Social Media....you confuse me!!

So, I'm trying something new. I've converted my Facebook business page for inTANsified into a more general page with a little bit of everything. I felt having my page listed as a local business that I wasn't getting the reach that I would like. My page has always included fitness articles and motivational quotes, but I want to do so much more with it. With ALL my sources to reach others. I'm still learning my way around Twitter (@intansified) I'm on Instagram, I have my personal account and also tan_lift_lashes_intansified. I'm also on Google+ as myself, Jamie Fasano, but that is also foreign to me like Twitter! At first I wasn't sure if converting my business page to a general health/beauty page (I debated with a making it a Physical Fitness, Entrepreneur or Personal Blog page)  was a good idea. Immediately I lost three viewers. I don't want people to feel as though I am discriminating against others that aren't into fitness, because that is not my intentions at all. It's all about inspiring and motivating others to find their passion and reach goals that they once felt were impossible. As a 35 year old mom of four with a crazy past, I know, if I can succeed, so can YOU! Anyway, their loss to those three viewers....they have been replaced and then some! Like I have always said, if I change just ONE persons life, then I've accomplished more than I ever thought possible. Eventually I'd like to have so many "likes" that I won't even notice when one or 20 drop off! (Any Twitter experts out there, please feel free to message me with your tips to make the most of my tweeting! Thanks!)

While being on social media today, I realized over the last couple of days there were quite a few selfies of myself. Well, not selfies, but the pics Scott took of me in my FNF gear and I thought to myself "Ah geez....I look like I'm full of myself". Funny thing though, before I post any pictures of me by myself my anxiety goes up and I get totally nervous and I want to delete it immediately. My FNF "photo shoot" (haha) was no different. I am so glad that I went ahead and shared them. I AM proud on the changes I can see physically and how I feel mentally and emotionally. The feedback has me on cloud nine. I was always so self conscious with low self esteem....to be where I am now is like day and night from those days. I look forward to continuing to work hard and share my progress. If you haven't noticed, I'm yet to share an ab shot. That's my problem area....but everything else is coming along and I'm pretty stoked. I know "abs are made in the kitchen" but damn, I love food. I've struggled with diet from day one. I've considered different meal replacement options, just to see if it would work, but then I think "could I really make dinner for the family and then sit down and DRINK my dinner with them?!" Probably not. I know what I need to do. I need to stop indulging in not so healthy dinners and not have dessert at all. Occasional ice cream isn't making abs. Well, I kind of got off track there. For the record, I'm not full of myself. Proud of what I've accomplished so far? Yes. Confident? More so than I ever have been. And it feels AWESOME!

Yup. That right there. Just do YOUR thing. Be YOURSELF. That's all I'm doing here. I've found my passion and I'm putting it out there to share with the world. Love me or hate me. But I hope you'll love me......
