#progress takes time

I end this little slideshow of art with my latest “piece”, for lack of a less pretentious word, and I’m still working on it so enjoy an even more updated WIP. Ive never been prouder of a piece of art that I’ve made and I know that that’s probably silly to say, but it’s true. Progression takes time and art styles change. It’s a wonderful thing to see. And I have to say, I’m deeply thankful for all of the things that got me here. Every fandom I was in that now I may think of as cringey, every one that had aged badly (cough, dsmp, cough), every OC, every doodle on homework. Progress is progress, no matter how small.

So we're nearing the end of the other side of our block, and I knew if it was up to him he'd just go around the corner, back down our side and home. So I planned to try to get him to cross the street and go to the next block. @doomspaniels I used your tip, I looked in the direction I wanted us to go as I used my best no-nonsense/assertive voice and said "Let's go!" He did it! We walked two blocks. Yay! Once he starts moving, then I kick into a higher excited gear, I walk a bit faster, say come on let's go, let's go, really excitedly, and that seems to motivate him. I don't care if we do this for three months, I'm hopeful by fall we can walk to the park again, the prettiest time of year.

to be content.

A year ago, 116lbs would have been my ending bulk weight and my abs would be covered in fat (I gain most of my weight over my abs and thighs). Today at 116lbs I have visible abs as I come down from my bulk weight of 120lbs. Progress is made an inch at a time.
