The Plan

I am starting up “The Plan” again. The Plan is a healthy eating plan that one of my good friends Mallary and I came up with. It consists of eating nothing but fresh fruits, vegetables, and meats, and sticking to pretty much the basics of drinks; water, milk, and orange juice on occasion. I don’t feel that I need to loose much weight, I actually feel quite good about my weight, but I would like to keep it where it is and if at all possible lose like.... 5 pounds. This shouldn’t be hard if I stick to the plan and exercise. The plan really works, and it makes me feel super good. I feel like I have more energy when I eat healthily like that, and when you’re putting good things into your body, you crave good things. It’s a good habit to get into.

Mallary and I started doing The Plan a couple weeks before Evita opened so that we would look good in our costumes and such. As soon as the show got going, however, neither of us really had time for healthy eating. At that point you just kinda grab whatever is around and eat it. Nutrition is hard to come by when you’re in a show. I didn’t gain any weight during the show because I was burning off everything that I was eating, even though all I was eating was basically junk food. Now that the show is over though, I know that if I continue eating that way I will inflate like a balloon. Thus, The Plan must be put back into action.

I would also like to slim down because auditions for Spelling Bee, The Light in the Piazza, and Our Town, at Weber State are this month, and I want to look good, and look the part of the characters I would like to play. I don’t really have my heart set on one character, or one show; I would just like to be in at least one of the shows. I want it so badly. But I will do whatever it is they need me to do. If I don’t get cast, I’ll definitely be on the crew or something. I just want to be involved. I have yet to find any really awesome audition songs, but I’m looking and doing my research. Hopefully something amazing will come along.

Most of all, I just want to be healthy. With all the of the diseases and problems that a person can have I am doing my best to avoid or fight off all of them. Taking care of my body is important to me. I want to be as healthy as possible so that I can truly live my life without hinderance. The best way to do that is to take care of myself, so that’s what I’m doing.
