I’m using this account as a live journal to hold myself accountable and hopefully my transparency is relatable to a fellow Queen 🫶

*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.

A Herrera we got this! If we keep showing up it will all work itself out 🤞👌

Thank you!! I’m really hoping I start to look the way I feel soon!

Thank you! I just hope this next round of weight loss actually looks like I did something 😟

Ada Nieves We can’t gate keep either! People are probably sick of hearing me but I tell as many women about QW as I can… if they are willing to listen, haha

Haha, not needed but I appreciate the gesture. You showing up and the energy you bring is what I need. You guys are giving me something so much greater than a shirt, a new lease on life and a foundation for a healthy lifestyle I can pass to my boys! Thank you and I hope you’re having a smooth recovery from surgery 🤙🫶

Ada Nieves haha, that’s ok! It took me almost two/three weeks before I realized I had access to Coach Alexis and her knowledge!!

I would start tuning in to Coach Alexis nutrition courses. She goes in on detail about all kinds of things that could potentially help you. You can always comment on her videos on a replay or tap in on the live. You can @ her in your posts in the community as well. Us Queens love to pass around second hand info and things we have learned from our coaches but it’s always best to get that info direct from a reputable source!

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
