Getting Healthy

So this week I got a big wake-up call. Right now I’m prepping to audition for my college’s final Reperatory shows, and the role I read for in one play was that of a morbidly obese woman. While I know I am nowhere near morbidly obese, I am probably the biggest girl in my program. [...]

I’ve realised that most of the things that are stopping me from eating and exercising properly right now are emotional in nature: I have had conflict with friends lately My family is a bit more stressful than usual My beloved cat has been sick Money has been very tight My room and lounge room look [...]

Wow, these weeks just fly by. Why do I always forget how fast they go??? Anyway, this week was fucking TRIUMPHANT. I am so proud of myself. I had a huge final project due for my movement class, a 15-minute solo piece. I come from a dance background, but this wasn’t about dance, it was [...]

I seriously cannot believe that this project is coming to an end; at least for this run. I also can’t believe I’m a day late with my post for the second time. I was at my parents’ house yesterday and completely unable to sit down and type up a post of some sort; my family [...]

So, things are a little bit late this week…and on top of that, this is going to be a really short update. Why? I blame school and being busy and taking naps in any free time I get because I’m so exhausted after everything. Forgive me? Physical This week was ROUGH. I started out doing [...]
