2018

2018′s gonna be a great fricken year. I have several super dope goals, aha~

CUT WEIGHT.

So like... Not gonna lie, I gained ~15lb from the holidays. How much of it is actual fat? I have no clue. I ate out about 2x a day while in chicago, and definitely lived in the moment. I haven’t visited my family out there for the past... lord knows how many years, but it’s been a very long time. My sister went 2x in 2017 and I couldn’t go because I had work obligations.

Now, I sit at ~171 (from 175.4lb when I first landed back home), and I wanna cut down to 150-155 by Anime Expo, or at least cut down to 17-20% bodyfat. By San Japan I wanna be 145-150lb. Abs, guys. Abs.

I’ll do the weekly update thing I used to do like before, where I put my workouts and weight loss progress. :) If you don’t wanna see any of that, blacklist #con season cutting

LIFT NUMBERS

Hopefully, I can get my total lifts to 750+. Right now my total lift numbers are at 515. (235 deadlift, 165 squat, 115 bench) I have adult money now (ish) so I can actually invest in a weightlifting belt and, y’know... squat shoes and knee sleeves and all that.

CONVENTIONS/COSPLAY

So this year, I’m going to (or at least plan on attending):

Anime Matsuri (I’m most likely going to be a PA) [Houston, TX - March 29-April 1] Anime North [Toronto, Ontario - May 25-27] (Or Comicpalooza in HTX depending on the money situation) Anime Expo [Los Angeles, California - July 5-8] RTX [Austin, TX - August 3-5] San Japan [San Antonio, TX - August 31-September 2] Ikkicon [Austin, TX - (unconfirmed dates bc it like just happened)

Cosplans: Korra rework (because honestly I need new bending props and I wanna see what I can improve) Bucky Barnes (I need to mod the costume I bought a bit) Lie Ren Mulan Chrom (?????) Hawke (I seriously need to actually make this lmao)

Also? Gonna bring my Korra cosplay to AX for sure and I wanna make a filipino ABATAR group, where we can maybe do tinikling and stuff. Ayeeee~

Squad goals, guys. Squad goals.

Massive shoutout to the guys I found over the past 2 years that are also on their own fit like korra journey: @do-it-for-cosplay/ @shawnabananuh, @ryocos, @mmusclechan, and @joel-ellie. It’s crazy how one fictional character can change so many lives. At one point or another, we all decided to get as strong as we possibly can, and I’m incredibly grateful to make this journey with some of the raddest people in existence.

Guys.

I’m gonna meet you all at one point or another, okay? We can have a flex off and everything.

My Craig Cahn shirt came in today, so naturally I gotta do some push ups in it. Bodyweight stuff isn't my strong suit, LOL. Forgive my hair, I'm trying to work on stuff before San Japan hahaha.

COSFIT CLAN.

HEY. So, my fitness journey only ever really started because of cosplay, and I wanna start to encourage fellow cosplayers trying to get in shape. Keep in mind, this isn’t a “diet” or something that you do right before a con just to lose weight, this is genuinely trying to BETTER your LIFE because hey, maybe you wanna be as strong as your heroes (and you totally can be!)

Where do you sign up? Easy, just reblog this and spread the word! I’ll follow you back from my main, @autumnavatar after you reblog with the tag [#cosfit clan] so I like,,, idk, know you’re not a bot??? I know there are tons of cosfitters out there and some of the best motivation are fellow cosplayers that are gettin’ their A game on.

Whatcha waitin’ for? FLEX ON EM.

I really like using a weight I can manage without swinging for curls, but apparently you can do something to engage your shoulders more? Idk but here are my muscles.

Met an aspiring photog at San Japan. After practicing my bending for a bit he came and asked to shoot. He’s not bad at all, dontcha think?
