I am all done what a wonderful journey this was!!

11/04/2023

There was a time when I was too scared to give this a try and who would of thought I will make such a journey of it and that I inspire other along the way and now they are on a much stronger journey.

It’s not easy posting about my journey but I learn to get out of my comfort zone and share my stories, struggles, progress, and celebrations most importantly I have grown to love it plus I surrounding myself in a stronger community who has the same goals and stories as I do..All they did was said YES! Of course I said YES and inspire others to say YES!

Give yourself the opportunity to say YES!!
Give yourself the opportunity to say YES I CAN!!
Give yourself the opportunity to become a BEGINNER!!

So December 5th 2022 was the year I got my fibroid surgery from the mid lower part of abdomen that I have to have a C-section so for 6 weeks no physical activity I had to be on a liquid diet I have to be on pain medication the whole nine yards..but in this photo in January 20th my bday vacation to Las Vegas in the pink that’s when I went back on my healthy supplements, having normal nutritional foods again, and doing physical activities such as my workouts again now this is my 4th month strong because before my surgery I was doing all of the things in my journey just like when I had epilepsy when I was a child I was told by different doctors I wasn’t able to do physical activities or have a normal childhood or adulthood I wish I can see those doctors and tell “Remember you said I wasn’t going to have a normal childhood and adulthood…I guess I proved you wrong”. At that time I went through minor health disorders and complications doesn’t mean it’s permanent by doing what I have been on my journey is what is getting stronger and to do better. I was 7 years old when the doctors told my mom that I wasn’t normal thank goodness my mom and I never listened to those doctors you would think that doctors should give you hope and inspiration instead you get restricted and a whole lot of CANTS.. and yet I trusted these doctors because I was a child but now I went to doctors who believed in me and gave me a second chance to improve on my health and those are doctors I thank everyday.

8 Weeks ago after I got clearance from recovering from surgery I started this program called Sure Thing..this program kept me strong mentally and physically but it gave me the strength to get back into work outs after 6 weeks of not between running and Orangetheory I manage to remain committed and yes balancing food that makes me feel great!! I had a tough battle ahead going through surgery but the graces of God and the Lord who put his blessed hands around me I was able to bounce back strong not only in my physical health journey but in my work journey as well I’m able to give the guest all the magic in the world that I’m blessed to do each day just so I put 100 percent into everything that I do. Me now 40 learning and living everyday I may come across some breadcrumbs but nothing I can’t face. Going through my surgey almost 4 months later isn’t half of the battle IT IS THE BATTLE as this very stage in my life I’m learning to put what is first and what is last.. my health, happiness, and my mindset is what it is important that brings me whole and peace. I said goodbye to toxicity, I said goodbye to negativity, I said goodbye to the haters and they naysayers they didn’t accomplish what I have done nor yet move mountains that I manage to climb. A famous rapper quote this in his song “I Came, I Soar, and Conquer” Jay Z Encore the best lyric ever..I live by the quote since and I applied to most things no matter if I’m high or low when doors are slammed in my faces when opportunities don’t go my way..I have to look at it like this it’s not feeling you did was wrong it’s the feeling that I went in with confidence there are times I have failed and I’m was ashamed of failing but sometimes admitting to failure is what brings out the best failure doesn’t make you a loser..”If the you first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again”. Aaliyah (Try Again).

From Week 1 of Lift More all the way to Week 4 the end of phase 1 halfway through the program and I’m so proud I’m seeing definitions within transformations in Week 5 phase 2 I will definitely will get even more stronger.

11/09/2022

I look at my journey over the past 7 years and I’m blessed to be where I am today.. if you could asked me 7 years ago the first I became fearful, didn’t have confidence, frustration, and willing to give up..I would have but it took some inspiring people in my life to remove all the doubt and fear and just give myself a second chance. I keep saying to myself it’s never too late.

I found my mindset
I found my power
I found my heart
I found ME!!

I always say going through this journey is never easy but fun!! Going through 4 weeks of Fire and Flow I made this program about me and how I can still do what I do despite my age this program has made see things through a stronger lens that I may go through challenges emotionally, mentally, and physically but that doesn’t mean I stop what I’m love doing what I grow to do. If you have what it takes and the ability to still strive what you can do and want to keep doing than don’t put an age on it put your mindset and your willingness on it not how old you are. I always in the back of my mind feared the age will become me but I shouldn’t fear that age becomes us all because are maturing, learning, and sharing wisdom. No matter where you are in your life you have the ability to go for what you want in life nothing should stop nor limit you. I been on this journey since my late 20s up til now in my late 30s and I’m still going.

Give Yourself Credit!!

Body Positivity.. it doesn’t matter where you are in your fitness journey rather you are at the beginning or in the middle your journey keeps going!! Embrace your journey and the results!! You got up and made that choice and by making a change you developed personal development, confidence, and much stronger mindset.

I use to say I’m slacking a lot of times until 9WCF I learn how to stop saying I’m slacking and start saying I’m SLAYING IT!! Just because you are struggling guess what we all do even myself but if you give yourself the body positivity that you deserve you going to continue to slay it!! Work through the hard and continue to push no matter where you are in your journey KEEP DOING THE DAMN THING!! Remember why you started this journey so instead of focusing on the slacking focus on how far you have came!! Remember there is no deadline on reaching your fitness goals just patience, positivity, and an prosper goals.

This is why I’m an Coach I changed my life by pressing play and continue to fight through hard even if I’m struggling but I learn to keep slaying it and get right back on my grind my mindset and keep pushing!! Also give myself the glory, praise, victories, and body positivity which helps to create the best version of me!! Also taking control!!

So if any of you all are starting to create and building your fitness journey whenever you feel that you are “SLACKING” look where you are in the mirror and your past transformations and knock I’m slacking to the curb and say “I’m SLAYING IT!!” and “I’m going to take CONTROL”!! “I’m going to continue to bring BODY POSITIVITY and BRING OUT THE BEST VERSION OF ME!!

How do you want to start your journey

5 years ago I struggled with nutrition, mindset, and personal development when I was first introduced to how I started my journey I will admit I was lost, didn’t know how to start or when, I faced low self esteem, and I stop believing in myself, well all of that changed when I decided to find an group of friends and supporters to help me through my journey I sat down and I did a lot of research, finding what workout programs that will benefit me and learning how to challenge myself when workouts get hard. After doing 21 days of the workouts I felt better but I didn’t see transformation as fast I would have so I started to get frustrated because I thought it was something I was doing wrong..so I reached out to my coach I told her about my dilemma and so was kind and understanding she said it’s nothing that you are doing wrong remember you at an early stage in your journey and you probably need to dig more deeper then what you are actually doing so she talked to me about Nutrition and the comfort zones and food she appointed me to talk to an Nutritionist so I made an appointment at first yes I was scared because I had all fears and doubts in my head but if I wanted to see change I have to block all of that out so I walked in wasn’t bad she was very nice and funny also an big huge Disney fan. She made feel comfortable showed me different forms of nutrition and how I can enjoy the things I love but not have to feel restricted but healthy since then I did more homework and I learn how to meal prep control my portions also enjoying my treats having control also breaking the plateau…since then I saw tremendous change, I started to see results, scale victories, and regaining confidence. Now it was the mindset being able to work on personal development being comfortable in my own skin embracing who I am, being strong supporters and coaches..this inspired me to become an certified fitness coach and to help those who wants to start their fitness journey. You guys it goes without saying yes I put in 5 years in this journey, sweat, tears, soreness, learning, growing, endless moments of being tired but guess what it all paid off!! I’m on Day 13 of 2b mindset learning how to perfect my nutrition even more. Yes I wasn’t comfortable of sharing my story at first but so much love and support I continue to you all help grow stronger and keep inspiring, now I’m seeing my friends and family starting their health journey I had one person said your stories inspire me to get healthy again to become fit again. When I hear or see comments posted like that that makes me keep going. I channel my inner super hero!! Mine is Storm because she is fierce, strong, and she brings in the lightening so when I feel I’m about to give up or I’m having any kind of bad day I channel my inner Storm. Who do you have to channel you when you are trying to get through your day..Who inspires you? These are things should be your WHY!! This should be the main thing that will help you on your journey so it can be strong positive one.
