Am I the only one who likes to wear cute matching sets when working out or running around town? Well if I’m not alone, I have the perfect brand for you.
The Goodie Club Shop, owned by my good friend Jesi (Jey) Price, caters to women of all sizes. Not only does the Goodie Club offer fly fitness wear, they also promote body positivity, personal growth, and wellness.
Their brand motto is Be Good. Live Good. Do Good! Each order comes with a small goodie bag that includes a biodegradable business card and seed bombs to plant in your garden. I thought this was such a nice touch as it amplifies the brand’s mission and promotes growth and positivity.
Wearing this brand makes you feel confident, comfortable, and cute. I can personally say I experienced all of these when I tried on the Mia Cheetah set. The material felt very high quality. And who doesn’t love a good cheetah print? (FYI – I am obsessed with animal print). You can see for yourself on my IGTV episode.
I already preordered a cheetah jumpsuit from The Goodie Club and I can’t wait for it to arrive.
If you want to order some goodies, head right over to their website https://thegoodieclubshop.com or check them out on Instagram or Facebook @thegoodieshop. You will love the fit, the fabric, and how it makes you feel.
I don’t know who told me to start an ab challenge when I am already in the midst of the #mjconsistency challenge but, WHEW I am exhausted! A week ago, I made a commitment to join a 30-day ab challenge hosted by @_themichfit with a few of my friends from college.
I decided to participate because I have been stress eating and totally avoiding all exercise for 2 months. To be honest, I was working long hours and putting myself on the back burner when it came to fitness.
I knew that I needed to make a change, so signing up for the challenge was a way of making me commit to getting it done. I know it can be hard finding the motivation to work out right now with so much going on. Here are five tips to make sure you don’t neglect your workout when working from home.
Set strict work hours
Add your workout to your calendar
Find an accountability group/partner
Post your progress on social media
Reward yourself when you have met your goal
After an emotional few days at work, this challenge was the last thing I wanted to tackle. Yet, I told myself I have to show up for me. If I miss Day 1, I am not setting the tone for Day 2-30.
Today, I added my workout to my calendar and told myself I couldn’t eat dinner until my workout was done. I will be posting my progress on IG. I also have a group of 5 women who are holding me accountable. I know I can get through this. Even on those tough workdays. I am excited to see my progress at the end of this challenge!
At the beginning of 2020, I set a goal to lose 5-10 pounds before my trip to Bali. Well, I didn’t go to Bali and I also didn’t lose 5-10 pounds.
Before quarantine, I was determined to finally get in shape. I even started going to my least favorite place again…THE GYM. Well kinda. I signed up for ClassPass. It’s a fitness membership where you are allowed to take classes at different fitness studios and gyms for a monthly fee.
I was able to try yoga, barre, Zumba, pilates, and a number of other classes at various places in the Bay area. ClassPass also offers open gym time, so I was able to use the gym equipment as well. I don’t love working out, so ClassPass made it exciting and fun. Every week I challenged myself to try something new at a different studio.
In March, ClassPass went 100% virtual. Surprisingly, I didn’t mind the virtual experience. The classes were a challenge and I was consistent for about 6 weeks. When I decided to move back to Atlanta in May, I completely fell off the wagon. If I’m being honest, I haven’t worked out for the past few months.
Since I didn’t quite make my goal during the first half of the year, I am ready to recommit. I am participating in a 30-day ab challenge with 4 of my friends starting July 22nd. I’m glad I have them to support my goals and help me get back on track. If you want to join the challenge, send me a message on IG.
How is your quarantine fitness routine going? Have you been able to achieve your fitness goals this year?
