I slowed up, but did not stop. Today I choose to pick it back up and get to work. My Monday started with this beauty, and she started my day off with laughter, dance, and a great workout. I'm so proud of you Queens. You beauties are pouring into you and it shows 😍
Been recovery from a sprained foot. Fell down the stairs
Ouch!!!
Hey ladies. After finishing this last LYC challenge July 4, I felt like I needed a break. I did a stretch video and my body was tired of the push. So it started with me missing half the class Monday. Tuesday, I was too tired. Wednesday I had a dr appt where they drew my blood. By Friday, I found out my iron was low and so were my folic acid levels. Thus why I was feeling tired all the time. The remedy my doc gave me? Prenatal vitamins 🤣. I haven’t taken those in 14 years 🙃. Ladies I got that burst of energy I needed after buying some OTC (over the counter) prenatals! Did 2 days straight of 2 mile walks in a local forest with my dog. Today, I got all the energy to be on that mat at 7:30! My son better hurry up and get out his workouts so I can get mine in on time!! If ya feeling sluggish, try to get a quick blood panel done or pop a prenatal and ya tell me how you feel! 🥰🤪🥳
I took before pics today and was in tears. I usually try to be a positive person, but this hit me hard.
The sad part is that I used to get paid for how I looked 25 years ago. Hormones and aging are no joke...
I'm going to release the negativity. Tears are made of salt water which is a cleansing agent. Then I'm going to keep showing up.
I accept that I may not see that 20 year old body again, but can and will do better. There's nowhere to go but up..
But... wow....
Just venting...
Happy Monday everyone! Today is my first day! Wishing everyone a wonderful and exciting week. We can do it!
So today I earned my 60classes badge and while I am happy for the consistency today I was really not feeling it. I completed 30mins with the lowest energy. maybe should have rested after work first but I will try to redeem myself with a gym walk or a live class tonight. I want to feel the excitement of earning this badge and with this low energy it feels like a dud😒
Quick Question: when Fabi says to aim to burn 300-400 cal per workout, is that active or total calories?

TO THE QUEEN WARRIORS
We are the women who did not die in the dark. We bled, we broke, we buried pieces of ourselvesbut we did not stay buried.
This is not just sweat. This is sacred war paint. These are not just weights, they are gravestones we are lifting off our chests.
We have nursed babies, buried lovers, held our tongues, clenched our fists, screamed into pillows, and walked through the fire with grace no one saw.
Some of us wore wigs in chemo chairs. Some of us prayed through fists in the night. Some of us swallowed grief in silence, and still made it to work the next day.
We’ve been told we were too soft,too old, too broken, too late - But here we are, Queens. Standing in the ruins of what tried to destroy us,building temples from the ash.
You feel that? That’s your soul remembering who God created you to be … who YOU ARE!
Your stretch marks are ancient scripts. Your scars are armor.Your thighs are thunder, your breath is battle cry. You are not “starting over.”You are reclaiming territory.
This gym? This mat? This road? This is the battlefield where you meet yourselfand say: I will not abandon you again.
So rise. You don’t need permission. You need fire. You need sweat. You need the memory of what you survivedand the vision of what you’re becoming.
Because you’re not just working out.
You’re calling yourself home. You’re sculpting the sanctuary that houses your spirit. You’re becoming the kind of strong that no one can steal.
So lift. Run. Breathe. Roar. And remember: You are the miracle you’ve been waiting for.
