Accountability check in -

Enjoyed the Monday check in via zoom with Fabiana

I was able to get in 40 minutes on the treadmill - 30 minutes of a light jog and a ten minute cool down.

I joined the live today and the conversation was very uplifting. I wasn’t really able to get a good workout in because of too many distractions with the boys so I’ll circle back and start from the beginning once I get them to bed.

Today was good. Mellow. Stuck with it.

*Circled back and completed week 2 day 1 once the boys were asleep. Ready for this week. Let’s go!

Accountability check in:

Today was wild. Took the boys grocery shopping and when we got back to the car it wouldn’t start. It’s always something when you’re on a budget, a time crunch and just trying to be on top of your game! Got a tow truck to come out and I’m glad it was a simple fix but we will have to budget a little tighter for the rest of the month and that’s ok.

My son said, “Great, guess we living in here again.” I was like damn… usually a comment like that would break my mental and I would just be depressed and heartbroken that my boys have been through so much at such a young age BUT I shifted and was like nope we have a home, we have a car, we have groceries in the trunk and after our little visit from the tow truck man we keeping it moving back to the house to meal prep and get ready for our week!

We got home safely and enjoyed the evening. Made a little dinner and watched a movie.

When the boys got to bed I did my lil workout and let me tell you between Fabiana booty blaster courses and Raven’s upper body workout I was dead on the floor. I mixed it up to get my full hour in by doing two 30 minute replays and the ten minute booty blaster course week 2 day 1. For me, on days when I feel like I’m tired or like not motivated I find it’s easier to keep the workout going if I mix it up a little bit. On days like this one full hour of the same class seems daunting. Couldn’t tell you why my mind feels that but it doesn’t matter as long as the hour gets done.

I put on ravens dance workout but for some reason, even though it was just me in the living room, I was too shy to do it!! I’ll get there though.

Excited to spend some time with Jennifer and Alexis tomorrow. Got to get my mind right if I want to get this body tight, ya heard me!!

Accountability check in:

I completed Day 4 of the booty blaster course with Fabiana and had to revisit Coach Jamila live from yesterday. That upper body workout was too good. I worked until the thirty minute mark then I jumped into a thirty minute beginner workout with Coach Jamila. I am pushing for 6 days this weeks and my rest day will be spent with Jennifer or Alexis.

Let’s go Queens!!!

**I have to get back to the accountability posts. I will continue to check in daily and let you guys know that I’ve worked out today. When I posted every day for thirty days it gave me a reason, more than just myself, to keep pushing.

So, I’m participating in the #LYC but I am going to continue showing up for workouts beyond the 3-4 a week.

Right now for my own mental health I realize I need to check in and workout with Queen Warriors daily. 5-6 days a week working out and on my rest day I will spend the hour I would of worked out with Coach Alexis and Jennifer Daniela Zoga

I have to utilize the tools I have been given through Queen Warriors and I WILL BE UNSTOPPABLE!!!

I have to remember I am here for ME I am here for my BOYS!

Comparison is a thief of joy. My journey is mine

I ran home a little early from work because I wanted to experience a live session and even though I showed up late I was able to catch a little bit of Coach Alexis speak on menopause.. I will watch the replay when I hop in bed and while I was cooking dinner for my boys I joined Coach Jamila first live back from postpartum! I dipped in when I could and I circled back to complete the workout *I started from the beginning. No cutting corners* once I got the boys to bed. I even squeezed in a ten minute booty blaster course with Fabiana and mindset coaching with Jennifer Daniela Zoga

I refused to have a repeat of yesterdays sad girl vibes so I fully immersed myself today. Reading your responses, my fellow queens, really helped get me there today! Thank you again for all of the love and support and I am so thankful for this space and community!!! Oh, lastly I stuck to the diet and logged my food!

God really puts what’s needed in your path! This community and our coaches… just thank you. 🙏

I am trying my hardest but I feel lost, overwhelmed, confused. I don’t even know where to begin… I’m turning to my Queens for support. 🙏

**I realize that a huge part of my struggles in life are is inability to communicate or clearly express my feelings.

The comment above wasn’t having to do with QW or the app. I have full confidence in my abilities to navigate the app as well as diving into the workouts.

I was speaking on more a personal level. Internal struggles with motherhood, parenting and not know what is the right choice when the choices you are faced with are not ideal.

I do appreciate all of the love that I received and I feel a little more hopeful knowing that if I ever needed it the women in this community would step up and offer the emotional support I need! Thank you Queens!

*My body is just… well, it needs a lot of work but that’s why I’m here and I’m not going to give up on myself yet!

I was sick for a few days, hit hard by the flu. After a couple days of rest and recovery I took a free two week personal training introduction through my work. It was two sessions each week. I honestly felt like I get more out of the QW workouts but I’m thankful I did it. I am still dropping pounds and took Fabiana advice and shifted more to strength training to focus on toning so I don’t have the flab. I’m concerned for my arms - any advice? They are massive and seems like they just aren’t showing progress.

My workout today was a replay full body hour session with Raven Cruz .. I was a starfish but definitely not a sexy starfish. Just a dead starfish 😅

My goal for the next 45 days is to incorporate mindful rituals to accompany the workouts as well as maintain movement and accountability.

I took a break from my phone but still kept it moving and I’m back now 🤙 If I get annoying just scroll on passed me but I know my Queens will support me because we all have nothing but love for one another!!

A Herrera How are you!!? What’s new??I’ve been thinkin about you while I took the break from the phone.

*I tried joining the last two workshops and I couldn’t connect. I reached out to customer support and they apologized and said something like there will be more to join in the future. How is the 3 method working for those that have tried? I’m going to dig in and see what I can find. I want to try this method out!

**I didn’t have to dig very far to see what the 3 method is all about. It’s a video up at the top of our app where it says “start here”. From what I gathered, it’s a really thorough breakdown of what’s available to us through the app and community as well as a simplified introduction to how to begin our journey. I feel confident that I have been practicing this 3 method and will continue with it.

Accountability check in: Day 30 of 30 days of movement #NEW!!!

We are definitely out for the count. The boys and I slept for most of the day today. We got up and tried to eat but just stuck with bone broth, honey water and raw garlic. Niñito nursed basically all day. Not the way I wanted to close out the day but I’m not going to push it. I should of chilled out the previous few days but I was so excited to hit that goal. I attempted stretching with Raven but my body just couldn’t get warm even after putting on layers and two socks.

I really hope you guys are able to avoid this flu. Nothing good about it.

Wendy, let’s collaborate on a goal for February!!

Don’t worry, I’ll be back to clog the feed soon!! 🤓

Today is day 30!!!! I’ve made it! I couldn’t wait until this evening to post so I’ll post my workout with the accountability check in later this evening. I haven’t taken my measurements but at the beginning of this 30 days of movement I weighed 222 lbs and I am now 199!!! I wish I would have taken pictures of the scale but I honestly doubted myself. I did not think I would 1.) Make it to a full 30 days and 2.) I didn’t think I would be able to drop any weight at all. I proved myself wrong!!! I am going to take what’s left of January to set my February goal!

In the picture you can’t really see a significant weight loss difference? But I have my body composition appointment on Friday and I will take measurements with them to make sure they are accurate.

I am out of my pregnancy pants/chonies and I’ve noticed a difference in weird places like my upper arms in my armpits, like I have an armpit again and my wrists and neck. My butt doesn’t look or feel so flabby or like wide (?) anymore and my core feels increasingly stronger. I don’t have such bad hip and lower back pain as well.

I cannot imagine what 6 months looks like with QW!! I am so excited to continue my journey!!!
Thank you Fabiana

*Im going to try and wear the same clothes in each monthly update photo so I can see how they feel/fit different

Accountability check in: Day 29 of 30 days of movement #NEW

I only realized after I did this that maybe QW wouldn’t be too pumped but…

I invited one of my new neighbor friends over to the house to try a workout. I have been feeling so good and she has been expressing how depressed she is after her divorce and feeling like her health has gone down the drain in the last two years… we did a beginning workout with Coach Jamila and I showed her Day One of booty blaster with Fabiana and LOVED IT! She said she didn’t feel intimidated at all. I told her what drew me is that Fabi is Afro Latinx… we Morenas are few and far between out here. Simply put, Fabi is relatable on so many levels and you can see she cares for each of the Queens that join her community. Sidenote Fabiana don’t come after me if you’re offended and I’m wrong. My apologies if so
Anyway, I’m going to keep on her about signing up. I told her, “This isn’t a free workout zone and my door is for sure not always open so get it together on your end and join! Zero reasons to not do it”

It was a great day and I cannot fucking wait to get on the scale and take my measurements tomorrow!!!! ONE MORE DAY and I’ve reached my first self love goal/milestone!! Let’s goo queens!

Wendy!! How are you and your baby boy! We thinking of you girl!!
