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

[milleniumgypsy]

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.


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.


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


A salad to go with dinner.


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.

Thanks for all the good info! I always just assumed that the CO2 canisters & syrup wouldn’t last long and would be more expensive in the long run. Glad to know that’s not the case. Also didn’t know you could trade the canisters in for refills. So I assume you make the soda by the serving instead of making a pitcher full at a time? Do you use tap water or bottled water? (Our town has notoriously bad tap water …didn’t know if turning it to soda would mask the taste or not.)

Our town has bad tasting tap water too, but we have one of those Pur faucet filters, and before that we had a pitcher filter. I'm a fan of the faucet filter though! I'm not sure how the syrup will mask the flavor, but I'd think it would! It might not work as well unfiltered for the sparkling fruit water though as that's a much lighter flavoring! Otherwise I'd recommend a filter, it makes life so much easier and is way better than bottled water!

You make the soda a liter (I think?) at a time! You get a really nice bottle with the system. We bought an extra to go with it so we could have a cold bottle of water in the fridge to put stuff in when we finish a bottle. :D

Methinks I'm going to have to invest in one of these! Thanks so much for all your info, I really appreciate it :)
