Today was my first workout. I love it here! I haven’t found anything like this. I have 100lbs to lose, so pray for me ladies… I have a long journey ahead of me. I am committed to becoming and walking in my Power. Today I learned from Coach Jamila that my journey is my journey. So glad to be here. ❤️

Chasity hey girl hey! Which creatine do you take?

Accountability check in:

Today was…

I was able to diagnose my food addiction. I eat when I’m anxious or nervous. I have been doing really well with tracking my food and staying within the bounds of the diet but today I was picking little bites from the boys plates as I plated their food, took a couple snack bites from their snack time plate, opened the freezer and grabbed a couple frozen bananas covered in chocolate.. I didn’t realize what I was doing until my son said, “Mom stop eating our food. Those are my snacks” I was like shit I didn’t realize what I was doing…

My ex was coming by to say bye to the boys and get the last of his things and I was so nervous and anxious I just kept shoveling things in my mouth. It’s 100 percent like Jennifer Daniela Zoga said, food to mouth is something we can control when we feel like we don’t have any control over a situation.

Anyway, he came and I made sure to not let him through the threshold and that was that.

Had to go to the store to buy water and my car died again! Sooooo, long story short I carried the boys, baby on my chest and five year old on my back for the two mile walk home. Apparently tow trucks can’t fit more than three people in them and some ubers don’t take car seats and tow truck drivers can’t wait for you to figure out how you’re getting home and if you need the car seat or not because they have a schedule to keep… I’m not mad… I took a breath and just thought ok I been doing HIIT and legs for the last few weeks, let’s go!… I’m not doing a workout today even though I probably should… my back needs a rest. I will skip Sunday rest day and reset everything tomorrow.

I did log everything I ate and shockingly I was only 300 calories over my limit but my carbs were 50 grams over. That’s a killer. I’m hoping that walk carrying 75 pounds between the boys helped with all that.

I diagnosed the issue with the car when we got home and the radiator tube cracked in half. I ordered the parts and did a temporary repair so I’ll see if I can get it started tomorrow and I’ll shop around for an affordable mechanic.

Anyway… keep pushing queens! It’s only like 86 more days until summer and our challenge is like almost over!! We got this!

The picture is my patch job of the cracked radiator tube. Yes, that’s duck tape you see on there and yes it’s rigged mad ghetto but you know what I am saving money by doing this and this will allow me the time I need to find the right price for the job.

Oh, something nice that came of all this- My upstairs neighbors came down to chit chat and ended up getting Isaiah and Forest a little treat for “being good helpers and sticking it out with mommy” The girls upstairs gave me their number and told me to call them anytime we need a ride and even offered to help us in the morning with school. I’m telling you, when you open yourself up to god and positivity the world shifts.

*Sidenote: Electric State is not worth the 2 hrs and 8 minutes. I cut it off halfway. Movie is so bad. If you have minimal free time and plan the things you’re going to watch if you watch don’t do it

The booty is getting out of control with all these booty work outs

Such a sad and heavy heart over here, got me boo hooing like a baby and definitely going to have

PTSD over our bestie coach Raven. I wish her all the best and can’t wait to stalk her on rocfit🥹😅🥰💔💖

I don’t know about anyone else but I really love the collections and on demand QW has. For One it makes it easy for me to figure out what I’m going to do for the week. And two, I put it in my head as if it is a “challenge”. It pushes me to finish the whole 4 weeks and not miss any days. Also, I started adding in a 30 minute hiit workout before each power workout. For example if I know that day during my “challenge” I’m doing a full body power workout. I’ll do a full body hiit workout.

It would be cool if QW started doing challenges a month long. If you’re like me it makes me really push myself to workout and give it my ALL!

Do we need gym equipment for tonight’s session? 🙏🏽

My beautiful Queens, as we close a beautiful chapter with Coach Raven, my heart is full of both gratitude and reflection. For the past three years, Raven has been more than just a coach—she's been a light, a motivator, and a true embodiment of the Queen Warrior spirit. Her presence has moved this community, empowered so many of you to step into your strength, and made every class feel like a celebration of life and movement.

Transitions like these are never easy, but they are a necessary part of growth—for individuals and for the community as a whole. At Queen Warriors, we believe in celebrating our team members not only when they show up but also when it’s their time to move on. It’s a reminder that change, though sometimes uncomfortable, is essential for evolution.

Raven’s departure is a moment to pause, honor the season we’ve shared, and trust in the greater plan God has for all of us. We may not always understand the why, but we stand in faith, knowing that He is in control, guiding every transition with purpose and love.

As we move forward, the mission of Queen Warriors remains unchanged—to make health and wellness accessible to all women, to empower you through fitness, community, and faith, and to create a space where transformation goes beyond the physical. But the vision remains rooted. The goal is clear. The purpose stands strong.

So today, we celebrate Raven, we thank her for every ounce of passion she poured into this movement, and we hold space for all that’s to come. I invite you to lean in with me, stay rooted in purpose, and trust that the best is still ahead.

With much love, gratitude and faith. I love ya !

Hi Queens. Last week, during a workout, I mentioned applying for nursing school and waiting to get in. Queens prayed for me and asked for an update so here it is.. I want to thank all the queens that rooted for me and prayed because yesterday, I got the email that I got accepted!! At 38, I am going to begin my journey to becoming an LPN!

🌟Celebrating Coach Raven Cruz🌟

As I prepare to say goodbye to our amazing coach, I find myself filled with mixed emotions. It's hard to see you go, but I am genuinely thrilled for you as you embark on this exciting new chapter in your career. You are a true warrior, juggling so many responsibilities with grace—your brand, your workouts, and your beautiful family.

Thank you for your incredible energy, your uplifting words, and the laughter you brought into our lives. Your affirmations and personal testimonies have inspired ME and your transparency over the screen has made this community feel like home.

I will miss your twerking and silliness that always brightened our days! Meeting you in person is still on my bucket list, and just know, when that day comes, I’m ready to give you the biggest hug ever (and maybe shed a tear or two—be prepared!). You’ll forever be my BESTIE !!

Wishing you all the success and happiness in the world. You deserve it! 💖 Raven Cruz
