Day 42

YAY!!!! I am FINALLY DONE!!! and it was ALL worth it! I feel like I improved so much and I have gained so much more confidence it was all worth it!  The video won't be done for a while but I of course recorded on my phone and I am happy with the way I sounded.

here's a pic from the warm up!  I warmed up at 12 at home, this was taken as I was warming up AGAIN at 1pm and I finally sang at about 5pm...so long to wait!

I am so lucky to have Natasha as a coach. She always believes in me and pushes me to do my best.  She doesn't take any excuses so if I am tired and not singing well, I have stopped saying why I am not singing well and I just try to do better.  She has been a great influence on me.

Day 41

I went to bed a little early last night...yeah 11:30 and woke up at about 8:30...not bad.  I did yoga prior to eating and of course had the breakfast of champions.  At work I made use of my time...did my warm up, but didn't do any rep as to save my energy for tomorrow - want to do a great job!  I also started to translate the role of Zerlina in Don Giovanni.  I am having a hard time deciding what rep to start to learn so I figured the best thing to do would be to start learning roles.  I already know 2nd Lady from Die Zauberflote so DG is next!  I figure start of small, but then again I do like the supporting roles better than the lead.  I like being a surprise and filling in to have a strong support cast.  I had a short rehearsal with Yoko, the pianist, and then did a little shopping to complete my outfit for tomorrow.  I really needed shoes.  I have nice ones that are high - um no thank you. I also have cheap ones that are the right height but they are painful.  I spent way more than what I wanted to spend, but as I said I don't want any excuses as to why I don't do well - looking good and comfort are important psychological factors!  Now just putting the final touches on everything and I'll be set!

TOI TOI TOI!!!

Day 40

Two days left until I get to perform again!! I mean vocally of course!  I rested my voice today and really the only thing that I did besides my exercise was to go to the gas station to get some milk.  Very relaxing day.  Of course I started off with the breakfast of champions as usual.  I then had a chicken salad sandwich for lunch and for dinner I had some chicken and broccoli.  I did the P90X Legs and Back track on a starved stomach and it was HARD!!!  I sweated a lot and barely made it through I was so dizzy.  I felt as though I had been eating a lot of junk because of the hormones so I needed an intense workout. I just need to get a lot of rest.  It is now 10pm...think I can get to bed before 12:30??  We shall see LOL
