Siempre me he fascinado por mujeres artistas que tienen trabajos admirables como lo son para mi Becky Cloonan, Emma Rios, Renae De Liz, Amanda Conner, Tara McPherson, Emmy Hernández, entre otras, mujeres como ellas son el motor de mi motivación para seguir luchando en encontrar mi lugar.

Para un artista, tener un estilo de vida saludable es difícil, pero en esta nueva etapa en mi vida he hecho una resolución para cambiar eso. He encontrado este artículo que quiero compartir con ustedes, espero que sea tan bueno para ti como lo ha sido para mí ★

————————

You can figure out your body type here. You can find out the ideal weight for your height and body type here. You can get a suggested calorie range righthere, and you can can get an estimation of how long it will take you to lose the weight right here.

1. Start logging your intake. You could just write it down in little food diary notebook you keep for yourself, but I suggest using a site like loseit.com,myfitnesspal.com, caloriecount.com or livestrong.com [I use LoseIt] because it allows you to see your nutrient intake and gives you counts for everything, fat, carbs, protein, etc, all in one spot. Then you can see what you’re not getting enough of (or what you’re getting too much of.) Either way, write it down. This will make you accountable for what you’re eating and you can see it all, right there in front of you, which will cut out mindless eating. Everything that you’ll be putting in your body from now on will be there because you thought about it and decided to put it there. Writing down that you ate five bowls of Capn’ Crunch and a three-foot-tall chocolate bunny isn’t fun for anyone, so you’ll be less likely to do it.

2. Eat fruits and vegetables. Seems obvious. But really, they’re an integral part of a healthy diet. Our bodies have been eating, extracting nutrients from, and excreting fruits and vegetables for centuries, yours will know exactly what to do with it. If you don’t like fruits and vegetables, you haven’t tried enough. Go to the grocery store and throw in everything that looks like it could be good, whether or not you’ve tried it. Try dried fruits or vegetables. I hate tomatoes, but I discovered that it’s really the texture I hate. I’ll eat dried tomatoes all day long. Before I decided that I was going to love fruits and vegetables, I didn’t know I liked grapefruits, sugar snap peas, baby spinach, green peppers or pomegranates, because I honestly had never tried them. (Don’t worry, I tried a lot of stuff I didn’t like too like mushrooms, but that’ll happen. You need to find what works for you.)

3. Pay attention to food labels. Are the calories going to provide you with the nutrients you need? Low-cal is great, but if there isn’t a whole lot of other nutrients in it, it’s not going to keep you full or nourish your body in any way. Pick foods high in protein and fiber, and low in added sugar or fat, especially saturated and trans-fat.

4. YOU decide what is healthy, not the company that created it. If you’re really trying to do the above, you’ll start to realize that a lot of food that you probably thought was healthy really isn’t. I used to eat Nutri-Grain bars all the time (Nutrition? Grains? I should be all set, right?) But when I started really reading labels, only 1 gram of protein, zero fiber. It might as well be empty calories. A Kashi Go-Lean Bar has 5 grams of fiber and 8 grams of protein for the same amount of calories, something I wouldn’t have known if I didn’t read food labels before I ate anything.

5. Eat all the time. The biggest reason people binge is because they get veryhungry (you can read all about that right here). If you don’t eat until you getvery hungry, when you finally get around food you’ll want everything in sight, and you’ll end up overeating. A very hungry tummy wants as many grams of fat, carbs and protein as it can get per bite to restore that energy it’s been missing all day, so you’ll crave junk and fast food, naturally. If you get hungry, have a little snack, have an apple, or a banana, or some carrots.

6. Never get “full.” Of course eat until you’re not hungry anymore, but don’t get so full you can’t move. This stretches your stomach so you’ll have more room for food next time (your body is constantly adapting to serve you best, so naturally, it would stretch.) It also confuses your brain, because if you’re not hungry anymore but you’re still eating, you’ll get a distorted sense of what “full” is.

7. Pay attention to your body. If you’re hungry, it’s because your body isn’t getting the nutrients it needs. Give it some. If you’re not, there’s no reason to force feed yourself, your body is all set.

8. Don’t clean your plate. This is a big thing now, most of us as kids were told to “clean our plates” There are starving kids in Africa. I’m not pro-wasting food, but I’m not pro-overeating either. Try this: eat five bites, then put your fork down and drink some water. Wait a minute, talk to your family if you’re eating with them. Then, if you’re still hungry, have five more. Fork down. Sip. Talk.Think about if you’re hungry. If you’re not, stop eating.

9. Don’t ever drink anything but water. Really, there’s no point to it. (Tea and coffee are fine.) Fruit juice has a crazy amount of sugar, so don’t drink that either, and definitely don’t drink pop. The jury is still out on diet soda, I suppose, but I wouldn’t drink it unless soda is already an integral part of your diet and you can’t see it go.

10. Measure your food. Of course you’re counting calories like a madwoman right now, but your bowl of cereal, if just poured haphazardly, is likely at least 50% bigger than the “serving size” listed on the box. Your peanut butter toast probably isn’t just a tablespoon, like you’re assuming. To very accurately measure your calorie intake, you absolutely have to measure everything out.

11. Pay attention to absolutely everything. The few teaspoons of brown sugar you add to your oatmeal. The glob of butter you eat with your peas. Cream in your coffee. Milk in your cereal. If you’re used to adding a lot of extras to your food (like me) this can really add up, skew your intake, and lead to frustration that you’re not seeing results as quickly as you should be, even on a heavily restricted diet. This could have one of two outcomes, neither of which are ideal: You give up on losing weight and go back to your old eating habits, or you cut your intake by even more and get caught in the ED trap.Know what is going in your body.

12. Drink a glass of water before you eat a meal. It will fill up your stomach so you’re likely to eat less. Also, thirst is often mistaken as hunger, so if you think you’re hungry, you might just be dehydrated.

13. Find better versions of the food you love. Try different things all the time, if you think it might be good, it just might be. There is often a healthier replacement option for the food that you’re eating now that you can’t bear giving up. I love peanut butter, but even the reduced fat version was still super high calorie. I kept looking and now I have a version that has 85% less fat and 40% less calories than regular peanut butter, and it’s actually good. The point is, try everything.

14. Remember that your body is not a calculator, or a machine, and it will not run happily on 753 calories just because you told it to. It will not stop craving cookies just because you decided you weren’t going to eat them. Low calorie diets are very hard. It’s okay to eat something unhealthy sometimes, sodo not cut your calories to nothing if you eat something unhealthy. The heart wants what the heart wants, same for the mouth. If you want to eat a cookie, eat one, but give yourself the same amount of nutrients and calories as you would any other day, even if this means you eat a few extra calories that day.

15. Relax. Eating something unhealthy once in a while will not cause you to gain back all the weight you’ve lost, so there’s no reason to feel bad about it.

16. Have an exit strategy. You don’t need to count calories forever. I’d suggest staying accountable for your eating by writing it down if you’d like to, but you really only need to measure things out and count for a month max. It’s just to get a good idea of nutrition, what’s healthy and what’s not, portion sizes, etc. It’s not a necessary everyday thing that you need to continue. After that, start making steps toward making healthy choices on your own, but don’t make it your life. Your body is just a part of you, it’s not everything.

Vamos a dibujar varias historias cortas de Zoe, la primera de Shebang!: Calavera All Inclusive, debutó en Festo Comics con 50 ejemplares de edición limitada, espero que si tu eres uno de los que lo tiene en las manos te haya gustado : ) Me encantaría saber tu opinión.

En estos momentos, ando trabajando la segunda entrega Shebang!: Smack my bitch up. Estos son dos de los personajes que ando bocetando para esta historia, Bob y Dulce ★

Ya casi se acaba el año y he querido hacer esta entrada para informarles sobre lo que he estado trabajando y de algunos cambios que haré el próximo año.

Como algunos sabrán, trabajo como directora de arte en una empresa desarrolladora de videojuegos llamada Neggi Studio, es una empresa relativamente joven donde se han sacado  juegos para iPad y iPhone. nos hemos proyectado  nacional e internacional y a pesar del poco tiempo que llevamos vigentes en el medio nos ha ido muy bien y pensamos seguir avanzando de tal forma que podamos sacar algún día juegos de consola entre otras cosas

Además de trabajar en Neggi, no he dejado de dibujar comics, llevo tiempo produciendo para Salvador Martínez historias de “El Arsenal”, hasta hace poco, como lo comenté en mi post anterior, empezamos una nueva historia llamada SHEBANG! con un corte parecido al del Arsenal, la experiencia con este trabajo me ha ayudado a practicar la narrativa, a pulir mi trazo y experimentar con algunas técnicas, aun no me siento satisfecha pero de cualquier modo me ha servido bastante, me falta mucho por recorrer y sé que seguiré mejorando, estoy en constante desarrollo aunque a veces soy muy desesperada, espero cambiar eso para no bloquear mi creatividad.

Hace unos días fui al 3er Encuentro de Edición Gráfica en la Ciudad de México, normalmente he estado acostumbrada a las convenciones de comics de Monterrey y Guadalajara que tienen un corte muy similar a todas las que se hacen nacionales, stands de merchandise de la caricatura japonesa de moda, artistas de doblaje, cosplay, cantantes, etc, sin embargo, ahora que viajé al DF, Festo Comics me mostró la otra cara de la moneda, un evento totalmente cultural, con proyectos y artistas tanto amateurs como profesionales, nacionales e internacionales y con una retroalimentación increíble, un evento única y exclusivamente para autores.

Me pensar muchas cosas con respecto a mi carrera como artista secuencial, me amplió mucho el panorama y me hice una auto evaluación, es por eso que hablo de nuevos cambios para el siguiente año, lo que resta de este es para cerrar ciclos y concluir lo que he estado haciendo para darle paso a lo nuevo.

Uno de esos cambios es cerrar algunas redes sociales, en un tiempo comencé a abrir a diestra y siniestra y la verdad atenderlas y estar poniendo lo mismo en todas me parece algo desgastarte, una de esas es la cuenta de twitter de @evainilla, el myspace, etc, quiero centralizar todo en mi sitio web y de ahí que parta lo demás, mi página también tendrá un cambio, espero trabajarlo pronto.

En fin, además del comic de Shebang he decidido empezar a trabajar proyectos personales, no he puesto fecha a esto porque quiero irme tranquila, sin embargo si quiero disciplinarme en eso, documentarlo y darle calidad al dibujo,  hay tantas cosas que quiero hacer, ando positiva esto que resta del año y lista para comenzar el siguiente ★

Estos últimos meses he estado trabajando sobre un proyecto llamado SHEBANG: Calavera All Inclusive escrito por Salvador “Mudo” Vázquez.

Como algunos sabrán, veníamos desarrollando el webcomic “El Arsenal Been Caught Stealing” pero por cuestiones personales del autor se tuvo que suspender hasta nuevo aviso. Ahora después de algunos meses, retomamos la historia pero con algunos cambios, en este caso, la protagonista ahora es la sensual Zoe Martinez de la cual pronto conocerán un poco más de su origen. En estos momentos estoy trabajando sobre el guión de la primera historia y comenzaremos la nueva diamagración de Been Caught Stealing comenzando el próximo año, parece lejano, pero son algunos meses, sean pacientes

El lanzamiento de la primera historia de Shebang será este próximo 12 de noviembre en Festo Comics, 3er Encuentro de Edición Gráfica en la Ciudad de México, ahi estaré junto con Salvador Vázquez y mis colegas de Protobunker presentando cada uno sus proyectos.
En el evento, además de tener la venta exclusiva de la primera historia de Shebang! ofreceremos prints originales, tarjetas coleccionables y playeras de edisión limitada.

Los invito a que pasen a visitar la página del proyecto, donde hemos expuesto parte del desarrollo del comic y conceptualización.
