Good evening, queens! I am new here, just signed up and sorting my account. Just wanted to say "hello!"
I am a Latin mom of 3. The last 10yrs have been really hard for me to lose my fupa, and tone up. I've become lazy!
I have decided to take the plunge and start taking care of me - after 26yrs of raising my children (26m, 22m & 15f) and husband š¤ I decided 2025 is the year of Me!
Thank you all in advance for your support!
Hi Queens! I really wanted take out today but came home and made a hamburger sandwich instead.
Hope youāre all doing great! š„¬š š„š„Ŗ
Helllooooo there Queensā¦. Omggg anybody else fighting ALLERGIES like they the enemy trying to take you down ? š³ Like Florida whats good?
I have not had allergies like this.. im talking about āim coming in the name of Jesusā and its allergy meds !! Boy o Boy but God is good ALLL the TIME.
Either way happy Thursday . Hope you are feeling empowered, feeling motivated, most importantly BLESSED !! Everyday that we wake up is a true blessing. Queens, in the middle of all the doing, striving, and pushing forwardādonāt forget to pause. šæ Life is beautiful, but sometimes we move so fast that we miss the magic happening in the little moments.
Take time to slow down, breathe deeply, and ground yourself.
āØ Sit in stillness.
āØ Meditate.
āØ Journal your thoughts, your gratitude, your dreams.
āØ Show yourself the love you so freely give to others.
Self-care isnāt a luxuryāitās a necessity. And itās in those quiet moments that your soul finds strength, your heart finds clarity, and your purpose becomes louder. š
You are more than your to-do list. You are a light. A warrior. A masterpiece in progress.
Take care of her. She deserves it.

Back to work I go see yall later tonight for power!
Happy almost the weekend Queens!! š I hope everyone has had a productive week so far!!
I am here to vent, release, be vulnerable...not really sure but I'm here.Ā The past few weeks have been really challenging for me.Ā I have had 2 friends pass away unexpectedly back to back and it has been really difficult to stay focused, positive or motivated.Ā I feel that I had just gotten in a routine that I could make work with my schedule and the news of my friends passing away has devastated me and thrown me off my purpose.Ā
Im a single mom (my daughter is a teenager) that works 2 full time jobs and finding time for ME has been a struggle. Ive been working nonstop for the past 3-4 years and neglected taking care of me. I didnt make time for self care.Ā Eventually, I got in the place where I felt I needed to do something to take care of myself, get back to feeling good in my own skin and getting back to looking in the mirror and seeing "that girl".Ā Ā
I joined Queen Warriors in September of last year and did the 16 week Recomp Program.Ā I was so excited and eager to learn and must say, I did just that!Ā I learned what to eat, how to intentionally eat, how much to eat, how to workout and what I needed to do to build muscle, tone and drop the 10-15pounds I had hoped for.Ā I dropped 10 pounds within the first couple fo weeks.Ā Ā Then towards the end, the excitement kind of went away and although I was still eating correctly, I wasnt as on point as I was.Ā I didnt gain any of the weight back...I just remained the same. After the 16 weeks was over I signed for the program (now 12 weeks) again. Although the program changed a bit, I continued to use the numbers (calorie & protein intake and active calories)Ā Fabi had given me for the 16 week program.Ā I am now about halfway through that and have not lost or gained 1 pound.Ā Its like I have plateaued and am just remaining at the same numbers.Ā Ā
I joined the LYC challenge hoping it would give me that extra push or "uumph" I needed to kick start these numbers moving again.Ā I do the workouts, I walk 10K steps everyday including a 2 mile walk with my dog everyday. All while working 2 full time jobs and sometimes my work days are 12 hours long.Ā Ā
Now that I finally feel like I have managed a schedule to include myself and my workouts, I feel "stuck".Ā Ā I think I just have a lot going on mentally that its draining me physically. I just want the excitement that I had previously to come back.Ā I have faith that it will and the end of the day, I know I got this. I trust God. I trust the Universe. I trust myself.Ā I need to hold myself accountable and put in 100%.Ā
I hear Fabiana's voice in my head and her always reminding us to be 1% better than yesterday!Ā I am grateful for her, all the coaches here (Raven, I already miss you) and all the Queens in this community!Ā I feel its a safe space and is why I am here releasing in hopes that is what I needed to get back on my š©!
Thank you for providing that safe space Queens!! šš
I send love and light to any Queen who needs it! šāØš

Does anyone know when Ravens last live is gonna be available?
Queens, thereās 86 days until the start of summer!! I started my journey at 218.7 lbs in December. Started my QW journey 2 weeks ago and now Iām down to 200.5. Goal weight is 180-190. Iām 5ā6ā. We got this!! Letās goooo!
Today was my first workout. I love it here! I havenāt found anything like this. I have 100lbs to lose, so pray for me ladiesā¦ 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. ā¤ļø
Accountability check in:
Today wasā¦
I was able to diagnose my food addiction. I eat when Iām 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 didnāt realize what I was doing until my son said, āMom stop eating our food. Those are my snacksā I was like shit I didnāt realize what I was doingā¦
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. Itās 100 percent like Jennifer Daniela Zoga said, food to mouth is something we can control when we feel like we donāt 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 canāt fit more than three people in them and some ubers donāt take car seats and tow truck drivers canāt wait for you to figure out how youāre getting home and if you need the car seat or not because they have a schedule to keepā¦ Iām not madā¦ I took a breath and just thought ok I been doing HIIT and legs for the last few weeks, letās go!ā¦ Iām not doing a workout today even though I probably shouldā¦ 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. Thatās a killer. Iām 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 Iāll see if I can get it started tomorrow and Iāll shop around for an affordable mechanic.
Anywayā¦ keep pushing queens! Itās 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, thatās duck tape you see on there and yes itās 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 ābeing good helpers and sticking it out with mommyā 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. Iām 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 youāre going to watch if you watch donāt do it
