DAY 197 OF 365: AT WHAT POINT DO YOU RISK IT ALL AND GAMBLE ON YOURSELF?

The biggest investment that we have in life, is just that, our life. It is one of the best investments that we can make. I look at this challenge as an investment in my life. But as we all know, investments can sometimes be a gamble and costly. So at what point do we risk it all and gamble on ourselves? I have been thinking about this a lot the past couple of days. Eating healthy and working out are not cheap. Between a gym membership, training sessions, and healthier more nutritious food, the cost of a healthier me keeps adding up. But this is an investment, right? I mean, I am investing my money and energy in a longer, healthier life. I was thinking about ways in which to get more out of this challenge. The first thing that I was thinking about was the photo that I am recreating at the end of the challenge. What am I going to do with it at the end of my challenge? Am I going to frame it and hang it in my living room as a reminder of the journey that I took? That is kind of creepy. Maybe I will turn it into my holiday card. Could be interesting but I am sure not the kind of yuletide cheer that my family would want. So it got me thinking. I was looking at the photo on a small level. I am proud of the progress that I am making with my body and I am not one to be shy or modest. So why not share my story and body. Now, dirty minds, I don't mean share my body in that way. I was thinking more of sharing it in a magazine such as Men's Health or maybe even Playgirl. Could be interesting. It would also add another level to the challenge. Not only do I have to keep up with my healthy life style, but now it would be a challenge to get Men's Health or Playgirl to let me share my story and newly defined body with the masses. Thoughts? Well, I will leave you with this. What's the point of working so hard at toning my body if I can show it off? Till tomorrow.
