I still haven’t looked up what week we’re on. And I haven’t done much of anything healthy. But I’m planning and making dinners better. I hope to start exercising soon. I feel ready, but distracted. There are so many other things I want to do with my time right now. I have books I want to read. I’m dyeing, spinning, and knitting stuff. I have packaging to think about, and a website to get built. A house to keep up and a family to keep fed and clothed. I have guitar scales to practice.

My guitar teacher is still kicking my butt. I feel like I get more and more behind every lesson. He gives me SO MUCH, and I can’t possibly master it in one week. And he doesn’t expect me to, but I do. When I get frustrated, I need to look back on how far I’ve come and it gets better. Roger never gives me time to revel in accomplishment. It’s always “on to the next step” so I always feel like I’m floundering. But really, I’ve learned so much. I have to keep telling myself that. For example, I can now do the Major scale, which spans 5 frets!!! I’ve been working on it for about a month. It was literally painful. And I was clumsy. But I can make the reach now with very little discomfort. Woohoo!

Then last week he gave me some wretched Diminished Arpeggio thing that has me feeling all thumbs again. Go figure.

So, Health Group…. I’m going to try to exercise twice this week, and eat respectably. That’s my goal.
