Bleary Eyed And Droopy Tailed
















Big Jule.



I am now certain that I've taken on too much. In my defense, when I agreed to perform in Guys & Dolls, I didn't know that my workload was going to increase as much as it has. Don't get me wrong here... I like to work and I like my job. But 45-50 hours per week plus rehearsing the show plus trying to lose weight just isn't working. I get to a point in the evening where I'm so tired that my body actually feels like it's vibrating... at a very strange frequency. When I get to that stage, any thoughts of eating well simply aren't there; I just want some comforting food and sleep. Luckily, I'm still very focused during the day, so I haven't gained any weight (two-tenths of a pound)... I'm just sort of in a holding pattern until I can calm my schedule down a little.

Overall, I have been in a positive mood. I'm optimistic about my life in general and my weight loss in specific... I just need to arrange my life so that I can avoid, whenever possible, becoming so exhausted that I no longer care what I eat.

Now I have to go learn lines.

Let's shoot crap.

  1. I hear ya...yesterday I ate more than I should - nothing fattening but I didn't listen to the sign on my fridge that says "Are you REALLY hungry!" I just thought fuck you sign...but today I have put that behind me as a slight "opps" and will continue on the path to a healthy life style. I found a one women script that I want to do so badly - intellectually, emotionally and spiritually I can do it - but physically - not even close! So this is my rainbow at the end of the storm - my motivation to keep on the right path! You are moving in the right direction - pace yourself (seriously) I don't want you dropping dead before you reach your goal - and besides, I don't have time for a funeral! Love you so much, Steve...Doreen

  2. I keep a fat photo of myself in my cube with "STAY OUT OF THE M&MS" written in bright orange ink. Holding pattern is good. Slow and steady wins the race.
