin class, boot camp, or any workout, staying hydrated is key to keeping your energy up. But don’t just grab any drink—some sports drinks are packed with extra calories. Usually, water does the trick unless you’re exercising hard for over an hour.

If you’re going long and intense, healthier drinks can help replenish minerals and electrolytes. There are even lower-calorie options if you want flavor without the extra calories. One I love is Juice Plus Luminate—it’s got adaptogens, nootropics, and natural caffeine. Want to know more? Just ask, and I’ll send you the deets!

Hebrews 12:1–2 (NIV)
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before Him He endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”

The year ahead is a race of faith—not a sprint, but a journey of endurance. Hebrews calls us to fix our eyes on Jesus, our King, who began our faith and will carry it through. When we focus on Him, we find strength to keep going.

Ask yourself: What might distract me this year? Choose to intentionally look to Jesus when life feels heavy or busy.

Prayer:
Lord, help me run this race with endurance. Keep my eyes fixed on You in every season. Amen.

This slow cooker apple BBQ chicken will become one of your favorite go-to meals because it’s super hearty, full of flavor, and basically cooks itself.

As it slow cooks, the apples break down and blend into the sauce, giving it this awesome sweet and savory vibe that’s hard to beat. The chicken turns out tender, juicy, and shredded perfectly with just the right mix of tangy, smoky, and a little sweet.

Why you'll be obsessed with this recipe:
- So easy: Just 10 minutes prep, then let the slow cooker do its thing.
- Feeds a crowd: Makes plenty for family dinners, hangouts, or game day.
- Great for meal prep: Leftovers taste even better the next day, perfect for lunches.
- Super versatile: Tastes awesome on buns with slaw, with roasted veggies, stuffed in sweet potatoes, over rice, or tossed in a salad.
- Kid-approved: The smoky BBQ with a touch of sweetness is a total hit with both kids and adults!

Enjoy!
