CHEERS TO ALL THE DO-ERS!!!!!!
CHEERS TO ALL THE DO-ERS!!!!!! ✊✊✊☕☕☕ Comment below YESSSS if you are a fellow "Do-er"
The difference b/t the Do-er and the Dreamer is ACTION .
For too long I was wishing for things to happen to me and I hoped I would get "lucky" bc thats what I thought of successful people. They were all "lucky successful sons of ......" well ya know 😜😜😜. Hahah, well thats what I thought of them!!!!! 😉#truth ....Anyhoo, They were dreamers like me....right?!?!? Well in a way YES, but they also took MASSIVE ACTION towards their dreams.
So day by day, I step out of my comfort zone and learn new ways to build my business and help more people and day by day I'm closer to my goals and my dreams. 💪
I encourage you to also take MASSIVE ACTION towards a better life. You are either going to work towards building your own dreams or someone elses. Its time to get comfortable getting uncomfortable!!!!
Because you can't have the DREAM without the DO!!!!!! #imdoingthis #coachlife #noregrets
Why Do You Work Out?
Don't workout to ONLY improve the way you look. I mean yeah, its nice to reach a "size" or "weight" goal, but more importantly remember the bigger picture....
👉for a Stronger heart
👉No meds as you age
👉 to Lead by example for your loved ones
👉 to be able to comfortably wear a seat belt on a plane or roller coaster
👉 to have less DR. Visits
👉 to have more energy and to enjoy that "high" from a workout
👉 for stronger lungs and not being winded going up stairs
👉 to live not only longer but to also improve the overall quality of life

Just curious ...what would you add to this list?
You skipped a step
BEST way to predict your future?!?!???!
Frickin' CREATE it!!!!
So you want to have an awesome week!? Right?! Ok then....Create a PLAN. I like to use Sunday afternoons for this. A few weeks ago I came up with "my perfect day" plan and it's helped me with staying on track with my goals.
Try it!!!!! Write down what your PERFECT day looks like. Make a check mark list so you feel determined to check off every box. And in a week's time you will know what you CONTINUALLY miss or skip. Then next week move that skipped check mark box to the TOP of your list. What's holding you back might be the most important task you keep skipping.
You have been wanting results and that only happens when you take ACTION. So let's do what needs to be done in our minds, bodies and businesses!!!!!! #wegotgoals #strongertogether #coachlife #thesweatlifewithsarah
You Are Worth It
Yes, another sweaty selfie because I want you to know the importance of a LIFESTYLE CHANGE. What I do is NOT scientific but it's what works for me and it's helped more lives LONG-TERM than ANY OTHER quick fix I know of...... want to know my secrets??!!?! Well...
I don't drink 2- 3 shakes a day.
I don't work out for more than an hour a day.
I'm not keto.
I don't wrap myself.
I don't starve myself.
I don't wear a patch or hormonal sticky note.
I don't take hormones or pills
I'm not perfect....and I'm not trying to be. That's the truth.
I eat 80% healthy. I drink 80-100 oz of water a day. I drink one shake a day. I work out usually 30-40 min a day. That's it. No secret sauce. NO yo-yo diets or fads.
If you are searching for an answer then start within. Realize you are BETTER than a quick fix. Think long term. Create a lifestyle you are proud of. Because YOU ARE WORTH IT. #iamteambeachbody
Back on the Salad Train!
Time to get back on the salad train!!! We just ate at an Irish pub and instead of bangers and mash I opted for the salad. Still wayyyyy good.
.
I get it though, traveling can make eating healthy difficult BUUUUTTTT yes.....it CAN be done!!!! Still had a s'more yesterday. (Cause I'm real).
But I packed my super foods shakes-so that helps my budget & waistline #win and I also try to remember that most restaurants have great options!!!
Here are a few of my travel tips....
- Salads. Eat em'. Dressing on the side
- YOU CAN get the burger or Pasta or Pizza or dessert....Just make sure you split and share your meal with someone. Half the price, half the calories. Yasssss.
- Water. ALL DAY ERR'DAY. I always pack my shaker cup. It's 25 oz. Aim for 3-4 of them!
- Workouts!?!? Ummm yes! You're on vacay!! You finally have MORE time! Spend that time on YOU! With AWESOME home workouts being available everywhere like Beachbody On Demand you don't have a good enough excuse to NOT do it!!!! Screw it. Yes say "screw it!" If there's something you want to indulge in or take a rest day...or 3. Then DO IT! Being perfect is NOT PERFECT. Seriously enjoy your vacay and make some memories.
Have a fun vacay!!!!
Four Failed Businesses
Did you know that I have been involved in 4 Failed Businesses!? And actually probably more if I really think about it! lol. But ya know what!?!... taking those risks and trying was ALL worth it.
I know that I would not be where I am today if I hadn't tried. And I DEFINITELY wouldn't have the knowledge & wisdom that I learned from those failures without going for it.
So do I regret TRYING? Heck NO! Because of those failures I have found my career and everyday I wake up thinking 'how is THIS my job?!?' I sometimes ask myself 'Why didn't I take THIS risk and go for it years back?' And ya know what? Because I would have failed at it. THATS why. Gods timing is everything. I needed growth and needed to learn a few things before I could be in the right mindset to make THIS work. I'm so grateful now and know I wouldn't be as thankful for this opportunity without the struggles and heartache before. <3
With all that said- I really hope you take this as a sign to just DO IT! Whatever it is! And Im not saying you won't fail but it will get you closer to where YOU need to be. We only have a short time to live- so take risks. Try and Do and Fail- FORWARD. You got THIS <3

Baby Got (Sore) Back?
Hey!! If you are doing my AWESOME ABS Challenge then you might be a bit sore, so I wanted to give you a tutorial of my favorite exercises to help alleviate back pain. :D
Cat Cow pose
......get into table top position. Inhale and on the exhale move to arch and round your back as high up as you can. Take a breath then exhale, Inhale then on your next exhale move to cow pose and drop stomach low. Keep your shoulders away from your ears and tilt your head up just to stretch the neck...don't go so far you feel pain. Repeat one and a half breaths and on the exhale move back to the cat pose. Do this exercise for 2 minutes.
Lie back in child's pose for one minute. ......
Bridge to Knee pull
.......Start in lying down position, knees right over heels, feet close together. Inhale and on the exhale slowly tighten lower abs and tilt hips up towardceiling. Imagine your back has 4 points touching the ground. Slowly lift butt, lower back, then middle, and upper back. Take one and half breaths. On your next exhale lower down, then go down in the same order (Tailbone still tucked under- very important). Then when hips reach down bring knees to chest for one and a half breaths. Repeat. Do this exercise for 2 minutes.
HAPPY STRETCHING!
XOXO,
Your friend and Coach,
Sarah
TRUTH MOMENT
I was a major B.....like totes.✋
I would hide it though. I would have the most NEGATIVE thoughts about other women especially to AMAZING BEAUTIFUL SMART women. Why!? Because I was jealous of what they had and I resented them.
I would pity myself and come up with every excuse as to why I would never be like that because they were fake and probably mean in person and in my mind I justified why I looked down on them.
Then finally something clicked. I realized I was putting them down because I wasn't happy with MYSELF. I thought that if I tore others down then I would somehow come across better?! Ya know what?! I still felt like crap, and I also had people in my life that also like d to gossip about others....ugh it was a terrible cycle that I KNEW I needed to stop.
I can actually recall that time 3 years ago on social media I was following some of those AMAZING BEAUTIFUL WOMEN and NOT liking on photos bc I didn't want to give them MORE love....and in my head they didn't need it- and it was only making their ego big.....ha! Well a little voice in my head said this......'Sarah! You little Bitch!!! Go in and now like on 10 OF THIER PHOTOS!!!! I've been doing that now for a few years and even now in person trying to compliment other women because I NEVER want to go back to that place of negativity, gossip and hate EVERRRR AGAIN!!!
My life is so much more full and I can tell YOU that if I see you in my social media you WILL get a Like from me. I want to build you up because YOU have inspired me to be a better happier person and I thank you for it! TO ALL OF THOSE BEAUTIFUL, AMAZING SMART WOMEN!!! I LOVE YOU!!!
A little nervous to share this....
Sooooo.... I'm all about others sharing transformation photos but was always too scared to share my own. Why?! Because I need to tell you something. I don't have it all figured out, but I'm stronger mentally and physically now and for that I'm so so grateful.

When I was 18 I started a very bad eating habit. I would "fast" every other day and then binge eat till I felt sick. I also had this love hate relationship with my scale and I would only be happy with myself if I was under a certain number. I struggled for years from this and in 2010 I decided to throw out my scale. One of the best decisions I ever made. In 2014 I started to dial in my nutrition and feed my body the RIGHT foods. I couldn't have done it in my own but I found a system that works for me.
.
I share all this with you to let you know, that NO you don't have to have it all figured out. And if you struggle with the same things then know if I can overcome this battle, so can you! You ARE more important than a number on a scale!!!! If you need love and support just know you are NOT alone.
