I finished all my icons for [community profile] 100_icons. Seriously, I did them ALL. They've been done for a couple of days now. But now all I have to do is post them, but I don't feel like doing all that coding. My life, so hard.

I'm doing well on my new lifestyle program! Last week I gained two pounds, but I think it was just water because today I weighed myself and it was back where I started. Well, almost. I weighed in this morning at 199.8. Which ... wow, I can't tell you how good it feels to be under two hundred, if only by .2 pounds.

Exercise is going really well. I had to adjust my calories so that I'm eating more than I was, since I'm burning so much during exercise. Today I did yoga for 30 minutes and walked/jogged for 30 minutes. That's an hour of exercise! And then I did strength training! I ROCK!

So anyway, so far I've lost 10.2 pounds and by Saturday (my next weigh in) I hope to say I've lost 11 or 12.

I rarely, rarely read at LJ anymore. If you post only there, leave me a comment and tell me how you are doing!

I got word today that I'm getting a mix for my Vampire Big Bang, too, on TOP of art. How awesome is that? WHEEEEEEEE. I hope my artist/mixer like the story.

I am still so, so broke. Thankfully a friend gave me 60 dollars, and I cashed in all my change, and got enough money to buy groceries. The electric bill is almost 300 again, my cable got cut off (which is fine, I have Netflix streaming to my TV), and if anything serious comes up I will be up shit creek. I wanted to buy myself something nice this month to celebrate all the good things I'm doing in my life, but that's probably not going to happen.

I'm going to the career center at the local college on Thursday to do one of those computer career tests. Maybe they can help me out. I am definitely going back to school in January! I am tired of having no education! So anyway.

That is the state of the me.

Congratulations to finishing your claim. I've just started with mine.

YOU TOTALLY ROCK!! I admire you so much for changing your lifestyle so radically and STICKING to it!

BOTH art and mix, awesome!

Being broke sucks! I suppose I should have saved the left-over money this month for boring but necessary things like possible dental problems, but I spent it on [livejournal.com profile] help_pakistan instead. I enjoyed it enormously and at least it's for a good cause.

Good luck on Thursday!
