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

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

Accountability check in: Day 29 of 30 days of movement #NEW

I only realized after I did this that maybe QW wouldn’t be too pumped but…

I invited one of my new neighbor friends over to the house to try a workout. I have been feeling so good and she has been expressing how depressed she is after her divorce and feeling like her health has gone down the drain in the last two years… we did a beginning workout with Coach Jamila and I showed her Day One of booty blaster with Fabiana and LOVED IT! She said she didn’t feel intimidated at all. I told her what drew me is that Fabi is Afro Latinx… we Morenas are few and far between out here. Simply put, Fabi is relatable on so many levels and you can see she cares for each of the Queens that join her community. Sidenote Fabiana don’t come after me if you’re offended and I’m wrong. My apologies if so
Anyway, I’m going to keep on her about signing up. I told her, “This isn’t a free workout zone and my door is for sure not always open so get it together on your end and join! Zero reasons to not do it”

It was a great day and I cannot fucking wait to get on the scale and take my measurements tomorrow!!!! ONE MORE DAY and I’ve reached my first self love goal/milestone!! Let’s goo queens!

Wendy!! How are you and your baby boy! We thinking of you girl!!

Thank you! I will switch it up because I definitely have been more focused on the HIIT workouts and not the Power ones. I trust you, obviously, but like Coach Jamila says, “Sometimes you are you’re own obstacle.” Even after thirty days I am still working through adapting the eating habits and not shaming myself for thinking I’m eating too much!

Thank you!! You’re always the sweetest! I look forward to notifications from you 😊😊

Accountability check in: Day 28 of 30 days of movement #NEW

In like right at the finish line and the boys and I are sick. Hit us like a brick. They are sleeping a lot which is good. I’m thankful today is a rest day. I’m taking advantage and resting right alongside them. I am thankful that I have the ability to let the boys nap on a cot in the office at work and I can still work as well tomorrow. Masked up and gloves… no fever for any of us so if we do end up with one we will stay home.

I was reading online that your skin starts to look saggy when you start shedding fat? Any truth to that? I’m feeling like my mommy poochi is like way saggy but I should be happy about that? I cannot wait to take measurements and weigh myself in a couple days!

Wendy!! Hope you made time for us Queens today!
