Welcome to my latest attempt at blogging. I have decided to give it another go after previous failed attempts...There is just so much going on in my life right now, I felt I needed a place to organize my thoughts.
I am trying to "make it" as a musical theatre actress. What does that mean? It means I spend my days going to lots of auditions, classes, lessons, rehearsals, and performances. It means I am planning a move to NYC in January. It means I am totally broke.
I also do taxes at a large chain store. That may not matter much outside of the months of Jan-April to you, but tax preparers work all year. Well, really right now that means taking classes. For instance, today I learned about depreciation.
What's that you say? Why is an actress doing taxes? Well get ready to be blown away, cause I used to be a math teacher. In the inner-city. I still substitute teach (not in the inner city) and tutor math to earn some bucks when I am not doing taxes.
On top of all of this, I am obsessed with losing weight. I let myself get all the way up to 156 lb at the height of 5'4" and my pants stopped fitting. So I read a book called the End of Overeating and recognized myself in it. I loved to do nothing but binge on sweets and fatty food. So as of June 14, I cut out all sugar, artificial sweeteners, and anything fried or too fatty. I am still navigating exactly what that means, but its been rough. I also went on Weight Watchers to help with portion control. So far, I have lost 10 pounds in 9 weeks, which is great, but I want to lose 41 so I have a long way to go. I need to be actress skinny.
I am also trying to earn money doing something a little unusual. I will call it "The Experiment". It requires me to be at a healthy weight and fill out a lot of paperwork.
So thats a short summary of my life right now. I will be sure to keep you updated, I know you are hanging on my every word :)
