Smiles and sunshine on my birthday. Bella and I had spent the entire day together. Shopping, lunch, manicures. I know I say I miss her being small but this is awesome. I love being able to hang out with her and talk and laugh about anything. . #LifeIsBeautiful #EveryDayIsAGift #BreastCancerSurvivor #photofy @photofyapp

Day 30/30 Birthday Bash Challenge Results!!! . I'm physical proof that the scale is a bitch and it doesn't measure your progress at all!!! I've held firm in that belief for years and now I proved it. Do I like that the scale reads the same number? Nope. Don't like it but I do know it's gone up and down four pounds in the last four weeks. It's never gonna stay the same so I look to other ways of measuring progress. Here are my changes: ✨ down 2.5" in my hips ✨ down 2" in my waist ✨ down 1" each thigh ✨ down 1" in my chest ✨ down .5" in each calf ✨ I can do push-ups on my knees birth standard and military. This is HUGE for me since I had a bilateral mastectomy. ✨ I have enough energy to sustain 60-90 minute workouts should I CHOOSE to do them. 💥 Five months ago I couldn't walk up five stairs without feeling like I would pass out. ✨ I can do lots of push ups on my toes with limited ROM. I can plank, half plank, mountain climb and more! ✨ I'm ready to increase my weights on every exercise. I started with no weights or my pretty pink 2 pounders lol. . 💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟💟 . You can't measure any of that on a scale. I hereby declare this year to be my strongest and healthiest of my life. That's if the pull ups don't kill me first ..... 😋. . Thank you for being on this journey with me, for all your love, laughs and support, for putting up with my potty mouth and being just Fucking Awesome in general (hey I'm from NY lol). (Should I say bloody awesome instead?). You are awesome. You are amazing. You are precious. You are vital. You are as kick ass #Badass!!! With love, me 🎀 #photofy @photofyapp

I hope you had a wonderful weekend and took a moment for all of those who served and made sacrifices for our freedom. We had a nice quiet weekend with family. . I'm staying accountable for my workouts. I'm feeling so much stronger. One month down, two to go for X3. One day closer to my goals. Another milestone tomorrow and I'm determined to make the next year my healthiest and strongest ever. . Sending love and hugs. You're all so freakin AWESOME 💖💖💖💖😘

Day 25/30 .... It's all about progress not what the fn bitch of the scale says. Increasing my workout and activity time. More aerobics on top of the weight training. I'm so sick of this back and forth yo-yo crap. Change comes with changes. I changed the routine but it wasn't enough. Kicked ass on three workouts today. I needed to release so much frustration. Lots of re-evaluating of my goals and action items to achieve them. I'll find the balance. Someday!!! Sweet dreams or good morning. You are AWESOME and don't ever forget it!! #photofy @photofyapp

Two years ago today was a Sunday. My doctor called while we were at Bella's soccer game. "Can you please come in this afternoon?" "No I can't come in today, it's Sunday. I'll come tomorrow." "Anne Nicole you come today." I don't even remember hearing my diagnosis. I saw the pathology report which read "Invasive Ductal Carcinoma". The rest of what I heard sounded like the teacher on the Charlie Brown specials. My first thought was of Bella and that nothing was taking me away from her until I was GodDamned good and ready. I look back tonight not with sadness but with a renewed source of energy and conviction that cancer can never win. Every time I look back I will only see how far I've come. I think I'm finally ready to pay it forward and help my #PinkSisters get through the process like a #Badass. We are not victim to our circumstances unless it. A very good friend of mine said "You are not a victim you are a vixen". That's how a fearless cancer vixen is born. Hey Cancer, Kiss My Ass. You messed with the wrong Chick. #SurviveAndThrive #breastcancerawareness #breastcancerawareness #photofy @photofyapp

T-Minus 10 Days Til My Birthday #BikiniBound It's been an up and down battle. Age, mess, stress, fatigue. Picking up the weights and increasing my activity level has helped. Less than two weeks left in my 30 day challenge. Progress Report: 🎀Down 4lbs 🎀Down 2" in my waist 🎀Down 1.5" in my hips Can't say I've been great with food but I've been better. It's all about progress not perfection. Im taking it one day at a time and one month at a time. But my jeans fit so much better I had to check where I stand. Saturday is no day for excuses. day 20/30 #P90X3 #Yoga #21DFX Dirty 30 Extreme Crushed. #BoomBaby #breastcancerawareness #photofy @photofyapp

Two years ago today I ventured into my radiologist's office for a core needle guided biopsy of a lump I found in my left breast. Nobody believed it to be cancerous. They did their best to keep me thinking it wasn't but the thing is there was a possibility. . I was brand new to IG then. I simply write the following "I GOT THIS." . The next four days pretty much sucked the life out me waiting for an answer. . When your doctor calls you on a Sunday and asks you to come in, on a Sunday, the fear kicks in and you don't want to go. No, Anne Nicole, you must come today. Would you believe I did my best in the 90 minutes of traffic in the rain to convince myself there would be a different kind of visit with my doc? . That was TWO years ago. My hashtags still apply and I will let them speak for themselves. Don't ever lose hope and don't ever give up. . #BringItOn #motivation #inspiration #positive #love #breastcancerawareness #FightLikeAGirl #GetItDone #Pink

#ThankfulThursday . Today I am thankful. The 19th marks two years since my #cancer diagnosis. You know I believe that #EveryDayIsAGift so each day I take time to reflect what brings me gratitude. . 🎀 Being able to workout. I went from workout queen to being relegated to the couch for months. Recovery, treatment, the aftermath. Being able to #PushPlay on any day makes me proud. #StrongerEveryDay #StrongerThanYourAverageChick . 🎀 The gift of Health means I can be a good mamma to Bella. She is my reason for breathing but I am so damn grateful to have energy for her and to pick her up emotionally and literally. Look at that smile!!!! . 🎀 I'm grateful for #coffee lol but get this.... I ventured into #BeachBody two years ago and started my own business. I always had a passion for helping people with #health and #Fitness. I found a way to build a #LifeByDesign and build my own financial independence, even while going through my worst! Look at the AWESOME purchase I just made my own car!!! . I'm thankful everyday for this gift we call life. #SurviveAndThrive #FUCancer . Day 17/90 #P90X3 #accelerator. I'm grateful for a little bit each day. The first time I did this workout I cried. It was sheer testament of my loss of strength. Today I kicked its ass in full force and effect. How about that mr @tonyshorton 💥. . #photofy @photofyapp
