Day 381
Wonderful hang today - with Peter Bernstein and Lonnie Smith - we all had a great dinner - sure fun to catch up with Lonnie after so long, and pete is always good company. Man they sounded great - i esp. liked "Just Squeeze Me" and all those bluesy tunes Lonnie writes. Smitty sounded great on drums too - such an amazing feel he has. Pete and I are hopefully going to hang again before he leaves town - I know after this month it will probably be a while as it usually is.
Still shedding moment's notice - worked on that for an hour today, plus continued to memorize new west music, plus the david pritchard music - now its on to more new arrangements for new west, including jobim's fotographia and claire fischer's pensativa - plus some originals as well.
Today was great for another reason - went to the doctor and things are looking very very good. I can't believe my total cholesterol is only 110! my LDLs were 60!!! The doctor said ill quote "live forever" with those kinda numbers. Its sure re-assuring to know this health thing has really worked out for me. Plus, I got on the scale today and hit 219!!! Its amazing - 219. Im finally getting there again - I like it when I see new numbers on that damn scale. Tommorrow Ive got an awkward day ahead of me - since im in LA im gonna try and connect with some peeps before heading down to Irvine to teach.
What a day indeed food wise as well!
1. Cereal w/milk
2. 2 turkey veggie sausages w/whole wheat buns
3. baby carrots
4. 3 pieces dark chocolate
5. some pretzels
6. 1 pizza greco
7. cobb salad w/avocado, egg, some bacon, bleu cheese, light dressing
8. diet coke (unfortunetly i had three of these - too much sodium! but tommorrow ill purge, its fine)
9. oh yeah, lots of water
I had the opportunity twice to eat sweets and turned them both down - sounds like im on a roll again.
While I know the 219 reading was a bit light at this juncture, im gonna keep pressing forward - tommorrow its another three mile run and abs and lower body as well - im gonna make it a full circle. Plus Ive got lots of shedding to do after seeing peter play! Maaaann, so smoking.
more to come. . . . .
