Day 496
Yesterday, day 495, was a monday. A monday in every respect of the word. I was chased down by some random dude on the street and had to call the police, then I had to round-up all my students to remind them about lessons and in the process lost a few, I practiced for three hours, but then wasted two on the phone, only taught for an hour in irvine and spent two and a half hours in the car then another 30 minutes parking the car.
Luckily, I ended it on a high note - visiting Land up on 2nd street, and seeing Matt Otto and Adam Schroeder with a bunch of great cats - definetly a good hang. And I managed to get two sessions out of it!
Diet and excersize wise, I have really succeeded the past 9 days of the new year. Ive been able to resist temptation for certain foods, managed to excersize almost every day, and included new weight training over at the YMCA in Los Altos. I think Im going to join that gym since its the most economic for me.
As day 500 approaches, I am reminded of my long-term goals. While I didn't reach my penultimate goal for day 500, I am on the right track. This kind of health plan takes a much longer time to work itself through, and I figure by may or june I should be closer to the goal weight, if not there.
I guess the only thing stopping me right now is making sure that I don't eat out and that I pack all my meals to work/rehearsals/gigs/etc. I also need to figure out my excersizing on fridays and saturdays. Those seem to be the hardest days for me, but I know I can schedule it if I wake up earlier.
Music wise, I started my practice journal again. Today, Im going to compose a tune, review the new west book again for our upcoming record, possibly transcribe some Breaker off of "Two Blocks from the Edge" which Im listening to right now. I really want to go CD shopping - ill have to go in another couple of weeks.
Well enough for now - I have to get to work!
