i can see the trends. Today was a big day for me, Im definetly on the road again. Lets see how I do tommorrow!

190 here I come. . .

Day 767

Today ran twice - first, twice around echo park lake, then second, around elysian park up and down in the hills. I like this neighborhood, its great for excersizing. . . . . .

Today i ate well:

1. cereal
2. 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter
3. water
4. chicken tamales w/salsa
5. some tortilla chips
6. 2 clif bars throughout the day
7. chicken
8. rice
9. salad w/italian dressing
10. 1 slice of bread
11. water
12. twix bar

This was a great diet, based around protein at every meal, but also good fats. While I could have cut calories by avoiding the twix bar, and the dressing, and the chips, that would probably have been 500 calories right there. Tommorrow, im going to make my big lunch, and a nice breakfast. Ill have to plan on my meal for the evening.

Practice wise, I worked again on coltrane tunes, at pretty fast tempos. Spent some time looking at chord chemestry, and frankly enjoying my way getting into the groove.

Day 766

Settled into my new place, i ran around echo park lake today. Very nice, im going to do this everyday from now on.

Today i ate:

1. kashi cereal
2. 1 toast w/peanut butter
3. 2 chicken tamales
4. chips/salsa
5. bread
6. bbq chicken salad
7. soda

Today I practiced about an hour, again worked on Lazy Bird, Stella, and in general, my phrasing.

alright- tommorrow, leaner, no soda, avoid chips, more running, and perhaps some sit ups too. . . look over some tunes haven't seen in a while. Work on ii-V ideas.

and Im on the road to recovery. . .
