Bikini

Alrighty, so thanks to my friend Karla, whom has given me the courage to wear a bikini in public (of course at around sunset so the lighting isn't so good) has inspired me to break down and buy my first bikini.  So I did, they were on sale and I just got a cheap one to start out with.  Now by no means do I feel completely comfortable trotting around in it, because of stretch marks and such, but I do feel pretty good wearing it.  It defines a goal in my life that I never thought I would achieve and it actually came before getting my surgery, so it's a bit of a shock to me that it's all starting to perfectly fall in place.  My goal, that has plagued me since the birth of my oldest son, was to wear a bikini in public.  A few weeks ago, I did just that.  Granted, I was with some of my most trusted, closest and supportive friends which made wearing said bikini that much easier.  I'm sure they were probably just being super nice telling me how great I looked, but it really did something for me.  It made me proud that I had lost all 45 pounds so far and despite the stretch marks and bit of saggy skin, I felt pretty darn good.  It was sort of a freeing experience which is why, even though Karla gave me the bikini she made me try on that day, I felt I needed to actually purchase a bikini for myself, that was my own that I picked out and that I bought.

So even though I'm not quite to the point of strutting in a bikini in front of a bunch of random strangers, I am confident enough to do it in front of the people who are always cheering for me, who love me, who support me and who inspire me.

With all the love and gratitude in my heart, this is dedicated to you, my suppoort team of the most amazing people I know.  You are my family and my heart! MUAH!!

Love,

Still Alive!

Ok, I swear I am still alive, really! I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while, but not much has happened. I still weigh the same (boo!) My measurements are still the same (double boo)! I really need a day job, cuz this working overnights is really starting to get to me. I am starting to thrive for normalcy. I have one more workout left in my Push Circuit then I will be starting the final "Lean" circuit, which is 4 weeks long. I haven't been able to get TurboFire yet, so if anyone wants to get me a gift (I do have a bday coming up in October >wink, wink<) there's your idea.

I am trying to get my own business going, which is Internet marketing. I still have a lot to get it set up. With working full time, it may take me a little bit to get that up and running, but I will get there, I swear! Oh and get this, the name of my business is called Red Phoenix Solutions!! YAY!! So if any of you out there need some type of marketing done for your business, mostly videos for the internet to get customers to your sight and to get more paying customers, I am your girl! Of course that will expand, but that's how I am starting out. So anyway, thought I would just do a quick update about my busy life, oh and still working on making my surgery happen, make take slightly longer to get it than I originally wanted, but I will get it!

Peace out!

Love,
Skinny Phoenix
