Had a mess around with blending some of the waterbased markers on palette. Come out nicely. Thrift is a bit pink, should have used a colour closer to the purple end of the spectrum. It looks nice though so i dont want to mess with it and spoil the nice colour texture i managed to get.
tried the wash on the page technique, did not work with this paper and bled through. Mixing and diluting it on a palette was excellent though and a lot of fun.

yes, well, That was kind of expected 🤦♀️. Screwed up my calories by almost 2 thousand this last week. Will try harder not to binge junk food going forward.
back to the return of the scales, as i think i need to be more exact about what I'm eating. Hoping that helps over the next few weeks
edit: just realised ive actually managed to put some weight on since we started this round. So annoying.
all i can think to do is just try harder to stick with the 1450kals.
Sorry to hear about the pre-diabetes mate, but good thing you caught it while it's still reversible at least. Hope it doesn't take too longer for your body to adapt to the lower sugar diet.

Back to work, but only for a week and a half. Turns out I'm kicking off the summer holiday season and since everyone's getting 2 weeks off, I was asked for reasons of equality to clip 2 days off the original plan. No biggie, I'm still taking Thursday off to pick deffy up from the airport, working Friday, then we get the weekend to ourselves, working Monday again and it's off to the rest of our 2 week break. The downside is I need to really push myself in this remaining week and a half so I can be gone without any pending issues. It's about being professional but also because if I don't. there's a chance stuff will go tits up at my expense and/or I might get pulled back in to salvage something.
Gave myself the evening off as a rest day, because I was feeling really low on energy. It didn't make sense too, because I was straight in from Easter holidays and didn't exacly work that hard to justify my state. After some thinking, I decided it was probably lack of sleep (had less than my absolute minimum of 6 hours to be functional) combined with the shock of adjusting to a new eating plan of less carbs, less calories and longer gaps between meals (I guess you could technically call it fasting). Thus I went to bed early to catch up on sleep, but not before at least having a quick chat with my wonderful girlfriend.
