Weight Loss

I've decided to slim down by around 15 pounds, focusing on core exercises. I'll keep track of my measurements as well as my weight, and update on diet and exercise changes I've made, probably updating my progress once a week.

Height: 5'2"

Starting: 128 pounds 

Measurements: 86-68-86 (cm)

Goal: 107 pounds

Measurements: 2/3 inches off waist + Slimmer arms and legs 

1-Week goal: 3 pounds or 1 cm off waist

NW: WIP #1: Arm Guards + EVA Foam/Leather

A lot of trial and error, but the end result was reasonable. I decided that I am going to make most of the "leather" of Night Watcher out of EVA foam. After heat molding the surface of EVA foam is remarkably similar to leather. Even though the colors make it look a little ridiculous, I think the result should end up convincing enough. All trial runs right now, I'll probably just run paint tests on what I've worked on so far.

Made a general pattern for the armguard by using plastic wrap and painters tape. 

I used a heat gun to shape worbla into the shape of the arm guards and tried to make the scraps into her pendants.

I reinforced EVA foam with worbla (and then heat molded it) to make a belt for the top of the arm guard.

I didn't like the shape of the armguard so I altered the pattern, and I decided to trim it down and layered it over with EVA foam.
