I honestly was not going to post these pictures today. I wanted to do the #dare2barechallenge on Day 1 of the #butiyoga 14 day program, so I slapped on my goal bikini as told and took the photos. Looking at the pictures afterward though, my inner mean girl came out. I picked myself apart and pointed out everything about my body that I wanted to change. I thought, “no, I can’t possibly post that”. Then I decided to put them beside my “before” pictures from January. It was then that I said, “you know what, fuck it” *pardon the language*🤷‍♀️ I am PROUD of where I am now because I worked DAMN hard to get here. #transformationtuesday #transformation #bodypositive #bodypositivity #motivation #fitness #health

Day 6 of the Dare2BareChallenge asks us to post about our daily rituals that help keep us grounded and connected with nature... Well, I do not always sit in this pose but I do love to put my feet in the grass and just sit and listen to the sounds that are around me. I am lucky that there is not much traffic on my block and I am serenaded by the sounds of birds, frogs, chickens, and roosters. 😁⠀ ⠀ Serenity has a new meaning for me. Living in Germany has really given me the chance to take in the fresh air and reflect on life. And with the recent changes in my life, I have come to the head of the identity crisis that I have been enduring for the last 4 years. It is interesting to me that I always thought I was about keeping busy doing things, going places, meeting with people, etc. But now that I don't have to and can just sit with myself, it is so refreshing. Don't get me wrong, I miss the excitement of it all but there is nothing like peace....⠀ ⠀ I hope that you can implement a ritual in your life that will allow you to have a moment of reflection and peace, even if it is only for 2 minutes. Make the time for yourself because only you can.⠀ ⠀ **you see my darn Popeye calves and thick legs never let me get this darn pose right. I have to do more stretching so I can get those muscles to lay down! But I have gotten so much better!!! :-)**⠀ ⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ *⠀ ⠀ ⠀ @butiyoga @movenkd @goldnerationutrition #dare2barechallenge #selfliftnetwork #germany #peace #rituals #reflection #deutschland #selfliftnetwork #itstimeforaselflift https://www.instagram.com/p/ByOW3yPAIxk/?igshid=ay90l5y8270q

Day 5 - #dare2barechallenge - The Breakup. __ Today I am breaking up and ending my co-dependency on my scale. We've been together for a long time, but it's time to part ways. I'm kicking your cousin, the fitness tracker to the curb as well. You've done nothing but keep me on a roller coaster ride by validating my worth against the number on your screens. If I fall under we receive praises but if I rise I receive criticism. Well, that ends today. Thank you for all of your good and bad times also for your smiles and tears. It will be hard, but I will make it without you. Going forward I will determine my happiness by the way I feel and the way my clothes fit me. I am no longer bound by your demands. I am now free to listen to my body and its desires instead of comparing my feelings against your numbers. Maybe by removing you from my life, it will help my Auntie, emotional eating find her way home too. Today is a new day and baby you've got to go. . . . . . . #butiyoga #somethingsabouther #yogayogayoga #scales #thebreakup #meditatewithme #Azblogger #phxblogger #phoenixblogger #phoenixarizona #loveyourselfenough #14daychallenge #imdoingthisforme #itsajourney #livingwithherpes #listentoyourintuition @butiyoga @goldenrationutrition @movenkd (at Avondale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByCIXuKnXjU/?igshid=2ssaduztwawm

But I find the key to dealing with insecurities is to not talk about them. No one will notice that part of you that you feel insecure about if you don't bring it up because they're too busy thinking about their own insecurities.

Day 3 🙈 I do not own a scale. I haven’t since I lived with my Mom in 2010. I don’t believe in numbers and how they make me feel so I refused to allow them to harm me. Don’t get me wrong I don’t fight it at the doctor but I also don’t look. I don’t want that feeling in my space. I wrote this as a comment earlier today but it feels fitting: We live in a society that has created a precedent that if you are not loved and excepted by others then how can you love yourself? This is a fallacy created by those desperate to extinguish light in the world. We. WE decide the level of love our soul hungers for. No one else. So feed it. Feed your soul. With daily affirmations (I have a message in my calendar that pops up everyday at 11:20 “You are enough” is the message I need) when I try on clothes and say “god you look horrible” I follow immediately with “you are so beautiful that even you can’t stand it lol” when I sit and eat way too much full of self loathing I remind myself that there is always tomorrow what do I need to work on that I am not? I take sexy pictures for MYSELF. I sing love songs solely for me. Perhaps I am schizophrenic or narcissistic but I don’t care. I love me exactly as I should. If I cannot set a line of respect towards myself how will others know how to treat me? You are beautiful and brave. I am so glad you are on this path with us. We got you boo 😘 @butiyoga #dare2barechallenge #letterstome #damndeliciouspasta #proveyoursweat #scalerevolution

#dare2barechallenge day 14! Paddle boarding and SUP yoga at our girls weekend at the lake. Boating, boarding, loving, laughing, and enjoying each moment. Life is a series of moments strung together and we we choose how we spend each moment. We have a choice to hold back because of what other people think, what we think others might think or simply live our lives and do what makes us happy! BE HAPPY @bizziegold @butiyoga (at Little Crooked Lake Michigan)

#dare2barechallenge day 5: "Recall the first moment you began to question your body or self-worth." What a deep, terrifying question to ponder on today. This requires some time being still with myself and going back to memories to recall the first moment - because sadly, there have been too many moments of doubt. I've come so far from where I began. I now completely love every crevasse of my body, from my too-long big toe that made it extra difficult to be in pointe shoes as a teen, to the bump in my nose I used to loathe as a child, to my "whiteness" that made me stick out like a sore thumb in my Asian hometown. I am pretty sure there were moments before this one but I remember this one clearly.. I was 7 or 8, in primary school and lived in a beautiful neighborhood. My family lived like locals; in a modest high rise building spending time with our neighbors of all races and ethnicities. I think it was at 7 years old that I began realizing I was different from my classmates. I was lanky, boney and had odd facial features. I was born to a Chinese father and a white American mother but grew up in Singapore. I remember people in school laughing at my pointy nose that was WAY too big for my baby face back then. Seriously, it was huge. It was a lone Eastern European nose among the tiny Asian noses everyone around me had. I began pulling at it before school and throughout the day to try and make it flatter because I did not want to be singled out. I would stick scotch tape on it overnight when no one was looking in hopes I would wake up with a cute Asian nose and all will be well. My soul told me I was Asian, my appearance showed the world I was white and I struggled with that from age 7. Things only because worse as more differences were brought to light and I felt alone. I had many friends but was constantly trying to look like them. Like the Asian I was at heart. At age 9 I would fake my eye glasses test to look like my best friend at the time and because it helped me look more Asian. Today, I embrace all facets of my culture and love each part of my body that reminds me that I am Asian or that I am white, or both! I am grateful for the story my body tells🌻❤️ (at St. Louis)

Day 5 of the Dare2BareChallenge says that I must break up with my scale. However, when I did the challenge last year I already did it. Somehow it has snuck back in to my life. ⠀ ⠀ I'm sorry but I can't break up with my scale. But what is great is that we came to an understanding. I no longer obsess with getting on everyday and I do not let it get me upset. I understand that the scale can be used as a guide but it is not always accurate to my level of health nor my figure. I understand that as I build muscle and burn fat that I may be the same weight but have a bomb a$$ figure.⠀ ⠀ So today I an announcing that the scale and I have a love hate relationship and it's just down right complicated. ⠀ ⠀ #itscomplicated #lovetohate #scaleornah #breakup #dare2barechallenge @butiyoga @movenkd @goldenrationutrition https://www.instagram.com/p/ByNDUNRlQgJ/?igshid=1f7u40vkpxzxj

Day 4 of the Dare2Bare Challenge was to share an important media influencer in my life. I have to say, I am not one to idealize over social media influencers in a way other than to admire their work and their drive. I am more of a person that believes in that personal touch, someone that allows me admiration but also influences me on a personal level. So I would like to say that one of my best friends is my important media influencer in my life. She has been there through thick and thin. When I moved out of country and just needed an ear to walk me through whatever I may have been dealing with or ideas I may have had she was and is always there. She has been my touch to reality daily and sometimes twice a day. No matter what she was going through she never disappointed in her presence. She has been an example of how to continue to push through. We have been each other’s shoulder when necessary and each other‘s accountability partner. So when I think of having an positive, motivating, and amazing influencer in my life, I think of @beearaba, my best friend and sister. Love you forever!! Thanks for keeping me on track and keeping me pushing. 🤗🤗🥰🥰🤗🤗 @butiyoga #dare2barechallenge #movenkd @movenkd @goldenrationutrition #Repost @beearaba ・・・ ✨Reach for the stars! 🌟The sky is not the limit!!! #reachhigher #riseup #reachforthestars #star #queen #nevergiveup #staypositivealways #motivationweekend #beachlife🌴 #livingmybestlife #grateful #focused #consistencyiskey #droppingjewels #theuniverseismine #laptoplife #itgetsbetter #stayfocused #yougotthis #failureisnotanoption #abundantwealth3 https://www.instagram.com/p/ByECcpSILmo/?igshid=1csqzurjvpsli

Day 4 #dare2barechallenge. _ The ask for day four is to share and tag your favorite celebrity/influencer. I do not believe in the influencer model and I view celebrities like normal people that simply makes a hell of a lot more money than me. So it took me a minute to identify an "influencer" that I truly admired. @sahararrayeh is someone I admire. She is a doctor, creative, fashion influencer, and a justice seeker. __ I've been following her for a long time. I admire her and all of the work that she does on and off her platform. Sahar is my definition of an influencer. I am such a fan of hers and everything that she stands for. ❤ . . . . . #butiyoga #somethingsabouther #blackgirlsdobuti #twopiecebathingsuit #plussizemagic #meditatewithme #Azblogger #phxblogger #phoenixblogger #phoenixarizona #plussizeinfluencer #loveyourselfenough #14daychallenge #imdoingthisforme #plussizeyoga #livingwithherpes @butiyoga @movenkd @goldenrationutrition (at Avondale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_BMGkH90R/?igshid=r85wvj39b805

Day 2 #dare2barechallenge what's inside your fridge. __ I go to the grocery store once a week. So I don't have a lot of stuff in my fridge because it's usually gone by the end of the week. I'm not certain what I could do better with since I tend to buy products that are fresh. . . . . . #butiyoga #somethingsabouther #blackgirlsdobuti #refrigerator #groceryshopping #meditatewithme #Azblogger #phxblogger #phoenixblogger #phoenixarizona #14daychallenge #issachallenge #groceries (at Avondale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx7AYdnnuiz/?igshid=1v5715o44jko7

I'm a little late to the #dare2barechallenge. Day 1 was about finding and posting yourself in a bikini. Truth be told I do not wear bathing suits and this two-piece was purchased three years ago for our family trip to Hawaii. I've never been comfortable with showing my body even at my smallest. Over time I've become more confident but there is still some hesitation. __ I'm looking forward to this challenge as it will push me outside of my comfort zone. Next 14 days is about this challenge. . . . . . #butiyoga #somethingsabouther #blackgirlsdobuti #twopiecebathingsuit #plussizemagic #meditatewithme #Azblogger #phxblogger #phoenixblogger #phoenixarizona #14daychallenge #plussizeyoga (at Avondale, Arizona) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx69UpTHyz1/?igshid=2r5o8zcutwso

“Dare to Bare Challenge” So day 2 of the challenge is to show a “before” picture of your fridge. This a dairy, grain, and sugar free dietary challenge included with Buti Yoga tone online classes. So my fridge is not bad on what types of food. It’s probably more like I need to get more food!! Lol. I can’t keep anything in my fridge unless it’s green cause then the kids stay away (well not so much in that department either 🙄). I have two growing teens and they eat me out of house and home. And no they are not boys, they are girls and they are savages. Lol Anyway, here it is... my fridge with my salad, radishes, cabbage, zucchini, carrots, cucumbers, fruit on top, and more. Do I pass for now? 😊 * * * * @BUTIYOGA @MOVENKD #DARE2BARECHALLENGE @GOLDENRATIONUTRITION #butiyoga #fridge #gurken #healthyfridge #challenge #powerfrau #committochange #waterislife #beforepicture https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx5AsuOIJbP/?igshid=ep7v1u132nd2

Sooo.... I’m in another challenge. Why do I keep doing challenges? Well they keep me accountable. And it motivates me to be connected with a group of people going after a similar goal. I seem to always have a “before” picture and I actually hate doing them. It sometimes can be disheartening when the “after” only lasts for but a moment. I have often been ashamed to show that as a trainer, I also struggle just like the next person. But as I did not talk much about my depression, I did not talk about the constant ups and downs I have gone through with my weight. But that all ends here and now. I am unapologetically baring all today. I am a fitness enthusiast, personal trainer, dancer, singer, and actress and I fight to maintain my health mentally and physically. I know all and have the right tools but I also understand how sometimes it just ain’t that easy. (Yes I intentionally made that grammatically incorrect) According to this challenge I am supposed to wear my goal bikini and take a before picture, but I don’t have a goal bikini. My goal was always to buy a new bathing suit when my old one became too big. 🤷🏽‍♀️. Maybe I should rethink that strategy. Lol. So I stand before you today as a woman who’s goal is to show my body shamelessly and let you know that it’s ok to sometimes have set backs. But never give up and make sure that you are having fun!!! Day one of the “Dare 2 Bare” Challenge is done!!! 🎤 @BUTIYOGA @MOVENKD @GOLDENRATIONUTRITION #DARE2BARECHALLENGE @butiyoga #shameless #before #powerfrau #deutschland #amberg #bavaria #vilseck #grafenwöhr #hohenfels #militaryveteran https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx3XQk4ILuf/?igshid=v4cd3ihpv2au
