I started a very ambitious project tonight.
I've been meaning to do this for literally years, but I finally got off my butt and started doing it. Yay? Because... at the rate I'm going, I'll be lucky if I finish before the year is over. That is not hyperbole. It's not much right now but here's a picture anyway. Maybe I'll post some more in a week or so, if I've done anything more than large fills.
Speaking of ambitious, I didn't mention this last week, but I was EXTREMELY good with exercising all of last month: I did it every day. I even started running, and while I've had to quit for now -- a blister on my foot sidelined me and now I've got dance practice all day errr day as my cardio -- I was running a mile and a half (2400 m) three times a week in about 18 minutes (12:00/mi; 7:30/km). It's not fast at ALL, but from doing squat a month ago, I'm pretty damn proud of myself. I'd been doing a little bit of weight training along with it, using three-pound weights (dear god I'm out of shape). It was hell that first week, but I got used to it and now I'm using new five-pound weights for most of those exercises. I have to start slow again (I'm talking like ten sets of two reps for some things lol) but it feels really good. I can't tell if I've lost weight (I don't think so), but I sure do feel muscle in my arms that hasn't been there in a few years. Feels nice.
I already talked about NYCC a couple of days ago, but I haven't heard back from them since I sent the last e-mail. *sighs* But Hetalia Day is underway: sent out an e-mail to the admins tonight, and we're figuring out who wants to do which job and if there are any questions left off the attendance survey. We're a team of seven this year (YEEEEEEEES) so things should go pretty smoothly! :D
...I just had some tea so I daresay it put me in a fantastic mood.
