I hope you all are doing well. I'm okay myself.
Random info: My hips hurt. I'd like to believe that is because they are magically expanding to better fill out my form, but I do have some doubts about that, because my elbow also hurts and I don't know what would be going on there. Keeping my fingers crossed though :) The likely answer is work is taking a toll on me, but I'll survive. If my chest start to hurts or starts to grow I'll either completely believe in magic or be consulting a physician:)
I had some time to dress again on the weekend, sorry I didn't take pictures, but I think I'm getting a lot better, next time I promise to document it. I want more clothes! I want more shoes! I want more of the life I want. And I want to impress you all with my progress.
I bought a scale on the weekend. I have lost a lot of weight the last few months. Now, I thought I was down to about 210 because none of my work clothes fit anymore, and there was very noticeable difference, but...turns out, I may have been heavier than I thought I was. Whatever the case, if I keep up my new diet and continue my excercises I hope to be down to my ideal weight soon. As much as I am unhappy with my body as a whole for obvious things I can't change at the moment, I think I can make Cintia look much better -and that's what this is all about.
I've been drinking three litres of water a day (I read that was good for you and I believe most things I read), cut sugar out almost completely (just in my one tea per day...and not that I had a sweet-tooth ever), cut down on salt, and have been eating all my veggies. Last time I tried to loose weight it worked really good, until I ended up being diagnosed with an eating disorder, blood issues, and missing two months of work....so...going with a better plan this time:)
My skin has gotten a lot better too, I bought an exfoliating face wash and a knock-off Clairsonic that seems to really have worked wonders. I've got several compliments on the improvement that really made me smile.
I had an idea today, I use to write short stories mainly humor. It was always well received. I got accepted to university for writing, and I passed that opportunity up for fine art -I'm good at things that are tough to make money in:) I think I would like to start writing some TG stories, and maybe sell them online. Even if I don't make any money, I would still like to do it. I imagine the "books" would be more like compilations, I don't have focus for long-form. I don't know, I just thought of it and maybe it would be something I could do. I guess they would just be longer versions of my captions without the pictures and hopefully better constructed. I've seen and purchased some online friends work like that and...it wouldn't be for the money, but just to actually try my hand at something I love doing. As long as I warn people that my grammar is terrible.
While life around my apartment hasn't changed too much as of late, I have started to change things. AND WOW! HAVE I EVER! I bought a beautiful new shower curtain....yup, that was the big change (ha)...but it was a change for me and I'm quite fond of it :)
I have hot pink toe-nails. That also makes me smile. Just wish I had the really-long matching finger nails to match.
I may have mentioned it before, but I've been thinking a lot about changing my name (online/identifying...not legally...yet). Not that it really matters much, but because I keep thinking about it makes me also think it could be important. The story goes that I've always (I've changed my online name at least 3 times) gone with female names of celebrities or models I like... there was one exception where it was just a name that I like. I just feel like I should search my mind and my heart and decide who I want to really be...as myself. I will let you know what or if I decide in case I have to change the name of any my online addresses.
Comments and advice always make me smile, and I have been trying to practice what I preach too, so to everyone who does -thank you, and to those who don't, I understand, I've been there...but they really do help.
Thanks to all my readers,
Love you,

PS!
Canada kicks ass! As I may have mentioned I'm a hockey fan (Canadian...so of course) and tonight we won gold in the World Junior tournament over Russia! I'm super excited about it, even though most the players will never play for my NHL team. But the national pride of it makes me really happy! I guess I just love the national anthem after a big victory. So, of course I had to share Robin Sparkles!
