Food Babies

March 5th, 2015.

I am cast in Anything Goes... a fun Cole Porter tap dancing show on a boat.  Who am I playing?  The sexy gangster Erma.  Belly... baring.. hottie tamale ERMA.   I have earned a new level... I have felt stuck in a little box of 'cute' girlness that longs to be considered pretty or BEAUTIFUL and hell on wheels i have been cast in a sexy bombshell role.

I dig it.

What I am nervous about?  A natural thing most normal girls would be nervous about... tap dancing in a little more than a bikini thank you.

Which brings me to another topic - food sensitivities.  

I had a pregnancy scare recently that turned out to be not a baby (thank goodness as now is not the time) BUT a food baby.  I am sensitive to both gluten and dairy meaning that when I consume these things I tend to become painfully bloated.  The rough part as many in the world know - is that I love these things.  Chocolate milk, cheese, bread... bagels... deliciously sinful things that now make me think that there may be another human inside of me.  GREAT.  So I am challenging myself to try out a month free of these things that don't make me feel awesome.

I will do my best to cut these out... and see how that affects my body and energy and confidence.

Measurements right now (in full on food baby mode thank you) :

Chest - 38 (..... i don't know where those came from....)

Waist - 31

Hips - 44

I would LOVE to shave 3 from the chest, 1-2 from the waist and 4-5 from the hips.  I am running... I am dancing... I am combat training... so I am happy with that side of things - I really think I may be being held back from my gluten, cheese dipped offspring.

Wish me luck...
