That sucks, but give it time. I have had adverse reactions with some of my tattoo work and all I can say is give it time, and take extra good care of the skin. My tattoos take a long time to heal and the ski almost feels chapped for awhile, I use nivea cream moisturizer three times a day and in time the skin feels normal again. I agree with not getting it. Touched up, at least not yet. No since in fixing something that is raised and probably not. Completely healed and settled into the skin.

It’s late but I think I’m going to join in.. This is a great way to make myself accountable.
I started setting goals last week, so this post will publicized those goals and be and update on progress.
My goals are 60 days goals in a hope to be where I want to be before my trip to China in August.
Goal: Lose 20lbs or two dress sizes. (starting weight: 175, size:12)

How I am going to get there:
Go to boot camp work out classes Mon-Thursday.
Include 2 days of flexibility training
1 day of pole conditioning
Eat more veggies, and protein with less emphasis on grains and fruit in my diet.

So this week I’ve done ok, I went to the boot camp classes Tuesday – Thursday. I did ok with my diet but still didn’t get enough veggies or protein throughout the week. And haven’t done any stretching or pole work as of yet. I plan on doing pile work and stretching on my “off” days from the boot camp classes since they are super intense.

Good luck to all and keep up working towards your goals! YOU CAN DO IT!

Thanks dustbunny! I actually have a stationary pole already, and plan on buying the veena lessons once I know where my energy level is going to be after work and the fitness class. 🙂 Hoping that I can use this to build confidence before going to a Studio. And as supplement to studio work once I get started.
