Day 28: January 28, 2016 #goals

I woke up with one thing on my mind.... Modeling! 

I don't think I've ever wanted something so badly...

I was thinking about what I needed to do to make it happen....  

The different brands I want to model for...

my model body... 

The steps I'm taking to tone up and get a bit more lean... 

The plans I'm making to build my portfolio... 

Shoot, shoot, shot ... 

Restore confidence... 

Grow..

bE... 

eVoLvE...

Not a lot of words today.... 

Just dreaming... 

I'm inspired... 

                           

CK, I'm ready! 

28 days... still going strong!

Until next time, 
Stix

Day 24: January 24, 2016- The End of the Snowpocalypse

Thank God!!!

Although I was able to get out of the house on Saturday, for a little bit, I wasn't able to go as I please like I'm accustomed too. I almost thought Day 24 would be the same way! I woke up a lot earlier than I had hoped because I went to bed pretty darn early the night before... I mean... what else was there to do?? lol

I looked out of the window and saw that the sun was out, but the ice was not trying to go anywhere. I had a kickboxing class planned... I NEEDED that ice to go! I needed some normalcy and working out was just the thing! Thank God a few hours later, as it warmed up, I was able to get out and enjoy a killer workout!

After my workout, some of my friends were just as anxious to get out of the house, so we agreed to meet up a little later for a Target run (for me that meant more Starbucks), Chinese food nearby, and then a movie! We may or may not have snuck our Starbucks and Chinese food into the theater!! G-STATUS!!

There is nothing like Starbucks and a good movie to end your weekend! lol We saw Ride Along 2! I'm not a fan of Kevin Hart... I've shared this before, but overall I enjoyed the film. It had its funny parts.. it's typical Kevin Hart lines that the black folks love *rolling eyes emoji*, and a pretty good plot to keep my attention! I walked away pretty geeked about a few new movies that will be coming out this year!

Yall know that I'm about to be seeing movies quite a bit now that television is gone!

Overall a good day.. No television... I honestly don't miss it. The only thing I'm sad about is not seeing the Toni Braxton film. I told my mom that she has to keep it on her DVR forever and she answers with, "I don't know why you didn't fast from something that you can actually do..." Dang. So what is she saying... I'm not gonna make it 366 days without television!!

Ma ain't got NO FAITH IN A BREH!!! smh.

Until next time,
Stix

P.S.- My gorgeous sister's birthday was the 24th!!! Quick shout out to her!!!! Love you baby girl! And her's a pic... Isn't she the cutest??



Bye 4real now!!

#day6- January 6, 2016- Random blogging/ #WCW

Listening to: Coldplay- Everglow

Not really sure how to write this one. I wouldn't call this "writer's block..." Just a chill night of listening to music and allowing my mind to wonder. There are so many places I want to go with this one... No real plans... just random typing and thinking. Sorry... This blog is meant to let you into my mind, my way of thinking... I hope you don't mind. 

I love music... This song that I'm currently listening to literally makes me want to cry... It's not the words... It's the way it sounds...I love music... especially music that allows me to feel...*sigh* I just love it. 

Ok... anyway.... A quick review of my day. I think I'm getting the hang of my mornings. I didn't hit the snooze button and I made my bed! Tucker and I went for our walk and I made it to work on time! I haven't watched television and I haven't thought about it much. The only time I think about it is when someone asks me if I watched a show. So far it's happened only twice. Both times felt like a slap in the face because they both know about the challenge. Lol... I get it though. They have to get used to this just like I do.

As you know I have more time on my hands so I'm reading more before bed. I read an article about one my favorite people ( I have lots of favorite people... I hate to admit that I have this "fan-girl" that lives inside of me and she shows herself when she finds like qualities in celebrities ... This is one of those people), Myleik Teele. #WCW

I'm afraid to even tell you about her as my description of her wouldn't do her justice. I am literally enamored by her. That sounds gay... maybe I should say enamored with her way of living! It truly is captivating. See... This is why I can't describe her to y'all...lol My fan-girl (I'ma call her Fran) is trying to take over.  

I won't even do it... I WILL share that she is the founder and CEO of CurlBox, a subscription service that allows black women to sample natural hair products monthly. While her company is really dope, I am more impressed with her willingness to share her knowledge with anyone who will listen! She's that chick that figured it out and wants to help everyone else figure it out too. She literally wants us all to share in the freedom of living... in our  truth, in love, and in business! So many people are selfish. If they haven't made it then no one can... Or they've made it, but because they don't know their worth, they are more worried about the next chick taking their place to pay it forward. It's sad. I am proud to say that Myleik Teele is nothing like that! She's young Oprah and a big sister in my head!! 

Anyway, another favorite person of mine has a blog called xoNecole and is also just as in love with Myleik and has benefited from her podcasts and encouraging messages via social media! She talked with Myleik and blogged about it!! So many nuggets are in that blog. It's on my home screen on my iPhone to read again because there is so much to take from it. Because I'm on my self-discipline tip right now, I thought I would share this quote with you guys from Myleik. 

“Successful people have this insane amount of discipline and do things when they are tired or they don’t feel like it. I’ve seen so many people do so much in a day with very little complaining. I always say that I don’t know a successful person that doesn’t wake up early.”

This struck a cord with me because this is what all of this is about... God shared it with me at church too!! I am molding myself into what will be a successful, well disciplined person. Someone who lives life on purpose and with the intention to give it all I've got. If that means waking up early to develop a plan, barely sleeping to master a task, then so be it! Myleik is setting the standard. I love that about her!! The article is dope! You know I have the link for y'all...

Check it out!
