Do things that make YOU happy!

It has been way too long!!!


Vacation took me off track a bit and things with my Photography & Advocare have been BOOMING! Keeping me busy! LOVE it.


Anyway, I have a lot to talk about but today I am going to keep it SIMPLE and brief, I wanted to talk about something. Someone had recently said to me ' all that healthy stuff is too time consuming, I enjoy food '

UHHH yeah- ME TOO!

And then someone else had brought up to me an article about a person said that they were 'happy being fat' AND right on! If that's what works for YOU then that is fantastic!!!


here is my THOUGHT.....

Id like you all to know I do this FOR me and FOR me only.


I was NOT happy where I was. I was on 3 medications, I had pain every single damn day l. I couldn't bend over to tie my shoe I was exhausted & just had 0 energy.
 I looked at pictures and thought GROSS. I just looked gross. I looked the way I FELT. I shopped in the maternity section at times in target because they had a cuter section for clothes that fit people like ME.

  NOW, I never, ever want to be thin. I want to be STRONG. I want to run marathons and do fun obstacle courses. Running makes me HAPPY, yoga makes me HAPPY, lifting weights makes me HAPPY. HELPING other people accomplish these goals makes me HAPPY. LEARNING LOTS ABOUT NUTRITION makes me HAPPY. 
 I'm not obsessed- I enjoy my life and enjoy food. I loveeeee healthy food! I never, EVER go to bed hungry! Ever! I feel like CRAP when I eat CRAP food anyway so it truly isn't worth it. The thought of fitting into a smaller size is in fact amazing to me BECAUSE it means I've accomplished my goals - it means I worked HARD to. It's like the trophy you get after winning something.

 

Whatever you are DOING, make sure you are HAPPY doing it & that is ALL that matters!

weekends are for...

Weekends aren't the same for me as they are for others. I am only off every other weekend and those weekends "off" are spent doing my other "jobs" such as photography stuff or things for my challenges that I host... but I LOVE it. This weekend I had a surprise visitor! She literally texted me Saturday night and said "should I come tomorrow afternoon?" UM yes, I will never say NO to a visitor especially this one. <3 You only have so many people in this world that understand you and get you 100%. Luckily I have a few of those in my life including Brittany. We have been best friends since 10th grade and I wouldn't have it any other way. She is my {{person}} <3   Saturday started out "crappy" literally, had a toilet overflow that turned into a pool in our bathroom then a ceiling that was leaking. What a mess and not how I wanted to spend the first half of the day...... I spent the rest of the day meal planning for my upcomi

Adulting is HARD.

Image
Lets be honest. LIFE is NOT easy. LOTS of choices to be made, and when you are a parent the choices you make no longer just effect you-they effect your children so life gets even harder.  I spend A GOOD amount a time a week self reflecting on how far I've come and where I want to go--we go through moments in our lives of "what IF" . I tell ya, I'm SO thankful that Advocare has come into my life. I think it has helped me grow as a person, a leader, financially and health wise. Ill take you back to my early 20s. I was a lost person, mentally. I didn't know where I belonged in life. I knew a few things-- I LOVED people, I LOVED helping people, I LOVED photography, but in those early years in our lives we are told "GO TO COLLEGE , GET A DEGREE, get a JOB and thats it" but I always thought of myself as 'DIFFERENT' I never wanted to just go behind a desk and work. I get BORED very easily and like to different things. Teaching, Psycholo

Where did flash fit girl come from?

I bet a lot of you are wondering why I decided with Flash Fit Girl? Well I will tell you- I didn't come up with the name all by myself. I have to give major credit to 2 of my dearest and closet friends Ryan & Brittany ( mainly Ryan ) Sorry Britt ;) I knew I wanted a name for my blog and for ME that fit my life and what I would be sharing about. I started 2 amazing journeys a year ago... one of them was my Photography & the other was my road to BE FIT & healthy. So the Flash - My photography Fit- My Fit & Healthy Lifestyle I've always enjoyed writing since I was younger, I love sharing my story with other people. I love helping other people. I wanted to start something where I could do all of that. I am still deciding on a Photography name before I launch my website-my gosh that has been so difficult. Currently its just my name Amanda Nicole Photography but I want something different! Picking a name is hard! I cant imagine how long it will take me to name
