A high-calorie but nutrient-dense day yesterday, and I came into today's fast in very good shape. I think I would be in better shape if not for yesterday's dietary indiscretion (fail!), but that is, as they say, water under the bridge. Even though I only made it to 22 hours, I expect this fast to set my hormones right.

Daily Comment

Some times getting started is so difficult. One example I am faced with every day is getting out of bed. I know I make it difficult for myself because I just don't want to do it. And it doesn't have a thing to do with any dread about the coming day (I don't dread my days) - it just has to do with the fact that I, like the helplessly depressed Brian Wilson of the 70s, like being in bed. I just don't want to get out of bed. Sue me. I know the answer to the problem, but just don't have the motivation to employ it.

But that's not what I was initially thinking of when this topic occurred to me. I was thinking of my new band (Big Talk) and how much difficulty we're having putting together our 1st rehearsal. Two weeks have gone by since we settled on a 'final' lineup (which meant finding a good drummer). People have schedules - most people (not me) have other people to coordinate with. I have tried to balance being part of the problem with some solutions. We're getting closer.
