As I'm writing this, J's band is jamming in the room next door. Their premier gig at the start of this month was such a hit they've already got three more gigs lined up. They're currently working on some new material.
I haven't felt particularly creative lately. I haven't done a post on the writing/d&d blog in ages.
I do have a project in the works. As y'all have probably noticed, I mention making YouTube videos every once in a while.
Well, I started a channel a while back, with the initial focus on my weight loss and how I've accomplished it. Well, starting December 1, I'm going to do a vlogging challenge. I'm going to make and post 1 video a day through December 21st. I'm calling it the Solstice Challenge (not affiliated with the geocaching challenge of the same name).
I'm doing it for two reasons:
1) To see if I can create daily content and (2) to stretch myself as a creator. I'd like to talk about more things than weight loss on the channel and I think this will help me expand my repetoire, so to speak.
To say I'm somewhat nervous to be doing this is an understatement. Some days I think about it and I'm perfectly fine. Excited even. Then there are the other days when I think about it and wonder if I've gone batshit crazy? I suppose we'll find out soon enough.
Anyway, today is a 1500 calorie day and I have eaten:
1 Package of Asian Medley vegetables
1 Package of Microwavable Long-grain Brown Rice
1 Can of Chunk Chicken Breast
1 Package of Thin Bread Sticks
1 Red Delicious Apple.
Altogether, that's 1460 calories. So, not bad.
Since this week is Thanksgiving, I'm taking Thursday as a Free Day and have tomorrow as a 1500 calorie day.
I fully expect to gain weight this week with the holiday and all.
If I don't, I'll be pleasantly susprised.
Today, I am grateful that I am not the homeless people I see on the street, holding signs, asking for help. I'm grateful that I have a job and a home and friends who care about me, that I don't suffer from mental illness or have experienced anything so devastating that it would reduce me to a homeless, penniless vagrant.
