Jazzy giving Bella some love this morning after Bella spent a few hours being sick this morning. Thankfully it was short lived and I got to introduce my favorite movie to her today!!

Survivor Sisters 💗💜 Got to lunch with my beautiful sis recently. I love this pic of us and I’m laughing. There was once a time Tina was the redhead and I was the blonde!! #ButWeHaveHairNow #OvarianCancer #breastcancerawareness #GetChecked #PinkRibbon #PurpleRibbon #Survive2Thrive

The reality of cancer is you’re never really “done” with it. I love my medical team and I love my hospital #MemorialSloanKettering but it takes love, strength, prayers and some good juju to squash the anticipation of a negative follow up visit with any of your doctors, scans and tests. . I choose #LoveOvwrFear while walking in y purpose of being Ali e and healthy and spreading awareness. My passion for health and fitness continues to allow me to bring good health to so many others. . I was given the chance to fight cancer and not only survive but thrive. I refuse to squander the chance to live a full life while worrying about what may or may not come. That doesn’t imply o don’t have my doubts some days. Sometimes you wonder why something hurts or if a cold is just a cold - but I continue to have #FaithOverFear and keep moving forward. Life is too short to do otherwise. . 1:8 women will be diagnosed with #breastcancer and that means a woman in the US is diagnosed EVERY TWO MINUTES. If you want that chance to #SurviveAndThrive then you better #CheckYourself and #getChecked. Schedule not only your #Mammogram but a sonogram too. . I don’t want anyone to go through it but if you do I pray it’s early and with me you’ll never have to go it alone. . #4YearSurvivor #BreastCancerAwareness #PinkRibbon #BCaStrength #breastcancersurvivor

4 yeas ago today I finally shaved what little was left of my hair. Chemo is scary because your hair falls out but as soon as it happens you realize, no matter how much it sucjs, it’s no longer a big deal. It’s just hair. #ipromise#breastcancerawareness #breastcancer #cancer #Survivor #fuckcancer #fearlessvixenfitness #cancerVixen #PrincessWarrior #Mastectomy #pinkRibbon #Pinktober

“You beat cancer by HOW you live, WHY you live & in the manner in which you live.” #StuartScott I choose LOVE & GRATITUDE and surrounding myself with people who will take me higher. Just like my Yoga family who was there for me every step of the way during my #CancerJourney. I can’t believe I left them for so long but I’m so happy to be back on my mat at the best hot yoga studio on the island! . This month’s challenge is 30 days of Yoga 🕉. It happens to coincide with #BreastCancerAwareness month which fuels my desire to continue to educate women on facts and give them the courage they need to get screened. . I know it’s scary, but we are on day 3 of October and I’ve already had two friends tell me they found lumps. I pray that it’s nothing for both of them (send prayers please) but I’m very happy they were courageous enough to do something about it!! Too many women get scared. Don’t wait!! Early detection gives you the chance to do something about it and then go live a full life. I’m a survivor. DM 6.18.13 with recon. 8 rounds ACT chemo as a preventative measure. No rads. Final surgery 12.31.13. I’m so happy to say that almost 4.5 years have passed since I found my lump. Today I have a big smile on my face because #EveryDayIsAGift and that I continue to #ChooseLove even in this scary and crazy time. .

#ChooseLoveOverFear My heart💔aches. If we do nothing, like we did after mourning the tiny lives of Sandy Hook, then we know this will happen again. . #iWillNeverUnderstand #PrayForVegas #OneLove

A feeding schedule works best for me because then I don't sit down and just keep eating whatever is in the pantry. BUT it means I count down til I can eat again. ARE YOU WITH ME?? 🍴⏰⏳🍽

I am alive & kicking!!! MRI at 11:30. 💥💥💥

#ShiftShop #Week2 Complete - with Blood Sweat & Tears. I've been managing a swollen knee for 10 days. It's driving me CRAYYYYzy because I'm frustrated at the things I know I Can Do but I'm forced NOT to do them because of injury. But I kept hearing @chrisdowningfitness Chris Downing say, "So what if you have to modify???? You're getting better, EVERY DAY!!!" By the end of the workout o just cried. Really hard. Because I've said this to countless people through the years and never really had anyone to say it to me. Switching roles from leading a class to. Ring lead wasn't an easy transition - but when I let go of the vision of everything I COULD DO and everything I USED to be able to do - then it all started to fall into place. . I broke. Mentally and physically and I think it's exactly what I needed to finish this week wth a wink and a smile 😉😄. While I still think it royally sucks to be injured I'm working through it and I'm very proud to say I NEVER GAVE UP & some of that warrior princess vibe from kicking fighting BC finally kicked back in!!!! #SurviveAndConquer - there's an obstacle in my way and I'm focusing on the person I will be when I get on the other side of that WALL that I personally built, solidified and banged my head against for too long. I refuse to tear it down. That takes too much time and effort. I'm gonna find me way around it or over the damn thing. Cuz what I want and what I need is on the other side of that wall. #SeeYouOnTheOtherSide. #MakeTheShift

#WeekOne DONE ✅!!! HAPPY DANCE!! I didn't uphold my end of the bargain with eating clean 95% of the time but I did my BEST and loved myself up even when I made mistakes. Nope, no shaming in the mirror because of a poor choice. It's just a message rolled up in the mess on this hot mess express!! I'm PROUD to have stayed consistent for the entire 7 days, despite a swollen knee and heck just cuz it's The weekend!! I did it for me, my coach and our girls who are doing this with me. I won't let anyone down this time !! #ShiftShop is elevating my mental and physical fitness. #WeAreOne and I love it!!! LOVE YourSelf!!!! ❤️☀️✨🎊

Love Yourself Up All The Time, Through Both the Good & The Bad 💗

PESTO CHANGE-O 🥗 . My mom brought over a crazy amount of Basil which means Pesto Sauce!! This is Basil walnut Pesto and it's Leftover just like the chicken from Tuesday night's dinner. All I did was place it on top of arugula with tomatoes, peppers and mushrooms. Added a drizzle of EVOO and avocado on top! What did you eat for lunch? . #LunchIsServed #GetInMyBelly

SURVIVE & CONQUER then SHARE YOUR JOURNEY 🎀 Oncologist Follow Up Today . Nobody knows what it's like to hear the words, or in my case hear Charlie Brown's teacher mumble the words, YOU HAVE CANCER. 😰😤😓😫🙃😳. In an instant you go thru a tumult of emotions all at once. It's sickening, it's fearful, it's outrageous, it can't be and crazy. This can't be happening to me, right?? This report is wrong - how could I have it? What did I do? (Insert your own emotions here). . I think we all question, "Why Me?" . I quickly realized the answer to that question didn't matter. My first thought was of my daughter Bella, she had just turned 7. These were the exact words in my head, "NOBODY IS TAKING ME AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER UNTIL IM GDAMN GOOD AND READY!" 💥 . It wasn't that simple - but it set forth a determination to kick cancer's ass. I didn't look Fear in the face because I refuse to give it life - it didn't have a face. It didn't exist. I was Fear-less because I chose to have faith and trust the journey and my medical team. . FOUR YEARS LATER - I can finally answer that question, Why Me? This quote - "You Have Been Assigned This Mountain to Show Others IT CAN BE MOVED" represents my reason. If I can give a person strength and hope by showing them I've been through the worst, kicked ass and survived this roller coaster (as others showed me!) then it was worth it. . I can't say it's been all easy PEASY but I can show you that f you take it one day at a time and stay focused on doing all that you can, you will one day be on the other side of that cancer mountain - or you will have removed it completely. NEVER GIVE UP - cry, kick, scream, whatever. Just do what ya gotta do to get through it. Because you will. #FaithOverFear . #BreastCancerSurvivor #BreastCancerAwareness #badass #FearlessVixenFitness #cancervixen #Msk #MemorialSloanKettering #mastectomy #chemo #fuckCancer #NeverGiveUp #YouGotThis #PinkPower #pinkSister #PowerOfPink

Imagine a world where we supported each other and celebrated our differences. We all want to be liked by the other. While that may be impossible, the truth is, life would be incredible with positive affirmations rather than the cattiness and disgust. #LoveMyTribe I wouldn't be here without them. They didn't let me give up and they wouldn't let me leave. What's better than that when you are in need??
