Ok, here I go!!!!!!!
I am operagal and I'm about to embark on the cleanse for the main reason of losing weight. Yes, I feel like crap from all the junk I've been eating for the last few weeks when my job got crazy stressful, and I also feel like I'm coming down with a cold (NOT OK for an opera singer!!!), but...
The main reason for doing this cleanse, and my main motivation is that I just got asked to understudy a crazy famous singer next month for the LEAD ROLE in an opera! This is awesome! The bad part?? If she gets sick and I end up going on stage for her... the costume won't fit me! My first rehearsal for this show is November 17th... I think if I can get down to my happy weight of the past (165 lbs...), that it would most likely fit, not to mention I would have some kick ass confidence strolling into the first rehearsal looking hotter than the real diva I'd be understudying for!
I'm going to try to keep myself motivated by thinking about that moment over and over... I have so many gorgeous clothes that don't fit that I'd love to be back in this year. ALSO, I just turned 29... so I'd love to be able to ring in my 30's looking super hot!!
This website is soooo helpful, and I want to keep updating how I'm doing. I also think it would be great to look back and read my journal after I've accomplished my goal... just to have a record of all I went through.
I know it's going to be VERY VERY hard... but I hope to persevere, and despite an insane work schedule, and various halloween parties and baby showers approaching, maybe I can make it work!! I might have to just fein a stomach ache at the baby shower as an excuse for not eating... anyone have any suggestions how to get through that? All those ladies eating little sandwiches and me sitting there without a plate.... well... maybe I could get a plate and pretend to nibble on something... I dunno.
Ok well, here are my starting STATS
