So, I've been thinking how much easier it is to diet and workout compared to make time for working on music. I guess I got really burnt-out last semester. Plus, in terms of accordion, it like, let's be HONEST -- fucking sucks when you return to your instrument after a couple months hiatus. Plus, picking up the instrument inches me into a mini-existential crisis: its been THIS LONG since I played?? Who am I?! And then your hands are all like blah blah I'm all over the place you are NOT one with the music, girl.
But.
Ahem.
I have decided that I will do at least:
1 hr. of accordion
1 hr. of dinosaur-playing
a day. and not like, serious practicing. But, at least, I will be on it. Then, after fooling around and getting my groove back, I will actually start real practicing.
I also want to start practicing the adv. rhythm stuff. Maybe I will do that on my instruments, instead of takedimis.
I will have to look at renting an accordion in Roanoke.
During the school year, I will reduce it to 1/2 hr. Maybe every other day, but I will try to keep up.
So, today I will try and do those things as well as:
++Finish video analysis on the first video. OMFG, so close to this.
++Work out in the gym!
Umm, well it is a weekend day so I think that is enough.
One thing I have been working on in my diet is reducing sodium. I am not a chocoholic nor am I into sweets or anything. But, BOY do I love salty, crunchy things. Boy, do I love salt. While I've mostly stayed away from chips, etc -- usually not a normal part of my diet so that's not hard. But I lovesz the salt. Trying to curb it!
I am also drinking a lot of green tea. I mean, burns almost 100 cal a day if you drink at least 4 cups a day. Which isn't TOOO bad. Esp. since the iced version subs for water pretty well.
