Y’all it’s been 3 LONG years since the last blog post. As we continue to transition post-pandemic to the “NEW NORMAL”, we have all encountered major lifestyle adjustments as a result of having to social distance, work-from-home, and even online grocery shopping. It’s most important to recognize how quickly we all adapted to the “NEW NORMAL” ; AND we quickly use this as an excuse for not sticking to our routines to meet our health and fitness goals. (I AM ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE). Phoenix Silhouettes tried to engage with customers by offering online challenges, posting meal prep ideas, digital content creation i.e. reels and TikTok videos; however, I WAS NOT CONSISTENT. So, I’m BACK….well KINDA!!!
Quick RECAP Jan 2020 - Dec 2022
In a nutshell, Phoenix Silhouettes, did not make any major changes or adjustments at the height of the pandemic with the exception of COVID protocols for selling merchandise. In 2020, I was still working full-time in a Corporate position with VERY LONG HOURS including WEEKENDS. Like so many, I became extremely lazy and sedentary which slowly packed on the pounds. I was NOT focusing on myself AT ALL. Phoenix Silhouettes held several challenges to jumpstart weight loss and get folks moving but as soon as the challenge ended, so did the motivation. Clearly, I need Phoenix Silhouettes and the supporters to keep me MOTIVATED. By September 2021, I had to undergo a hysterectomy. This surgery did a number on me to say the least. Fast forward to December 2022, I was at the doctor reviewing my chart and realized I gained an ASTONISHING 28 lbs. since the start of the pandemic. I was floored. What happened? How did I let this happen? Well, let me backup just a bit. I resigned from the Corporate position in February 2022 and started full-time life on the road with my husband in the 18-wheeler, THAT’S RIGHT #TruckersLife. I tried to stay the course with truck-stop workouts but again, this was NOT consistent. I am disappointed in my lack of will-power and motivation considering the tools and resources available at my fingertips. I am not going to beat-up on myself. I am going to GET MY SHIT TOGETHER, so that’s what I’m doing.
WORKING ON THE MASTER PLAN - March 2023
I am redirecting my time and energy to better myself and Phoenix Silhouettes. It’s important to stay the course for all my long time supporters, newcomers, and most of all MYSELF!! I have several new ventures in the works to provide the overall motivation and support needed for a complete Mental Health, Fitness Health, and Financial Health journey. It will definitely be baby steps and your participation and support will be absolutely necessary to get the services up and running.
FIRST - I’m dedicating 60 days to reboot my metabolism for ultimate fat burning…#TEAMKETO. I will perform some type of activity 3 - 4 days a week for at least 30 minutes, #NOEXCUSES. Any supporter that wants to join, just let me know since this is NOT a formal challenge. I will plan a formal challenge in the Spring to prepare for the Summer.
SECOND - I want to start blogging at least every other month (monthly might be too much too soon but we shall see). I will start posting more content including reels on Instagram and Facebook as well as TikTok. I want to start sharing more of my life relevant to the needs of my supporters. I am open to suggestions and content ideas.
THIRD - I will be looking to partner with other small businesses who stand on the similar principles and values of embracing beautiful women in all shapes and sizes to help boost SELF-ESTEEM, display CONFIDENCE, and Live Life Like A BOSS. This not only includes body image but mental health and financial stability. There are many resources available but sometimes you just need that extra push from a Coach or someone who can walk with you through your journey. Stay Tuned…..
That’s enough for now….Let’s Get this Party Started….
Just a reminder…..Available Garments - view details under Phoenix Pheathers (the Products). As always, let me know if you have any questions.
