This is horrifying…. Putting a picture like this on the internet… BUT “pictures or it didn’t happen”, right?! I don’t know how long it will take to get to where I want to be but I know 6 months from now I will have evolved from what you see here to a version of me that is more confident, radiant and happy!

Accountability check in: Day 12 of 30 days of movement #NEW

Today is a rest day. After watching Jennifer’s videos I decided I needed to step out of my comfort zone. I live in an apartment complex and I see the same couple of women that are around my age and one of them has a baby that is close to my baby’s age, so… I knocked on their door and asked if they wanted to join my boys and I at the park. We ended up getting coffee and doing several loops around the park and playing with our kids outside. This is something I would NEVER EVER do! I have isolated myself for so many years because I didn’t feel worthy of love or friendship. I know y’all are sick of hearing me say it but I seriously am so thankful for QW! I would have stayed on my path of deep depression and sabotage if not for QW. It’s not just me QW has helped… it’s my boys.. my family!

I dropped 9 pounds!! The most weight I’ve lost since I had my baby and honestly the most weight I’ve lost in years. It feels so amazing to know that the work I’m putting in is already showing a reward!!

Wendy, I’m thinking of you and I hope you had a beautiful Sunday! Remember we are all here for eachother and we want to see you overcome and thrive!

I haven’t done my workout yet. It seems like 10/11/ 12 is the magic hour for me lately.

Today I’ve been taking time to dive deeper into the app. Girl, 78 bucks is a steal for all that is offered to us! A couple days ago I was like, “man, I wish I had access to a nutritionist.” Guess what? Hello!! I didn’t realize we had the access we have to Coach Alexis
The mindset coaching with Jennifer is something I have been hesitant to really dive into because I was worried about the questions that would be brought forward and I was scared to answer them. I finally tuned in and her authenticity is so inviting. I feel like I’m sitting in the room with a friend. It feels safe to listen and think about the topics she is bringing forward.

Cannot express how thankful I am for this community! I didn’t find Queen Warriors, something divine must’ve sent them to ME! I have never felt this connected/invested in a wellness journey. For the first time I feel like I am going to learn how to love me!

Looking forward to my workout later!

Wendy!! Watch the latest mindset coaching with Jennifer. I have a feeling the conversation will resonate. Text girl! We are here for you!

***1:32am was finally able to get my workout in. Abs and booty with Fabiana and closed it out with an excellent work out with Coach Jamila It was a replay of course but nonetheless it was so sweet to see Fabi, Raven and Jennifer send her off on maternity leave. Congratulations Coach Jamila I hope you’re enjoying those precious newborn moments. Looking forward to your return!

I’m still here! Started the workout with the booty and abs with Fabiana and wrapped up with Raven Cruz

The issue I’m having right now is eating. I feel like I’m scared to eat too much… I am following the custom meal plan I received with the fab fit Christmas but I feel like I’m eating a lot. I know that sounds crazy… my old eating habits were bad - go all day with only having a venti espresso with cold foam from Starbucks then once I get the boys to bed I’ll eat scraps and snacks while I watched a show or doom scrolled. Now eating through the day I feel very full and am slowly getting out of the late night eating cravings but I guess it’s just the transition I need to get used to as well is realizing my body is adjusting from living off survival mode to actually being given nutrients and a sustainable eating routine. I need to more diligent about water consumption…

Wendy!! How you doin’, girl!! I hope you have a chill weekend and find some time for us Queens.

Started the abs and booty courses with Fabi today. Felt good. Felt the burn. I loved the pace of the abs workout. Fabi kept it moving not really giving you time to realize how much you’ll be feelin it tomorrow, haha. I finished the last half of my workout with Coach Chastity. It was my first workout with her and I appreciated how she integrated the chat while keeping the workouts moving. Through questions of fellow queens I learned a lot about nutrition and how to tweak certain things to help our bodies with things like bloat.

Wendy, I hope you’re day was a great one and I hope you made time for us Queens! You got this and a whole community of women want to see you achieve your goals! You are not alone!

Accountability check in: Day 8 of 30 days of movement #NEW

Today is a rest day. I have to admit I’m not feeling confident in the rest days and cheat days. I feel like I’m so touch and go that if I even allow the slightest deviation I’ll just crash and burn. Coaches, are rest days vital? Would it be that bad if we skipped?

Today was Sonny’s first day back to school - the baby and I walked laps around his campus so we could see big brother while he played at recess. Ended up walking 1.5 miles.

Wendy where you at with the day? It was pretty awesome to see Fabiana be transparent with you and reciprocate the vulnerability you shared with us Queens. Sometimes I forget that these powerhouse coaches of ours can be in the same boat emotionally and mentally sometimes. The awesome thing is- they have the tools to bounce back and the even better part of that is they are sharing those coping tools with us!!

Nothing in life is linear and finding what works for you is a massive trial and error. I feel like my journey started taking a step in leaving a DV situation. I some how stumbled on QW and I have to say this is the cherry on top. I really was ready to accept a life of depression and self hate until
I realized there are so many women out there just like me struggling with similar circumstances and feelings. I guess I’m just trying to say that this platform/community/fitness app is beyond all of that. It’s a space where we can learn or relearn how to love ourselves. Wherever you’re at don’t give up, Wendy! Every day is a new day that welcomes new blessings into your life. If you haven’t already, take full advantage of the mindset coaching with Jennifer. Sometimes I wake up feeling extremely just sad and lost and alone and guilty for having those feelings when I have my boys with me… Jennifer’s words are really meant for all of us. There is such power behind those intentions. I believe that and because you are here I know you do too!!!

I completed Jamila’s two week, 6 course class as well as 30 minute HIIT with Raven. Feel good and feeling confident to complete the abs and booty courses with Fabi.

We got this Queens! Let’s go!

Accountability check in: Day 6 of 30 days of movement. #NEW

I didn’t think it was going to happen. The boys were having a day. Workin’ out with them awake was a no, nap time lasted 10 minutes and Bedtime took 4 hours. Had to check my patience a few times but we got through it and I worked out with Fabi \my first intermediate class! Let me tell you, I was reborn! Haha\ and Jamila. Got a full hour in… at midnight 🥵

Feeling good and ready for a new day with my boys and my Queens!!

Accountability check in: Day 5 of 30 days of movement. #NEW Jamila’s words were meant to be heard!

Accountability check in: Day 4 of 30 days of movement #NEW Today was a rest day. I took my boys for a walk, walked at pace on the walking pad and did some stretching. Felt good but I missed how good I feel after the QW workouts! Back at it tomorrow!
