Progress (or Lack Thereof)
Last week I started a new regime that involves playing more piano and implementing a healthier lifestyle… well I did work up my Bach and Debussy (though the Debussy has a little more work to go) but I only got half-way through my Hanon – I just got blocked when I got to the scales! I figure since I’m going through a different key each week, I can skip over the scales and arpeggios for now and only do them in the particular key. So it’s on to Hanon book 3 to catch up (and that’s no easy task)!
I found I had less ‘extra’ time for playing than I thought I would – I forgot that the WoW Wrath of the Lich King expansion pack came out this week – how on earth can I do anything else with this time when I have Frostyna to work on?!? (And I’ve always wanted a frosty character!)
My Death Knight Frostyna
As for the health part, I did manage to go all week without eating beef – it was actually quite easy! I even forgot about it until I almost ordered my Thai noodles with beef and then changed to chicken. 1200 calories a day worked until the weekend where I undid most of the good (though I did lose 2 pounds for the week).
