This week I started a slow ramp up out of my deficit. I'm at a 400 calorie a day deficit. I wanted to go one week longer at the 500 calorie deficit, but I could tell I was getting burned out. I wanted to stop while I still had the  will power to do the slow ramp up.

Fuck. Glad you're ok!   Wish I had something useful to say. This is heartbreaking.

Im going to dump cicadas i to the suggestion box. They come in all the funky colour mixes (i am only deopping 2 in here or it will be picture city). Also have very cool wings that could be made with some clear plastic and paint.   

Oh god, i laughed so much reading that 😆

BITCH WHAT I WAS PROMISED A KICK-ASS BLUEJAY IN A KILT AND NOW YOU GIVE ME A BUG IN BERMUDA SHORTS WTF THIS IS THE WORST TIMELINE!!!!     More seriously, though, it is a more interesting silhouette. I think a lot of guys do the casual T-shirt and utility kilt look, so it's almost not a costume, especially at Ren fairs. It's a bit like the guy in the romance novels who turns up at the masquerade ball in his normal black tie with a domino mask on; several cool points for elegant minimalism, but he's not getting fully into the spirit of things.   The wings give it a tiny bit of gender bend, which is kind of great, especially if you're going around rocking shoulders like that. I think (unrelatedly) it needs some pink. There's a heck of a pink-red gradient in your reference picture. It'd soften those sharp color blocks a bit.   It will be a bit hard to make it read as grasshopper instead of moth, because people so rarely see grasshopper wings that they don't think of them as winged. They sort of just think huge legs, and yours just won't joint that way. But it will be cool and summery either way.   For wings and an interesting silhouette, allow me to also suggest:   Not me hoping to talk someone into walking around with a flashing light on his bum or anything.

Hey, that's awesome. Doable is the best. Where are you at now? 

Uggh that sounds so frustrating!   Ouch. Is it because they're not participating/showing up, or because of their English skills?

Wheee! Another slug! Nice butt feathers 😁

Was just about to say!   How is it compared to Hades 1? Is it even possible to make a fair comparison? All the Hades 2 hype made me play the first game, only six years late. 😄 I never play games that require physical skill so it's been quite the learning curve. But they've made the process really rewarding, which is really cool.

I love the temple of small wins.
