have a flat stomach (read all 6 entries…)
Untitled 4 days ago

Its been two years since I’ve updated this goal. I’m still at 103 lbs. Which is pretty impressive that I can maintain this weight. I know this isn’t about weight, but I feel its important to at least write it down occasionally.

I’ve been having a lot of ups and downs with my health and its been making me unable to work out at times, but I do my best to work out during my “good days”. I started this thing which I call 7miles-in-7days. Where I would walk 1 mile (averaging to about 24-32 minutes) per day. Even if its only a mile, I vary my workouts by carrying light weights, walking backwards on the treadmill, maybe a light sprint for a minute or two, or maybe some crunches.

Its a very light work-out because this is all my I handle. Auto-immune disease really sucks! My body continually attacks itself and I have to compromise my life around it. I would rather have light exercise daily than rigorous exercise 2-3 times per week. This is because if I feel completely exhausted, I won’t have energy or motivation to continue working out.

My goal is to gradually gain the stamina to add more than a mile, get stronger, fight this stupid disease, and look awesome!



Move out of my parents house into a place of my own
Same damn thing... 2 months ago

I was reading some of my old journal entries and for years its the same sh!t. I’m miserable here and I’m tired. I’ve decided to finally move out! I’m sorting out my things and going to sell most of what I own. I don’t want bring too much junk to a new place. I need to live clean and minimally.

I have some money saved, but its not enough. I don’t anticipate this to be an immediate thing, but I am hoping to be able to move out within 1-2 years.

New direction 2 months ago

Well… the artists I teamed up with two years ago started getting pretty flakey! They’re still good friends of mine, but we’ve grown apart when it comes to art.

It looks like I’m on my own again. It was a minor setback, but I just have to stay optimistic and move on. I’ve teamed up with two other friends and we’re working on a comic together. I’ve also finally joined Deviant Art and Conceptart. This should keep me inspired and within the loop!
