Day 1387 of 365 4 lyf. The problem with falling this far behind is that whenever I try to catch up, I don’t remember what I was doing on that day anymore. So ummm, I guess I was doing P90X and decided to take a pic of all the weights I was lifting. There’s a…

Day 710 of 365 More.

I’ve been saying that I needed to work out more for weeks. But I’ve put it off. Now Jammy Jam is fast approaching and I feel like a disgusting slob. I was telling myself tonight that I had to work out but then I had a lot of comic strip stuff to do, and I’m going to have a hella busy week so I didn’t want to not do that.

But I needed to do a 365 for tonight too. So I combined. It wasn’t a big workout, maybe 10-15 min of weight lifting, but i figure it’s better than nothing.

Still, I really need to pick things up.

Day 669 of 365 More.

In some ways I miss last year. This time last year I was unemployed and looking for work. Looking for work only takes so much time out of your week, so the rest of the time I spent working on photography and working out like I was in prison.

I was in great shape.

I’m not anymore. I’m fat and flabby and generally just not comfortable in my body. I spend most of my day at work and most of my evenings working on the comic strip or the podcast. It doesn’t leave a lot of time for anything else.

Don’t get me wrong, I love doing the podcast and Hellcats is a childhood dream come true. I mean, I’d be happier with both of them if I had more of an audience, but I’m hopeful that will happen.

I just don’t much like looking in the mirror or looking at pictures of me anymore.

So I took a break tonight and did some weight lifting. I don’t really feel like I look any better, but it’s a start. I need to work on the strip some more tonight, but if I can do that and still convince myself to get up early tomorrow, maybe I’ll put in 30 min. on the elliptical.

It’s time to bring sexy back one more time.

There’s a funny thing about shooting a tarot deck, that you might have noticed if you’ve been paying attention. I have a lot more female models than male ones. Even for the cards that have to be naked, its just a lot easier to find women willing to pose for the deck than men. Its funny, because in real life, you’d expect the exact opposite.

Luckily, I have a large selection of professional wrestling friends to draw from when I need male models. Joe was willing to pose for my strength card.

I’m pretty happy with how it turned out as well. Pretty much exactly what I was going for. BUt still comments and criticism highly welcome.

26 cards done. That’s 1/3 of the way through. Whee!
