5lbs, Bridesmaids and Photo Shoots



Hello my beautiful friends I hope all is well. It is 10:02pm on Thursday and I just lied down to go to sleep, and then remembered I haven’t written in a couple days. So I just I will just tell you about what an amazing day I had.

This morning I got up, did my morning workout and ate my breakfast. Once I got to school I did my makeup then walked to Starbucks for my Skinny Vanilla Latte. About 35 minutes in to school one of the “Masters” educators came in to my classroom and asked if anyone wanted to be a model for the Masters Graduation photo shoot. Seeing as how my roots were about an inch along and I had about 3 different colors in my hair; I raised my had an shouted “ME!!”.  I was so excited!  The student I was going to be working with wanted to make my hair a dark purple color and do a little bit of cutting. I was all about it. I love getting my hair played with.  As I sat in his chair from 9:45am to 3pm I snacked on things like yogurt and fruit because I wasn’t going to be getting a real lunch but I wanted something healthy. Mind you, the only thing they had to snack on in the class was donuts, bagels, cream cheese and orange juice. Can I tell you how much I hated life watching everyone eat that crap….ugh.

Anyways, after the very long process of getting my hair done, my very talented friend Felix did my makeup “pinup style”. We went into the next room over to get our photos done and I cannot explain to you how fucking nervous I was. I was literally stand in a room full of people and yes I may go to school with them, but being a big girl has made me have serious stage fright… As Brian pointed the camera at me he tried to get me to relax, but I was just so nervous that he kept making me laugh. Then he said the thing that made me so happy and also made me feel a WHOLE lot more comfortable; “Phoenix, did you lose wait?” He made me relax and have such a soft smile because I thought it was so cool that he noticed. In fact multiple people have been noticing since we all got back from break. I am very proud to tell you that since I have started the workout routine a week ago I have already lost 5 pounds.

I weighed myself this past Tuesday and I was so excited when I looked on the scale and it said I lost 5 pounds. That same day I had received an email from my gorgeous cousin that is getting married. She sent me the pictures of all the things I was going to need as a brides maid. The dress she picked out is beautiful. Its definitely not one of thoughs awful fluffy bridesmaids dress that look terrible on anyone. The dress is very low cut in the back and all I kept thinking to myself was “thank you lord I was working on losing weight” because I’m sorry, but back fat is not cute and not everyone likes to talk about it, but it is damn sure there. So that kind of gave me the little boost to keep on going.

Well I hope everyone is doing great with their goals. No matter what they are, if you are having trouble with them just keep tell yourself, you are an amazing beautiful person who deserves to feel good about yourself and be healthy. Remember you can do it and if you have any questions, suggestions or comments I would be happy to answer.  Have an amazing night <3

All my love,

Phoenix
