We All Suck

Yep, you're going to suck...but don't we all!?!?🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️🤷🏽‍♀️ I know I do at times. Embracing failure and showing up is what keeps me going through the hard times. 😳👌🏼

Most of what we do are habits created over time, so while you might think some people are just more "motivated" to do something it's because to them it is habit or routine.

Just like brushing your teeth. You wouldn't forget on a daily basis because we have created a daily routine for brushing. We find it easy and a must do habit. Right!?!?(well hopefully 🤣)

So in order to be that TYPE of person you want to become you must ACT as in a way that person already exists. Yes, change is hard and developing a routine is hard, but YES it becomes easier as that good habit is formed.

🌺Make the environment for change easier for you.
🌺Make your circle more supportive of this posotive change. 🌺Envision who you are and how you feel when this routine is performed 10, 50, 100 times.
🌺And lastly forgive yourself for being a beginner!!!!!! Don't dount yourself for doing something a FIRST TIME (or even a first hundred times!). It takes 10,000 hours to master ONE THING. 😳 I read that once, so it just be true😂

And yes, We ALL have FIRST times!!! So go and do that thing that makes you stronger, healthier wealthier, smarter or kinder and more grateful. EVERYDAY. 🌺 and if ya need a supporter, I'm just a message away😘

Backlash

Ahhhh, this quote spoke to my soul! If you are a "giver" then you know what this post means and if you are a "taker" then ya need to stop being a butthead 🤣👌🏼

From my own experience and from working with enough people, I have found that our "friend " group will change as we treat ourself better. And dude, it's TOTALLY OK. As your life gets better some people will encourage, support and want to change for the better too....or they won't. That's the hard part of being a dreamer with goals. You WILL experience the backlash, but don't worry, there is community and love and Waaaayyyyy more love and support on the other end. So keep going 💕💕💕

On the Mend

Happy Saturday! Thanks for all the sweet messages and comments guys. I think we all have times in our lives where things don't go right but those times are there to remind us that when things DO go right we can recognize the blessing it truly is and not take our life for granted. This is one of those times.

My back is feeling a bit better. I followed a lot of the advice you all gave for a thrown out/sprain back. Iced first 24 hours then switched to heat. The ibuprofen and oils really helped quite a bit too.

I've decided I'm going to take a full 10 days off and resume my program and classes next Monday just to be safe. I will add in light stretching in a few days. Thanks again for your messages. It means a lot. 💕 Also this pic is from earlier this week. I ain't looking like this now 🤣 Maybe I'll shower later before the next pic 🤷🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

Share Your Dreams!

In case you needed that reminder today. Here it is.

Btw, who is your bestie who you share dreams & goals with?!? If you don't have one 👀 LOOK FOR ONE👀. I have found that if I share my goals with others I am more likely to stay true to my word, because yes, I can break promises to myself in secret alllll dayyyyy, errday. Buuut if someone else knows then it's out there. My story is told and my vision is cast. Now all I have to do is show up for it.

I emailed Eddie my next dream because I want to see it happen. It's been on my mind for the past 7 years and I think it's time to take action on it. Tbh, it's more than past time🤦🏽‍♀️

So, What's been on your mind lately?! If you need a buddy to share hopes and dreams with, then reach out anytime. I'm a supporter of those who allow themselves to dream, because I get it. It's hard to share what you want because these thoughts ALWAYS arise......"Am I being selfish?" ..."would people actually WANT this from me?"...."Will I see this to fruition?"..."What if I fail?"......"This is already done, why would people want this from me?"...

Listen babe, those are the wrong questions to ask. You must first ask...."When I do this & it's successful what will that look like for myself and for others?" ..."Would it solve problems?"... "Would it bring about positive change?..."Would I regret not going after this?" ..."If not now, then WHEN?"

Change is hard, but regret is harder. So if you needed this push today, then take this as a sign. YOUR TIME IS NOW, AND YOU SOOOO GOT THIS!!!!!🙌🙌🙌🙌

Ouuuuuuch

Not a good rester or take it easy kinda gal. So prayers are appreciated 😭🙏

I threw out my back last night sitting on a swivel chair reaching for something on the ground. Like seriously, what!?!?! I was in a lot of pain last night, then the cat was starting to throw up on our bed so I moved so fast I must have aggravated it even more. Thanks Mai Kitty(still love her tho)...

I now can't move without pain and from everything I read on a sprained back I'm pretty sure I need to rest for at least a week.😭😭😭 so that means no Zumba class tomorrow. I'm so sorry to my local peeps, I will plan on having the Friday class moved to November and will start our #firstfridayfitness series then.😨

Ugggghhhhh, anyone else thrown out their back!?!? I'm open to suggestions, right now I will be icing it the first 12 hours then switching back and forth to a heating pad and taking a hot epson salt bath. And of course my oils are helping with the pain. 👌🏼
💁🏽‍♀️So what will Sarah do with her time!?! Well expect some thoughts from my personal development audiobooks, because Ima need it! 💕😳

Excited for Spinach!!

"I'm so excited about spinach!!!!" Said by probably like 5 ppl. 🤣

Truth...I say veggies are great for you.

True-er truth......I don't eat enough of them.🤷🏽‍♀️

Soooo I'd like to hear from you!!!!! What's a fit tip that's helped you get a little healthier!?!!? Ya mind sharing!?!? I need some new ideas to share in my Virtual Health Club!!!! 😘😘😘

For me I KNOW I needed more greens and I have been getting veggies in from our hello fresh dinners but according to my portions, I need another serving soooooooo thanks to my fellow fit girl Candace(thanks boo), she inspired me to get a huge bag of spinach and fill up a sandwich bag...I filled up 13 and I'm going to freeze them and add them to my superfoods smoothies that I have for lunch everyday.

I'm saying all this to tell you if a lazy fitgirl like myself can do this, then so can you!!!!! Living healthy, going after goals, doing all the things means you got to STOP being lazy for just a few minutes, that way you can be lazy later....I mean, why else do ya think I make a shake everyday(only 1 dish yall.👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼 ) #superfoodsforthewin #virtualbootcamp #absaremadeinthekitchen

N.O.Y.B.

Heyyyyy, just your friendly reminder that the opinions that others have about you is none of YOUR business. The moment I stopped caring what other people thought the more quickly I realized I was giving away ALL of my power over to being liked and approved of. Screw that! ❌

Those that judge me will judge me regardless of what I do or don't do. This was a hard truth for me to accept because YES, the MORE you put yourself out there the MORE you will be judged....

And when GOOD things happened to me I started to see certain people around me change.......some people loved and supported me but some did NOT. I was blocked on social media by more than a few "friends" and some girls just stopped inviting me to their nights out....and I've come to find that they didn't like me not because of anything I did or didn't do but because they resented me. And I know this because I used to have that mindset too.

My resentment & jealousy of others was just a way for me to hide in the lies that I was a victim. And when you are victim you can only blame others and not take responsibility for a better life. Well that JUST PLAIN SUCKS.😨

So if you are jelly of someone busting their butt for a healthier,wealthier and happier then HUSH THAT INNER MEANIE & go congratulate them!!!! And if you want that kinda life. ASK.THEM.HOW. For reals. There is so so much personal development, online training, google, YouTube.....so many people are offering up HOW.👌🏼 Put your excuses aside and do something good for YOU. #spreadlovenothate #positivethinking #bethechangeyouwanttosee

Testing My Limits

Tomorrow I am signing up for a program that's going to test my limits, and push me. ALOT. And I'm going to share my progress as I go and I WILL do this for ME whether or not you join me.💁🏽‍♀️ BUT, I wouldn't be good at my job if I was here to just show off what I can accomplish. ❌That's NOT why I share my journey. ❌

I share it FOR YOU. And YES, I invite you because I want YOU to feel as good as I do because I am healthier at 35 than I ever was in my 20's. I'm not controlled by food anymore. I'm not obsessed about the scale and I now workout the RIGHT way and it's because I joined a Virtual Health Club a few years ago.

So how bout it?!? Yes this a "YOU SHOULD JOIN ME" type post 🤣👌🏼 So if you want to get healthier, have a positive support team and confront emotional eating, or have more confidence and more strength or flexibility then fill out my Virtual Health Club Application & let's have a convo to see if this program is right for you. 😘💕 You only have one body, Let's treat it RIGHT. 👌🏼

Work Isn't Selfish

You will never be successful unless you put in the work and sometimes that work seems selfish. BUT IT'S NOT.

If you want change sometimes it doesn't always come from an EXCITEMENT about better things....it comes from pain, heartache, anger, sorrow and defeat. Whatever it is that is DRIVING you to get the heck moving...USE IT. Put in the time and work to grow, to learn & to fail forward!!!!

I've been driven to change because I was inspired...but I've also been driven to change because of feelings of unworthiness...but one thing stays the same...if I want to change then I MUST change my behaviors. I must DECIDE to show up, even when I don't want to and I MUST do this FOR ME and not let the opinions or agendas of others get in my way. I gotta get selfish(in a good way)

It's tough guys, but it's SO doable. Don't give up. Hurdles WILL come but if you stand up to the hard then trust me, you will look back with NO REGRETS. #yougotthis #strongereveryday

A Little Bit of Hope

🙏A little bit of hope is all you need. 🙏

5 1/2 years ago I had a dream of joining what I thought was a cult🤣 but hey, these people online seemed happy and healthy and building dreams, so I thought...mayyyyyybe I could TRY🤔😬🤷🏽‍♀️

Eddie said ...."yea I've heard of this company, seems legit, go for it!" And just that little bit of hope was all I needed to allow myself to dream enough to go for it. And seriously my skepticism went away just a few months in when it started growing. I was like .."HOLY CRAP. I found out how to make a REAL income doing what I love."

Fast forward a few years and Eddie quit his job to come on board to help me build this & now he's building his dream of becoming a (paid) TWITCH streamer. And y'all he's making his dreams come true too 😍😭😍

Everyone has a season in life when all they need is a little bit of hope and support from someone they love. If Eddie wouldn't have given me the hope to dream I can't say we would be where we are at. But I think we would have still been living paycheck to paycheck in our one bedroom apartment while we both worked long hours apart from each other. That ain't cool. And guys, THERE IS A BETTER WAY.

Seriously, f your dream is to also help with your bills or maybe it's to live life on your own terms then let's talk. If you don't have that support yet, then YES let's STILL talk because I can give you that belief before you see it in yourself. Fill out my FIT-Influencer/Coach Application here

Your dreams are just as important as ours. 💕💕💕
