#tbt to #coachSummit #Nashville with Jaime. In one month we will be there again, learning, growing and bonding with our teams. It's such an incredible experience. Best decision I ever made was to join #TeamBeachBody. Why? Because my love for health and fitness now knows no bounds - I can help anyone, anywhere. When I first got started in this business 20 years ago my reach was within the four walls of my group ex room at the gym and within the walls of whomever's house I was training in at the time. . There's nothing quite like the feeling of love, respect and pride watching a friend/client become healthy both inside and out. ❤️❤️❤️ .

It's time to be #Brave. Be Daring and face yourself in the mirror. You can do anything you set your mind to doing. Clear the negative thoughts. Stop shaking yourself for any poor choices made. The weekend is OVaH - time to step up and #TakeTheRisk. . What a Risk? Going after all those amazing things you've been picturing in your mind. It's time to make it reality. . On my grind today. Prepping, planning, scheduling and I'm including FUN in my schedule. Why? Making memories with Bella l is much more exciting than planning and starting over. . Today is a great beach day ⛱☀️. #BeAmazing #BeFearless #BeYOUrself #EveryDayIsAGift

Engraved on my necklace is "fear❤️less". . You can't read it in this pic but my new favorite nexklace was delivered yesterday. My friend Brooke @brookeathena1006 asked me to host a Stella & Dot party and I fell in love with this delicate gold bar. Fearless represents so much of me & my life that I was so excited when I figured out this beautifully cool way to have it engraved. . Being fearless stems from the adrenaline rush of being afraid. It's born out of that crazy energy that can either hold you back or catapult you forward. Which will you choose today? . #LeapNowLandLater #BeFearless #FaithOverFear #RisingStrong #EveryDayIsAGift #Survive2Thrive #breastCancerSurvivor #FearlessVixenFitness

It's been more than THREE YEARS since @kmlicata Kim colored my hair!!! I feel so pretty!!! She did an amazing job of getting rid of those awful grays and gave me that summery look. Today was a very special day for me - I even took myself out to lunch to celebrate. . For me I love the normalcy ❤️. The last time Kim colored my hair I hadn't discovered the lump. My world turned upside down but then I did everything I could to turn cancer upside down. Saying I'm #grateful and #blessed pales in comparison to the tumbling of emotions in my heart. . Stay focused. Keep the faith. Stay positive. Do everything you do everyday with just a little more love and spread the vibes. Thank you Kim!!! . #EveryDayIsAGift #RisingStrong #DaringGreatly #BreastCancerSurvivor #LongHairDontCare #blondehighlights #Happy #lifeisgood #colorist #hairoftheday #hairofinstagram #goodVibesOnly
Me & Jazzy sitting under a tree, drinking my #Shakeology!! 70+ SuperFoods that taste like a coffee Frappe? That reduces inflammation, helps digestion, boosts my immune system AND levels out my sugars (which means no cravings!!) YES PLEASE!! . I have #GratitudeInMyAttitude on National Yoga Day. I'm blessed to be cancer free, own a business that I love that lets me enjoy the sunshine and get paid to workout, I have an amazing family and this awesome tribe of women whom I couldn't live without. #TheCoachLife #LifeIsGood #Happy #ThankYou

Three years ago today I underwent a double mastectomy and reconstruction surgery to remove #BreastCancer. Today is a very special day for me. While I can physically recall the fear of going under, the anticipation of having the tumor removed, feeling my family and friends' love and prayers - it feels so good that every day is a day further away from that date. . When I was diagnosed they recommended taking it one day at a time. It was fantastic advice because it was overwhelming. If they would have said thinking about what it will be like three years later I would've come up blank. . So here we are. Hear I am. Out of nowhere the song "Roar" came on the radio yesterday. My anthem, my theme and the universe converging to tell to me not look back. . Here's my little celebration. Cheers ✨☕️💋. #EveryDayIsAGift #BestDayEver #Refuse2Sink #RisingStrong #BreastCancerSurvivor #FearlessVixen #fuckcancer #Roar #Happy #saturday #LifeIsGood #YouAreBeautiful

We must dare to be great; and we must realize that greatness is the fruit of toil and sacrifice and high courage. - Theodore Roosevelt, #TheManInTheArena . Dare to be yourself. Dare to not listen to the critics. Dare to have enough courage to walk through the roughest days and the toughest moments. Do not be weighed down by your own thoughts. Move forward right now and #Refuse2Sink. We are guaranteed to fail. Do you think Mohammad Ali walked into the ring for the first time a champion? We all start from scratch and we all get knocked down. . It's #Friday. #FailForward. Have fun. Make memories because #EveryDayIsAGift, failures included. Dare to have the #BestDayEver. 💥

"So take the photographs and still frames in your mind, Hang it on a shelf in good health and good time. Tattoos of memories...." . Can't believe we have to say goodbye to our beauty as Darlene and her family move south for the next adventure in their lives. When I started over back here in the burbs Doll was one of my first friends making the transition easier. I hope she finds some awesome new friends in her new home. . I don't think I'll wait to send her a package on the mail. She just might have to receive in person while she is still here and take it with her. . I'm not good with goodbyes but I'm blessed with a lifetime friendship and lots of memories that we made. #FriendsForever #EveryDayIsAGift #GoodbyesSuck

Day 3/43 P90X3 MMX and 22MHC Cardio 3 done. The last one did me in. Core later and I need yoga. . My tank read #EveryOneMatters and I walk the talk. When you cut open our hearts we all bleed the same color - Be strong by believing in yourself and believing you matter. They say be the change you want to see, right? So I'm doing it and I hope and pray I've been doing it all along . There's nothing you can't do and nothing that will hold you back. #BElieveinYOUrself

Fun with filters. #SnapChat silliness. Food intake was ok, two workouts instead of three. Almost 11K steps on a 15K #FitBit goal. Laughed with Bella until she fell asleep and I caught the end of Grease on tv. Jazzy drove me nuts today and I didn't get a moment's peace when I was trying to do anything. . Take the good with the bad and always end the day thinking about the best parts of the day. And maybe some laughs with #TBBT. . #EveryDayIsAGift #DreamSweet #LiveLoveLaugh #iFeelPretty #beHappy
Welcome to the glorious space of my basement. It lacks natural light and mirrors or good looking lighting but it's my escape, my getaway to #JustPlankAround whenever I want. . Accountability for Monday: flushed out the bloat with 80oz of water (one day I will float), ate clean and snacked on a frozen yogurt bar. #22MHC #HellWeekChallenge #Day 1 = Cardio 1, Cardio 2, Core 1 and I added in #BrazilButtLift because summer is coming!!! . I took off the pressure of trying to accomplish it all at once so I fit in three mini workouts. I was tired for the last one but #GotItDone!! . There's nothing quite like the feeling of accomplishment and knowing you made good choices. No #TalkOfShame in the mirror this morning which makes this Tuesdsy one to talk about!! #MakeItAGreatDay . #EveryDayIsAGift #BreastCancerSurvivor #StrongerEveryDay #PlankIt

#NeverMissAMonday I saw a pic from yesterday that was a HUGE reality check. Time to get up, get moving & kickass. No more yo Yo. I'm breaking the cycle FOR GOOD. Accountability everyday. Sorry if y'all get sick of my posts but it's going to be the only way to stick to it. . Let's do this. #WakeUpKickAssRepeat
This was a great weekend to see lots of friends. Unfortunately for us (but great for her!) my friend Darlene (on the left) is moving to Florida very soon. I did my best not to cry so we joked about how it all started. . 8 years ago when I moved back to the burbs from Brooklyn I was a wreck. No friends, Bella was just over a year and I didn't have many classes to teach. A month later I joined Stroller a strides (exercise class with the kids in strollers) and met these two beauties & instantly had two amazing friends in my life. . We have had some awesome times together and we have made heaps of memories. We will have to road trip it to see her to make more. #GoodLuck #Friends #MissYou #LoveYou #GoodbyesSUCK 💖💖

When @shauntfitness Shaun T says Find Your Life --- You #FindYourLife!!!! . I saw a picture of me today that told the story of the future ... If I don't take control of my nutrition and up my activity level my future self is going to be bigger and rounder. It's time to go basic and start from scratch. Simple prepped ahead meals and no deviations. . Th reality is my old eating habits don't fit my new metabolism. I'm just not where I was and its time to #EmbraceTheJourney and #TrustTheStruggle as well as trust myself. . Get up and Go because there will never be a perfect time to start. The time is NOW and better health is coming. ❤️

Today my friend Mark took his first walk after his #HeartTransplant on Friday. I'll write about it in my next post but I saw this quote on my feed at the same time he was live walking in the hospital. Good energy is contagious!! #NothingIsImpossible #RisingStrong #EveryDayIsAGift #Survive2Thrive thank you @rpzlrpzl for the post!
Three years ago today I took Bella to American Girl Place as a girls day out. I snapped this shot on the train platform on that beautiful sunny day. It was two weeks before my bilateral mastectomy and we made the most of it!! . Life is too short to be anything other than happy. 💖. #MondayMemories ##APicIsWorth1000Words #FeelTheVibe #LiveLoveLaugh #EveryDayIsAGift #RisingStrong ##BreastCancerSurvivor #NationalCancerSurvivorsDay

Please read: I DARE YOU TO TELL YOURSELF YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE & OUT right now. . The size of your body does not define the essence of your beauty. Real women come in all shapes and sizes.

#BodyPositive #StopBodyShaming . CHEERS to YOU for being YOU, for being UNIQUE, for being AUTHENTIC, for being in afraid to be YOURSELF & #BeYOUTiful. 💖 . What do you see when you look in the mirror? When you look at pictures of yourself? Me? I see the "pooching our" of being in my 40's. I focus on the lines of my face. I see the jowls beginning to hang from my neck. I focus I the age spots I see in my skin. . If I look at a candid pic of my full body I begin to pick it apart piece by piece. . Have you done that? You know how that makes you feel? Chances are you know how I feel. . I start to think these awful thoughts; "I'm not pretty enough, I'm not young enough, I'm not in good enough shape anymore." ... And the list goes on. Don't tell me that I shouldn't say that (because I would tell you the same thing!) or try to say I'm not any of those things. . What would you tell a friend? You'd say "hey I completely understand. That spare tire I got going on is getting to me." Why? Because it's empathy. . Empathy is important because I began that awful #TalkOfShame that we give ourselves in the mirror. #empathy is the antidote for #shame. Did you know that? . It's time to TELL others what we are saying in the mirror. I guarantee you're not alone; that I'm not alone. . After you feel the relief of a friend's understanding then look in the mirror and choose to be grateful for one thing. When I think about it I'm #grateful to be mamma to an amazing ten year old girl., that it's sunny or even my AC is fixed. . #YouAreENOUGH. Work with me to help change our perspectives, have empathy & compassion with others and ourselves and to kick shame's ass right out of here! What do you say?
