So, Wally & I had a pretty big accomplishment yesterday...our very last "First Day of School". Can't say either of us are too sad or anything haha! I have two more classes in grad school and finishing my thesis (the never ending dreadful torture I chose to put myself through), and Wally has three classes he is in, finishing up his business minor. WOOHOO, I think this is cause for some celebration!
Another exciting event, EMPOWER NUTRITION has an official website http://www.theempowernutrition.com/! I am super pumped, go check it out, we are pretty proud of it! Tell all your friends, post it on good ole facebook, anything else that could spread the word would be much appreciated (;) thanks)! We are constantly working on it, and our bootcamp and membership are coming soon, so check back often....and be on your way to wellness & health. I thought I would share a little bit about us and how we came up with this whole gig too (this is the blog, be yourself, "raw" version... on the website we're a little more, could we say...."professional", whatever that means LOL! So here it is, from the heart...
"Ever had a dream?...We did and taadaah (ok, so we don’t really know how to spell that, but you get the point)…you’re looking at it! (http://www.theempowernutrition.com/) Welcome, look around, and enjoy! We can’t help but thank the good Lord for bringing two personalities as crazy, spontaneous, and impulsive as ours together (just ask our husbands, they have their hands full!) and now we get to work together every day! It all started in a coffee shop in Lubbock, Texas (FYI… we LOVE coffee, wherever, whenever, with whatever…and we apologize in advance if we talk about it too much, just one of those little passions in life to be thankful for…) we were supposed to be discussing the logistics of a corporate wellness program we were doing. You may learn this about us well (and maybe you can relate), we tend to get off topic rather easily, not necessarily a bad thing, just causes some random hour phone conversations here and there. Anyway, the meeting about the wellness program turned into what we wanted to do in life and what some of our dreams were (somehow, not exactly sure how we got there…) We both love all things nutrition and fitness and we love encouraging and motivating people and wanted to combine our enthusiasm for the two. Through the wellness program, talking to our clients, and other experiences, we realized two things 1) dietitians and good, evidenced-based nutrition and fitness are hard to come by; and 2) nutrition and fitness advice is often times impractical, rigid, strict, and unrealistic in the reality of busy everyday life. What’s the solution, we asked ourselves? A web-based, come-to-you company to provide simple nutrition and fitness advice, and EMPOWER people (wherever they are in their journey) to get healthy and live life abundantly. So here ya go, EMPower Nutrition, a name to encompass our goals and encompass a little of us too (E for Erin, M for Micah, clever we thought!)"
Just a few more thoughts....pray for the Texas Tech basketball team, they've had a rough start to Big 12 play, but come support them if ya can! Also, my thesis study is going through the process to be approved to actually do, so pray for my patience and perseverance, its been fairly tedious
Until next time....Wally and I have found encouragement from these verses and are working on memorizing them (Part of our New Year's resolution, more time in the Word together)....join us!
Colossians 1:9-14
"For this reason we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to ask that you may be filled with the knowledge of His will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, for all patience and longsuffering with joy; 12 giving thanks to the Father who has qualified us to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in the light. 13 He has delivered us from the power of darkness and conveyed us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, 14 in whom we have redemption through His blood,[c] the forgiveness of sins.
