Tonight I was reminded of a conversation I had nearly 25 years ago in a group meeting at Weight Watchers. (Yes my mamma said to do something about your freshman 15 before you regret it. Thanks Mom!). The leader said the following words that I have never forgotten: . "People will do whatever they can to sabotage your success. They are so jealous that you have set out to do what they've failed to do. How could you do it without them?" . Not once but twice tonight I had a conversation regarding sabotage. A husband made cinnamon rolls for dinner (for dinner?) while a wife was trying to eat clean and healthy. Then a friend received a hateful message about what she posts on her personal FB page. I think that was driven from jealously because she works really hard on her healthy, fitness and happiness. . I'm frustrated and infuriated that people are so bold to be so mean. No matter how much sensitivity training and how much we promote we have no tolerance for bullying I see a tremendous amount of it done in private messages and in comments where people hide behind the security of their computer screen. . THIS IS YOUR REMINDER that their insecurities, weaknesses and petty bullshit should have no effect on you. Ever. I know that it sometimes hard to let it roll off your back but let it and eliminate the negativity. . Never take on someone else's hate. It has nothing to do with you and everything to do with them. My mamma taught me something else growing up. She told me to take the high road, to never give that person attention and to walk away. That was hard for me going through junior high - but now I'm forever grateful. Because sometimes I get hate for the way I chose to be a survivor. . Go figure. Someone not faced with cancer has a better idea about my personal survival. I refuse to let anyone take me down. I didn't choose to survive to be taken down by anyone. . You're amazing and don't ever forget it. . -Anne 🎀 . #BeFearless

Seriously... Talk about #fitspo !!! #hotmessexpress #eatclean #traindirty #HideTheMirror #FaceReality #lookbetternaked #summeriscoming #fitnessmotivation


Dwayne Johnson is one of my favorite inspirations. He's successful, motivating, happy, humble and gracious. I love this quote of his. When you stop having a pity party for yourself (we all do this don't we?) point yourself to the top and GO. . Where are you taking yourself? For me it's all about being true to myself and whom I really am at heart. I refuse to be ordinary - I don't want the same old daily grind - it's such a trap! I want to be successful, productive, a good person, a great parent, and the strongest survivor I can be. I believe if I stay true to my values the rest will come into play. Knowing my weaknesses (easily distracted, procrastination and sheer laziness) will help me push back any obstacle that comes my way. Staying focused is key. I'm not writing out grand goals at this time. I have them already and some days it's too overwhelming to think about. . A little bit everyday. A little bit stronger. A little bit more focused. A little bit more determined. No way to burnout like that. No way to feel the pressure. So here I am. Pointing to the top and here I Gooooooooooo!!! #getresults #dwaynejohnson #rocksolid #strongereveryday #BreastCancerSurvivor #progress #transformation #workingonit #BeFearless #badass #beawesome #ThisExtraOrdinaryLife

Don't you hate when you write out a post and then POOF it's gone?? What can ya do right? Day 2/60 - it started off COLD so so so cold. It was literally 70+ degrees colder than it was last week in Florida. I had been so good at getting up early but not this morning. Wasn't gonna happen. The alarm went off and next thing I knew it was 90 minutes later.... . I didn't let it ruin my day. I accepted it and tried to stay warm. It was super hard to get out of this snuggly sweater and blanket and then change into workout clothes. I headed into my basement because that's where it was warmest..... . Today was #hammerandchisel and the masters PLYO. Holy Fck!!!!!! I have to modify most of the moves and it still wanted to chuck it up in a bucket!! . @sagikalevthebeast you're nuts!! But I'm going for it #strongereveryday and it's motivating me to work harder ( even if you have to peel me up off the floor...) . Feels so good to get back on track and eat cleaner .... I'm not focused on the end goal this January - for me #ItsAllAboutProgress 🎀#badass #BreastCancerSurvivor #BeFearless #beachbody #BeAMaster #beawesome #bestDayEver #ThisExtraOrdinaryLife #womenwholift #onmygrind


No more half-adding anything. (Use your full ass!!) made ya laugh... But seriously ... This is the year about PROGRESS. I spent a week in Disney who was all about progress and change. What's the point of doing something if you don't get better l, sharpen a skill, learn something? . Do something for YOU and don't hold back!!! You (and I) deserve it!!! . #ThisExtraOrdinaryLife #getresults #BreastCancerSurvivor #BeFearless #strongereveryday #every1matters #beachbody #carldaikeler
