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,

#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,

#day16- January 16, 2016: I liked today!

Let me tell you! Today was a good day! *in my Ice Cube voice*

Well... I could have done without going to work but hey... Gotta make this money.

After work, I participated in a free boxing class at Title Boxing Club! OMG!! Best workout I've had in a minute. The class started with 15 minutes of cardio and ended with a 15 minute ab workout! We hit the bag in between those workouts. Can you say killer?!?! I was pretty proud of how well I was able to keep up!! 

Between the kickboxing class that I took last week and this boxing class, the boxing class is definitely my favorite!  I have 9 more classes of the kickboxing class. I'll definitely finish that out. I was offered a $10 follow up class at title boxing club! I'm definitely taking that offer. With the way I'm feeling, I know this is just the thing to get me toned and back in shape while having fun! I met some pretty cool people as well. 

I've been looking into yoga too. Lol This is what not watching television will do to you!! It will have you doing all kinds of random stuff. 

I had a modeling audition for a fashion show an hour after my boxing class. I wasn't sure if I would be able to walk in my heels. My body was literally shaking when I left. We worked hard. Anyway, I felt something I've never felt before my modeling audition that I'm currently battling with...

Usually right before my auditions, I gain this weird confidence that I don't normally have. It's like I become someone else and I just go for it... Not today! I was fine right before I made it to the audition. Once I parked... something happened. I literally almost turned around. I had no confidence. I began to doubt myself... literally up until I walked into the room. It wasn't nerves... I think I didn't feel worthy of being in the show. 

I've been modeling off and on...working shows here and there, but this felt different. I've been to this particular fashion show before that I auditioned for. It's an awesome show. I think I believed in my mind that I wouldn't get it.

It was so weird... 

I walked into the audition... 

answered a few questions... 

I was told music would come on and I would walk twice...

Then it happened y'all...

Beyonce's "Blow" came on and I just knew... It was a sign from the Lord himself!! 

Bahahahahaha!!! Ok.... maybe it wasn't a sign, but it did put a smile on my face.

Oh wait... For all my new readers, Beyonce is bae! Know that! I'm sure she'll make one of my #wcw posts. (Now... back to my audition)

I walked twice, they clapped (which was weird), and I was done! They asked how tall I was and for my measurements (which I couldn't remember... Not good in the modeling world) and went on my way! 

I felt a bit defeated walking out because I wasn't prepared with my measurements! I beat myself up about it... kind of went back into my little bubble of self-doubt and idk... blah-ness! 

Thank God for my bestie-cousin, Lauren for the pep talk. It was just what I needed to get over it.... And guess what...

I got the gig! Haaaaaaaa! Boom!

A few lessons.... I gotta believe in myself more, be more prepared, and take this a bit more seriously! Oh and say no when one of my model friend's asks me to hang out when I know I've been up since early in the morning and doing the most all day. I am literally writing this blog while standing up on the top floor of ACME while she is somewhere in the middle of the dance floor getting her life! I'm cold and ready to go home... lol smh...

All in all though...Today was a good day!! I exercised quite a bit... Mind, body, and soul... Soul?? How did I exercise my soul?? I'ono! And to top it all off, I ended the day with 14,361 steps!!

 BOOM!

Until next time,
