Show Up

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is SHOW UP.....

I started teaching locally again 5 weeks ago and my numbers have gone from 20 and a few less week after week and tonight down to 2...almost 3 until someone realized it was me teaching instead of someone else and she left.....While old Sarah might have let this get to her & think she's not a good instructor I quickly remember WHY I do this. And WHY I'm so so GRATEFUL I GET to do this. I GET to show up for those that WANT my help. Whether its 2, 20 or 200....everyONE matters. This isn't about me. It's about giving people enough encouragement to let them know they can do this too. 

And tonight I'm so so grateful that Penny and Jane decided that their health was important to them and I'm grateful that they wanted to spend that time getting healthier with me.

Sometimes the hardest thing to do is show up, but trust me, you are worth it. And so is your instructor. 💕

Grow to Go

It's not a secret. Sweat and dedicated work is what it takes to live the life you want. We are either ACCEPTING life the way it is OR we are leading our life to WHERE we want it to go. So that gives you 2 options..... If you don't want to work harder, then STOP complaining for what you aren't willing to work for (ohhhhh snap...)
.
.
ORRRRRRRR you can START your life down a new path and create a system for success. If you choose plan B, then reach out to people who HAVE achieved what you want, because if you are always the most driven person in the room...then you are in the wrong room.

Becoming better at anything you have to start humbled and willing to learn. Trust me, I've tried doing it in my own...it got me no-where and bitter and envious of those more successful than me....yea I know, a total B attitude 💁🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️ But ya live and learn. 

So choose where you want your life to be, but always remember you will only GO as long as you continue to GROW 👩‍🏫🔝

Stop Lying

My best advice....
STOP LYING TO YOURSELF!!! 

Guys, I'm not gonna sugar coat anything. Some of us need to hear it....including me! Like for realsssss, it wasn’t until I talked myself INTO the things I was scared to do when I finally realized I COULD do anything. I'm no different than the rock stars I look up to....& neither are you!!!!! So why don't we have a REAL talk & see where it takes us?...it could offend us, or it could make us realize that we have 2 choices > continue to defend our excuses > or face the truth & take action!!!! Because is this you...

"I could never do what you do." 
What's that, sweat!? And eat 80% clean? Um yes, you could and you WOULD if you valued your life enough. 

"I don't have time or the motivation." 
No, you chose not to do what you need to do. You were using screen time for at least 30 min today, couldn't you have exercised or meal prepped instead?!

"I'm too old." It's not age darling. It's your attitude. Did you know there are 90 year olds that go back to school or start a business, workout daily, go parachuting & fall in love, again!?!?! Yea, bc you are NEVER too old. For anything!!!!!

"I'm not (insert your "want" here; pretty, handsome, smart, fit, healthy....etc. )ENOUGH. 
This is the BIGGEST LIE OF ALL!!!!! Instead, I have to ask you this..... "WHY is it that you think you aren't "enough"? Was it a negative person who made you feel less than what you are? What age were you? Why was it that impressionable? And why you do you STILL DECIDE to give them power over you? Haven't you suffered ENOUGH? Don't you want better for your life? If the answer is yes then the opinions of others do not matter. When you start to live a better life, the bad people will not support you, which makes it easier for you to BYE FELICIA that mess 💁🏽‍♀️& good news, that opens you up to more positive, supportive people.

If you want better, then DO BETTER. Good things WILL happen not TO you, but FOR you. Sure struggles might arise too but you will rise ABOVE them. All you gotta do is believe you are & always have been ENOUGH to take hold of this better life. I believe in you. Now go after it!!!!!!

The 5 Ws

Hey fit-girl....Do you ever ask yourself the 5 W's? 💁🏽‍♀️
🤔WHO do I want to become & WHO can help me achieve this?

🤔WHAT do I need to do daily to become that person?

🤔WHERE can I go to learn (& do) more?

🤔WHEN am I going to do these activities daily?

🤔WHY do I want to do this?

I remember thinking back on these W's when I started this Online Fit-preneur Gig 5 years ago. I was very clear on my answers and I am STILL here because I took ACTION on these questions. Success won't happen overnight, but where will you be in 5 years? The real question is WHERE DO YOU WANT TO BE? I'm asking because if you need help getting there, then lets talk. I'm training 10 new people in May who want MORE. If you are curious Fill out my Fit-Influencer Application.

WARNING: Side effects may include that we become besties for life, travel together & you become healthier, happier and help so many others do the same. 💕💕💕

I See You and I Love You

I see you and I love you girl.

You don't have confidence because deep down you felt love wasn't real. 
You said at the age of 12 you wish you would die before you reached 40 because of the fighting and hate and lies in your house was not worth living through if that's what "growing up" meant. 

I see you, and I love you, girl.

You only thought love was given to you if you acted a certain way, so you lowered your standards and allowed negative people to control you. 

I see you and I love you, girl. 

You were also told you were getting fat by a teacher that then developed into an eating disorder that lasted over a decade.

I see you, and I love you girl because without going through those struggles I would have never found my strength and WANT for a better life. So thank you for not giving up on me. Without you, I would not be where I am today. I'm proud of us for being here together today, because girl we are just getting started 💕 💕💕

Celebration, Not Punishment

My journey to self love and acceptance started with this sentence. I might not have believed it but I wanted to. It took over a decade to get here now and I'm SO HAPPY I didn't give up on myself. My tips....

#1 throw out the scale if you are abusing it.

#2 food journal EVERYTHING. When you binge there's actually an underlying issue that you aren't addressing. Toxic relationship or job maybe? Time to confront it, and NOT turn to food. Its hard, yea, but the alternative is not worth a lifetime of self hate, resentment & fear.

#3 Find support. Connect with those who have gone through those struggles. Loneliness and hiding IS NOT the way to go. There's help, but you have to want change ENOUGH to take action on it.

If you need support, I'm always here 💕💕💕

Pre-Workout Clothes

Who else wears their workout clothes HOURS before they are gonna workout? 💁🏽‍♀️My Zumba class isn't for another 6 hours but hey, might as well build the excitement now. 🤣👌🏼 I would so the same thing all through HS...wear my school clothes the night before. My motto then and now...If I can get extra sleep out of it, then yes it IS WORTH IT. 👌🏼

Systems > Goals

Goals are great but systems are better. ✅✅✅Listen, for YEARS I had goals of...
✅overcoming my sugar addiction & my starving/bingeing...
✅wanting to learning to eat for fuel and not as a reward or punishment. 
I also had goals of....
✅becoming my own boss some day, 
✅NOT overworked teaching a bajillion fitness classes that were killing my joints, 
✅NOT living paycheck to paycheck...the list goes on....
and I had NOTEBOOKS. Y'ALL, NOTE.BOOKS. FILLED OF THOSE DREAMS ...FOR YEARS. 

Ya see, I have always been a dreamer, but always had my fear hold me back, until one day I was like "SCREW THIS, I'm going for it....and somebody PLEASE SHOW ME HOOOWWWWWWW!!!!" .... Enter this little 'Virtual Fit Club' <3 it was 100% what I was looking for. Could I have done this on MY OWN!?!??!! I truly believe NO, because, Listen guys, I had these Goals FOR YEARS.....but did I have the DAILY HABITS TO REACH SUCCESS!?!?!? NOPE. So, I jumped in. I learned and took action, learned from my mistakes, and repeat, repeat repeat. 

These habits were created because I FOLLOW a system of success. If you don't have a system you don't have a path. Are you feeling lost, because I feel ya, and it sucks to feel that way.😭 But don't give up. DON'T EVER GIVE UP. Even if ya don't join me, I encourage you to reach out to someone to help you, guide you and NOT give up on you. Keep your goals close, but your mentors closer. They have a system that just might be what you need too. 💕You got this babe!!!!!!
