The Minute You Decide
The minute you make the decision to start living the life you want rather than the life others want for you is the moment you are on the RIGHT path.
If I would have told 29 year old Sarah that this would be her life in 10 years I would said .."yea....that'd be nice". I know because I said that!!!! Sarcastically even!!!
I was so scared to step outside the norm so I watched others have success and thought...yea that'd be nice" & continued to come up with reasons why I COULDN'T do what they did.
All I could hear was my own doubts and self limiting beliefs and it came out in the form of panic attacks, nail biting, binge eating and jealousy.
So what changed in me? Well, a bit of both inspiration for a better life and desperation to not repeat the past.
So I tried something new. I tried something that others scoffed at and said would NEVER work.
I realized I was living by the direction of people that weren't dreamers and do-ers.
They were complainers and talked negatively about others. They CHOSE to live in chaos and not seek help & opportunity and decided to give up before really trying.
That was who I was surrounded by, because that's who I was.
Until I said, MAYBE there's a better way....
Instead of judging, what if I learned?
Instead of quitting, what if I tried?
Instead of complaining, what if I asked for help?
Sometimes you have to give yourself compassion for who you are in hard moments so that you can take a few breaths and ask yourself those questions.
I share all this to not say I have it all figured out, but to offer help in any of these areas.
I have found many circles of supportive friends who ARE dreamers and doers who DO cheer each other on and are also willing to ask for help when needed.
You never have to feel stuck because I want you to know I am here to help.
My February group is called "I AM ENOUGH". Lean in and learn WITH me. Life is meant to be LOVED. Not just lived.

The Freedom You Want
THE ROUTINE WILL GIVE YOU THE FREEDOM YOU WANT.
That was today's takeaway from my mindset group, & it couldn't be more right.
I leave for the dance fitness cruise in 2 days (so yes, expect more beach pics), and I could have never been able to "ask off work" or afford to do this when I was a fitness instructor.
While I had multiple jobs at many gyms, I hadn't developed a ROUTINE for building a real business.
I knew there was a better way & trying to do it all on my own was not getting me anywhere. I had to swallow my pride, step outside my comfort zone, and ASK FOR HELP.
I sought out this "Online Coaching" job because I wanted to offer MORE & eventually have the freedom to work where I want, when I want, and with who I want.
Little did I know that this would help me heal my own mind & body, too.
I share with you because maybe you have watched me do this, and you have thought it might work for you too but you don’t know where to start or you think you have to have confidence before you try.
I felt the same way, but you don't have to do this alone either.
I have had some one on one calls this week with my teammates & I am so proud of the systems we have in place.
I've seen some brand new Coaches have even quicker success than I had when I started, and I'm so freaking excited for them! So that's how I know this works!!
One of my HUGE goals this year is to help more fellow fitness instructors & trainers have more freedom from learning & implementing our Online Coaching Business Routines!
I want more of my teammates to join these epic trips & have the freedom to travel, too.
If you want to help more people with real holistic health routines & learn & earn as you go, then fill out the Virtual Health Club form
I will teach you EVERYTHING you need to know
I'll be in touch after I get back!!

Here are my wins bc I want to make sure that not only I CELEBRATE these wins, but my team mates celebrate their wins too!!
I can do 5 OVERHAND pull ups instead of 2 without stopping!!
I GAINED 3lbs of muscle
I completed yet another program proving that I and my girls Richelle, Catherine, Eva and Samantha are the type of women who can put their mind to something and GO AFTER IT!
I strengthened my mindset and completed our audiobooks SOUNDTRACKS UNF*** YOURSELF & DO THE WORK
I freaking enjoyed ALLLLL the foods this holiday through this challenge and had celebratory drinks and eats and made my puppy chow and didn't have ANY GUILT OR SHAME ABOUT IT! Big win in my book!

January 2023 Class Schedule
Adding to My Life
This Leg Day workout reminded me of how strong my legs actually are...and yes, I see some fat here, and LOVE that I have it!!!
I'm not changing my habits to "lean out" or even give up things.
This is about ADDING to my life....
Adding in more self love and embracing who I am and what my body can do.
I'm embracing who I am NOW and who I am becoming tomorrow.
I show my journey to remind you that a size or a certain shape shouldn't be the goal. True health is about how you feel about YOU.
I love that 80/20 life. I'm present, not perfect. This a big part of our challenge that starts January 9th.
What if you worked out bc you LOVED your body now?
What if you ate without guilt or shame?
What if you took a chance on YOU ?
This has helped me overcome so much in my life & I want you to experience this too.
My group starts January 9th. I'd love to be PRESENT OVER PERFECT with YOU too.
Let's chat babe

Puffy Self-Care
Puffy face from a 90 minute massage..and loving it!! What's your favorite self care practice that you do?! Or maybe something you want to start doing in 2023?
Btw, if you are near Auburn Indiana, I HIGHLY Recommend Tina Horton from "Shear Expressions" for a deep tissue massage! You will it!!
End of Week 3!
End of Week 3...officially 1/2 way through this! Pull-ups are still hard, but I did 3 full ones from a full hang... no kipping or momentum. I'd say that's a WIN! Remember that you never want to measure by JUST using a scale. You can celebrate non scale victories by celebrating..
celebrate How many plants you ate this week! On my program we aim for 30 different ones per week!).
celebrate How many nights we got of 8 hours sleep!
Celebrate the number of days we hit that 100 oz water goal!
celebrate your strength by measuring it weekly(like I'm doing with pull ups!). You could do length of plank or wall sit time or number of reps you can do with good form before stopping.
celebrate how many minutes you spent improving your mindset with podcasts or audiobooks.
Trust me, you MUST celebrate the journey bc even if a goal IS met, you might not ever feel proud, and YES, you deserve to feel proud of yourself!!!!
There's a few spots left for my January 9th group!!! Wanna chat!? Fill out my Virtual Health Club form here
