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 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!

Accountability check in: Day 3 of 30 days of movement. #NEW

It’s only day three and I allowed myself to feel discouraged. Hearing from my ex and all of the negative speak he has towards me and my boys… I was feeling like what’s the point? He’s right. My mental state is so fragile and it’s easy for me to melt away into nothing.

I keep my queen warriors pendant on my wrist \I’m still at the point where I can’t bring myself to look in the mirror\ and I looked down and thought I’m literally just getting started. I don’t have to accept his words. My boys are loved and my boys love me. I am here for them and I am here for me.

I got my youngest down for a nap and gave the other his chapter book. I kept thinking even if he sleeps for thirty minutes that’s thirty minutes more than what I thought I was going to get. He ended up sleeping for a full hour! I heard “Mama” just as Jamila was closing out the cool down.

Thank you Raven and thank you Jamila! Thank you Fabi for creating this space for us! Also, I am thanking myself for truly stepping into my #NEW headspace and reminding myself of my self worth.

Every day is a milestone on this journey to self love and encouragement… empowerment… just positive viben’
