Hey all! I don't post much but Ive been on my overall health journey for a bit now. Ive learned and implemented into my daily life so much now...from here and a couple of other groups Im involved in between here and Facebook. Ive managed to implement a few key things to my daily routine and stay fairly consistant through it all. But the biggest thing for me has been the concept of changing your mindset. After all, you have to get your mindset in the right place before your really capable of setting about real change. I mean....theres always a root cause or issue that causes us to reach for those things that aren't good for us....right? We all know that eating an apple is better for us than eating that apple pie....but we tend to reach for that pie anyway right? My point is...until we fix the root cause of our unhealthy choices we'll continue to reach for that apple pie and wonder why we can't get our shit together. Ok rant over! Lol The whole point of coming on here was to share my win for the week, which is that Ive lost a whopping 5lbs in a week! May not seem like allot to some...but it's everything to me and such great validation that Im on track and doin the damn thing! Woohoo! Ok...y'all can continue your day now! Lol 😂

Our community kick off starts with some Wisdom! The best of this hits with quotes. Everyone resonates with certain quotes in some way or another and the good ones stick. Here it goes: "Without struggle, there is no progress" - Frederick Douglass I have this tattooed on the right side of my body. I got it when I was 16. It has a flower with a dead pedal, then another flower above it in full bloom. Just because one pedal is dead and brown, doesn't mean the whole flower has to go down with it. Pretty deep for a 16 year old to come up with this analogy. I honestly kinda forget that I have this tattoo and what's crazy is it hits so much harder now as an adult and it's something I've been trying to remember as I go through my life of building a business now. I want to set the record straight that I'm completely happy and content with my life and what I have created. However, on the flip side... I am struggle bussin' HARD trying to get my Coach Bryleigh business going and this quote has been a great reminder that struggle is what we all have to go through in order to get the best results in the end. Learning how to push through the struggle and celebrate the small wins daily is what makes us move forward. This is what keeps the flower in bloom. If you know me, you know I'm extremely good at fitness. I have been my whole life. Everything fitness comes extremely easy to me. Because of that it's almost like I was expecting my business to just become super successful over night and come easy just like my fitness does... man was I wrong. Building a business is fucking HARD, but that's what makes it so fun. I'm learning SO much and we gettin' there day-by-day! This platform and everyone that has joined the group so far has been a reminder of just how much progress I have made and I can't thank you all enough for being here! So, I hope you can resonate or put this into good use for something going on in your life right now or if you have another quote that's resonating with you that you feel like could benefit the group on this fine Wednesday - please share below!

So today I went on 2 walks. One with my daughter this morning where we got to meet a cute n friendly neighborhood dog who was all to happy to show us some 💘. The other when I took my dog on a walk who shows his excitement by parcoring off the wall next to the front door! 😂 Also, spent some quality time with my lil girl doing puzzles and face masks! Self-care Saturday right? Then she helped me clean up the kitchen earlier. Also, got in my water and steps to meet my target goal for the day with both. Yay! I also did 40 push-ups with knees broke up throughout the day! Def feeling it and im sure I'll be sore in the morning! Burn baby burn! 💪 Finally, I just started listening to this awesome audiobook. What are you listening to or reading? 📓🤔
