Give Me Some Horns

Yesterday, I looked in the mirror.  I thought my butt had gotten smaller, when I realized that my thighs had just gotten bigger.  Dang.

I'm currently 121.5  pounds.  This is down from a few days ago.  However, it is still six pounds heavier than at the beginning of December.  I want to get down to 115 again.  I did not grow two feet in December.

I don't usually announce to the world that I'm on a diet; mainly because "diet" in my estimation should be a lifestyle change.  Also, some people are made to be heavier.  I am not one of those people, but I would never want someone with a bigger frame to be hurt.

Yet, there's another part of me that just doesn't care anymore.  Oh dear, just get me some horns and I'll be looking like your stereotypical opera singer.

I'm a little afraid losing 6 pounds will do something to my singing.  My voice has been rather fabulous(for me, anyways) lately.  Dr. SAL once said something about how weight affects your support.  Maybe if I take it slowly enough, I can adjust.  I know six pounds doesn't seem like a lot, but it is.

I also wonder if that's why I've had more vibrato lately.  A woman in our church used to have this SUPER bad wobble.  Her vibrato jumped octaves, and probably cycled about one per second.  It's gotten better since she lost weight.  Not wonderful, but a little better, I think.

Sigh.  Just give me some horns.
