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!!

That’s so sad!! We are here for you in the community app and Facebook too! I never have the opportunity to make the live classes and always am catching replays. One day I’ll align with the live schedule but I feel there is so much more than just live workouts that come along with the membership - nutrition coaching, emotional support, direct access to our coaches… I hope you change your mind and renew!

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!

You got this, girl!! Stay consistent and turn to your fellow Queens when you need support!

Thank you! I am here to put in work and my intention of being so open on our QW app is so I can hold myself accountable and hopefully encourage others that are feeling the same way I am to keep going. Words from fellow Queens like you as well as coaches will give me the desire and strength to keep showing up!

I am so thankful for the support

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!
