Past the mark

November has been pretty hectic for me nearly every weekend I've been busy doing things with friends rather staying at home. Its been a great November. A November that I wont forget in a long time, I've been to a wedding in Tokyo, I've been to rememberance day of death of a friend, a bbq, a night sleeping in a tent, and the lastly the weekend I went away with the only the boys to Kusatsu Onsen.

I should have been more stronger willed, (is willed even a word) anyway with parties, I should have been but in truth I was careful, I eat but didnt over indugled myself,
So Ive been suck at 138-136.8kg that mark until today when every Monday is my weight in day.
Bingo!!! Beat it!! 135kg dead on!! Chuffed to bits, thou yet again confused I lost 3kg this week compared to last Monday when i was at 138.

The weekend just gone I knew that I did alot of exercises. Fri, Pool in afternoon, Kempo in Evening, which then I rode to their and back. Saturday; Pool, again rode there and back. Then played with my wifes son at the park for a few hours. Sunday was just rest day ;)
Maybe thats why I've lost 3kg in that week.

Monday I'm off work due to exams still going on at work. The wife is off too, so in the morning we went for a bicycle ride showed the normal route on where i go to do about 20km.
It feels like she never rode a mountain bike b4, I think im correct too, I know she has rode one of those Japanese bicycles with 3 gears. I guess 18 gears is abit different and with the gears being grip gears, could be hard getting used to.
I used to have a bike with erm on and I hate them!!
She had to stop her chain had come off the gears, fixed that and off we rode again. I told her to stop to do up her shoe laces. I place my hand on her arm to slow her down. BIG MISTAKE, she fell off her bike taking me with her lol. First time I've ever fallen off the bike. I told her I wont be touching u again lol

Too much..

This morning I went to work at Suinan Community Centre to work with Mitsuya, and kids under the age of 5 and their mothers.
In the afternoon, I went swimming with the motherinlaw, I had already gone swimming yesterday. >.<

Made dinner which was chicken drumsticks, cooked in vingear, soysauce and mirin and a little water just to simmer.

I had a crazy idea that I would ride my bike to training (Shorinji Kempo) getting there I went the back way on the quieter roads but it was pitch black. a few lights appeared where people lived.
Going there was only 7.2km. Already tired when I get to the dojo.
When training was over. I had to go back but I went a differnet way, on the main road, again, not well lighen aswell and the pathway was really narrow and occasional there wasnt a path at all. Its pretty scary on the roads....
It seemed longer to at the total of 17km I also rode all the way there and back and not stopping on any hills that i had to tackle.

I can feel my shoulders and my legs tired and Im sure they will ache tomorrow. My stomach is also hurting alittle. The bath is on and I'm just waiting for it to heat up

978!!

Lunch time I normally prepare my own lunches but today I was so busy in the morning I had no time. At 1 I went to buy lunch at the Lawson. With not many to choose from I bought one with rice, egg, mincemeat, mash potato, Tomato spaggetti and half a chicken breast. Price 498 yen, Kcals a big wooping 978kcal!!
After work I went to the shop, they restocked the shells. All of them have high calorie intake mostly over the 700 mark.

I think I will wake up early in future, or make my lunch the night before!!
Someone should invent making healthier lunch boxes for these convenience stores.

I think I will have a light dinner and go to work in the evening via walking and return to walk up the 15 flights of stairs.

17 and a half

LOL i wish, us men would all wish for that size. u know what I'm talking about....

Actually thou. I'm talking about my shirt size. My normal work shirts seems to be still in a the laundry basket. I thought i try on the smaller sizes. Hey presto!!! Fits!!!!
Pretty chuffed with meself that I can get into that.

I havent let on to no-one that I'm losing fat. No-one on facebook, just my family in Japan and the UK. I havent metioned it at work either, I want them to comment on my weight, but with the Japanese frame of mind I guess I might be waiting along time ;(
I might spill the beans when I hit the wedding weight lol. That will be sometime next year I guess.

Confused...

A weekend of madness has passed... mourned the death of our friend who died of the age of 44 last year the same weekend. Went to his home, to see his mini shrine and send our thoughts and respect to him and his family. After we drank and eat outside for a bbq and to drink his favorite drink of Japanese Rice wine.

Bloody hell it was cold, 3 of us camped outside the house that night too.

So why u ask, why are u confused?.... Im confused coz on Monday when I weighted myself I was down nearly 1.5kg from the previous Monday at 136.8kg.
Party was Saturday, Sunday was rest day....
I should be happy, just in shocked to see Im down....

Relaxing return

Travelling from Tokyo to Nagoya.. alone... on the same side to be able to see Mount fujiisan, to see the sunset, was just a perfect setting.
After a wedding that was held in Tokyo, Shibuya, friends that I meet in England, both whom are Japanese and now live in Chiba. Daisuke and Mai, even thou I been living in Japan for the last 6 years I have never meet Daisuke once, I have met Mai twice.

I should write down first the wedding and how it went, and the photos that went with it. But that journey back was something to saver. My little Mp3 player gentle humming, my fingers tapping to the beat of the music, and me chilling is something to saver for!!
