Yesterday was a Bad hair day

Weigh in MAY 28TH 2012 145.6KG (22.9 stone) (BMI 3.71) BMI 39.1

Very happy at the moment to see my weight going down. Ive added stone to the weigh in, so ppl from the U.K can understand it better

Monday is probably my longest day for working. I really dont want to be waking up early and going for a walk/cycle.
Thou I still wake up at 5.30 but I just relaxed and cooked my lunch. Prepared for my breakfast coz i cant eat it until Ive weighed myself in school!!

This week is 40mins classes so we finish at 3.05pm
Hopefully if Wednesday is sunny I might be able to fit a ride in. But recently its been to warm and that sun is too hot for me, I will easily get sunburnt. I need sunblock or a very big baggy long sleeved t-shirt to come me.

NEVER GET UR FRIEND TO CUT YOUR HAIR FOR YOU. THE ONLY TIME U ASK IF IS WHEN U WANT IT ALL OFF!!

Hiro came around early Saturday morning, had a shower at my house, I cooked him baked beans and poached eggs on toast.
He then cut my hair at first i thought he done a good job, but when my wife and my mother saw me on Skype they told me if was awful esp on the sides. So I took some photos and to my horror it was. It was like some one place a basin on my head and cut around it.
I asked him to cut it, since I was going to Nagoya on Sunday for a tournment (shorinji kempo)
On Sunday after kempo i left around 1ish and headed to the barbers near our home.
I took my hat off and asked if he could try to fix it and make it the side and back look natural.
he took over 40mins to do it, I also go a full shave and shampoo afterwards. Very relaxing!!!

We went then and drove to Nagoya castle so I could remember where I have to park. If I wake up at 4am on Sunday morning have a shower get there for 5am Im sure to get a space on the side of the road. On the way back home i became so sleepy. i dropped off Hiro headed home. Washed some clothes and fell asleep for 2hrs woke up.
Needed to use the toliet to have a poo became very hot and sweaty, the sweat was coming out in bucket falls I could feel I was going dizzy. I finished the toilet and then just layed down for a while still feeling dizzy. I got back on the loo faning myself and telling myself not to faint!
After a while I felt abit better. I phoned our mom on skype and told her what happened she said its either u had high blood pressure or low blood pressure. I thought it could have been the sashimi I eat that breakfast then followed with cooked salmon maybe the combintion isnt good. Or the fact I was very tired.
I havent told Chiho its pointless for her to get more worried when she in Canada.

Sunny day

Im so happy got my day off that day coz of sports day at work. I decide to go cycling!! at Morikoro park. The weather was sunny with a cool breeze out. I know either before I get there its like 5km and one massive hill to climb ( at the moment Im still walking up it)

Got to the top of that hill, rode abit then I have to get off the bike then to walk down to the cycling circuit, cant ride ur bike in the park >.,< stupid rule I know.

Started off doing one lap after near the end for some silly reason I got off and started walking and its not even a hard part of the circuit. DO u believe it only Tim the semi pro, rode pass me lol he shouted get ur ass moving. Which then motivated me to get my ass moving.

The 2nd lap I asked if i could leave my bag with the people taht work at the cycle rental shop. They said there were free lockers that I can leave my bad in. Oh thats awersome, my ride now will be bit easier without by bag. Even more super happy!!

On the 3rd way around he came up and spoke to me for a while we rode together we talked about the clipless pedals and he then tubro boost off again.

I did my 4th could feel it burning now, much hard to push meself.
I eat my banana and then bought some more water and he came over. He asked if I was going to the party tonight, but I said no I have to prepare for Sunday tournment for Shorinji Kempo.

On the way home wasnt so bad, took a shower and then went to Kappa sushi where the sushi is only 100yen ;) Ate alot of sushi tuna!! Need the protein, eat like 12 plates

For dinner i just eat small

That Monday 21st

After coming back from work around 7.30pm i didnt have the motivation to go for a walk. I made dinner watched some TV and went to bed very early. The plan was to wake up at 5am and go for the cycle but that then happened the weather is abit dodgy.
TBH I think Ive just got abit of lack of motivation after not losing so much weight this week. I know it happens but its such a downer. I really need to get back into things.
Today is meant to finish on the 4th period at the moment its overcast but could turn into rain anytime. They will prepare for sports day and Weds is meant to be off. I know Weds is sunny but it all depends on today. I think i will be having 5th and 6th period just depends on the bosses mind ne.

If we finish early then I can head back home go for a cycle and then a swim and then ready for kempo in the evening.
Then Weds i can just go for a cycle ;) but really depends on what happens at lunch time ;)

Gutted

My weigh in this week: 147.2kg (BMI 37.5) BMI 39.5

I cant believe it, Ive lost 0.2kg that week what a waste the only think i could think of is I eat too much beef and eat many curry for lunch and dinner on Sunday.
Really piss me off I hate it coz I feel I have wasted a week, I really thought I would have lost some. Ive been swimming twice, Ive walked over 18 miles and cycled yesterday around 18miles too. Just have to work hard and not eat curry this week and certainly no beers!


Last week just gone I could have gone to 3 parties but I attended only 1, thats one was at my house with Hiro. My other two friends had prior arrangements.
Still it was a nice relaxing night, we ate beef, I made a curry, rice, we had tomatoes, lettuce, and sliced onions, I drank beer while Hiro drank Japanese rice wine.
We watched a movie called 'Real Steel' but Hiro said not sci-fi I said just give it a chance, He was happy that he did . . avery nice movie, He kept saying it was like Rocky
This week I push myself and did alot of exercise due to the fact I might have to go to a party and didnt want to waste a week and not lose any weight. I know I have to treat myself once in a while but I think like keeps me on track!

Our Mom said to make mini goals and try to lose half a stone per target. So thats what Ive been doing. It seems Ive been losing about 1kg or 2.2pounds per week.

Ive added cycling again to my exercise plan, just doing mostly flat work. no major hills at the moment. I dont want to have another swollen knee. Step by step working on the cycling.
I prepare to be riding early in the morning so no-ones seens my builders bum :)
It's nice & cool too at that time.
Also Ive been thinking to add walking up my stairs at the mansion that i live in (thats 15th flight of stairs). Just start off small and just do it one time and every week or so add another set. Lets see how it goes first.

Ill try it today (Monday) after my walk but today is the longest day I have 6 classes Ill finish at 4.15pm then I go to do private lessons from 5.30 to 7pm. Come home have some dinner and then go for a walk. I might be tired, I might not be but Ill try and find some enegry to do so!!

Ive also started to write down on what I eat. I dont take the calories some packages in Japan dont have the nutrients written on them and i cant be arsed to go on the net and try to find them.

Posting a day early

 My weight in this week: 147.4 (BMI 37.5) BMI 39.5

I thought it was pointless weighing on the Wednesday when really the start of the week is a Monday.
So I ll be weighing in on Monday will be the best time.
Im still weighing in at work. My scales still dont work coz im still too heavy.
I've actually had to work hard in trying this week the week upcoming. I have a party to go to.

Mostly last week I have been walking to do exercise the wind is alittle strong and when I go out on the bike its can be extremely hard to pedal against it.
TImKUN did say thou, that the circuit is designed to cut the wind out and so u wont get much wind up at Morikoro cycling circuit.

Tbh still abit worried about my knee. Ive added swimming into my plan, been trying to swim more than 1km either doing breast stroke or front stroke.  I think doing front stroke burns more but sometimes I go and do breast stroke just to have a little breather.  Im just swimming in the 25m pool but tend to hit the 50m pool in a month or two. Step by step ne
Im normally go for free with MIL but since she is in Canada i bought 11 tickets for the price of 10 for 8000yen.


Next week, I have two parties that I meant to be attending at work, 1) Welcome party for all English teachers and 2) welcome party for all part time teachers. 2 parties in 1 week ouch. Thats going to ruin my healthy eating. Ive decided to go only to the party for all English teachers.
Drink has much has u can within the 2hrs u have.  Ill definetly be watching my way.
Our friend Bob said his trick is to drink a beer then drink a pint of water and then drink  beer and another pint of water!! Ill be trying to that if i remember lol.

I actually spoke to my son, , on Saturday, it was great seeing him. Its been nearly 6 days since I saw him. It brought me alot of joy to see him. I think he remembers me, if not me but he remember me singing to him. I miss him buck loads!
I thought he had changed alittle not really in his face but in his actions he seemed to be doing alot of hand movements also he seem to holding the bread and take bite by bite.


 Some strange reason the previous entry wont let me post it before this one!!!


 My weight in this week: 148.8 (BMI 37.9) BMI 39.9

I prefer to be weighed in stones and pounds rather than in kg, it feels like I've lost more when I see more numbers.  1kg is about 2.2 pounds.  Actually I thought I was about 3 pounds LOL seems not so bad now.

My right knee been swollen since early Thursday morning. Ive taken tables to reduce the swelling and place an icepack on it and kept it high (placing a few pillows under it)
Been wanting to go out and exercise and having to wait patiently for it to feel better.



Sunday, my wife and my son, were flying out to Canada with MIL, I picked her up and took her to the coach stop.  It was abit hard to say goodbye.  I wont be seeing them for another 5 or 6 weeks now.  ;(
In evening I went for a walk for about 8km. I needed to get some strength in my legs.  I played Dance central for awhile but eventually got bored.   Stayed up to watch the football of Man city and Newcastle. Man city won it in the 2nd half thank god

Long weekend b4 Golden week hits

My weight in this week: 149.8 (BMI 38.1) BMI 40.2 Nice long weekend I just had!

Norimasu came back too. We had Lunch in our home on Sunday. The whole family came Chiho had cooked by hand Torittial wraps, bought some salsa, cooked off mincemeat with peppers, used raw onion diced, mini tomatoes, stringy cheese, avacoado. Yuki bought vegetable salad soaked with Yuzu wasabi and vingear and spare ribs flavour orangy! We had one big one and a small one! It was a very good afternoon. Also made Norimasa his facebook account so he be able to see Jun kun photos more often now.

We talked about his bicycle that he just spent 30δΈ‡ on a Trek Madone 4.7 ( the same one that Lance Armstrong uses) He choosed it because of the colour and the design and not because of the owner! He also purchased, clip shoes and clip pedals, We should go cycling together I first need to lose more weight. Cycle further! and cycle up hills! At the moment I get half way up and stop coz im out of breath, my legs are burning and Im nearly dying. Bad excuse I know but Im trying I am. When I get down to about 130kg then Ill push it, Ill be 30kg lighter too ;)


I thought I had Tuesday off today! It was meant to be a sports test for the students at school. I hit the bed at 12 .30pm but Jun had stolen my spot. I didnt want to wake him up so I slept in the living room (such a nice dad i am ne) I woke up at 4.30am to listen to the 2nd half on the Manchester Derby game Man city vs Man utd. City scored in the 1st half. 1 nil the final score to Man city. They both on same points and City are not due to goal difference! City have only to win the last 2 games and they are crowded champions but they play Newcastle (are on form at the moment and QPR are fighting relegation troubles)

Sorted out the PCRM forms, sent a scan to PCRM for the hormone blood work from the wife. Then found out that I had to work today,

Only 4 hrs sleep dayo!! Jun woke up at 6am and then I went for my normal morning walk!!
