Exercising Log - 5pm

Light Fit Boxing 2 today because I'm really busy today!!! Had to go help the neighbor about printing issues so i knew i only had one hour ahead. Really felt great today! I felt tired ofc, but the weather is quite mild so I didn't feel like dying, unlike yesterday.

Not sure if I'm going to keep playing more Wii Fit, because I used it to track my weight, but I noticed I was just really bloated after drinking a LOT of milk for my shakes LMAO...NEED TO BUY ALMOND MILK INSTEAD...

so now im not feeling bloated and my stomach is like usual, which is, not bloated.

"How do you know that?" I don't think you can lose 1.2kg in One Day unless my metabolism is being really nice, which, wouldn't surprise me as only gaining 14 kilos in two years despite not doing any exercise aside from the occasional dancing every few nights...

Although, good news, I think I lost all the fat I had in my chest. working on turning that into muscle somehow!!

7 day streak at exercising! For the first time in my life, I've been consistent about working out, and will, probably, soon be able to make the obligatory "guys i think working out does make you happier" tweet because ya. im feeling it

17:12 - August 31st 2023

jiro day!!! or well. hm. it's not jiro day but yeah it is in japan!!!!

the drawing i made i have literally only worked on it for one night and one morning. i feel kinda good about that, even if it means that if i worked on it more I would've been able to finish it how I wanted.

As after looking at it again, i noticed the room was quite empty....So I cropped it a bit! I still really, REALLY love the drawing.

I'm trying to get more used to how I want colors to look instead of trying to use layer modes, because sometimes, it does not work that way. but i think i could've added more folds on the shirt!

A lot of what I'm doing now makes me realize just how important reference pics are, for the like, fourth time. Each time I can't draw something, I stop drawing for a full week, then go back using reference pics and suddenly everything feels right again. not sure why I try to pretend like I can draw without references. that's hard when you're not used to many poses.

I am very much not. But that's alright! I can learn. I'm going to try and make a drawing for EVERY idol this year. It's going to be hard. But hey!! I'll learn a lot and it'll help in the future when I (eventually) open commissions.

I'm just glad that these drawings look...right? I don't know how to say it, but it feels like they just. work. In the past, whenever I drew anything, things felt off, at least to me. But now things feel coherent, I guess.
