The Importance of Getting Rest
Rest plays a major role in our performance whether at home or at work. The Bible talks about working for six days then resting on the seventh. It even talks about vacations and sabbaticals, sorta. Don’t believe us? It’s in Leviticus 25, the Sabbath Year.
Before you run off to tell your boss and your family you’re taking an entire year off from work, take a listen to this episode. Think about the ways you can build rest into your week. Where can you slow down, even minimize your activities to spend more time doing what matters most and with who matters most?
The Keto Diet
Jerry started the ketogenic diet in March of 2019. This came after watching the documentary “The Magic Pill” on Netflix. All the education he had about carbohydrates, especially sugar, made sense.
Since starting the keto diet, Jerry has experienced a drop in 30 pounds. He’s had to buy new, smaller pants just a couple months into the diet! Most noticeable has been his boost in energy.
Listen to this episode as Jerry describes what the keto diet looks like for him.
Measure It to Make It – Success with Goals
One of the keys for success with the keto diet for Jerry has been measuring his progress with the foods he eats. It also helps him know when he is off-target and needs to make different choices with the next meal.
You can also find success in measuring your progress with your goals.
