Vision Sunday

Even though there are 7 weeks until the Fox Cities Showdown in Oshkosh, I’ve decided not to enter to compete. I’m not bailing from a commitment to myself but rather being realistic. I am being honest about where my body is in the process and how seriously people take these competitions. I’ve read somewhere that your self-esteem is your reputation to yourself. But I’m not escaping, just changing my end goal. I’ll be setting up a photo shoot with a local photographer for the beginning of May.

It is important to keep an end goal for all of this physique and dieting that I’ve been dedicated to for at least 8 weeks now. Like today, I did the treadmill for an hour before starting my weightlifting workout. Also, I had 4 cinnamon rolls this morning! However I barely went past my calorie limit and didn’t even reach my high carb day carbs.

I started reading “Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Learning about assets and liabilities. It helps me know that my confusion/rebellion over choosing a car that costs more than my current assets is correct. Obviously I need a car but I’m not going to get myself into the commitment or burden of taking out a car loan that is more than my current savings. I’ll buy a car at a price I know I could pay out in cash if I needed to down the line. I’ve been very financially responsible so far in my adulthood. I don’t want a vehicle to throw that off course just because I want a car that still has the original warranty still in effect.

This next work week is going to be long but I’ve already made my schedule and looked at the when and where of each day to help me succeed in the goals.
I’m going to a city council meeting on Wednesday to read my short poem that will be stamped on the sidewalk in downtown Appleton.
