Disco Biscuit trip recap

(I actually wrote this the 26, but somehow failed to post it...)

The Chicago show was ridiculous... It was at the Congress Theater where I used to go to shows in high school, but I encountered a very different place then I remembered. Somehow over the last few years the kids that frequent that venue have transformed from a crowd of happy hippies to a bunch of cranked out ass holes. On the up side, it makes me feel like my work studying meth could eventually do a lot of good. The show itself was rad and J and I still managed to have a killer time (once we had successfully contained the paranoia brought on by our doses) and really enjoy the experience. The final show last night we attended pretty sober and actually had as much fun as we did at any of the others, albeit in a different way.

J and I have talked a lot about this adventure and deconstructed our experience: The conclusions seem to be (1) We are really glad we did it, (2) We are getting to old for this shit, and (3) We really needn't use hard drugs much any longer and probably ought to minimize drinking. We have already been moving in that direction and this experience really solidified that notion.

On that note we have decided to really commit to continuing the healthy lifestyle we have started. We are already doing a good job working out together and sleeping more, and now we are going to work on continuing to cut back on drinking and drug use and cooking healthy foods together most nights. I know it sounds lame, but I am totally stoked. We also felt like we picked up some bad energies at the Chicago show, so we are going to see a shaman to align our shakras (hehe, how fun) and get massages.

And my eating... well I developed some bad habits (i.e. not eating frequently enough, making up for eating too much one day by eating less the next) and as such I gained some weight. My nutritionist and I have a plan, though, and I have set a weight loss goal. I have a target calorie breakdown for each day and am attempting to stick to it. We'll see how it goes...

Don't I know it... I have a goal weight that I set with my nutritionist and a healthy range I have promised myself I would never go below, so hopefully as long as I keep the professional advice in mind I can handle this :)
