Don't Compare!
What I used to think...
It's only those type A, organized, know-exactly-what-they-want people who WILL have results and WILL be successful....( ya know, who I’m talkin bout....hard eye roll here)
What I found to be actual truth...
I needed to STOP comparing myself to them. I also had to STOP wanting to become them. I had to EMBRACE Who I am and find what works for ME.
At the end of the day, I'm not striving for THE BEST. instead I'm striving for MY best. And guys, that fulfills me.
So stop comparing yourself. Stop waiting for the perfect time to take care of you and START loving who you are EXACTLY where you are right now. If you love yourself today the right actions will follow tomorrow.
Today is workout 1/30 I did MY BEST with a BRAND new program and I'm pretty stoked about it.
I'm opening up registration for a new Group for a 2 month challenge(yup workouts, meal plans and supplements included) if you want in, let's talk ASAP!!!! November 1st is the deadline to get into this FINAL COUNTDOWN VIRTUAL HEALTH CLUB!!!!! if you are ready to lay a strong foundation for 2021 click here

Roger!!!
My heart is so happy. Remember that older man we found in the road from that horrific bike accident September 8th?? His name is Roger and he got home from the hospital just a few weeks ago and has surprised EVERYONE with how well he is doing. Its a miracle that he's here with us and I can't thank you all enough for the prayers you have said for him. Thank you all. Its been amazing to see him and talk to him and his beautiful and kind and loving family. I need more water from all the happy tears.
Virtual 5k
#flashbackfriday to the last time I ran a 5k! 2014!!!!!!....holy wow!!! Pretty sure I was playing air guitar at this point of the run When was the last 5k you ran?!?!?
Monday I start a new Virtual 5k & strength training program. Am I nervous?! Yup, but I'm excited to take on this new challenge....& I'm learning from a track & field Olympian!!! And I KNOW my form will improve so why not!?!?!
I am so grateful our company keeps coming out with brand new programs with no repeat workouts. I never get bored. This is my LAST call to start this program with me. Are you in my group yet?!? (Virtual Health Club application here) Because you know you're invited, right!?
The Perfect Time
So ya wanna know when the PERFECT time is to start is?!
It's NOT the 10,000th time you thought about it.
It's NOT when you look in the mirror and think negative thoughts about yourself.
It's NOT because someone told you to do it or made you feel guilty.
Its NOT waiting for the next birthday wedding or year.
Tbh the perfect time is NOT The perfect time. It's usually the busiest and hardest time of your life because it’s when you become more resilient and willing to do something different because you feel there is no other option. And at this point you do NOT want to repeat the last 1, 5 or even 10 years.... ya feel me?!?? Because that's when I started.
If you struggle with being paralyzed by perfection and procrastination then babe..., I get it...that's so me too...but this is a journey and I NEED HELP TOO!!!!! I'm NOT perfect.. I fall short.. urrrr... hellleerrr we ALL do.
That's why I follow a system for success . And nope, I DON'T follow it perfectly. But I know the secret sauce is not a secret. Its obvious and it happens when I have the balls to show up(pardon my balls)
But seriously if ya wanna fail forward in this messy but fun life together then I would love to chat because I'm here to help. (Que the air traffic controls saying "RIGHT HERE").
My belief in what you can accomplish is irrelevant, because at the end of the day YOUR OWN mindset about yourself is what matters most...and your mindset will say yes, or not right now(which usually just means never).
So do yourself a favor. Say YES to you. I have a FINAL COUNTDOWN Virtual Health Club starting November 1st... Should I save you a spot? Because yup, you matter, your health and happiness matter so let's improve ourselves TOGETHER.
Shine Bright
Confidence comes from learning and doing new things & refusing to accept judgment from others.
At the end of the day you are the only one to brighten or dull your own light. No one has that power over you. NO-ONE. So shine bright.
The RIGHT people will encourage you, and don't you want to be surrounded by those that have MORE hope for a better today & brighter future anyhow?!

Wrong Kind of Healthy
Not your typical transformation but I want you to know that binge eating and overtraining is common among a LOT OF fitness instructors and personal trainers so you aren't alone.
I remember in 2014 joining a cleanse group that cost me $400 per month and I starved my body even more than ever. I was allowed 2 shakes and one meal per day. Well after 2 months of adding to my thinking of "starvation= healthy" I said I can't keep doing this.
And no, it wasn't an easy transition but I had to STOP thinking food was bad and I had to start thinking food is fuel and medicine for my body.
Knowledge is power, educate yourself. Be skeptical. Do your research and really ask yourself, do I FEEL good?! Is my body stronger or weaker because of what I've eaten and how I've trained?! Because if it’s not it’s time to yell PIVOT & change your story. Your body deserves to be fueled right and given permission for rest days. So love it, and trust me, it will love you back #tranformationtuesday #bingeeating #foodismedicine #nomorediets
What is VHC??
What the heck is the Virtual Health Club, Sarah!?!
For me....it was the answer to my prayers. FOR REALZ.
I needed this to combat my binge/emotional eating.
I needed this to have a supportive community who wanted to see me succeed.
I needed this so I could stop overtraining and eventually become my own boss.
I needed this to give me the confidence to say..."I'm worthy of my goals."
So I'm asking you....could this work for you too?!??!
If becoming stronger mentally, physically and emotionally is your goal then, yes, this can work for you.
If nutritional guidance is needed, this will help you.
If you need support from a tribe of people who ACTUALLY wanna see you succeed then....hey, let's hang.
If you need a platform and system to follow to help people reach their goals while you make money doing it(enter Coaching) This can help you too...
If you need ALL OF IT. Or a little of it, then yes, Let's talk.
Go here and we can chat a little more and no, PAST FAILURES do NOT determine your tomorrow. Today's choices is what makes your tomorrow better. #sweatwithsarah #thesweatlifewithsarah
Life is NOT hard. Death is.
Life is NOT hard. Death is.
I say it because 2020 has been hard. This weekend I'm attending my 3rd funeral in 10 months.
I will miss my friend Christa & the memories that COULD have been made. We joked about the awesome booty gains her sis was getting from working out with me & she couldn't wait till she got better to join us.
But tbh, she's gained more than a strong body. She's happy, cancer free and in heaven & I need to remember that we will see each other again.
She's taught me to be strong, to be kind and to have hope. The word HOPE was always around her. I think today that word means something a little different. I think she HOPES that we remember to have HOPE in ourselves, eachother & in God & it's followed by taking action & showing it by living a life of kindness and love to everyone because that's how Christa lived. I will miss you friend
The Struggle!
5am wake up
515am take Eddie to work( we had 1 car)
6am teach a morning class
930am another morning class or PT clients
Back home to nap and eat BOWLS of cereal
12-4pm floor trainer at the gym
430 pick up Eddie from work
530-830pm classes and/or PT clients
9pm starving & eating anything premade from costco we could just heat up.
This was my schedule before I decided to become an Online Coach...
THEN I decided to become an Online Coach and ADD that to my already INSANE schedule.
Tbh I have NO idea how I was able to fit it in....I just knew a few reasons WHY I wanted this to work....
I NEVER wanted to be away from Eddie that long ever again.
I wanted to STOP WORKING for places that didn't encourage me to become successful.
I wanted to have money to travel and spend MORE time with people I love.
Sooooo. Were the long hours worth it?
Was the struggle of living paycheck to paycheck worth it? Was not seeing Eddie worth it?
YES TO ALL THE ABOVE because if I didn't struggle ENOUGH I wouldn't have been driven ENOUGH to change my situation.
So whatever you are going through right now just know that you have 2 options. Quit. Or keep trying. Don't give up on what you want. And if you need a friend to give you the EXACT tools she used then I am here for you too.
Btw, I have a Coach Info session THIS SATURDAY. Do you want to it check out? Bc if you relate to my story at all there's a reason you are reading this part.
