Carb
Sometimes I am a slow learner. Especially when it comes to things I don't want to know. When I wrapped up my Thirty Days of Cipro Festival, I was so happy to be able to eat normally that I was a tad over-exuberant in my food choices. Ten pounds up. I knew I wanted to dance at Smoker looking more like this and less like this, so I followed my tried-and-true method of Eating Fewer Carbs*. Five pounds down since Saturday.
Why oh why do I let myself fall into these habits all the time? I mean, a pizza now and then is fine, but not when it's kept company by chips, submarine sammiches, and sushi. Reach a goal weight and limit yourself to one carby meal a week, girl. It's not that hard. I feel better. I look better. So what if I don't get to stuff my face with exactly what I want, anytime the whim hits me? I mean...seriously? Nnnng. Stupid, stupid.
Just a note: Please don't tell me I "still look great" in the heavier/fatter photo. Just don't. I know how I prefer my body to look. Don't feel you need to comfort me or whatever. I know I'm awesome. Your emotional bolstering is nice, but unnecessary.
Last night I got to see Deke play at Knuckleheads. Little Rachel opened for him. It was the last live music show I'll see before KCRF is over, and it was a great one! Thank gods for bar/club owners who understand that starting a show at 10:00 p.m. (or later) on a weeknight is fucking ridiculous. I bet I was home from Kansas City before most bands headlining in Lawrence took the stage.
Most of the local rockabilly scene seems to have died. I've noticed, the past couple shows, that there are more normals and fewer scenesters. Last night, there were only a handful of the old group in attendance. I understand not dolling up for every show, but not even coming out? To see Deke? Kind of sad when the Local Boy Who Made It Big can't get people to come out. Maybe the $10 cover kept people at home. Dunno. It was weird. I guess most everybody moves on at some point, but I somehow didn't expect it of that group.
I have got to learn to lead swing. Hardly anyone was dancing, and that is a damn shame.
* I should note, eating grain-free and relatively low-carb still results in bloating post-meal. I'm going to have to deal with that again, but not until post-KCRF.
