What Do I Eat?

When people ask me what I eat my reply in my head is is usually "FOOD. LIKE ACTUAL, FOOD." 😂🤣No pills. No cleanses.No weight loss coffee(listen coffee already makes me 💩 so no thanks👌🏼.....and No 5 shakes a day. No "diet" foods. No sugar-free anything. No "foods" that come out of a box that will expire 30 years from now.....etc. 😉 

So what do I ACTUALLY EAT!?!? In my HOLIDAY HUSTLE GROUP we are all logging our food each day(and trying to cut back on added sugar this week). So after I checked in for the night, I thought I would also share here too! 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
👌🏼Breakfast.... 2 cups of coffee with organic half and half
👌🏼Snack....natural peanut butter & a banana
👌🏼Dinner....sweet as honey chicken with rice and sugar snap peas(forgot to take a pic bc I scarfed it) but it was frickin amazing! #ilovehellofresh
👌🏼raspberry Tea with honey
👌🏼Dessert... vegan strawberry superfoods smoothie with frozen berries and water(I'm planning on drinking it in about an hour bc that's when I want sweets) 
👌🏼midnight snack.. . smart pop popcorn(I'm writing it down bc I know I will want some later and don't want to come back to edit this post 🙈😉

Take a Compliment

Ya know how ya know you have grown from years of personal development!?!!?!....
You learn how to take a compliment.

I just re-wrote a message from a friend who said.....
"I want to be like you when I grow up."
My response was...
"Thanks, but I'm not that cool." ....
Then I rewrote it saying ..."Thanks, we ALL cool!" 

For YEARS(including the message I got today) if I would hear someone say something nice and I would totally discredit what they would say...usually with sarcasm. Ummmm, can you say JERK!?!? 🙈🙈🙈 
I would rarely just say "THANK YOU." I had to explain myself or put myself down to prove thier compliment wrong and it's because I didn't believe it. I thought...."oh, they are just being nice"....or "they must want something in return." Seriously. That's what I thought!!!! I now realize that most people ARE KIND. I still have to catch my JERK-SELF from ruining my life but it just takes that extra few seconds to stop and see the positive rather than look for the negative. 
.
Do you relate to this!!?!? I think there's a little "jerk" in all of us...so, the next time someone gives you a compliment I want you to only say 2 WORDS. 
THANK.
YOU.
.
When you don't talk yourself out of love that comes into your life then you start to believe there is more love to recieve and more love to give to others. 😘

Empower or Restrict?

"What you build today will either EMPOWER or RESTRICT you tomorrow."
- The ONE Thing

This quote stood out to me today because 2 words have been with me these last few years "FREEDOM" & "EMPOWERMENT." First, I wanted it for myself, & now I want it for others. 

A few years ago those words meant nothing to me. Personal development meant nothing. The word "Successful" made me bitter.....and it's because I didn't even allow myself to dream BIG. I was also soooo envious of those that were successful. And for that, I put a cap on my own success. I was afraid of the word SUCCESS. To me I thought if I wanted MORE I would have to DO MORE. For someone who didn't get even halfway through college and a C student all through HS (yes I was the class clown, constant talker & guard Basketball player, #hoosier I just want to have fun ya'll 😜✌🏼).. I thought I was destined to ALWAYS be behind when it came to SUCCESS. 

💁🏽‍♀️And BIG Success. Oh yeeeaaahhhh right!!!!!...that meant a BIG Possibility for BIG FAILURE. No thanks ✋✋✋

Then in 2014 I finally realized.....
"THIS. SUCKS." I had hit a wall and that wall was my OWN tiny box I had built around myslef. I didn't ACTUALLY try because I was too scared of the thought...."WHAT IF I FAIL?!"
But I started to hear...."WHAT IF I SUCCEED!?!?" So yea. What if?!!??! So I imagined what that would look like and FINALLY told myself it was OH- KAYYYY to dream🤔🤔🤔 to me that meant.....
👌🏼Sleeping in and sweats all day
👌🏼Not working for anyone else. Ever.again.
👌🏼Retiring Eddie from his job so we could hang all day 😍 & we both pursue what we enjoy...
👌🏼Traveling every month
👌🏼Buying a house

I think you know how this story goes and I still can't believe it all has happened....all while I was also teaching 15 fitness classes per week (I've since cut back and my knees thank me 🙏)

My dreams are actually a little bigger now. 
👌🏼Help others DREAM BIGGER & HELP THEM ALSO ACHIEVE IT. 
👌🏼Buy a beach house so I don't have to rent one for my Coach retreats anymore 😉

I share all this with you to say....IT'S OK TO DREAM BIGGER. It's ok to WANT MORE & I'm here if you need the help.

Home!

We made it home!!!! We left our itunes on and it played the same song from my Zumba Mega mix over 1,000x .....sorry #maithekitty 🤣😜🤣 she was a little upset but I think shes over it now.

The Best Fries

Well...I usually have a HEALTHY eating plan on road trips.....but I heard someone talking about 5 guys burgers and fries....and had to find the next burger and fries place....second best option💁🏽‍♀️ Steak & Shake. Man, oh man they have the BEST FRIES. 😍😍😍 I know I say abs are made in the kitchen, but hey. I'm human. I'm happy. And occasional treats are ohhh-kayyyyy 😘👌🏼

Plans

Planning to succeed is one way to live life...and not planning at all is another way to live.

For me, I had NO PLAN. I was HOPING good things would happen TO me. I would see others with success and think..."they are just lucky"..."the timing was perfect for them"..."if only I did this sooner in life"...."I'm not one of those go-getters"....."I've already failed too many times"...."I don't have a pro photographer taking pics of me all day long for a perfect IG" 🤣

Too many times I didn't even TRY to succeed because I thought I ALREADY knew the outcome. I have believed lie after lie and have been taught to live life a certain way....
🤔Be quiet...
🤔Don't draw attention to yourself...
🤔People are judging you...
🤔You'll never be successful at an online Business because look at all those who failed...
🤔That's not normal, so you shouldn't do it. 

Doubts after doubts flooded my thoughts but something inside me said NOT THIS TIME. I'M NOT A QUITTER...ANYMORE. AND I'M NOT DEFINED BY MY FAILURES. I PLAN TO SUCCEED. I PLAN TO SHOW UP. I AM ENOUGH. WATCH ME.✊🏼

These New truths are what I became to believe, but guys, it didn't happen over night. I invested in personal development. I reached out to mentors who I once envied & I thought were conceited and "lucky" and in all honesty drove me NUTS over the fact that I needed THEIR help....lol ...TALK ABOUT EGO SARAH🙈🙈🙈 but I got over it. Thank Tha Lawd. And the good news is I'm happy. I found my calling. I've helped people. I have FREEDOM. I don't wake up with dread about money anymore. I get to work from home with Eddie now.#photobomber . I re-wrote my story and let me tell you....IT'S WORTH IT.😍😭😍

If Fear is what's holding you back because you also believe in False Truths then know its Possible to change your mindset & story. Don't let Fear of Failure hold you back...instead be Fearful of Regret...you live this life once. 
We can't change our past so forgive yourself. Forgive others. And move towards a life you only dream about. 
It's time to GO FOR IT. ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 

If you are curious...Here's how I did it....

Multitasking

I always used to think that MULTI-TASKING was a great thing...I would even say I was good at it....but that couldn't be further from the truth.

Our minds are meant to focus on ONE task at a time. Sure we can walk and talk at the same time but when we are on our phone while spending time with family or friends then we must realize that we are NOT being present. We are distracted and becoming BETTER at being distracted. Every 14 seconds a new idea pops into our mind and if we aren't focused on what matters most, then we continue to chase another thought....or another idea.

Did you know we also lose about 28% of our day because of trying to multi-task!?!?!?! I see it ALL THE TIME and it makes sense that (ESPECIALLY ONLINE) people are distracted by NEW and shiny things ALL day long. Yes, Im talking to Fellow Online Entrepreneurs 😉😢 We spend money in hopes of new results but we NEVER have enough focus to actually FINISH ANYTHING. We have not become GREAT at a a few things in life...instead we have become mediocre at A LOT OF THINGS... our job, relationships and even our passions have taken a backseat to our distractions and our Multi-tasking. 😭😭

WE.ARE.SPREAD.TOO.THIN.

So what do we do!?!?!?! Well finish reading this post for starters 😉

And....
☝🏼 BE PRESENT
Practice being in the moment. Leave your phone in your purse or pocket the next time you are with people. Trust me, they already think you are a jerk for texting while they are talking.🙈🙈🙈 When you show ACTUAL interest in them they will mirror you and also become better listeners. Trust me.

✌🏼 EXERCISE REGULARLY
Yes, you knew I would throw that in there 😉BECAUSE IT'S FREAKIN TRUE!!!! Exercise triggers endorphins and you are able prioritize better and block out distractions. #googleit

👌🏼PD.PD.PD.
Add in Personal development daily. Start with 15 minutes....you will see how HARD it is to focus even that long so that's WHY you need it!!!!! 
((((Message me if you want my top 3 (audio) books on becoming LESS distracted and in the moment. )))))

I hope that helps!!!!! Now go be GREAT...one task at a time. #onlincoach #theonething #focusforthewin

Not About Perfect

33 days until the New Year 🙈 .... annnnd yep I haven't eaten the greatest these last few weeks(including 2 bagels with a LOT of butter I had yesterday) but because I wasn't great on nutrition I DIDN'T say ...."Screw it, I'm waiting until the new year to get healthy!" ....those that think that way are pretty much driving a car with a flat tire....and instead of fixing it they are going to wait until ALL of thier tires are flat and THEN get thier car fixed. 🤔🙈💁🏽‍♀️ It's sad we treat our cars, or new phones, or anything else BETTER than we treat our own bodies.

THAT. STOPS.NOW. 

I've got a few spots left for my December Virtual Fit Club and if you see the this as an opportunity to PROVE to yourself that you CAN make your health a priority then lets GOOOOOOO!!!!!! 🙌🙌🙌 And when January hits you will ALREADY develop the habits so you DON'T quit on yourself EVER AGAIN.

Choices. Actions. Habits.

Choices become actions.

Habits become our way of life. 
It only takes one habit to have a domino effect in a very good way or a very bad way.
