Some progress! Not huge but enough to keep me motivated. Exercising seems to help me to watch my diet and to apply some caution when the urge to graze strikes.
The best part is being well enough to drum again because, aside from the joy it gives me, I can burn calories at a high rate if I play with some force.
I've appended a couple of pictures from my "office." The big kit is a barrel of fun to play. but is bulky, heavy and takes ages to set up or tear down.
The white one is my gigging kit over the last couple of years. It's light and compact and way easier to transport. I'm now practising on it, having made the decision that I will stay alive and I will get to play gigs again.
A big mental shift was needed when it finally occured to me that I had been waiting to die, rather focusing on LIVING my best life.
While I'm adding photos for the first time, I'll add in a then and now. Me at my hairiest in 1974 and as I am now 47 years later.
