More Than A Number
I am MORE than a number on a scale ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼 And ya'll.....I FINALLY feel great about what was once a struggle!!!!..... because today I faced that scale, out of curiosity and guess what!?!?!?!?!
I'VE GAINED ALMOST 8 LBS AND I FEEL AWESOME ABOUT IT!!!!!! From an abusive scale user, this is HUGE y'all... I've not weighed myself in YEARSSSS, because I had a very unhealthy "scale addiction". If I went over 110 I would starve myself the next day. Then binge the following day and that cycle would repeat day after day....
Yea totes uncool, right!?!?! Yea it is. But it was my struggle and if I wanted to overcome it I needed to do something different. So I threw away my scale and started feeding my body the RIGHT nutrition. I also stopped OVER TRAINING by teaching 12+ Fitness classes a week because I was in my 20's and my joints fricking HUUUUURRRTTTT. 🙈😭🙈
I now workout 20-40 min 5 -6 days a week and am sticking to my nutrition program Most the time. (I mean, I love burgers, soooo #ohwell )
I now measure my success by how STRONG I am. Can I do more pushups now? Yes.
Can I lift heavier now? Yes.
Ummm, that's what's important!!!!
I told Eddie about my weight increasing And he said...."you know that's all muscle right!?!!?" And I said, "yep and I'm pretty happy about it." 😘✌🏼
Remember when you stop judging yourself you start to become the better version of your past self. So love yourself, no judgement allowed. And make steps towards loving who were, who you are and you are becoming. Because babe, you will always be more than a number. 💜💜💜 #transform2k19#letsdothis #virtualfitclub #virtualbootcamp#sweatwithsarah #thesweatlifewithsarah#accountabilityiskey
Brain On
Anyone else staying up late because that’s when your brain turns on!?!?! Yea, sames!!!! 😂💁🏽♀️ Well I'm FINALLY pooped..and sweaty, I spent the last 3 hours choreographing new songs for the cruise next week!!!! For those of ya going remind me to film them with ya!!!! eeeeeeee, #sostoked#6thannualdancefitnesscruise #karmavacations
Go Get It!
1 Day to go!!!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!! Tomorrow the Go Getters, Go Get it. 😂😁😁🙌 But first I gotta get real with the "ALMOST THERE PEOPLE"......
.
Ya know, I talk to quite a few people, (well, it is my job💁🏽♀️ And I feel like I can finally say I know the SECRET to success! Just fyi it doesn't come from years of learning. I mean that's all well and good but TRUTHFULLY Success really comes from years of DOING. Because let's be real.....do ya think Successful people wait until they FEEL ready to take on a new Challenge???? Ummmm. nope. They take action RIGHT.AWAY. Sure they have doubts but the quicker they take action, the quicker they will fail and learn from their mistakes... the sooner they DO come back stronger, wiser and more successful. They are more conscientious of their mortality and act with a sense of urgency. They have more self awareness and gratefulness for the time they have left on this earth.
But sadly, MOST people fall into the ALMOST THERE...or the QUITTER category. They actually QUIT before they even COMMIT!!!!!
"I'll wait to get healthy after ....
"I'm not FIT enough to try that."
"I don't have the time to commit.."
"Not right now now because I don't have the confidence yet to succeed"...
"I don't have money to eat healthy, (but watch me get a new iPhone and eat out and drink every weekend...yea, I see your posts boo😂😉 and trust me, I was the same)...
So if ya REALLY want more outta life then ya gotta be honest with yourself. Because YES, you have the time, money, support team and a clear path for success when you get outta your own way!!!!!!!
I say all that because Listen babe, I'm here for ya.

Food Labels
FOOD LABELS....do you read them!?!? Yes? Or No or kinda?!?! I wanna know!!!!

Ya know the more I learn... the more I realize DON'T KNOW. 🤣 so that's why I've been educating myself on WHY a superfoods formula is ACTUALLY important to me. I looked up ASTRAGALUS ROOT because I had NO IDEA what it is or does. And I thought I'd share...because knowledge is power and I encourage ALL of my clients to read food labels...so duuhhhhhh, why don't I do it more often!?!?! 💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️💁🏽♀️ so here ya go.....
WHAT'S IN MY SUPERFOODS!?!?! One of the ingredients is ASTRAGALUS ROOT
And here's why I appreciate that it's already in my shake....
#1 its an adaptogen. Which means it able to change its function depending on the needs of the body...its also an immunity enhancer. Which makes sense because I RARELY get sick...so thanks root!!! 😉👌🏼
#2 Also good for heart health and helps lower cholesterol levels. 👌🏼
#3 reduces stress...yea I'm pretty chill...unless I'm doing the laundry 😂👌🏼
#4 reduces sleep issues. 👌🏼mmmmmmm sleep 😴😴
#5 anti aging properties. 👌🏼 yes I'm 35. But I'm gonna try to pull off 25 for as long as I can. 😘 And drinking this super foods smoothie over the last 5 years has helped there's no doubt about that!!! I mean ya'll saw my BEFORE pic. Right!?!?!?

Love Letter to Myself
I asked Eddie over the new year in what way could I become a better wife, Coach, Instructor, Friend and person.....Because if there's one thing I want to become this year , it's BETTER. So his response was ..."realize you are already awesome."
I shot him down so fast when he told me that... with...."thanks but what can I ACTUALLY WORK ON.?!?!"
It's not really hitting me until now what he meant by that. Am I living for the future or in THIS MOMENT? Am I Truly appreciating what I've accomplished so far!? And MAYBE giving myself more credit is that missing piece for me???? I always thought recognition of yourself as a very conceited thing, but is it!?!??! If I wasn't me but a friend of mine, I would shout Sarah out quite a bit .... I would tell her she's freaking crushing it. I would tell her that her strength on the inside matches her strength on the outside and I am inspired by her. EVERYDAY. I would tell her I love her and despite her broken home and heartache she grew up in, she did not let the word VICTIM become her. Even on the days it's hard. She looks for the good in people. She loves them. She wants the best for them. She also makes the best PUPPY CHOW I've ever had. Yea.....when I think about it, I'm pretty blessed to know and also be Sarah.
I didn't mean for this post to be a love letter to my self. But hey, tbh it feels pretty good and I'd recommend for you to do it it too. Step outside yourself. Look at the love you bring to this world... Isn't that enough to love yourself back? I think it is. 💓💕💓 #mindsetreset #transform2k19
Detox Cookies
Even on a detox....can I still have cookies!?!??!?! Ummmm heck yasssss!!!! ✊🏼✊🏼✊🏼
Mix with a fork....
1 banana
2 tbs almond butter
1 serving vegan vanilla superfoods blend
.
Divide into 4 mini cookie servings
Freeze for 1 hour
.
So.so.so. good. Eddie actually ate a few too!#diaryofmydetox #transform2k19
Who Dis?
New mindset....who dis?! 💁🏽♀️ Remember your new life will cost you your old one. New habits to replace old ones. I'm still transforming daily and I know it takes work but replacing new and better ways is ALWAYS worth it. So take a look at the life you want. It won't happen over night but it WILL happen when you are consistent.
Think about the areas of your life that can improve and focus on one area at a time...starting with mindset. Here's a few tricks that have helped me along the way....
💁🏽♀️Audiobooks on personal development and growth on your way to work or first thing every morning
💁🏽♀️Hang out with New positive friends who uplift you rather than gossip.
💁🏽♀️A health plan with your fitness and nutrition to help set you up for success
💁🏽♀️Getting more sleep! Keep your phone out of your bedroom. It will help 👌🏼😉
💁🏽♀️Gratitude journal to remember what you have and not take it for granted
.
Never underestimate the power of a strong mind. You never have to hold yourself back again when you are mentally powerful!!!! Lets crush it!!!!#transform2k19
