Good morning!

Today is the day you get to see my band Burnin' Live! perform in concert. The video is READY! More on that in a moment.

...

Yesterday was another busy day in Kingkeld's hectic week.

I was at the gym most of the day, this was the first time I was running the shop 100% on my own.

It went without a hitch, absolutely no issues.

I did see though, that is MASSIVELY pays off to be there when it comes to promoting my classes. I have 4(!) potential customers just from chit-chatting. I am seriously considering opening up class number two. There is simply not gonna be room for everyone in one class. How amazing is that?

...

The extra weight from Indulgence Day friday is slowly coming off. I can't believe I gained 7 lbs from one day to the next. Obviously, it's not fat, but still.

I am two lbs down already, and I know the rest if off again in a few days, no problem.

...

I bought a new bass! Well, technically, it's an old one - and that just makes it even cooler.

This is a fun bass - it's from 1981, and built in Czekoslovakia. This is a copy of a famous Gibson bass, and they called it a "disco bass" by name. Most of the rockers back then bought it because it was cheap and pretty good to play, but hated the name, so many of them have the word "disco" scratched out - as does mine - but that's okay. I'd prefer to have on there though, as it's a fun little thing.

The bass itself is super cool looking (see pic below), and suprisingly playable. I haven't heard it on my amps just yet, but I will bring it to rehearsal today to set it all up. I'm all pumped to do this. nothing beats messing with new gear!


...

So, speaking of music - I finished the video!

I'm not really sure if we are gonne put it for general admission on Youtube - there are a little too many hiccups for my taste - but I thought I'd share it with you guys regardless. I always talk about my band and our music, and I want those of you interested in it to hear what we are doing.

So, here it is:



...

Other than that, it's a normal day at the King's Castle. I'll be having breakfast in a bit, watch a little tv, then off for my walk and gym.

Then music with the guys and home for dinner. And that's pretty much that day spent.

...

Today, I'm thankful for:
- A drop in weight.
- Morning coffee.
- A FUN day ahead of me.
- New bass! Yay!

Happy Sunday! Life is good!

Goodmorning!

Phew, it was a wild day yesterday, and it's carrying over to today too!

Yesterday, I had so many thing going on, but it was an awesome day.

I left work early to go get contact lenses. It's a whole new thing for me, as I have had glasses the last few years.

My glasses are about to give in from wear and tear, and since we are starting to play more music live, I decided that it would be nice and about time to ditch the glasses and get contact.

They're much easier to deal with, and it looks better in pictures. :)

After that, we bought sandwiches and got on the train to Copenhagen. Many fun missions to be going for...

First of all, we just went shopping. We bought some new chili stuff, new sauces and bbq stuff, and we went to enjoy Copenhagen.

The weather was AMAZING, and we ended up getting ice creams. They were great, and easy to calculate. We found a little place that actually shared their nutritional info on everything. I like!

After that, we met with my nephew, who was gonna hang with us through the evening.

He went with us as I went to buy a used bass guitar - a really fun, awesome and very cheap bass. It's very very playable and seems like it has good sound. I don't know yet, as I haven't had it set up with my gear just yet.

It's a fun story there is behind the bass. It's made in Chezckslovakia (I am SURE I misspelled that!), back in 1981. Most of these basses were destroyed, as they were copies of a famous bass by Gibson.

Obviously, there are come rights infringements going on, and they lost the battle and most of these basses were destroyed.

Still, a few remains, and they sound very gritty and dirty, and it's just the sound that I need for my playing. So I am more than happy that I got my hands on one.

Many of them are really poor quality and horrible to play on, but this one seems to be pretty good. I am happy all the way.

Anyways...

After picking it up, we went to put it in storage before going to a concert with a Danish legendary band called Sort Sol (Black Sun). Kinda post-punk music, though that doesn't even begin to describe them.

Wife loves them, and I am definitely a fan too - even more after seeing them live! They rock!

After the show, it was a two hour train ride home and in bed by 2:30 am.

...

This morning, I am at work at the gym. It's TONS of fun. I get to talk to clients, new and old, and I have signed several new customers up after introducing them to the system. What a blast!

Later, I will go home and edit the Burnin' Live! concert video, for you all to see. And OF COURSE, I'll be playing my awesome bass!

...

Yesterday, I most likely went over my calories, even for an Indulgence Day. I have no real idea of how much, but I am thinking maybe 1000 too many. That's okay. I am low with that amount on most days, so I am in no way concerned. If anything, it's a good thing.

I feel less than optimal today though. The Indian food we had for dinner didn't settle TOO well, so today I really don't feel like eating.

I had a smoothie for breakfast, lunch will probably end up being a protein bar, if anything, and Wife is making soup for dinner. Hell, it might end up being a Low Cal Day without even trying.

...

Anyways, it's taken me three hours to write this. I am BUSY at work and I better go do stuff. Just wanted to share the excitement.
...

Today, I'm thankful for:
- Such a fun day yesterday!
- A superb work day at the gym!
- Summer(!) outside!
- Promoting my weight loss class to MANY already today! I hope some will sign up. I seriously might have to open another class!

Happy weekend! Life is good!

Good morning, my friends!

It's a GORGEOUS day in Denmark. The sun is shining, and spring is attacking us from every side! I like it!

It's been a couple of BUSY days for me, and today is no exception. Just to recap:

Monday: Up at 4AM, Walk, Workout, Work, Teaching, Work, Bed around 9PM
Tuesday: Up at 4AM, Walk, Work, Bed around 9PM
Wednesday: Up at 4AM, Walk, Workout, Work, Pack music gear, Jam Session, Pack music gear, travel home, bed around midnight.
Thursday: Up at 4AM, Walk, extra long workday, 2nd job at gym, bed around 11PM
Today: Up at 4AM, Walk, Work a few hours, Go to Copenhagen, buy Bass guitar, concert. Estimated arrival home: 2.30AM
Tomorrow: Up at 6 or 7. Maybe a workout. Work at the gym until 3PM. Then crash. :)

It's been a hell of a week, but I have had SO much fun, and it's all worth it.

I did have to skip gym today. I tried. I was there for my monthly weigh-in with the SUPER smart scale, but attempting the circuit training, I could tell that my body kindly asked me to skip.

I will be back tomorrow or Sunday. No biggie. I just need a little rest.

"So, how were the numbers from the gym, Keld?".
The numbers were great, actually!
I still have an impressive metabolic age of 28.
I have gained a kilo of muscle the last month.
I have lost 2½ kilos the last month.
All in all a good weigh-in.

What is interesting is that even if I have been low in my calories consistently the last month, I still gained muscle mass. I like that.
It's worth noticing that going TOO low doesn't give the same benefit. I worked out even harder when I did my three weeks of 600 calories, and I lost a lot of fat, but also two kilos of muslce at that time. I don't recommend it.

It does tell me that maybe it's not that bad a thing I am doing right now. I love being at and around the weight I am, just about 80, and I see muscles growing. At the same time I have "eating consciously" down to a science that I don't even think about, and it's all good. I can't think of anything to complain about, really.

Then again, why would I? The sun is shining, and it's gonna be a fun day.

...

Work today is easy. A walk in the park.

Schedule for the day is pretty much like this:

At work:
- writing my journal(!) Obviously, I am doing this now at 8:30AM.
- Breakfast with my group at 9:30
- Leave at 10:30.
- Meet with my eye-guy at 10:45 to try out contacts. My glasses are slowly breaking after 5 years of daily use. I figured I'd try something else.
- Off to Copenhagen.
- Shoppoing.
- Meet with Nephew.
- Go meet a guy and buy his used bass guitar(!)
- Off to store said bass in a locker for the rest of the day.
- Dinner. Indian buffet!
- Hopefully AWESOME concert.
- Home.
- Sleep.

I have quite som things to do. :)

It's gonna be a fun day though, I am really looking forward to it.

Since we're gonna be out, dining, with my nephew, and going to the concert, Wife and I have decided that today is Indulgence Day instead of tomorrow. It's gonna be easier to tackle a day like today if there is no real limitations to the food. I doubt that I will go very high, though, as my breakfast is only 300 calories, and I don't have much planned for lunch either. Maybe just a pita or something. It all depends what I feel like.

...

Today, I'm thankful for:
- All the things I gotta do. I'm having FUN!
- Morning coffee and late breakfast. I couldn't eat, drink or workout three hours prior to my weigh-in, so I was happy to have my smoothie at work. :)
- Wife!
- Spring time!

Happy Friday and have a great weekend! Life is good!

Good morning!

Here is the dilemma:

So much to tell, and not too much time to talk (well, type) as I am at work. Ah, to hell with it. I'll spill all the beans! LOL!

Where to start. Well, let's get the weight out of the way.

I am at a new low again. I don't really know any longer if I am happy or unhappy about that. I have found my sweet spot, I feel, and I am SO comfortable at this weight. I really don't want to get heavier.

At the same time, I am pretty sure I am losing some muscle mass from not eating enough. I try, hard, but it just doesn't happen. Even when I go have fun, I am low!

I don't want to eat just to eat, though. I want to eat when I feel that my body wants food. This is what I have fought to learn over the last year, and I really don't want to get into binging just to get the proteins. As much as I realize that I need more protein to build muscle, just as much do I not want to go back towards bad habits that got me in trouble in the first place.

I know it's a dilemma. I know I gotta work on it. But at the same time, I feel physical improvements where I am going right now.

When I look at myself in the mirror, or even when I look at my hands and arms right now, I can see that I am thinner. My hands are skinnier, and I'm assuming this is more fluids than fat that is coming off me.

...

I did do better on the eating yesterday. I had breakfast, a 2nd breakfast smoothie, half a grilled chicken for lunch, pita with beef, lettuce and dressing for dinner. Not too bad.

Since the sun was shining, and we were all excited about the evening, whilst waiting for the time to pass, wife and I decided that it would be a very good day to find a bench in the sun and enjoy a cup of coffee and an ice cream. It was such a nice thing on such a nice day.

I ended up at a total of about 2200 calories - more than I have reached on a normal day for a while. Not too bad.

The down side to that is that today I have zero hunger. I had about haft the breakfast I made this morning, and I have no urge for 2nd breakfast. I don't want to eat just to be eating, so next meal will be lunch.

Lunch will be leftover chicken soup from Tuesday, and thus low calorie - about 175 calories for a huge portion. I will have no trouble living off of this for the time until dinner.

Dinner will probably be another pita. Depending how hungry I am, I might ask for a larger version, but as I am going to work at the gym straight from my daytime job, it will have to be something that I can pick up on the way and eat fairly quick. Pita it is.

There is a little birthday bash here at work, in a few minutes. I will see what they serve, and maybe have a little something if I find it appealing.

EDIT:
Nothing appealing at the b-day bash. At all. Just bread, bread and more bread. Just white bread. Thanks, but no thanks.
So, looking at my calculations for the day, without even aiming for it, I'm doing another Low Cal Day. That's ok. I'll have an easier weekend, and I will have no issues having a fun time going out tomorrow. More on that later!
END OF EDIT:

...

I am so excited to go work at the gym today. Today is my first day there alone, and I am in no way intimidated by it. It's really cool to start a job like this with nothing but confidence. I'm sure I'll run into things that I didn't expect, but I am in no way scared of it. BRING IT ON!

...

So... last night...

It. Was. AWESOME!

We went to the "Wednesday Jam" yesterday. Basically, it's a bunch of people showing off for each other, playing in bands, doing jam sessions, fun stuff.

We went with two projects in mind - a jam between my band and my brother's band, and - more importantly - the live premiere of my band, Burnin' Live!

It went SO well, both sets. We played Kid Rock's All Summer Long and a Danish rock song as jams. They were fun, and pretty energetic. Wife didn't care for it, but listening back on it on recordings, I found it really fun. I liked it.

But Burnin' Live! was amazing! It was a blast to finally get to present everything to people, and even if there was a few mistakes, and a poorly assembled drumkit that fell apart(!) on the drummer, we did well. People liked it, and we LOVED playing.

We were set up for three songs, but ended up playing four.



The whole thing was recorded, and as soon as I get the video, I will sync it up with the much better sounding audio for a nice presentation. I can't wait to show you guys!

It was a LONG day - up at 4 AM, and in bed again around 11 PM, just to be up again at 4 AM this morning, to be at work until 9 PM tonight. Then tomorrow up at 4 AM, and then I'm gonna be moving until WAY too late. But more about that tomorrow. :)

...

Today, I'm thankful for.
- The most AWESOME day yesterday. Thank you to everyone that made it possible.
- Coffee, coffee, coffee. I'm gonna need it.
- The outlook to a beautiful day. The sun is shining, and will continue shining every day this week. I like.

Have a great day! Life is good - and FUN!
