Capes-n-Babes

I got a confession to make. I feel like crap. Physically, I mean.

Earlier this year, I decided that, after 20+ years, I wasn’y going to play in my men’s senior baseball league this summer. I wanted to finally dedicate at least one summer to fully committing to pushing Capes & Babes and going to as many conventions as I possibly could this year. The problem with that though is the baseball season and convention season always clash with one another.

The last couple of years, I missed a couple games here or there or I decided not to go to a convention because it conflicted with an important game. This year though, I decided to hang up my cleats and devout all of that energy to going to conventions and see what might happen. Well, what I am finding out is that I am a goal-oriented person… meaning, I’m finding I’m having a terrible time trying to motivate myself to go to the gym and workout on a regular basis. Knowing that I’m not playing any baseball during the weekends and occasionally during the week nights, I’m, lacking the proper motivation to force myself to the gym and I’m finding it extremely easy to make excuses why I can’t go – or why I shouldn’t go.

Without the challenge of a game at the end of the week, I’m finding it hard to force myself to physically prepare my body for something that will never come. I gotta make a lot of changes in my life. I don’t think they are super hard… so, instead of being all super depressing about this crap, let’s try to have some fun with it by having a Capes & Babes confession time.

I know I need to make some changes in my “lifestyle” and I know exactly what those changes are. I’m going to list mine and I challenge all of you to list some of the changes YOU know you should make in your own life – but for whatever reason (legitimate or not) you just can’t seem to pull the trigger.

Here are mine:

1) I have GOT to cut all the sodas out of my system.
I have partially done that by drinking a ton of tea whenever I get home. I just have to do it DURING the day too.

2) I have GOT to get more sleep on a daily basis.
I’m pretty good about getting the strip done by 12 – 12:30am but I waste a LOT of time in the evening too. I can easily have the strips done and posted online by 11:00pm.

3) I have to have MUCH better eating habits.
I am either eating way too much during a meal or way too little (especially during conventions). I have to find some way to start eating five small meals a day instead of sugary crap for breakfast, starve myself until noon and eat a big lunch and starve myselkf again until dinner time.

4) Those sugary, crappy breakfasts have GOT TO GO!

5) I have to do SOMETHING in the gym – even when I don’t feel like it.
I have to remember, at least SOMETHING is better than NOTHING.

Those are MY five. What are yours?

Werewolf Wednesday

No Werewolf Wednesday today as no one has sent me their photos or requested to be drawn like a Capes & Babes werewolf yet. Can’t draw what I don’t have. Right?
