An Actor Trains: My #1 Weight Loss Tip

Plan and write down what you will eat each day before you have your first bite.

1. Having a plan saves you from those moments where you end up standing in front of the refrigerator bargaining with your appetite over what sounds good to eat at the moment.

2. When you plan and write down your menus each morning, you will create a record of exactly what and when you ate in order to get the results you want. I started recording my nutrition and training in 2008, and those diaries were the foundation of my e-program: Sugarfreedom, and my book on fat loss, Keep the Change.

3. If you find it difficult to stick to your plan due to hunger or cravings, you can adjust your eating strategy and keep track of what works and what doesn’t. For example, adjustments in The quantity, quality, and frequency of your meals can make all the difference in your level of energy and satisfaction throughout the day.

How Do You Get to Carnegie Hall?

I few months ago, I was invited to sing at Carnegie Hall with the alumni of the Saint Mary's College Women's choir. We'll be singing in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of Saint Mary's in Notre Dame, Indiana. The concert will be on Saint Patrick's Day, and I can't wait to sing with the Saint Mary's women again. When I was in the choir we sang traditional, classical, and modern compositions. I have sent my check to cover the cost of the sheet music, and it will be here soon. In the meantime, I am practicing singing nearly every day. One of the best parts of taking on this new challenge is that it has given me the confidence to host a recital next month. The dates and times for the recital are Saturday, September 22nd. at 7PM, and Sunday, September 23rd. at 2PM. The recital takes place at Sol-Y-Breath at 14709 Mono Way in Sonora, CA in the Sear's center. I will be using recorded accompaniment, and the performance will be free

Dare To Shine Information for performers and audience

I was so happy to meet with MyAct board member Jeff Gill today to walk through the theatre, and test the sound system. The acoustics in the Webster Theatre are very nice, and it was pretty easy for this old fashioned musical theatre singer to fill the space. That being said, there are three microphones wired and ready for sound. I simply connected my iPod to the sound board and voila, my music was ready to play through the main system. What a relief that it is simple enough for me to run. I don't have to though because Colin will be running sound for us. All I need from the participants is the Mp3 with your backing tracks, or we can play from your iPhone, iPod, smart phone, or any device with a connector. Musicians are also welcome if you want to bring your instrument. Ideally, we'd like all of the participants to attend both master class sessions: Thursday June 29th at 7PM, and Friday June 30th at 7PM, and at both showcases Saturday July 1st. at 7PM and Sunday Ju
