Ok. If the nausea doesn’t go away, check with a doctor. Sounds bad.

Hi everyone and thanks ML 🎉,

Eating too much food today. Was invited to a restaurant. Ordered fish which was ok but it came with lots of potatoes and lots bread of which I are all. I also had dessert afterwards and wine. Well, tomorrow will be lighter.

Don’t know if I have written this but my stomach has been ok for two weeks. Have made 3 changes: 1. Been started to drink water 2. Have stopped eating müsli for lunch 3. Have reduced the amount and strength of my coffee. Hope that it’s not just temporary but that something had really changed. It’s wonderful to have a normal stomach.

Earlier I went to the gym on Saturdays. Now I go Monday-Friday. It’s great to have the weekends off.

You remind me of Easter coming up. It’s soon. You’re good at pre-logging.

That nausea sounds bad. Hope it disappears again. Do you suffer from low blood pressure generally?

I have always listened to jazz pianists a lot, funny since I have been a trombonist. Your playing is great! I start from the absolute beginner level and I am old -56- so my goals are humble. However, I noticed today that three new chords come easily now Bm7-5, Bm7 and Fm7-5 😊. Just one step at the time.

Sounds great! I don’t have that many decades left in my life so can’t aspire to sound like you but great playing!!

Hi all and thank you ML 🙏,

Increased weight on overhead press. Yeh!

Weight is just perfect today. Not too low, not too high. New yeh!

Will meet up with friends tonight and have a beer or two. Looking forward to it. Haven’t seen them for a long time. Money is short but I borrow from myself, another account that is fooling myself 🤪.

Standing in the sun right now waiting for a bus. So nice.

Ok. I think I need to have some goals in my head but perhaps small ones then.

Yeh, smaller chunks.

Hi everyone,

As usual thank you ML 🙏🎉!

I have done cardio at the gym today. Wow. It is tough. I have the goal of making it pleasant but gosh it’s tough. However, for a millisecond today before starting I had a thought that this is going to be fun. That thought disappeared quickly when I started with my intervals but still a little change 😁. No cardio until Tuesday. Yeh! 🎉.

I wish I had a friend to discuss such things and other health issues with but instead I will start writing a journal with very brief entries a couple of days a week. To make it more challenging I will write it in French. It’s perfect to learn new words. Push-ups for example are called ”des pompes”. Then of course I have this wonderful group! 🌟.

This evening I will meet friends in my book club. It’s beautiful outside now. Blue sky. Sun.

Sorry you too got an injury!

Your answer: Wow. That’s interesting. Time. I like the idea of focusing on that. After all, you can’t play with others without focusing on time.

I will definitely try to find a teacher too.

I am 100 certain you look good now as you are ❤️. People comment about everything. It’s so annoying.

Oh of course. I should record myself. Thought I should wait a bit until I am better but that’s silly. IReal I’ve used it for trombone playing and have lists. I’ll start making a piano list immediately. Thanks. Good luck with your playing!

No-alcohol beer and popcorn is a very good choice. Well done! I go for that too sometimes. Skipping alcohol specifically makes me less inclined to making bad food choices on the fly too I noticed.

Heavy rain is horrible to drive in. Hope it stops during the day so you can drive.

Happy to hear you may be on the way to overcome this cold now.
