💚TAKE YOUR VITAMINS💚
Hey friends today I wanted to do a little chit chat about vitamins - Micronutrients (or vitamins) are often overlooked but they are major key for a healthy feeling body and mind
I was gifted by @kudogummies with these yummy sweet and sour gummies to boost my immune system, I feel healthier than ever and what a great opportunity to share info about about vitamins
K k k so here is the deal and why it is so important to revise your diet and make sure you mind these tips :
1️⃣ Micronutrients, often referred to as vitamins and minerals, are vital to healthy development, disease prevention, and wellbeing, GLOWING skin, hair, nails (all these things we pray for hahah 💗)
2️⃣ With the exception of vitamin D, micronutrients are not produced in the body and must be derived from the diet. Once again don’t eat just to eat, EAT TO NOURISH your body
3️⃣ EAT THE RAINBOW (see pic 2), make sure your diet is varied and include all colors of the rainbow, vitamins basically reside in veggies and fruits, each color are tied to different and complimentary benefits: are you getting all of the vitamins on the chart???
4️⃣Take supplements but don’t depend on it, it’s a plus on top of having a colorful and nutritious diet

This year I’m practicing using less filters, accepting my flaws, while enhancing my best assets (oh yeah we will keep working on these legs, hair, etc). Who is with me?!

It is still going but guys I’m done it’s time for me to detox, I stopped worrying a lot about portions and macronutrients proportion, enjoyed lots of bbq’s, fast / street foods, treats, juices, so kinda feel it now I feel very bloated, less energized🥴 & a little fatter here and there so for me it’s time to get back on track so I wanted to share some tips on what I’m planning on doing nutrition wise:

I got workout material from @decathlon.sn they the plug everywhere I go!

Guys I’m soooo excited to come to my 2 homes this summer, I never meant to stay in San Francisco so long without visiting home but COVID🤣. Nah it’s been tough but so happy to finish au pairing.
Being an au pair was a hidden blessing. Never thought I’d make it this far with kids at first haha. Did a rematch, extension, lived with 3 host families, had great experiences with each one but my last one of course stays in my heart because I truly connected with my host family (like really the whole family🥰) and my favorite little host kid
Beyond the au pair job, I had the opportunity to become a personal trainer, online train clients, launch my outdoor kids camp during Covid, which then transitioned to an after school outdoor camp. So amazing working with the funniest group of kids in the heart of San Francisco, can’t wait to present next school year’s offer
Preparing a summer challenge for July 1st - stay tuned in the meantime it’s to press ⏸PAUSE⏸ for a little and focus on reconnecting with my family and people!
Thankful for everything and everyone I met through this au pair experience! Starting an actual Q&A on my story to answer questions about the au pair while I’m bored in the airport☺️💗
Side note : come on tricepppppp🦾😂 gains right there!
💚MATCHA LATTE FOR THE WIN💚
Hey friends today I wanted to do a little talk about @Starbucks - or other coffee shop ☕️ drinks coffee & tea that are high in dairy (lots of fat), and sugar (that bad useless sugar)👎🏽 and ways to make guilt-free 👍🏽
Drinking regular coffeeshop drinks everyday can really be the reason why you’re not seeing results. A small Starbucks drink can go up to 800 calories (2 of my meals basically in one small drink CRAZY right) - that’s literally what they sell us, and what we buy
Thanks to modifying my drinks, I am actually able to enjoy Starbucks in moderation, following these tips:
1️⃣ Choose your milk. Go for non- dairy options (coconut, soy milk) or low fat milk
2️⃣ Swap your syrup : ask for sugar free syrup and ask for 1 pump max
3️⃣ Skip the whipped cream (you don’t need whipped cream every day like are you 6? Get yourself together please)
4️⃣ Reduce drink size : less drink less stuff to worry about stick to the medium size
5️⃣ NO EXTRA SUGAR : if you have to add make sure you choose stevia or free calorie sweetener
There’s always ways to enjoy what you like with compromise and modifications. Even with these tips Coffee shop drinks should remain a treat as modified sugar is still sugar and that should still be consumed in moderation👌🏽👆🏽
What’s your fav drink at Starbucks? Give me all the inspos💚
🔥LEGS AND BOOTY🔥

The question “how often do you hit legs” is one I get often! Personally I train 5 times a week, I do 1 lower body workout but that doesn’t mean that that’s a magic number for you. There’s many factors that can go into this..
✔️how intense your training is, I train at a moderate intensity (keeping it cute but still challenging enough to progress).
✔️ how well are you recovering, I recover fast now from workouts but 2 years ago I’d need a day or two between workouts.
✔️your physique goals, I did set unrealistic goals at the beginning, which was very demotivating! Go off how YOUR body is responding, have a plan, do the work and worry about results later is my best advice!🙃
⏱Work : 1 minutes sec (switch sides at 30 sec if it applies)
⏱Rest between movements : 0 to 10 sec
📄Rounds : 3 to 5 rounds
✋🏽Rest between rounds : 30 sec MAX
Let me know if you give this workout a go in the comments 👏🏽 WORK ITTTTT!

Great reminder for this week! 80/20 RULE 🙌🏽
.
🔥 If you are having trouble with losing weight, bloating or stubborn fat, tune in into my summer challenge this summer I will be teaching the 80/20 diet method to my challengers!
.
My diet is not perfect, in fact it’s absolute trash 20% of the time (during weekends I eat fast foods, drink soda, and have treats)🍰 🍭🍪 and in moderation tho. It has been endorsed by diet after diet - that to see results you have to stick to the strict rules with no end in sight.
.
This approach often fails because it doesn’t create a sustainable, balanced lifestyle. And, it often creates a ‘yo-yo’ effect where you diet harder and cheat 🍩🥐 harder.
This is where the 80/20 rule comes into play. 80% of your diet should be primarily “whole food” based (lean proteins, vegetables, complex carbs, healthy fats). The other 20% can be ‘treat’ foods you enjoy 😋 IN MODERATON
The key to dieting is to find something that works best for you and your lifestyle. Calories in vs calories out is still the #1 priority for weight loss. 💪🏽💪🏽
💛Amazon try on haul - SUMMER FITS💛

🔥😭You’re NOT Losing Fat: why😭🔥
Struggling to make progress with fat loss? Fat loss is weight loss process.
0️⃣YOU’RE EATING TOO MUCH RIGHT NOW FOR HOW YOU MOVE. No cap this is the base of the base of weight loss. Eat the same move more, or move the same eat less. It’s all about energy balance
Consider taking a look at some of these areas that indirectly influence energy balance…they just might be the reason why
1️⃣First off, if you’re choosing to loose weight, sh*t takes time, you’re really in a journey, on some marathons prep type ish. You didn’t gain all the extra weight overnight or in 3 weeks so realize that you will not lose it overnight or in 3 weeks either. It’s hilarious how clients gain weight from years and years when I read their storyline and then they ask if I can make them loose it all in 2 months AHHHHHH🤣 I educate and then I’ll let them reconsider bc this is a big ass life commitment otherwise they start something they weren’t mentally prepared for, it’s the recipe for failure for both of us and I don’t have tiiiiime💪🏽 (ofc I fail but not like this anymore)
2️⃣Some of the common reasons of not getting there might be poor sleeping habits, poor hydration status, and not eating enough protein, an unknown health condition, hormones, and there’s a lot more
3️⃣You’re overdoing your things such cardio, salads, and neglecting other important things (like resistance training and adequate protein intake)? More isn’t always the option
4️⃣Are you aware of your caloric intake? Calories is how we measure each food, if you don’t like that word choose a different one but you’re still going to have to count🤣 (a client told me I hate the word « calories » lol). Don’t forget to count, beverages and condiment choices, sauces? Sometimes the devil hides there. A period of tracking your food intake can be a good wake up call
If you have not been progressing, take a step back and re-evaluate your game plan. Are you struggling with this subject, let’s boost each other in the comments 💗 tough coach love notes by coach Rosemotivates

What I liked the most about this meal is the breaded chicken🍗 (so fire🔥), when I made the marinade I knew this recipe was set for greatness (with coconut milk, notes of Cajun, like whaaaaa) and then first time for me cooking 🥗collard greens I actually never tried because I thought it was hard to get the good texture and taste but the steps were super easy it ended up being yummy !
I just added a side of potatoes as I needed one more carb portion on my daily diet goal (that’s just me don’t mind me😬) - delicious and yet very healthy you’re truly the GOAT Lucy 💗 can’t wait to try more meals!

Let’s chat goals. I’ve been living with my host mom who is currently has been working on her weight loss goals, when I’ve been clean bulking. 2 opposite goals but we eat the same meals I’ve been meal prepping the same meals for her but here are some tips to follow for these two goals
🎯CLEAN BULKING
A clean bulk (or lean bulk), you tightly regulate your calorie surplus in an effort to prevent excessive fat gain. I’ve been eating 150 calories surplus since 3 months. In my plate :
- I prefer whole foods
- I limit junk food to 1/2 times a week
- I watch the amount of carbs very thickly
- No limit on veggies / fruits
- Make sure I eat my protein
- Balance food groups precisely : for me 15% grains, 30% lean protein, 50% veggies/fruits/ legumes, 5% healthy fata, (is it 100%?🤣)
🎯WEIGHTLOSS
On the opposite side when wanting to loose weight you want to create a caloric deficit - no calorie deficit no weight loss so you’ll have to start with defining a calorie goal and make sure you limit yourself to that goal (DISCIPLINE IS KEY HERE BABYYY)
- No refined carbs, sugars
- No junk food (duuuuuh)
- Diet should be 50% fruits ans veggies, 30% of protein the rest all in moderation until you hit your caloric goal
Enjoy💗

💓 Do 3 sets of 40 to 60sec on each movement - 15 sec of rest - 1 minutes of rest between sets

🎄 Getting ready for the holidays, fav moment of the year but aka an overload of food, goodies, drinks - so I better stay on track!🎄

I won’t ever be the person to tell to cut out a specific food groups to get to your goal. I won’t be the person who promises results in a specific time frame, and I will never be the person who will lie to you either : it’s going to take a lot of work, on yourself, your diet, your habits...
I trained for all the wrong reasons when I started. I focused on my body, on the scale, on the results I was not seeing, and not my mind. But without one the other cannot work to its full capacity. With many starts, restarts and learning about fitness and starting again I value fitness more than ever before.
I made fitness a priority, i focused on my mental health, how do I feel after a workout, after eating, etc... I make fitness fit into my life and I use as a tool in my day to day life to help me perform, achieve and feel better than ever before.
Wether I’m training 🏋🏽♀️for 30 mins, 1 hour orrrr even a quick 15 min full body blaster.... I gots to do something active everyday, I make fitness fit in my LIFE.
It took me 2 years to figure out what was working for me and to implement on the daily as far as 🍝diet, these things take time. All of our bodies are different, there is ✖️NO ONE SIZE FITS ALL DIET
When something isn’t sustainable it just won’t work you’ll feel overly consumed. So push the pressure aside, let’s focus on your day to day small achievements and let’s continue to DO THIS FOR OURSELVES 👌🏽😃
I’ll always be here to motivate you and be real with you when it comes to fitness, drop a 😍 if you like my transformation!

Having routines promotes mental health 😊 & wellness through structure and organization
I have talked to many people 🌬 around me, clients, friends and family and I’ve noticed that many people who don’t have routines suffer from :
✖️Stress : having the constant worry of “when will I get it all done?”
✖️Lack of sleep : having to catch-up with yesterday’s to-do list, and also staying awake worrying about what didn’t
✖️Poor eating : unhealthy diets (like eating lots of fast food) become the norm if there isn’t time scheduled for grocery shopping
✖️Poor physical condition : working out requires some advance planning
✖️Ineffective use of time: always running out of time
People who have routines are often seen as boring, but people who have routines live stress free and are more productive because they take control of their time, set goals and do what needs to be done to reach these goals
☁️Here is my one and only morning routine☁️
☑️Wake up
☑️Make breakfast
☑️Drop my host kid at school
☑️30 min workout
☑️Get ready : dress, hair, light make up
☑️Prepare my lunch and snacks
I don’t really start my daily tasks until all of the above is done✅. This is what works for me right now at this moment of my life. I have a great sense of security knowing that my workout is done, I fueled my body for the day and my healthy food is ready for the day. The consistency in this routine is the main reason why I have attained my fitness goals 😍
I’m working on a sleeping routine as I struggle to go to sleep early so I need your advice ! 😩 What about you what kind of routine have you implemented in your daily life that has been helpful????
Let me know 🤗
🦶🏽ANKLE RECOVERY🦶🏽
Last Wednesday something terrible happened: I sprained my ANKLE🥴 I tripped on the grass while lightly running. I followed @clemycares tips and day 5 (post Injury) I can walk normally again😄 for quick ankle recovery:
1️⃣ NO PANIC : it hurts , it sucks but the first minutes right after the injury happened are crucial, focus on getting ice, elevate the ankle and get a pill of Ibuprofen.
2️⃣ Apply RICE-R >
💆🏽♀️REST: resting means no physical activity until full recovery. Of course if you can’t walk yet, stay on the couch, elevate your ankle and chill. Practice self massage of your ankle in the morning and at night
❄️ ICE: 10 to 20 minutes every 3 hours when injury is new. 5 days after injury ice whenever you can (morning/ night)
🧻 COMPRESS: at first wear a bandage to reduce swelling and to maintain your ankle stable
↗️ ELEVATE : as much as possible right after the injury, until swelling is gone.
🦶🏽 RECOVER : Move and get back to walking whenever you can. Do 10 minutes of ankle recovery/ day exercises as soon as you can walk again > do what you can at first and progress through the days (plenty of 10 minutes proprioception routines on YT)
Injury is part of life, we are only humans and we are not unbreakable. 😊 BUT Maintaining a good level of fitness helps the body recover faster! (ISSA FACT😁)

🏋🏽♂️WEIGHT CHECK🏋🏽♂️
Too light or too heavy weights 🥴what’s the ideal weight?
Join my challenge group to get in a consistent workout routine ! We got you💖 I just received my weights set and I am sooo stocked I can finally keep challenging myself and progress😊🔥 I have 30 kgs (66 lbs) to work with and its just fire
⚠️Choosing the right weights for your exercises is a matter of safety. Lifting too heavy or too light can compromise your form and lead to injuries and pain
💡For your body to adapt, develop strength, and make new gains, you need to keep your body sufficiently challenged. Here are my tips to choose the right amount of weight :
✔️Start with body weight: make sure your form is clean on all movements before even thinking of adding weights, there no shame in not using weights
✔️The last few reps should be hard: if you easily finish all your reps and feel like you could’ve done an extra set, the weight is too light. It will take a little trial and error to find your sweet spot. It’s better to start light and gradually increase the resistance until it feels challenging
✔️Smaller muscles, smaller weights, big muscles big weights ; the weight you use should correspond to the strength of the muscles you’re working. If you’re doing a compound, multi-joint movement such as a squat, you can typically use a heavier weight compared with a more isolated exercise (ex: bicep curl), especially one that targets a smaller muscle group
✔️ Gain confidence and keep progressing : when you feel ready to increase the weight, it’s safest to go up a pound or two—no more than five, you do not progress in your comfort zone
Join my workout challenge and let’s change our bodies together! 💪🏽
Hello hello🌞, as we are in the heart of the summer and some places are experience terrible heatwaves, I wanted to share my tips about : EXERCISE DURING THE HEAT 🔥
💖Like and tag your friends, teammates, coaches for awareness!💖
Exercising in hot weather puts extra stress on your body🥵. If you don't be cautious when exercising in the heat, you risk serious illness. Both the exercise itself and the air temperature and humidity can increase your core body temperature🌡. To help cool itself, your body sends more blood to circulate through your skin. This leaves less blood for your muscles, which in turn increases your heart rate❤️😓. To avoid heat illness (cramps, heat exhaustion, heat stroke)
Here are my tips :
WATCH THE TEMPERATURE 🌡: be an early bird or do your workout at night but dont go workout in the middle of the day. Watch the weather forecast before you program a workout
GET ACCLIMATED ☀️: If you're used to exercising indoors or in cooler weather, take it easy at first when you exercise in the heat. It can take at least one to two weeks to adapt to the heat.
KNOW YOUR FITNESS LEVEL 📃 : If you're unfit or new to exercise, be extra cautious when working out in the heat. Your body may have a lower tolerance to the heat. Reduce your exercise intensity and take frequent breaks.
DRINK FLUIDS 💧: like a lot of fluids, double your water intake. Dehydration is a key factor in heat illness. Help your body sweat and cool down by staying well-hydrated with water. Don't wait until you're thirsty to drink fluids.
DRESS APPROPRIATELY 👕: Lightweight, loosefitting clothing helps sweat evaporate and keeps you cooler. Avoid dark colors, which can absorb heat. If possible, wear a light-colored, wide-brimmed hat.
UNDERSTAND YOUR MEDICAL RISK❗️: Certain medical conditions or medications can increase your risk of a heat-related illness. So talk to your doctor
REST🙆🏽♀️ : extra rest and sleep is definitely needed after a workout in the heat

CHICKEN YASSA🍗 or VEGAN YASSA🥦
WHICH TEAM ARE YOU? 😍 tell me in the comments
Yassa in Senegal is the dish that represents hospitality in SENEGAL🇸🇳
The secret of a successful Yassa? A spicy marinade, composed of spices and herbs (black pepper, garlic), as well as stock cubes and lime juice
The chicken is immersed in it for several hours and then grilled or baked. 🥘The last essential touch is the tangy sauce, composed of a base of onions with Dijon mustard, green olives and peppers. The rice, finally, is the final trump card. Plain🍚, it exhales the flavours of the dish as much as it softens them
As a result, in the mouth😍, the yassa delivers its mixture of sweetness and impetuosity where the acidity of the marinade, the candied juices of the meat, the caramelized juices of the onions, and then the soothing blandness of the rice are in perfect harmony
Because my vegan friends deserve to try it too, I marinated and baked vegan chicken strips to cook a vegan version and its absolutely delicious as well
📃Recipe I used in my story
Hahaha I feel like I just wrote an essay about the Yassa its really my favorite senegalese dish I had to. Will you try it?

Today I created a workout meant to put your abs on fire🥴 now this won’t feel good but the results will be -😼embrace the burns it means you’re changing
I’m challenging the #teamrosemotivates in the #21daysummerchallenge with a ab burner of this type two times a week! 🙌🏽Join us now
1️⃣Crunches (two legs up)
2️⃣ Crunches (one leg up)
3️⃣ Toe touches (side to side)
4️⃣ Diamond sit up

⏱Work : 30 sec (on each side if applies)
⏱Rest : no rest (burrrrrrnnnnn🔥)

✔️When crunching > don’t add any pressure on your neck, just lift your shoulders and upper back , suck your belly button in, make sure your lower back is sticked to the floor !!! and don’t forget to breathe (no oxygen > no energy)

If you want something to truly happen, a change to truly happen 🙏🏽 you have to keep challenging yourself towards that goal
I absolutely hated my body at some point😢, I did not want to live in that body anymore, so I started to make changes in my life to create this change💪🏽. My fitness journey all started because I wanted a flat belly. Now here I am wanting defined abdominals🍫😅 (cause I can get there now I’m soooo close!)
During the process of working on myself, eventually my body changed, I’m very content and confident of how I look now BUT does it meant I should’ve stop working out and just enjoyed life ? HELL NO I would gained all my weight back and be back to square 1 or worse.
While working on myself, I discovered more weaknesses related to fitness 😓 > I have a lack of flexibility, a lack of balance, a chronic lower back pain, hardship when it comes to growing muscles due to my body type. Every single one of these weaknesses are my new daily challenges🙌🏽, they are why I am still working out!
There is ALWAYS 😼 something to work on, ALWAYS room for improvement, I want for my challengers and I to be the best version of ourselves😍🙏🏽and that is why we will keep going UNTIL WE CAN’T ANYMORE

🇸🇳🐟Thieboudieune bou khonk🥫🇸🇳
Proud senegalese moment yesterday I made a red Thieboudieune. It was absolutely delicious !
I was really nervous about cooking this dish, I was scared of not realizing the rice perfectly and just failing this recipe.
For cooking instructions @aistou_cuisine recipe (all her recipes are sooo yummy, she makes senegalese food recipes that are super easy to follow seriously!) and I was also on the phone with my mom 😍💖
Thieboudieune is a recipe that can be absolutely healthy if you choose the right spices to replace the salt and if you control your portions > eating more of the veggies and less of the rice (but I missed it so much I definetly overate on everything 😍😂)
Anyway I was proud and I miss Senegal🇸🇳💗
