Improv audition

I had an audition to join the National Improv Theatre Company. There was a lot of people there, probably 40 or more. So there was not only a lot of competition but no one got much stage time. I think I've said it before but Improv is one of the only things in life I truly I believe I've good at. I've always been good at being funny in the moment.
The audition went sub par, I hadn't done it in awhile, and I'm much better with being naturally funny as opposed to being a character. I think they were looking more for overacting theatre types, which were abundant. They were louder than everyone else and just tried to talk over one another. Improv is more about being a team and feeding off one another. I think I did this well, let's see if the people making the decisions noticed it.
For those who don't know I've been on quite the gym kick since last Thanksgiving. I've missed maybe 10 days total since then. It wasn't that hard to go everyday when I wasn't working but I've continued since I've started working. I'm not working quite as hard, burning 500 calories instead of 1000 on my cardio days that I work. I'm finally under 180 for the first time in at least a few years. I got over 195 at one point. If I could stop drinking I could lose a bunch more weight as I only eat 2 meals a day. I'm usually hungry a lot, but it takes me little food to get full so that's good, considering I don't have much money and I'm trying to lose weight.
