The Food Talk

I loved today because it was a normal wednesday - I love my routines.  Auditions throw routines off - but today I woke up - went to Yoda's class - did some nice pirouettes - worked on STRETCHING and Having fun- being free - had a voice lesson - then went to contemporary where I continued to stretch and be free.

My voice is a little frustrating at the moment because its undergoing a metamorphosis - I hope for the better - I'm learning to control it and to focus it - and we started to work on belting - but because it is now in the depths of "work in progress" it is doing some wonky stuff.  It will ultimately be really good - but I'm gonna need to find a way to practice - which means finding somewhere German is not - which will be hard.  

Speaking of German - we had a food talk today.  He actually came home upset that he gained ten pounds and looked fat in his Salsa video - I told him I think I knew why - and after a lot of illogical arguing - he agreed he should try to eat healthier.  He seemed to think that he didnt have time to cook - and cookies are so easy.  I pointed out I never cook - I just get premade meals from Fairway.  He said they werent any healthier than cookies.  I said - what do you mean?  I got a piece of fresh cooked salmon or fresh turkey or beef meatballs made that day and refridgerated not frozen - with vegetables - that I only have to heat up for 2 minutes and voila - delicious and nutritious.  It averages to $4 a meal! There is lots of protein, veggies, dairy, and sometimes a startch like rice or potatoes.    All you have is a cinnamon bun.....with no nutritional value what so ever.  Then he said - "but you eat ice cream" - and I said no - I eat chocolate sorbet in a very controlled amount - not nine pints of ben and jerry's as dessert to my cookie and cinnamon bun dinner.  He said I was right and he would try to eat healthier.  I'm all about indulgence - but there has to be a limit!!!!!!!!!!!  So hopefully I'll lose the two pounds that is creating the slightest belly roll on my lower abs - it is yucky!  It worked out perfectly since German brought the issue up - and said it was something he wanted to improve in himself - I was able to just jump on the bandwagon and encourage.
