So I'd been planning to do a long, depressing post

on my last couple weeks, and what went wrong... But I think I'm just going to sum up, and then move forward. I don't need to revisit that headspace.

The last 2 weeks were a whirlwind of stress, with working 2 jobs, doing freelance graphic design work, working on my business, doing the weight loss challenge, fitting in time for my fiancé, and friends, financial concerns, etc, etc, etc. After a scary encounter at my part time job, I quit.... And panicked, because of the aforementioned financial issues. I went nuts at my
day job (managing an ice cream parlor)... I ate so much ice cream, and toppings, and then I went to McDonalds, ate more ice cream, and toppings.... And then I felt so guilty...

I'm still reeling a little from that setback. I haven't weighed myself since. But I've been good about following the diet, and I started going to the gym again. The next weigh in is next week and I plan to rock it.

Now: three things I've done recently that I'm proud of...
This flyer: I've been doing freelance graphic design for my aunt's business, and it's inspired me to re-do some of the signs around my job.

This zombie cake: I think it turned out really well. :-) I was unsure about the tombstones, but I think they enhanced the overall image.

These octopus lotion charms. I'm really happy with how they came out.
