So yesterday was day one of the diet......but I didn't start on the Beethoven until today.
Day one of dieting was a serious drag. I'm a diabetic and by the end of the day my body was in high rebellion. I ended up having a small bowl of grape nuts cereal last night - NOT on the initial phase of South Beach, but I felt it was in my best interest. Likewise, that is how I started the day today. And I feel no guilt about that variation because it will keep me out of jail.
The rest of today has gone well. I had my 30 pistachios, my lunch was some lean roast beef in a lettuce wrap and I included a little shredded cheese, a very small amount of mayo and mustard, and a couple of diced olives. It was ok, but I had kind of an attitude while eating it. I'm having a salad with chicken for dinner, and I already made myself some sugar free jello which will be my night time snack. Thank God for the Keurig. I'm drinking hot tea and this is helping. I do add a small amount of cream to my hot tea - lowfat milk - and there may just be enough sugar in that milk to keep my body happy.
I dont consider these little things cheating or anything that will become a slippery slope. We'll see......
Onto Beethoven. The first few measures may be the easiest in the whole piece - so yay for today! I can play them like a champ, at tempo. Of course it's kind of funny because after those first five measures of we dont hear from the piano for two pages, but tomorrow's chunk looks like something I can do.
