Looking forward!!

Well, Another awesome week , got all six shows in. Kids are out of school and it seems families ARE coming to the keys on vacation despite the NEWS Stations freakin everyone out about the oil. Don't get me wrong , it's a horrible disaster but right now it is not affecting the Keys. Fishing , snorkeling, diving ,swimming... it's all still good right now. (Hopefully they'll get it all taken care of before it does reach us here.)


Got some new magic ideas I am working on , .... as often as I say "NO MORE BIRD TRICKS" There's always "one more thing I wanna do". Hopefully these last couple things will wrap up my dove act. I love performing the doves but it's really getting ridiculous to try and travel with them by air without spending a ton of cash. And forget internationally . Luckily I've got a new friend named Scott Penrose in London who kindly lends me his doves when I'm across the pond.


I joined Jillian Michaels online Diet/ fitness club this week http://www.jillianmichaels.com/ , It's only $4.00 a week and it makes it easy for you to keep track of all the calories you take in and track all that you burn. They start by giving you (funny) "A MAGIC NUMBER" if you eat this many calories per day you will lose 2 pounds a week., But you also get a weekly workout program which varies from day to day, you get two days off from the workouts and one work out day is cardio only. They also give you a full meal menu every day but I am not shopping for ALL THAT STUFF, so I just log what I eat and what exercise I do and it figures out your calories in verse your calories out each day, pretty cool,.... so far.....


Looking forward to rest of my year, London next month, magic cruise in November and hopefully home for Christmas this year. We'll see how the finances are by then .. Til next time ROCK ON and I"ll see you , on stage!!

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO ALL THE DADS AND GRANDFATHERS OUT THERE!

Weightloss Guru/ Professional BITCH!

It is Sunday June 13th 11:45 AM , there is a heat index of 100 degrees, and I just jogged the full 3 miles that I normally walk!! ( I walked about an 1/8 of it). I'm friggin' psyched it's getting easier every time. I would like to thank Jillian Michaels (TV weight loss guru/ professional BITCH! ;-) for inspiration, seeing how she makes people push themselves to work for a better life is just awesome. http://www.jillianmichaels.com/ , http://www.biggestloser.com/ and her new show "Losing It with Jillian Michaels."

I would also like to thank myself today, ....for committing to a healthier life , it has been almost 2 years since I quit smoking cigarettes, where I did gain a bit of weight,(I was up to 225 lbs) And only 2 1/2 months since I decided to start eating healthy and exercise ,where in I have lost 16 pounds and seem to be at a plateau but I am dedicated , as I mentioned in my first blog to reach 199 lbs before my 40Th birthday on August 6Th.

I would also like to thank my ex-girlfriend Helen C . for leaving me, I know that sounds horrible but, she saw that I was on a path of self-destruction, tried to help , then just had enough . I cant blame her. They say "everything happens for a reason" (Not sure who "They" are but I think they're correct). It wasn't til Helen left me that I really took a look at my life and my lifestyle......... My life IS GOOD, I work hard at what I love , Performing, But I partied even harder for a lot of years. Anyway, I hear Helen is back in school and doing great and I wish her well, I will never forget the many good times we did have together, and apologise for the not so good times. (I hope she sees this.)

Today I'll begin reading (for the second time) a book called "Mastery,The keys To Success And Long Term fulfillment" by George Leonard . I highly recommend this book, it is under ten bucks and under 200 pages but may set you on a path to mastering every area of your life. you can find it at www.amazon.com/Mastery-Keys-Long-Term-Fulfillment/dp/0542267560 .





Until next time, Rock On!

PS: just for the record. I do still like to party but I've got it down to once a week I!!!);-),
