High Heels

Friday, July 23, 2010

It seems that my stylists really love to put me in the highest heels they can find. Stilettos, most of the time. Now, every girl knows that a nice heel makes her look good and feel sexy, but if given the chance, I would go barefoot for the rest of my life! Something I am just realizing is that I don’t mind wearing those heels now that I have lost weight. When I was heavier, those shoes really hurt my back and knees. Now with less weight on me, I can deal with them for a lot longer without so much pain.

Transkei

Monday, July 19, 2010

Words can’t describe this past week. We had to film some scenes in the Transkei, a remote area in South Africa. Just getting there was close to impossible. We had to take a flight and then drive for 3½ hours through the South African countryside. We knew it would be an interesting week when we found out that the lodge we were staying at would have "running water." Yes, running water — it’s a real perk in this part of the world.

Everywhere we looked, there were animals. Cows crossing the street, blocking our car, and monkeys in trees. Never saw that before. The food was tough this week. The catering company was having trouble getting their food to us. Good thing we decided to stop at a gas station before getting to the lodge. We brought some peanut butter, some crackers and nuts and a few other snack items. Those little snacks saved my week. Preparation is always the key!

New Breakfast Obsession

Thursday, July 08, 2010

I have a new breakfast that I am eating every day. I am so in love with it. I make an egg-white scramble with smoked salmon and mozzarella cheese. I don't know what it is about it but I can't stop eating it. I make a little wheat toast with jelly along with my egg whites. I know one reason I like it is that it keeps me full for a long time. I can't afford to get hungry right now with the long days of filming. I need to have good energy so I can concentrate and perform. This breakfast is working for me!

Pizza in South Africa

Tuesday, July 06, 2010

I am so excited. I found a really great Italian place here in Johannesburg that makes great pizza. It was unexpected, but we came across it a couple of days ago. It is a "build your own" pizza place. I created my own pizza with light cheese, chicken, mushrooms and jalapeños. You know I like it spicy! The slices are really thin and tiny. I usually eat 3 small slices and some salad. The one thing I notice here is that the portion sizes are so much smaller and healthier.

Little by little I am really getting a good set of healthy restaurants that I can count on in SA. We even found a chai tea latte in a local bookstore that I like. I have a kitchen, so I am able to make meals if I want to, but you have to have your "go to" restaurants wherever you land!

Long Days

Thursday, July 01, 2010

It seems that my days are getting longer and longer lately. The production of the movie is underway and I am going for costume fittings and rehearsals. At night I am also in the studio. It’s hard getting to the gym. My schedule is crazy right now. I have gotten a couple of workouts in, but not nearly as much as I’d like. I set a goal for next week to get three workouts in. I usually like to do more, but it feels tough right now to do any more than that.

The thing I can say is keeping me on track is how good the fruits and veggies are here in South Africa. I have never tasted such fruits or vegetables in my life. I am snacking on a lot of fruit and making good choices even on these long days. Sometimes that is all you can do!
