So June has been the start of another self improvement kick XD I've finally gotten down to 198 lbs and now I'm aiming for 180 lbs X3
I plan on making a weight loss diary then when I hit that goal, because I wanna make sure I actually get to it before I end up posting a video like "Heyyy guys I back slid again XP"
I got to hang out with my mom the other day and got a few outfits I actually feel a pretty confident in X3
I'm trying to push myself out of my comfort zone in a couple of different areas... Clothes being one of them XD So I got some stuff in a style and cut I'm not used to wearing X3

I've also dyed my hair, but you can't really tell unless it's in direct sunlight XD But I really like it X3

Box dye is magical XD

I've been trying make more room for exercize, reading, and selfcare.
Annnd so far it's been working X3 I've been getting pretty good sleep and hitting a lot of the goals I've been aiming for X3
I've been making myself little snack trays and reading in bed XD And right now as I'm typing this I'm laying down on a blanket on the floor listening to the rain and eating a little snack tray X3

I also drew a cute little mermaid X3 (Deviantart) (Speed Draw)
I thought I wanted her eyes a certain way, but realized I hated it halfway through XP

I started reading 'The Art of Self Discipline' by Kimberly Olson, PhD and it's been pretty helpful at keeping on task X3
