I DID IT!!

So turns out I won the weight challenge!!!  By 0.05% or so but it's still a win!!!!  I added $100 to my pot along (with close to $30 last week) as I didn't collect from my wife.  This brings the total pot to around $150!!!  I have more money in there in about a month or so than I did in 5-6 months before comic-con.

I want to continue to grow this pot and to do so I am going to sell some older comics I have that don't mean anything to me in the long run.  However, to someone who is trying to collect everything they can, it might be worth something.  I will post links to the kijiji file as soon as I can.

Yeah Me!!!

First Deposit

I mad it through this week with a little over $10 left as the first deposit into my comic fund.  I plan to have more this week, but we will see.

I really wish I'd done better with my weight challenge then I would have had a free $125 into the pot....again, oh well!

And the Cheating Stops!

Well not exactly, I still have the odd cheat but nowhere near as bad as the first two weeks!  As we enter the final week, I am sure I will not win out little bet as I am behind (but also discovered some foods I thought were okay, were terrible!!).  Oh well at least I am down and doing better!

And Again....

So I resisted the urge all day and was doing sooooo well, until I had to leave for work and felt like shit.  I guess there really is no excuse but regardless, I cheated.  I ate an ice cream sandwich and then when I got to work there were free chocolate bars.

However, I did resist eating a second bar and buying a cookie at Tim's (p.s. my coffee is black = not cheating).

I just need to tell myself that I really want AS1!!!!!!!!!!!! This will help me save the money!

I Cheated and I Can't Stop!!!

So, I'll admit it...I cheated.  Numerous times in fact.  Almost every day I am at work, I find some way to eat a treat (cookies, chocolate, a blizzard once and a muffin once on the same day).

I admit this freely in the hopes that admitting I have a problem will help me stop cheating in the future.  However, despite this admission I still lost weight last week and am on track to lose more this week.  If I can behave for the next two weeks, i should be able to get back on track and maybe even pass my family.

Anyway, I might be going to Comicon this weekend and might try to sell some of my old comics to raise funds for a copy of Amazing Spider-man #1.

I'll keep you updated!

Two Goals, Two Years

So starting today I am setting myself a new goals with a completion date of two years.  I would like to accomplish the following two things:

1) Get rid of my belly, and
2) Purchase a copy of Amazing Spider-man #1

Let me expand on these goals a little.  First and foremost I am not looking to become the next Mr. Universe (depending who you ask, I am already! :) ), so basically I'm not expecting abs but I do wish to cut down my belly. Secondly, it is my dream to eventually own a copy of both Amazing Spider-man #1 (first Spider-man comic) and Amazing Fantasy #15 (first appearance of Spider-man).  While I know that owning AF15 will be almost impossible unless I win the lottery, owning AS1 is within reach.

This journal will detail my progress toward these goals, what I do that works and what I do that fails.  It will serve as a way to keep myself accountable, well, to myself.  I am sure that someone at sometime will find this blog and maybe even read it...and I promise you (that random person)...I will succeed.
