Ok, so with all journeys there are going to be bumps in the road, right? I’m supposed to be getting in the best shape of my life, BUT I forgot about Hell week. For me Hell week is when my youngest sons birthday falls on the last week of school. So take aaaall those end of year parties and add my little ones birthday celebrations, (plural because we must celebrate in class, at a “real” party, and then with the immediate family). Then 3 days later it’s my husbands birthday, then 8 days after that, we do the same multiple parties for my older sons on July 3rd!! SO this weekend had pizza, ice cream cake, burgers, brownies and milk shakes to name a few. And that was just Cole’s birthday. And if you think I’m strong enough to say “no” to all of that then you really don’t know me. I’m great at eating healthy as long as I keep the healthy food in the house. But put something chocolatey and gooey in front of me and will power goes out the window! SO! I now have 7 weeks till “Chicago” rehearsals start. I still have 2 birthday’s to get through and a whole lot of summer “fun” with the kids to tempt my inner chocoholic! Zumba and Silks are keeping me in check, but the thought of the bra and panties costume is haunting me! Tonight my husband made salmon with brown rice and broccoli which was delish! Here’s to no more pot holes!

I’d love to be able to tell you that I’m one of those naturally thin people. That I can eat whatever I want and never gain weight…. I’d love to tell you that. But, sadly,  I’m not. Don’t get me wrong, I’m in really great shape! But the truth is, I have to work really stinkin’ hard to stay this way. My arms and legs are always thin, so when I gain weight I tend to look like an Apple with limbs.  I’m doing pretty good these days, but the REAl truth is, I could be even better. There’s good shape, and there’s “Chicago” shape. Let me explain, I was recently hired to do the musical “Chicago” up at Sacramento Music Circus! Wooo Hoooo! SO excited! The show is awesome, the music is great, and the costumes are HOT! As long as you can fit them. The picture shows me when I did the show 13 years ago. (ouch, that kinda hurt to say) So here I am 13 years later, doing the same show. At 41,  I’m anticipating being the most “mature” girl in the show. Which means, I better get my ass in shape!! “Chicago” shape! (nothing like being compared to the 18 year old standing next to you.) My costume last time was one of the most conservative. Most of the costumes could fit in my wallet. One is a g-string, one is a body stocking over a bra and panties….you get the idea. So here I go! I leave August 8th, that gives me 2 months to get my abs in check! Fingers crossed!
