I Wish...
I hear ya loud and clear....
"I wish I had your body."
"I wish I had your motivation."
"I wish I liked vegetables."
"I wish...I wish...I wish..."
Listen guys I will tell you all day everyday that your wishing won't get you anywhere. What you have to ask is "Do I WANT this bad enough?"
And I'm not talking about abs here...even though I posted this to get your attention....Because deep down this is NOT about the physical appearance. TRUE health is about how healthy your body is on the INSIDE.
Everyone has different shapes and sizes and we ALL need to embrace and LOVE what we have NOW because if we AREN'T grateful for what we CAN DO in this moment, then we will NEVER be happy whether we achieve results or not.
So this is my challenge to you...write in a journal daily about what you love about you and WHY you CHOOSE to love your body with positive self talk, better nutrition(80% clean, bc I still have my bagel or π and I think you should too) and donβt forget exercise! Even if it's a 10 min walk, squats in place or wall push ups. Just start somewhere. If we don't love who we are now, then how do we expect to get ANYWHERE BETTER TOMORROW?!?! So love yourself. In this moment. RIGHT NOW. Because you deserve love. And yourself shouldn't have to wait any longer for it. π

Don't Stay Stuck
Just because you are stuck now does NOT mean you have to stay there.
I remember as a kid I was told to go the corner... ALOT. So with my nose in the corner and told to stay quiet I would stand there and think I'll show them!!!!! So when my time was up I would say "NO. I'M STAYING HERE!!!!" ....I THOUGHT I was showing my parents that I WAS THE BOSS. And I would stay where I wanted....even though I DID NOT want to stay there. It's so funny how even as an adult I would STILL do that because when shown a BETTER WAY I would repeatedly say NO....I'M GONNA STAY HERE, WHERE I'M ANGRY AND UNHAPPY!!!!!!
.
Even up to 5 years ago guys...this was me.......
ππ½ββοΈI teach soooooo many classes this week, I'm eating fruit loops every night...
.
ππ½ββοΈI have an eating disorder(that I would never share with you) and I abuse the scale constantly. If I go over 112 then I starve myself for a day ...or 3 ...until I get that number went back down.
.
ππ½ββοΈYea, I workout...I teach fitness classes! That's my workout too....
.
ππ½ββοΈ"Online jobs" are just pyramid schemes...so, thank you NEXT.
Sarah now...
ππΌI now use supplements to give me the energy I need. I also eat 80% clean and I feel amazing because I use my food as fuel for healing, not poisoning, my body.
.
ππΌI no longer abuse a scale and I am happy with what my body can do physically. I now measure my success by my consistency with workouts and healthy eating.
.
ππΌMy workouts are for ME and I prefer to do them at home on MY time. I still teach classes but when I do it's for my students. It's THEIR time and I don't push myself so hard that I'm not able to pay attention to everyone in the room.
.
ππΌYep, I joined one of those ONLINE COMPANIES and I can tell you that its π―% changed my life in every way. My income has increased, my health is better and my relationships have improved and I've helped others create an awesome life.
Looking back my CORNER was safe, because it was familiar but it didn't allow me to grow or even move forward in SO MANY AREAS of my life. Don't put yourself in the corner. Step out and do something AMAZING for yourself. πππΌ
FEATURED OUTFIT
Let's Talk
I post these pics to YES hopefully inspire you to get up, move in a way that challenges you but also to help you understand that it's OK to have a few treats here and there(lets be real, I had 2 glasses of wine, popcorn and pizza for dinner last night...but I'm real, it happens)ππ½ββοΈππ½ββοΈππ½ββοΈ
Listen babe, you don't have to be EXTREME when it comes to your health, but you DO have to CARE about HOW you talk to yourself, HOW you exercise and HOW you heal your body with nutrition.
If you want to talk about what's changed my life, lets have a conversation because I want EVERYONE to feel this good....and yes enjoy their pizza too ππΌ πππ

Done
The sooner you realize your worth, the sooner others might too...and even if they don't, it's gonna be ahhhh- iiighhtt.
I recently did a thing that I was putting off...for awhile. I sooo wanted approval, acceptance, recognition and love and when I finally realized I needed to MOVE FORWARD and STOP WAITING for this to happen I had a HUGE weight lifted off of my shoulders. I had no idea of the prison I had built because I placed SO MUCH VALUE on what someone thought of me.
Guys, I don't have it all figured out but what I have found is I FINALLY feel worthy of close friendships & an amazing life because I am DONE trying to win approval!
I will never be everyone's cuppa tea. And thatβs OHHH KAYYYYY. Like really ok. I mean really, How selfish am I for trying to be EVERYONE'S Friend!?!? Like really, when I think about it...is that the most selfish thing!?! ππ½ββοΈ like ever!!?!?! YEP. Wanting approval....and from EVERYONE!?!? C'mon Sarah. Now there's some deep rooted issues that I needed to RELEEEAAAASE!!!!βπΌ
I know I'm not the only one that thinks this way so here's what's helped me that might help you too...
#1 Stop putting others on a pedestal because you may NEVER feel a part of their world.
#2 VALUE your TRUE friends. They are the ones that VALUE you too. Love them hard and tell them how much you love and appreciate them. Often.
#3 Dive into personal development and find time to fill YOUR CUP. Because no -one likes ya when your judgey π€£ππΌ
#4 Forgive yourself and MOVE ON. We ALL have times we wish things coulda been different. Leave the past in the past, otherwise moving forward never comes.
Thanks for hearing me out. Love and be loved today and always friends. πππ
Be Your Own Success Story
"I wanted to stop hearing & reading about others success and instead, step up to be my OWN success story"....can you relate to that!?!?!!
I mean of course, YESSSSSS, I'm excited for others success but my inner mean girl sometimes stops me to compare....then I have to regroup, stay in my lane and push forward on MY goals!!!! I'm not going to let anyone stop me from becoming my best me.... especially myself!!!!!! I AM enough. And I'm freakin' recognizing myself for this PUSH FORWARD!!!!!

Choose Your Family
They say you can't choose your family but I'm here to say you CAN.
And to be honest, without these people here I wouldn't still be in this Coaching biz.
Because yes, it's hard to step outside your comfort zone.
It's hard to find your voice.
It's hard to do something different and not have the support of the people you thought had your back.
But what I learned from my friends is that the best way to predict your future is to CREATE it, and you do that surrounded by people you LOVE. π
You don't try to FIND time for the right people, you MAKE time, and they MAKE time for you. That's REAL friendship guys.
Coming from a people pleasing mentality that's a HARD thing to understand but I finally realized this truth. That's what OUR tribe has taught me and I'm forever grateful. π
Guys thanks for being there for me and just know I'm here for YOU too. ALWAYS.π
We Became Coaches
Yes, I'm a part of a TEAM, but within that TEAM we are ALL individuals who need recognition for the hard work we ALL have accomplished. While some won't "get" why this business is SO important to me, I also understand the need and the WANT for a better way and I'm so glad I found my people that "get" itπππ and heck ya I spoiled em' with cool swag!!!!π
Listen guys, We are Just like everyone else.......
We wanted a job where we could share our passion for health, fitness, nutrition and mindset.....
ππ½ββοΈSo we became Coaches.
We wanted to find a tribe of people who wanted to change the world together.....
ππ½ββοΈSo we became Coaches.
We NEEDED a community of people who have each other's backs. No matter what......
ππ½ββοΈSo we became Coaches.
We wanted a job where we were celebrated and we felt appreciated.....
ππ½ββοΈSo we became Coaches.
We wanted a job where our paychecks directly reflected the amount of lives we changed and when we worked hard enough we could have the freedom we only dreamed of.....
ππ½ββοΈSo we became Coaches.
We are the dreamers, doers and life changers, and to me, Coaching truly is the best job there is.
If you have ever considered this I'm hosting a Virtual Open House at the end of this month. If you have an hour free I'd love to share more. Because this is too good NOT to share with what we have launching!!!! (Fill out this form to inquire about becoming an Online Health Coach/ Fit-Influencer if ya want to chat!.)
You Are Enough
We all learn differently, but put in the effort and you CAN overcome. When I was in grade school I remember going to a private class because I was told I had hearing issues. Truth be told I had PAYING ATTENTION issues. π
It's something I've struggled with my whole life, but like I always say our struggle IS our strength because we are the fighters and we put in the effort to work harder and yes we may see more failures than others but that doesn't stop us from trying a new way to learn and succeed.
Whenever you feel like you AREN'T enough or you are NEVER going to hit that goal I want you to remember that the fact you ARE working harder shows that you are more resilient than you think! Always remember effort and hard work will run laps around talented lazy people.
Entrepreneurs see this EVERYDAY so if you want to know if you have what it takes then ask yourself...."Do I give up easily or do I try and fail forward day after day!!?!?!" And if you find yourself giving up then stop, regroup and ask yourself is this important to me enough to show up for? And WHY is this important!? If I don't do this, where will I be in 5 years? If I Do show up for this then where will this consistency take me in 5 years? Is it worth it?!?!?.........Well only you can answer that and I hope you NEVER again look at your disability or weakness as something holding you back. Because it's not. #youareenough
You Are in Control
Know this...
>>>You are in control<<
You are in control of your thoughts, actions and results.
And know THIS even more...
>>>failure is a HUGE part of this process<<<<<
I hope you take time to push yourself outside your comfort zone so much that you fail and you embrace that failure because you KNOW deep down that failure will help you become THAT PERSON who eventually overcomes your struggle.
Don't run from what's hard or "scary" ....face it head on. Face the fear and you will find your control and you will also find your BEST self looking back at you in the mirror telling you......"Iβm so glad you didn't give up on us."
