May 26, 2012: Post 147, Day 147 - Cheat Day 1

Daily Comment

I played a gig tonight I've been looking forward to all week. 

I haven't played much this week, due to i am Fool moving rehearsals to Thursdays. That is the same night as one of the jams I check in with regularly, so that means one night instead of two nights out playing). Of course, I get in some good playing time on those two nights, but it is too concentrated - I'd play as much and then more on two other nights if I could. 

Realistically, it would be great if I could get all that time spread around a little more during the week.

Along with a change in  playing availability at a few other locations, and cancellations of various open mics, I am down to only two nights of available jamming: Thursdays and Sundays. Since I don't like playing at home, alone, I have to find activities for two nights of non-playing.

Having established a certain tendency to 'escape' whenever I have free non-playing time, I have been squandering this new-found time unproductively. I think that's going to change a bit. Probably just in time to add a couple of new nights to playing, and save me from doing anything productive with my life.

Outside of my playing.

Diet Comment:

Yesterday's prodigious eating bodes ill for my weight after this weekend - even though I do plan on an all-day fast on Monday, Memorial Day.

Unfortunately, this holiday weekend is not promising for weight maintenance. I have activities that will probably involve lots of food Saturday and Sunday...

And I had a lot of food at dinner - I just kept eating. Not sure what's going on with that...

And it's the first of two consecutive cheat days.

Dinner

Sorry about the picture, my new iPhone doesn't do well in low-light situations. Anyway, what we have here is a Waldorf salad, with fruits, nuts, and greens, with goat cheese and a too-sweet dressing. On the right, Chicken tenders with hot sauce, sour cream, ranch dressing, and french frries. I took the salad to go, and finished it the rest of the night.
