#day76- March 16, 2016- Now THAT'S CRAY!!

Ok... I was ranting on my last post... My bad! I didn't even update y'all!! And now that I'm sitting in the tire shop with nothing but time, I'll update y'all on what's been up!! (This was written a couple of days ago... And I don't feel like editing so...) 

Sorry for the month off! While daily blogging  seemed ideal, it just isn't realistic. I am allowing the blogs to form naturally! I write better that way!! 

I apologize in advance if they seem longer because... well... I'll have more to say... Since I'm not blogging as much! 

Quick update:

I've watched two and a half shows/events on TV! The Grammy's, The Oscars, and half-time of the Super Bowl (because... Beyonce, duh!) I also watched a Nina Simone documentary which was pretty darn amazing! I'm sure I'll blog about that because I learned a thing or two from it! Anyway, someone was disappointed that I "watched" television and to them I shared this, "Television is no longer my norm and it never will be again." I went from watching television all the time to having no desire to grab my remote control and that was my goal! Without television, I am on an awesome journey of self-discovery and I'm happy about that! 

I'm reading more and looking to making some changes in my life! One of those changes is transitioning to a plant-based diet! If you know me, that freakin sounds impossible. My cousin once told me that when I started eating/craving salad and fruit that's when she'll know that I'm pregnant. Lol to elaborate a bit, I have never been a fan of raw foods!! Salad is gross and fruit never tastes the same... With that in mind, I gave it up all together. I only eat salad when I feel horrible about my eating habits at the time and I only eat fruit in the can. 

Why are you thinking of a plant-based diet now?!! Good question... Simply put... I am tired of being unhealthy. I can only go to fast food restaurants so much... And just recently I learned that I have the flu!! (This is more up-to-date, as I found out I had the flu shortly after leaving the tire shop... Again.. Sorry... I'm being lazy) I can't help but wonder if my eating habits were different, would I have the flu?!  Would my body be able to fight against such a harsh sickness if I were eating better than I have been and/or resting more! ?! And everybody knows I freakin work like a Hebrew slave... Not because I have to... But I want to! It's just in me to work hard for what I want... *shrugs*

With that in my mind, I'm doing my research and we'll see where I end up. I'm leaning towards a healthier diet.. even if that means training my mind (because it's mostly mental) and my palate to enjoy raw foods and let go of the meat and diary! Jesus, I need your help!!!? Laaaaaaaawd! 

So that's what's been up with me!! Keep cheering me on y'all!! Television is no longer the struggle! It's my diet now!! This is exactly why my blog is called 366 days of cray! You never know what you're going to get! It's also why my first blog mentioned this all being about self discovery! I'm really getting to know myself through this journey... The things you'll learn when you give up the thing that's kept you bound... Television robbed me of idle time.. Time to think... Learn... and potentially grow! I couldn't have chosen a better time to rid myself of television! I'm learning... Super dope! 

Oh in other news... I'll have an update soon with modeling!! *fingers crossed*!Thanks to my homies who have much more faith in me than I do myself. They are saying that I have the gig already... So following suit...  I'm claiming that the gig is already booked as well.  I'll let you know when I get the official call/email! 

More on that later... 

Until next time,

#Day 17- Ouch!!

I was super sore on the 17th day which kind of got in the way of my plans to clean. I don't know if I went too hard at my boxing class or what because my neck felt like I was in the boxing ring with a 200lb man!! It was crazy.

It wasn't exactly a lazy day though. I managed to get a much needed manicure, have dinner with friends, and try a new cupcake spot in Nashville called, "Sprinkles." The place has a freakin' cupcake ATM that dispenses cupcakes 24/7! Umm... Where the heck have you been all of my life!! Good stuff! They have cute little puppy cupcakes as well! You know I had to buy Tucker one!!

Something disappointing happened, but I'm going to say it needed to happen! The agency that I am signed with did something a bit shady in my opinion! I won't say what, but it definitely put some fire under my butt to do what I need to do to put myself out there more as a model! I am working with a photographer now to set up a shoot to build my portfolio and show everyone just how I serious I am!! 

It was just the motivation I needed to show everyone what I can do and how much of a BOSSSSSSS I am... lol maybe not a boss yet, but she's on her way! 

Expect updates from that soon...

I'm a day late... smh... But Until next time,

#day15- January 15, 2016: Lame post.com II

Hey y'all! 

Another lame post ahead... You've been warned. 

I babysat for one of my favorite families from 7:30pm until 1am in the morning. It was the first time that I felt tempted to watch television!!! Like... who would have known?!!! Y'all wouldn't have. lol I'm committed to being disciplined in this area! I did NOT watch television!! Instead, I read a bit, wrote two lame blog posts to catch up, and talked on the phone!! 

I'm winning!

I recognize that if I don't start doing something interesting, outside of not watching television, then this blog could turn into the ultimate BORE! 

Working on it...

Until next time,
