"anyway, she's twice my size, who's got a plan B"

My willpower is slowly fizzling with this diet! Gah, I just want to eat chocolate chip cookies all the time! On the plus side, I've lost 7lbs since I started! I've still got more to lose, but I can see the difference in my body and it's a nice change.

I've been drinking a fruit and protien smoothie every morning for breakfast. Kind of looks like mud. :)

"this ones perfect, and it's just my size!"

Yet another sign... I found my audition dress. It was the first one I tried on. :) I ventured into this generally overpriced boutique in Fairhaven. It's located on the 1st floor of the building I work in. I walk past it everyday as I enter the building. Kind of ironic. Anyway, I went in on a whim. I was thinking of meeting my mom at another store downtown to hunt for the perfect dress. But I stopped in here first just because. Well, on first glance, I don't see anything. Then I notice a hot pink and white dress. At first I wrote it off because the color of pink wasn't right. However, upon closer inspection, I realized the dress is nearly identical to Elle's final dress in "omigod you guys!"

AAAAAAND, it's a vintage, which means it's completely one of a kind! how amazing is that?! I figured it was too good to be true, so I tried it on, ready to find a flaw. I found one. My chest didn't fill out the dress. It was pretty comical. However, I already bought a new bra that was supposed to add 2 cup sizes (My gay bestie said my boobs were too small to play Elle, lol.) I knew the dress was meant to be, however, it was out of my price range. I told the shop owner it was for my audition in NY and she took 20% off! I am one lucky girl.

Also, been losing almost a pound a day on my diet. I cheated the past 2 days with a bit of ice cream. But that's done. I need to get crackin' again. My weight plateaued and I need it to keep dropping off. So it's back to feeling hungry all the time. j/k, not all the time!

"I am so much better!"

I only ate 900 calories yesterday! And I wasn't about to die or anything. Dunno how I managed it aaaaaand, I lost another lb.

Yesterday, during my splurge at Victoria Secret, I also bought "Elle Woods in a bottle." Ie: Self Tan Lotion. It's Fabulous too, I woke up looking bronzed and lovely, like I'd spent the weekend in the Hamptons, instead of in rainy washington. :)

Today I go to work as the receptionist. I've got to talk to my boss about missing work for the Legally Blonde Auditions. *fingers crossed* that they don't freak out on me. 

"Pink is my signature Color!"

I work at Victoria Secret and I loooove working in the PINK side of the store. It's so fresh and "Elle." Anywhoo, I was really set on wearing a bright aqua blue for my audition. Seeing as everyone and their mother will be wearing pink. So after I got off work today, I daudled around PINK and picked up every aqua blue tee I could find. We don't have the tee in store that I posted a picture of below. However, it's fairly similar to this one.

I put this one on with a pair of ADORABLE hot pink with white polka dot boy shorts. They are similar to a lycra fabric, so they look like dance shorts. Anywhooo, the blue was pretty and brought out my eyes, but SO not Elle. 

I was frustrated, then the lovely Krista pulled a few cute things from PINK for me and I found my outfit!! 

Hot pink tank, layered over white tank. The same hot pink with white polka dot boy shorts, from before. aaaaaand, drumroll, I have white dance sneakers with pink embellishments. 

Plus my tiffany necklace! It totes screams ELLE WOODS!

Now I'm just debating about what to wear if I get a singing callback. I'm going at least be prepared with an outfit if I do. I have this one dress but I'm not sure it's the most figure flattering....on the plus side, it means not having to buy anything new.

This dress. But with a white Belt instead...I'll try and post a picture of my in it later. 

"Bridal, but not like i'm trying!"

Today I'm venturing up to canada for one of my AMDA girls, Dolly Allisons, wedding!

She's going to be a BEAUTIFUL bride! Here's a link to her wedding blog if you wanna check it out. I've been totally stalking it since she started it. She's got so much class, it's been fun to watch her wedding come together.

About the title of today's blog, I have a confession. As you have probably guessed, all subsequent post's have been titled with Legally Blonde the Musical quotes. This blog is a bit of an imposter, it's titled from the legally blonde musical. Very serious stuff. ;)

So the diet has been going SEMI-well. 1000 calories was fairly unrealistic, each day has been clocking in at 1200. Which I'm ok with. 1200 is the goal the Hollywood girls use. I was just trying to one-up them with my 1000 calorie goal. heh, FAIL. :) On the plus side, I HAVE been working out EVERYDAY! So proud of myself, I'm acctually just about to go do that now. I spent the past 45 minutes trying on dresses and flinging them to the floor in attempt to find "the perfect dress" from Dolly's wedding.

Confession #2: I cracked on my diet last night. I discovered Ben and Jerry's in the freezer. *sigh*

Usually with sweets, I just get excited and dive in. Last night I grabbed it and had about a 30 second inner monologue where I debated about whether eating one bite might be ok because it would satisfy my craving and not compeltely derail my diet. Lies. I had a bite then decided I needed to step back, so I called my mom to chat. She wasn't there....back to the ice cream. There was only about 1/3 of a cup left. 270 calories to be exact. I was currently at 645 calories for the day. I did it. Then I was bemoaning my lack of self control and needed something ELSE to cheer me up.

 chips. There was about 1/3 of a bag of those left. gone.


Junk Food: 1
Becca's Self Control: 0

Today WILL be better. I think. There will be cake though, and everyone knows it's bad luck to not eat a piece of cake at a wedding.

 Although I did decide I didn't want to get married anytime soon...So maybe it wouldn't effect me?

"I need a salon!"

May 24th at 10:30am, I am going BLONDER!!! Elle Woods, Legally Blonde, BLONDE! So Excited! I'm thinking of the styles/colors below.

Hair Color and Style

I started thinking about my audition outfit last night. I was partying with my besties and I had just finished running the dance break to "Positive" about 6 times in a row when I thought...


"this dress needs to seal the deal"
I need an outfit for the dance call and another outfit for a possible singing callback.

They say that we should wear dance sneakers but my dancing is definitely NOT as good as when I wear character shoes or ballet slippers. Plus, the outfits I can wear with dance sneakers is VERY limited and I don't particuarly like the choices. Do you think they are REALLY ganna care if I show up in something other than dance sneakers? Do you think they'd see it as a "she can't follow directions, let's not cast her" thing??
