Good morning!
It's Saturday, it's a day in the name of Rock And Roll, and I am so looking forward to it.
I'm gonna be jamming with my old friend The Captain, and a kid from my music class. We're hoping to get a new band off the ground today - I'm SO excited.
Weight wise I'm doing amazing. I am down a whopping 1.2 kgs (almost 3 lbs) since yesterday. It makes me confident that I'm doing good.
I have noticed that I am retaining quite some water. I see it in my legs and around my stomach mostly. I know this is the perfectly normal after effect from my surgery, and this of course can not be fixed by reducing calories.
I was reading up on it a little yesterday, and the trick is essentially to drink lots and lots of water - convincing your body that it is NOT low on water and that there is plenty available. This will over some time make your body shed the water. When you think of it, it's not too different from my philosophy on the Indulgence Diet.
So, I'm on my way. I'm losing some weight. I am sure a lot of what I am losing is water - I've been drinking a full glass of water every hour on the hour the entire time I am awake for a couple of days, and every day I have come down at least a kilo. Not bad. Hopefully this will be all I need, but I doubt that I am this lucky.
Anyways...
I have all my music great packed, and I am ready to go rock out!
Wife, Daughter and I will go shopping and have our usual Saturday lunch (though I will do some extra moderation), and I will ensure to buy a bag of mixed fruits to take to rehearsal.
Then The Captain will come pick me up, and we'll haul our gear to the school where we will rehearse. It's a great place as we have a nice big room - even though the acoustics there are very BOOMY - and we can play as loud as we want for as long as we want. Yes, I am bringing ear plugs. I might even use them. :)
I will bring a video camera, and hopefully have a recording of something to show later. I don't really want to spend time filming, just want it running so we can take a listen later and hear/see if there is any chemistry at all. Sometimes playing and listening can be very different experiences.
So that is the plan for today.
Today I am thankful for:
- The sun coming out even if they promised rain!
- ROCK AND FRICKIN' ROLL!
- Morning coffee.
- Feeling better.
- Losing water/weight.
Happy Saturday! Life is good!
