"Who Shot JR?" and Other Outdated Cliffhangers

The goal of Belly Laugh is to eat healthy while on the road performing stand-up comedy. However, there have been many moments where my eyes have been bigger than my stomach and junk food has won...delicious, delicious junk food. After hopping on the scale and seeing a blaring 155 lbs.winking back at me, I decided I really needed to step it up, as I'm 5'1" and that's not a good weight for me. With a teetering cholesterol issue and the desire to button up a large shirt without the fabric puckering, I have come up with a new plan to kick Belly Laugh into full gear.

​ Today is my first day of Weight Watchers. One thing I've learned about Weight Watchers is that they are very intolerant of delicious food. Why can't a slice of pizza be four points total? Why do we need to add points for toppings... isn't it really all one dish anyway? With every delicious addition to my bland cheese slice a little part of me dies with the need to walk to earn points for pepperoni. I wish I could buy Weight Watcher points on eBay, like frequent flyer miles.

This month will be full of yoga classes, pilates, and all things involving mats! My goal is to exercise at a minimum of three times a week. Based on the scale from Weight Watchers, a healthy weight for a 5'1", adorable lady is around the 132-lb. mark (at the heaviest). This means I have a road of hell waiting for me.

Last Friday was the monthly, "Who Shot JR?" showcase held at the Gypsy Café in Fremont. The show is hosted and booked by local comedian JR Berard. I was the feature comic and went up after about an hour and a half of other comics, which created a sleepy, but surprisingly interested, audience.
