GOALS so far...

Well its a 1/4th into 2012 and I wanted to check on my 2012 goals I stated and see how we are doing.

1-I will go to more conventions and sell well. -- Well, this one got slightly changed because I am only doing one convention. But I got plans and I am coming loaded for bare. Or is it Bear? I don't know. Either way, I am going there and gonna rock out. Heroes Con. Get my name on it!

2-I will get out of Debt. -- The wife and I set out a plan and so far, its working. The first quarter of the year was really tight. But we got her bonus coming on Monday hopefully, and a couple major bills will be gone as a result. Then the rest will fall in line. It will really free us up! So its happening! Feels good to be in control once again.

3-I will finish all projects. -- Working on it! So far, so good! Just gotta get caught up more on Anna 2 I say. The rest is all in motion.

4-I will stay on a schedule of exercise and artwork creation. -- This one could use some work. I say every week I have two solid days of artworking. The rest is catching up on sleep or being a daddy. And then the day job comes into the mix. We're short handed at work and thus I am getting more hours. I don't mind so much because it helps control the debt thing. So this one, will be in flux of course. Exercise? Outside of walking once and doing some light stuff around the house has been non-existant.

and the big one...

5-I will lose at least 60 pounds. -- Obviously, I haven't done this at all. Again, the first quarter was a financially tight one, and "diet foods" are certainly not a help price-wise. Plus I also felt that there's a lot in my head that is keeping me from starting it. I am exploring my options as to what to do about it. Therapy? Counseling? a trainer? Psycotropic experience? Whatever I need, I gotta get going on it. I tracked the possibility of 2 pounds a week and if I started this monday, I could be down almost 40 pounds by Heroes Con. Man it would feel great to get the comments there! Really boost my ego and my confidence. It would be hard work and constant daily routine change. Like hit the wall, do or die time. It should be. Cause I have been treading water so far all year. But the sun is out, the air is flowing, spring and change is in the air. Time to get moving I say.

Remember I stated that if I fail in any of these things that I would retire from comics for good. Its time for my Rocky montage to get rolling on a couple of these things. I can't help but think if I had stuck to my plan of starting on January first, I would be minus 25-35 pounds right now and well on my way! But I cannot beat myself up over that. I just gotta get going.

Have a great weekend everyone!
