I'm on a health kick. Though I've been trying to jump start it for months, it officially started a few weeks ago when my friend Alicia came home from the national tour of Wicked. She's the dance captain and one of my most treasured friends so I had to chat with her about how she sustains her energy levels. She gave me a few tips. It's basically all about using the gifts of the earth to charge you up! I'm going to start running again. I want to get my body into incredible physical shape this summer. It's something I've never stuck to. I'm such a yo-yo. My boss, Jenn, says "small goals to start." I'm thinking just 30 mins of exercise/day and a healthy, colorful diet.

I've been taking two teaspoons of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar every night for the past few weeks now. I used to take it just while I was doing shows for it's throat benefits, but now I'm taking it for energy and it's anti-bacterial properties. Though it might be all in my head, I feel as though it cleans my body from the inside out. My skin has cleared up dramatically and I wake up feeling a bit more energized. The taste is wretched for most people but I've acquired it. In the morning, I take liquid vitamins and resveratrol (which I may have to stop taking because it's been giving me a headache!) and I try to load up on the potassium. I'm also drinking up to ten glasses of water/day which is amazing considering the fact that I hardly EVER drank water in my earlier years.

I feel great! So far, so good. 

Alicia also was my yoga instructor/dance captain on the European tour of Jesus Christ Superstar. She helped me immensely in stretching my soul into my body. I have no idea why I stopped taking yoga and think it's time for me to get back to it. I have never felt so healthy or present as I did when I was doing it. It will also help me with my dancing which I plan to start rocking out. She's a dance dance dance dance dancin' machine watch her get down......
