Kinky at Cal Plaza

Sunday night, after much anticipation, I went to see, one of my favorite bands, Kinky. They were fabulous. I created a goal for myself (and now that I am writing it down, I need to figure out the best way to do it) of translating their Spanish songs into English so that I know what they are singing. I am sure there is some place on line that has this, but I would learn a lot from doing it myself. My friend, Angeles, kept translating bits of songs for my on Sunday and it just made me want to know more.

The crowd was huge. It was hard to find a place to stand and still see the band and not be standing in "fire lanes." But we did it. We found an edge to stand and dance in where we could see and it wasn't over crowded.

I just love watching them move. I like listening to them sing too, but I love to watch them move about the stage. I will have to find a video clip that shows this so I can post it.

Word of Warning (from a friend)

Yesterday, I was telling a friend of mine about my new diet. Her warning was not to lose weight too quickly as it will show in my face. Which has always seemed a good thing, but now it means my wrinkles will show more, my skin will be a bit loose. All the things to think about.

wait weight

This morning I actually dared weigh myself. Lately (as in this summer), I have been eating and drinking with very little regard for what it is other than pleasure and I have noticed areas of my body becoming larger and my clothes becoming tighter. The weight didnt' wait. So, according to the doctor like scale we have at the clinic, I weigh 148 pounds. I weighed myself for the sole purpose of being able to see how much weight I lose. I have put myself on a very strict diet, which has some leeway given my activity level. (leeway and strict in the same sentence, hmmm.... - but adding a few ounces of veggies or an extra piece or two of fruit is allowable). So far so good (granted it is day 1). I don't know what the goal is other than I feel better in my clothes. I should end up a bit healthier too. I was going to do the Master Cleanse again. But this seemed much healthier both physically and mentally. It is 3.5 oz of veggies 2x a day, 3.5 oz of fish 2x a day and 3.5 oz of fruit 2x a day. And lots of water and tea. I am back on a bit of caffiene, but very rarely. We shall see how this goes. If I need more fruit and/or veggies so I don't bite anyones head off, I think that is completely okay. The hard part is prep and choices, where in the master cleanse there are no choices.
