Uta no Prince-sama Cosplay

So I have decided to do a new cosplay. Before I was always worrying that I couldn't cosplay someone because I was too chubby bunny, but now I don't mind. As long as you put the time, effort and money into your outfit your body should not matter. With that I will be cosplaying these two characters in the near future.

Cosplay Weight-Loss


Step up and get on track

I'm so sick and tired of feeling all depressed and like I'm some kind of fat ass. So I'm actually investing my time and money into losing some of my extra weight. I used to be at a healthy weight back when I was in Grade 9 - 10 which was about 3-4 years ago. Then I got into eating nothing but greasy and deep fried foods, fast food and junk food. But I need to stop. I can feel myself getting heavier, lazier and unhealthy. My motivation comes and goes but even though I can failing one day I can make it past this.
About 7 weeks ago I had started a healthy quest, eating smaller portions and exercising more, burning off everything I ate. Through that I lost about 8 pounds in 5 weeks. But then I went on vacation and went back to my old habits. So for the last two weeks I've lost all motivation and stopped. I need to re-start and track myself again.

The steps I've taken so far:

Eating Breakfast
This was a big thing for me. I never used to eat breakfast, ever. Now I wake up and it's the first thing I do. I try to make it healthy as well, like a banana or egg or muffin.

Biking
I now bike or walk nearly everywhere I go. I used to take the bus but I've cut that out.

Going to the Gym
I traded in my bus pass for a gym membership. I also chose a gym that was further away from me so I'd have to work hard to get there. It takes me 45 minutes on my bike to get to the gym.

Tracking
I track everything I eat and everything I do. I try to at least burn off all of the calories I eat everyday.

Water, water, water
No change here. I already drink nothing but water.

Next steps I must take:

Cut out junk food
Cut out fast-food
Prepare healthier foods

If I want to get my bikini/cosplay body back I'll have to work hard for it.

Sword Art Online ~ Coming Soon

I'm still in the process of watching this series.




So far it is REALLY good. Way better than I had expected. From the first episode I was hooked.

Overall Rating:
Plot:
Characters: I love when the main character is not portrayed as an idiot. And in this case they are strong players in a virtual but semi-real game.
Likes: The plot line is different from the other anime that I have watched and it is a very good detailed one.
Dislikes: The story line moves SUPER fast. They sort of cram everything into one episode when it should have lasted for at least 3-5 episodes.

xxx-holic Review ~ Coming Soon

Still in the process of watching.





Overall Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - It's just not my type of anime. So I probably won't be watching it again.
Plot: Not really a strong story line so far.
Characters: They have really defined personalities, but I hate how the main character is seen as stupid and unreliable.
Likes:
Dislikes: I'm not too big on the way they are drawn. Their limbs are way too long and for some reason it really bothers me and takes away from the show.
