saturday, mo' workin' out, mo' workz

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.
