Sculpting challenge: Day 100! Also, moar "diet" food and a funny kitty pic!

So tonight I continued sculpting one of the 2nd batch of heads. I really like how the eyes aren't as pushed in, that makes me certain that I should pull the eyes back out of that first female head because I'm actually able to do something more like I want to with them properly placed. :P

I did some more work on her nose and the bridge of her nose, sculpted her brows, worked a bit on her cheeks, totally re-sculpted the lower half of her face since the chin was bigger than I wanted, completely re-sculpted her mouth, and sculpted the eyes. She's not done but she is definitely much better! I actually feel like I'm getting somewhere now, lol. I think besides the odd colour eyes (which can't be fixed until painting), she's not even all that creepy anymore!

Our diet is still coming along and I've pulled out the Wii balance board! I hadn't been playing it because our poor Wii is dying and I didn't want to use it more than necessary until we could figure out what we're going to do to replace it. We've finally found out that we can transfer our virtual console games to the Wii U, so when we can afford to get one that's totally what we're going to do. Of course, our Wii is still dying, but it's good to have a plan. I like Wii Fit, and I can use it as a scale so I can track my progress. xD

Here's today's menu, minus a couple of cheese sticks as snacks.

Moar diet foods
This was an omelet with mozzarella cheese, asparagus spears, and turkey sausage! Very tasty! :D This was after I took a bit so you could see some of the filling.

Cooking
Preview of dinner! Don't mind the splashes on the stove from the bubbling sauce! I wipe that up after dinner. n_n'

Moar diet foods
A salad to go with dinner.

Moar diet foods
One of the grilled chicken pieces finished in the tomato sauce that Scottie had made and topped with mozzarella, plus stir fry veggies in a balsamic vinegar sauce!


This really doesn't feel like dieting, though we do crave sugar! Scottie drinks regular soda so he's actually craving it more often then me. We're drinking diet soda that we make at home with our Sodastream. It's nice because you can buy the syrup to add and it's made with Splenda, not aspertame, so it won't give Scottie migraines! He still doesn't like diet soda, but it helps his soda cravings anyway. n_n'

And a bonus, the kitty decided to help Scottie play the PS3! He decided that he didn't need to sit in Scotties lap, using his arms and chest as a shelf would do. He looks so regal in this pic lol.

That food looks yummy!!! Good luck with your dieting :) How do you like your Sodastream? Is it as easy & economical as the ads claim? Does the pop stay fizzy? (You're the first person I know who has one...I've been thinking about getting one because I spend waaaaaaaay too much money on soda.)

I love that your kitty and your guy have the same expression.

I've been following a similar eating plan for the last four months and it hasn't felt like dieting either. I have a small, sweet snack with my after lunch and dinner coffee because I'd binge otherwise.

Those stir fry veggies look wonderful. Do you have a recipe for the sauce?
