Hope you ladies are having a beautiful day so far, it’s almost the weekend!
Just checking in for accountability today:
This morning I did 30 minutes on that crazy elliptical- it felt harder and my legs were sooo sore. So I ended up doing two rounds of Strength Unleashed with Coach Sammi because I just could not do all 3. It wasn’t hard per se it’s more that my legs were crying. Especially my thighs.
I’m also treating this week as a test or intro and I’ll be redoing week one next week.
My breakfast today is the Quiona porridge I had yesterday with no peanut butter and I added a 1/2 cup of chickpeas for additional protein. It is sooo hard to get protein when you are eating Vegan and you can’t have soy 😢. I’m going to keep trying before I go back to animal proteins because eating this way helps decrease/eliminate inflammation and some of the health symptoms I have been experiencing.
Anyway stay strong ladies, you got this!

I didn’t take a selfie of myself today because I was at the gym but I did my workout and it was sooo hard.
I’m following the Strength Unleashed program with Sammi and I did day one yesterday but my legs were too sore for day 2 today which was lower body so I did a 30 minute session on an elliptical.
Yall. This elliptical was from hell! I noticed immediately that the pedals felt really heavy - it was level 1! Each movement took so much effort- this was NOT my usual experience with the elliptical. I had been planning to do a short leisure walk in the park this morning but I could barely get up the three flights of stairs it took to get to my car! The calorie burn count listed also feels too low - it was like lifting weights on my legs with each move.
Anyway I decided to take before photos this morning because of two things- 1 I’m finally feeling ready to lose this weight especially my FUPA. And two - in gong to conquer that machine. Period. Between that machine and Queen Warrior workouts I am going to achieve my goals.
I can’t believe I’m sharing these pics - I see how far I really let myself go but I am doing this for accountability. I don’t ever want to look like this again.
Stats: 154lbs goal weight 130-135lbs height 5’3”

Queens, let’s talk about something most of us overlook when trying to lose fat, balance hormones, or boost energy……sleep.
Because when your sleep suffers… your cortisol (your stress hormone) stays high and that single shift can throw everything off.
Here’s what happens 👇
✨ When you don’t sleep enough, your body stays in “fight or flight.”
✨ Cortisol stays elevated all night, blocking melatonin (the hormone that helps you rest and recover).
✨ The next day, you wake up tired, crave sugar, and your body holds on to fat especially around your midsection.
But when you start protecting your rest… everything changes:
🌙 Cortisol drops naturally at night.
🌙 Your body repairs, digests, and restores hormones.
🌙 You wake up calmer, lighter, more in tune with your energy.
Sleep isn’t just rest it’s hormonal alignment.
Your body doesn’t need punishment; it needs peace.
Tonight, make a promise to yourself:
✨ Turn off your phone 1 hour before bed.
✨ Breathe. Stretch. Pray. Journal.
✨ Give your body the safety it’s been asking for.
Because when a woman starts sleeping like a Queen…
Her energy, body, and confidence rise like one too!!

MONDAY MADNESS!
You know we HAVE to start off the week like a true Queen Warrior! See you at 7:30pm for a 30 minutes of HIIT (no equipment needed), followed by a 30 minute Booty Blaster Session. Now, I don’t have a costume for you today - but there may be a few tricks up my sleeve! 😏

Breakfast!
Quinoa porridge- it’s similar to Jamaican cornmeal porridge.
Recipe
1 cup cooked plain quinoa
1 cup almond milk
Heat and stir
Then out into a blender with vanilla extract, almond extract if you have it, 1 tbsp of peanut butter, Ceylon cinnamon and a small banana Blend till smooth.
Top with fruit of your preference- I chose 2. strawberries and a 1/4 blueberries.
You could add egg whites or turkey sausage for more protein.

Hey y'all! Here's my most recent before and after shots. I don't currently know my weight because I rather focus more on my health than a number. However, I am feeling alot better so far.
Hip pain has left. I have less frequent headaches. I feel more energized compared to how I was a few months ago. I don't fit some of my clothing now lol but I don't mind🤷♀️😂 lol I am grateful for how far I have come and I am hopeful for more progress along the way😊🌸

Hi Queens just saw this post tonight 🤭. I am always hiding 🫣 from the public not because of my weight but from once upon a time experiencing my ex husbands fans stalking us he was a heavy metal drummer in the 1990s -2000s. Fans would be everywhere we went and this was before social media. Then after my divorce I photographed 6 books for a famous crafter who also had stalkers. Guess, I am done hiding from the public now with Queen Warriors.
I am proud that I went through menopause without medication and managed to look the way I wanted to again all thanks to QWtv. Thank you over and over Fabiana, coaches and Queens because you really make this community amazing even if I don’t know you personally I know you through our posts and when we do the lives or challenges. ♥️
This week I haven’t been around, my Mom hasn’t been well and yesterday I took her to the ER and they admitted her. Am staying in the hospital with her and prior to that was staying at her house until midnight trying to help her.
She lives with chronic pain and deals with high blood pressure. I believe her life style has been the cause but she’s almost 80 and never listened to my advice, now here we are.
Take care Queens what we eat and how we treat our bodies will catch up with us in life.
I will get back to working out as soon as I am home again. I am getting a lot of steps in walking all over the hospital and am eating somewhat healthy when I can because hospital cafeteria food isn’t that great but they have soups.
