Accountability check in: Day 22 of 30 days of movement #NEW
I am living by these words. No matter how uncomfortable things may feel I will continue to push through and make proper decisions for me and my boys.
Did abs and booty with Fabi today and yesterday was day four of the abs course and I felt it but let me tell you… today I realized how much Fabiana worked it. These workouts are shedding this old skin helping me step into a stronger more able individual!! I’m almost at 30 days and I have already experience changes I wasn’t expecting. It’s more than just a workout app… I’m telling you!

Accountability check in: Day 21 of 30 days of movement. #NEW

Abs and booty with Fabiana and HIIT with Raven. I’ll get to the stretches after the boys go to sleep.

I have been starting my gym workouts with cardio and Jennifer Zoga adding this to my routine reminds me of why I’m here. No matter which video I click on Jennifer’s words always hit.

QUEENS!!! I got the job!!! I’m so excited and happy and thankful and just ready to accept all of the goodness and divine light! Thank you to QW coaches and our community for igniting the flame and guiding me with positivity and love!!

WENDY!! Hey girl! Hope you’re well and are on a path to find your happiness

Accountability check in: Day 20 of 30 days of movement #NEW

Worked out with Fabiana - abs and booty - and Raven Cruz - joined Ravens 10 days of stretching - felt good! I’m excited to see how this weeks gym/QW schedule will be!

So, I’m feeling discouraged because I’m not seeing changes in my body with my own eyes. My weight has gone down a bit which I’m thankful for and I am feeling stronger as well as feeling like I have more mobility throughout the day and while working out. I have noticed my butt is looking smoother like where the cheeks hit the thighs. It also looks a little more rounded out.

No significant physical changes though. I need to be better about eating. I don’t know why I can’t keep up with the food. I go all day and then I’m like ok once the boys are asleep I can eat. That’s where I gain weight and why things aren’t moving as fast as I would like them to

Wendy! I’m still here thinking about you and hoping you’re well!!

Accountability check in: Day 19 of 30 days of movement #NEW

Took the boys for a walk, went to the laundromat, grocery shopping and ran 1.5 miles on the treadmill and walked 1 mile. I took some time today to plan my workout schedule for the week. Kind of a trial run to see if this new schedule is less chaotic feeling for me and the boys. Doing the QW workouts at home is a breeze, but I really want to incorporate the gym into the routine. I liked the 3 days on and one day off but I feel that my body is comfortable with 6 days on and one day off. This gives me solid time that I can dedicate to both gym and QW. Before, I was splitting the day and trying to work in the app and the gym along with everything else we work with as mothers.. left me feeling overwhelmed. We shall see.

I think I’ve gotten past the point of return and I now want to show up instead of needing to show up.

Hey Wendy!! Where ya at girl?? Hope 2025 is treating you well so far?

Accountability check in: Day 18 of 30 days of movement #NEW

Today was a true rest day. No jogging, no walking, no QW workout just household chores and a stroll around the block a couple times with the boys. Felt nice. I did attempt to watch some nutrition courses but none of the videos would load? Anybody else have any issues?

Wendy! Still wishing you success and I hope you’re continuing on your QW journey.

Accountability check in: Day 17 of 30 days of movement #NEW

I am very thankful that I am gaining friendship but I feel like I am allowing myself to get distracted. I am still working out, today I jogged 1.5 miles and met up with the girls from my building at the mall where we walked laps and let our kids play together. I got home and I am exhausted from the week. Each of them have husbands and support at home with their kids and they don’t fully understand how much of a challenge single parenting can be. I feel stretched thin but I’m unsure if this is just my mind wanting to retreat to its comfort zone, isolation or if these are true feelings. I’m going to continue to meet up but I need to set boundaries and if I get overwhelmed remind myself it’s ok to raincheck.

I do love jogging but I just feel like I’m getting more of a workout with the QW app. Part of me feels guilty? Or like I’m failing on days I did not use the app.

Accountability check in: Day 16 of 30 days of movement. #NEW

Today was an active rest day. The boys and I went to the gym. Did some deep stretching and light cardio and tested out some equipment I watched on YouTube. Next weeks mini goal is to bring QW to the gym and utilize the gym workout videos! Overall good day feel better than yesterday!

Wendy, I hope you are making progress and utilizing all that is offered to us through QW!!

Accountability check in: Day 15 of 30 days of movement. #NEW

I hit a brick wall today. I still ran 1.5 miles and walked 1 mile at pace… did a little weights and I plan to close out the day with Fabiana abs and booty but I don’t know… I had a forced interaction with my ex and it just is like gnawing on my gut. I feel unmotivated. Unsure. Tomorrow is a new day and we will start fresh.

Wendy! Sending you love and positive thoughts!

*I did not workout with Fabiana I ate chips and ice cream. Granted, it was four spoons of ice cream and the 5 chips over the serving suggestion but still… it’s the action of the old habit that I’m scared of. I knew what I was doing and I just continued to self sabotage. How do I change this behavior? How do I get to a point where my ex doesn’t have such a crippling affect on me. I feel like I just wasted the last 15 days for empty calories… I will refocus and regroup and move forward from this setback. I have to.

Accountability check in: Day 14 of 30 days of movement #NEW

I joined a local gym today. The girls that I mentioned from my accountability post day 12, they go to this gym. I went in while my oldest was in school. I thought I’d just take a tour and come back when I could afford it. The manager not only hooked it up with a discounted membership but also offered me a job!! I still have to go through the hiring process so keep us in your prayers… but I have been looking for something that would allow me to bring in money without having to pay for childcare. With this position I can bring both of my boys with me to work… but you can even see on here in the comment sections when we were asked what our one Christmas wish would be…I asked for this!!! God blessed me!!

I went back with both of my boys after I picked the oldest from school. I jogged on the treadmill for one mile and came home to complete the abs and booty courses with Fabiana . While we were there the boys played in the kid zone area and I was able to see them from where I was working out on the gym floor. First time I’ve had them babysat. Scary. We didn’t spend much time today because I wanted to see how they would do/react to the new surroundings.

A lot of transitions going on and major shifts.. all positive and welcomed.

Fabiana I truly believe that without embracing the positivity from this community none of these things would be happening. The power of a true mental shift is an unbelievable miracle. Thank you

Wendy, I’m thinking of you every day… looking out for a text or post from you. I hope you’re doing well!!

Accountability check in: Day 13 of 30 days of movement. #NEW \I was ready to half ass it\

We came back feeling good after the rest day. I worked out with Fabiana for her abs and booty class. I started a HIIT class with her after to close out the hour but the boys just weren’t having it. I’ll have to complete the second half of the work out later tonight but the boys swear they are talking directly to her, haha. I love it!

*ok, I came back and got it done. After I got the boys to sleep I was just laying there with them thinkin like, “QW advertises 30 minutes 3 days a week so I’m good. 🙄” Then I heard my creep ass ex’s voice in my head doggin me like I told you you would stay fat I told you you couldn’t do it… I got up out bed and smashed that intermediate HIIT workout with Fabiana
And when I wanted to stop during some of the rounds I just let it all out. “Im here for me not you!! - See ME b*- I don’t give a F *what you think anymore!!” Got a little crazy for a minute but I reeled it back in and thanked myself for showing up and continuing to get that full hour of movement in.
**A question for our coaches: Is it bad to have a break between workouts like that? Or is it something like.. as long as it gets done it’s good? I feel like I’m starting all over again and that like heart pump and sweat is gone which makes me feel like I didn’t do enough.

Wendy! I hope you clocked in on the app today and I hope you’re doing well!
