I am looking forward to heading into the weekend with a trip to Woodstock, which was a mainstay hangout in the mid-1970s, the mid-1980s, and only a few times since.
My weight is down as low as its been all summer.
My music continues to be my life's focus. September (the next time you'll hear from me on the blog, by the way) promises to be the busiest month in my music-playing and listening history, with a baker's dozen booked gigs and three concerts, none of which will interfere with my open mic attendance.
And, I continue to pursue my upright bass initiative, slightly stalled as I've been busy, busy, busy with things I didn't anticipate (mainly, getting/installing my new TV, slightly broken out of the box, and hours of customer/tech service calls, ongoing).
When I started writing this comment, I had no idea what I was going to write about, which is unusual - I usually start with some kind of idea, some theme, and then just riff. This time, no idea, all riff. It seems now that it's like all the amateur guitar noodling - just making noise for the sake of it, no art involved.
Which is fine. My writing is pretty art-less, it's really all about trying to avoid typos. With limited success.
But a three-day weekend, hosted, with a Jorma Kaukonen concert in the middle, and no performance obligations, is not something I can ignore.
Or not think about.
Have a great one. See you Tuesday.

Because I plan/planned on driving through dinner tonight, a couple of days ago I went looking for a convenient place to buy Quest bars. I found out GNC put Quest bars on sale, and the last two days, they have dominated my diet. Today, they will, too. The good news is that today I'm at my lowest weight in two months. We'll see how a weekend of party-eating affects that.Diet Comment

good for you. We went to that restaurant in Milton that we went to with you (we had scallops) and it was great again. Not even weighing myself today but overall I have gained 3 pounds. Lost in food again
ReplyDeleteI need intention not to repeat bad habits. What to do?
ReplyDeleteIs there such a thing as a good habit? Try watching yourself acting habitually. not doing anything, such as trying to behave differently, or trying to stop it. Just observe yourself. Then try to consciously act in your habitual manner. That is the difference between automatic, habitual behavior and intentional behavior. When you bring your awareness to what you are doing in the now (remember yourself), there is no room in your consciousness for automatism, It kind of dissolves. Let me know if this works for you.

Repeat, as necessary.

Don't worry about it. Figure out where what's good to eat intersects with what's good for you to eat, eat that, and don't worry about it. This weekend I gained six pounds by enjoying only half that advice, you get the idea, Pay attention, be happy.
ReplyDeleteI will try. I am feeling lost right now in what I was doing. Oh well, just try again.

ReplyDeleteThe most important thing is to pay attention, as Andy says. What you did is done. You get a do-over as every new minute unfolds.
Maybe, when you feel lost, you could call someone. Me or Andy or a trusted friend.
