Everyone’s sharing their wins, so here are my recent flops Hey guys! Everyone’s sharing their wins sooo… let’s talk flops. I’d like to believe that these things happen in order to redirect me. This made me think deeply about what defines the Popflex brand and who our customer really is. Unfortunately I’ve always been and still am very critical of myself. A simple question was asked that triggered a sadness deep within me and I couldn’t hold back my tears. I hate that I cried but I think I hate more that I felt ashamed of it afterwards. I don’t like being told what I can or can’t do. But the truth is, the limit has to exist in order for this business to exist. Just reaching a “sweet spot” where we’re not small enough that no one cares and not big enough that everyone’s scared. Ugh. I can’t even begin to explain how low I felt after this. All I wanted was to genuinely connect with people who understood what I was going through. Growing a business can feel really lonely and depleting already but as a super empath, sometimes the feeling is unbearable. I wanted community. Friends even. When I got the rejection email, it felt like someone was breaking up with me without giving a reason why. Was I not good enough? Did I do something wrong? Please someone tell me something. But no, they wouldn’t tell me anything. It made me feel like I wasn’t worthy of being in their presence, like it was high school all over again and they saw me as some wannabe trying to join their popular group. I hate that a part of me is still very damaged over this. But I’ll get over it. It’s just gonna take time. Let’s be real. Wasting food is the biggest flop of all.   Hey guys!

This is My “Pinch Me” Moment

This is My “Pinch Me” Moment And just like that, the 2023 BlogiFam Retreat is over. From permanent bracelets (apparently next year everyone wants tattoos now) to posing like Zara models in our denim on denim to a group GRWM to squealing with joy at seeing Saturn. I’m exhausted but filled.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) During our fireside chat portion, I was asked what my “pinch me” moment has been and my answer was this: I never knew that the people and the energy in this room could ever be real. To be surrounded by passionate humans, battling through the challenges of growing a business together, but also soaking in the joys of seeing you guys wear POPFLEX proudly, it’s really a journey like no other. Growth drives me. I love it. I live for it. I like going fast and I want to go FASTER. But like with fitness, you can’t see progress without rest. It’s tough when you guys are excited, I’m excited, the team is excited and we want to do more more MORE for you! But the truth is, we need to learn to slow down before we break down. I care about all the people you see in these pics so much (plus 2 new mamas/soon-to-be mamas who were there in spirit) and it is my responsibility to keep everyone here strong and happy. The energy that we have right now must be protected and I’ll do everything in my power to keep it that way. Daily, things are changing, and keeping up with the demands of the business while taking care of fam is proving to be extremely difficult. It’s all new… every day is new…and every day feels like a test that keeps getting harder. A test you can’t study for. A test you have to ace. I don’t know all the answers but what I do know is that it begins with nurturing the hearts and souls of the people on the team first, and the rest, we’ll figure out together.

The Blogilates Build-A-Bowl Challenge! Hey guys! I’m SO excited for this month’s challenge! Sorry it’s a little delayed, but it’ll be worth it. Promise! So far this year, we’ve touched on all of the components of wellness in our challenges, paying extra attention to fitness and mental health. August is all about FOOD! Get excited for… The Build-A-Bowl Challenge! You could call this a meal prep challenge, but it’s really more about finding new yummy meals to love with less stress. We’re ALL here for that, right?! My love for bowl meals runs deep. You can put in as much effort as you want and the options for creativity are endless! Any time I’m not sure what to eat or don’t feel like cooking, I raid my kitchen and create some type of bowl. Oh, and there are literally no rules when it comes to a bowl meal, which means it’s also SO EASY to pack them with tons of nutrition. If you’re new to bowls though, it’s kinda hard to know where to start. And honestly, even if you’re as obsessed with them as I am, it’s really easy to get stuck making the same one over and over. Not saying this is a bad thing, but is there anything better than discovering new recipe inspo? Download PDF Here’s how this challenge works! The Build-A-Bowl Challenge will help you learn how to build a nutrient-packed, balanced bowl meal and/or expand your bowl-making horizons. The rules are simple: Choose your ingredients Follow the formula Spice it up how you like Enjoy!   Four weeks. Four yummy, nutrient-packed bowls! We’re making FOUR different kinds of bowls in this challenge – one for every week! WEEK 1: Smoothie Bowl WEEK 2: Nourish Bowl WEEK 3: Warm Breakfast Bowl WEEK 4: Greens Bowl The formula for each bowl will guide you to build a balanced, nutrient-packed bowl. There are no macros and there are no rules about portions or ingredients you can add!! We’re keeping this high level, so you can discover new recipes to add to your meal rotation, build some meal prep skills, and have FUN! Some examples! Here are two example bowls to get you started! Smoothie Bowl  Banana + strawberries (2 fruit) Peanut butter + slivered almonds (2 fat) Protein powder (1 protein) Spinach (1 veggie) Almond milk (1 liquid)   Greens Bowl Mixed greens (greens base) Sweet potato + bell pepper (2 veggies) Black beans + grilled chicken + hemp seeds (3 protein) Avocado (1 fat)   Print the calendar and plan ahead My advice? Plan your bowls ahead to make meal prep as quick and easy as possible! Choose to make the same bowl all week, or opt to switch it up every day! You can write out your plans on the blank calendar to stay organized. Download the Challenge Speaking of meal prep… Prep your bowls as you go OR prep some of the ingredients ahead of time – I like this option because I always love myself later! Here are some easy things you can prep ahead of time: Wash and cut veggies Cook grains like rice, quinoa, noodles, etc. Cook proteins like shredded chicken, hardboiled eggs, etc. Make “smoothie packs” for your smoothie bowls, so all you have to do is pour into a blender with your favorite milk and blend!   At the end of the month, you’ll have a new set of go-to recipes to add to your rotation. You might even gain some new meal prep skills. Okay now let me know if you’re IN!! Tell me in the comments!! Oh and post your Build-A-Bowl creations on IG and tag me @blogilates and @blogilatesdotcom!!! I wanna see allllll the food pics so I can get some inspo too!   Hey guys!
