STOP!!!
Taking an evening to REST!!! Except for guitar practice.
Been thinking a lot about a lot of things. Trying not to be too hard on myself for not having much energy and for all the mood swings I have been having in recent months. For crying out loud I started the year off with some serious sleep apnea then have undergone two surgeries!! The Dr. has told me that the surgeries especially on my tonsils are a lot on men my age. Somehow I don't spend much time thinking of that, I still expect myself to just jump on the wagon in MY time which is usually founded in severe impatience.
Actually I feel MUCH better after the surgeries but I have a way to go. Now I am facing the weight issue. I think I have a good handle on the solution this time......better than past half butted attempts. I think now is different in that I have a clear picture of what my life will continue like if I don't take action. In my mind I don't have any option but to make some serious lifestyle changes. OK....so the latest target? 230 by March WITH new habits that will foster ME keeping it off. My final goal is 210 as determined by the Dr. Its all going to take consistent habit changing but I can do this.
Anyway already enough of that. Last night Julia and I went out to Tall Stacks with her mother and aunt. I never remember there being so much to see in regards to music. I wish I had spent about every night out there soaking that up. Cincinnati music really does not come close to the quality of music that comes in from places like Nashville and Chicago...sad to say. Well next time. We took a dinner cruise on the General Jackson and as expected they had a killer show and the house band was awesome.
I have backed off Guitar Psycho for a while. Just need to do something different. Will come back later. Still teaching though. Been playing at Journey this month which has been good......except for my frigging amp and sound. The 6 is taking a dive and the wait to get it fixed is 2-4 weeks which I can't do right now because I don't have the time. Next week I am just going to go with it and play it till it croaks. I tried using an old rig last weekend and I was so distracted I was just not able to feel anything which I depend on heavily when I play. Probably one of my worst showings in a very long time. I left pretty sickened. Fortunately it did not seem to cause any problems with the goal of worship though.
Anyway enough blabbing for now.

I really understand the weight thing. I have fought it all my life. I just work out try to eat right. btw.. I have sleep the disorder too.. I got the machine... I am hooked up baby! It works... it took me almost a year to get used to it.
Later on man! Keep pickin'
