Anim07734 Posted May 1, 2019 Report Share Posted May 1, 2019 So I kind of left my last challenge hanging and am late starting this one because of a work trip, but I'm happy to say I've done fairly well keeping up with most of my goals. Magic cards are sorted, so now I just have to decide how I want to sell them. Probably going to give my brothers first shot for cheap B-day presents. Got one of the four shelves installed, and the others are just waiting until the fiancee and I finalize where they're going. Got the Buttercup dress finished, though I've since been told it doesn't fit anymore. Again, just waiting on a day together to figure out what needs to be adjusted. Diet stalled during the trip, but I did enough walking to keep my waist from growing and may have even put on some muscle. Or it's just water weight fluctuation. *shrug* Either way, the waist measurement is what I'm actually concerned with, and I'm still on track there. Visited a bunch of museums and the zoo, but the coolest part (and sidequest related) was meeting Sue the T-rex. The big event for this challenge is Megacon Orlando on the 17th. We're only doing one day, so I only have to worry about one costume, but I'm making a tracksuit from scratch. I started the pants Sunday after I got back, and after tonight's work just need to add the waistband and hem. So I'm hoping to start the jacket this weekend and finish sometime next week. If I have time after that, I'll decide if I want to remake the hat and paint the shirt. Other goals for the challenge are pretty much the same: -Calorie Counting Daily -Weigh-in/Waist Measurement Weekly -"Workout" 5 Time a Week 2 Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option.

Nice... good display on that one. What's the sidequest there? 9 hours ago, Anim07734 said: Got the Buttercup dress finished, though I've since been told it doesn't fit anymore.

Anim07734 Posted May 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2019 Late on the updates, as usual. Diet and exercise is progressing on schedule. I'm officially under 33inch on my waist again and on pace to have ~31inch waist for Dragoncon (which I've been at before for Nightcrawler and can still move right in costume). Finished my Rancis jacket last week, but forgot to pull the shirt out for painting until Sunday, so it rained all day. Looks like this afternoon will be dry, so I'll get that done after work. Megacon Orlando is this weekend, so it'll be just in time. Spent most of the weekend replacing a leaky toilet, due to 50yr old house shenanigans. Took 4 trips to the hardware store to realize I needed an adapter to go from the old pipe to the new toilet. I wanted to change the hardware coming out of the wall, but that's going to require a plumber since it's soldered together instead of screwed on like a modern house. Now I just have to replace the other toilet, since it's started the same process this one did a year ago. Not sure if I'll get to it this week or wait till after the convention. 3 Quote Anim07734; God of Death in Training Tiefling Assassin and Artificer Maxim 70: Failure is not an option.

Cast iron and PVC- old and busted meets new hotness. I would love to have at least one easy project that "goes as planned." hahahah nah, just learning patience and creative problem solving instead. 1 1 Quote daily dare 36 35 34 32 31 30 29 28 27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20 19 18 17 16 15 14 13 12 11 10 9 #8 #7 #6 #5 #4 #3 #2 #1 Link to comment

Naturally.... Looking good, though. I am impressed at how many costumes you can get together so often.
