RIP Judith dad'S

I heard from Terry last night that Judith dad's pass away Sunday morning. Ive sent him my consedences.
Callum will surely miss him alot.
Even thou I wont send my result to Terry because of his crappy weekend Ive still recorded my lost this week.


1.4kg or 3 pounds I've lost not bad at all ;)

APRIL 24TH 150.8KG (BMI 38.4) BMI 40.4


From the weather compared to yesterday much sunnier and warmer.
Only 2 classes this morning. I should be out of here my 11ish! Time to play ping pong and going swimming but that depends on MIL if she doesnt go out this afternoon by 1pm Ill be taking b y bicycle out to Morikoro park again.

The long weekend

Last week been pretty good. On Thursday I ate a curry with two Nann breads after that I felt guilty and then decide to walk the sakura circuit twice. I already walked it once in the morning. So thats 3 times I walked it just under 11km. Tbh I was knackered after that. I soaked in the bath and fell asleep.

I woke at 1.30am to find my wife sleeping in the living room. The problem was that I woke up on Friday at 5.30am for the care of my son who decided to wake up early.
At 9 I went to play table tennis with MIL and did 20 lengths in the pool before heading to work.
Sleep soon caught up with me after Shorinji Kempo, driving back I fell asleep at the wheel. I pulled over and fell asleep in the car. Woke up around 1.30am abit shocked to have slept so late and head home. Of course my wife wasnt worried. She was fast asleep with my son.

Saturday, I thought it was about time to buy a new seat for my bicycle. Im sick and tired of getting a sore butt from cycling. 6300yen it cost me has I rode down to Bike Kazu (fun bikes) He fitted it for me. I also bought a bag which he said he gave me a discount on since its last season model but its seen to be only 300yen discount, I told him I would collect it on Sunday since Ive going up to Morikoro park to try out the new cycling circuit that they built. 7900 for a messager bag seems to be tad expensive. Where I could buy other things that I really need instead.
I also bought a present for Ychan and pink leon light that u fit on your tyre valve that when it spins round makes ur wheel go pink. And since she is into pink I thought that would be an ideal present.

Thou, now im thinking of getting my money back off the bag since I really have one and probably buy something else instead like a mutlitool kit.

Morikoro park it was surprising very good. You can even rent bikes out there for 100yen, On weekends roadbikes arent allowed allowing families to ride on there safety. At the beginning of the track there is a yellow zone about 10metres long where U have to get off and walk with ur bicycle to the starting line and then ride on it again. But i think its just for safety has many young kids and parents are getting on there bikes.
At the weekdays I presume that the yellow zone ban is then free to ride all the way around and keep riding without getting off.
There is a slight hill at the start of the circuit and then u go around u hit apart while u are going down abit and then u hit a hill where if u pedal hard enough u dont really struggle with the burning sensation of the lacid acid builting up!!
At the end u hit a long hill but its not that really steep. I do like the course and tend to spend my time there burning the calories and hopefully to go around it 10 times ;). The only snag is that to get there is a major hill to climb and so far I've just go off the bicycle and walked up it >..<

Srping Vaction 2012

It was an awersome time, I kept my word of cycling but not really everyother day. Actually not that much. But while my mother and my friend Terry came over we travelled and walked alot.
Terry always suggested to me that Im bigger than him in weight and we suggested that to lose the weight both of us would scale ourselves ever week and send the results to each other. we would lose it in weight in kg but in BMI which to be fair is alright with me. I would have to need to lose 60kg while on the other hand Terry would have to only lose about 45kg to be the idea weight.
Like i said many times b4 its all to do with will power!
ive joined back up with the 52DC at mensheatlh usa forum. And pushing myself to do exercises.
Im trying to cycle more but the exercise is putting me off due to the hard saddle giving me a sore bottom!
Today Ill get home around 3pm so I might go up to Morikoro park and see the bicycle circuit there that Tim-san has been on about. Need to clock in 20kmiles which is about 12 miles ;) (which is basically going from my ex-house in Castle Bromwich to Birmingham city centre

I did that back in the hay-day so Im sure i can do it again ne!!

Mantenbo Hot springs

Getting up so early in the morning for Hot springs is pretty hard esp when your sleepy and u want to sleep more. Driving takes about 20mins to get there but once ur inside ur happy that u went. I always meet Hiroyuki there he works about 20mins from there but he has to pass there to get to his home.
Its a good Hot springs since it opens at 6am and only cost 400yen. You can stay in as long as u like. We tend to hit the sauna for 25-30mins. Thats if we get in at 6am its still only warm while it gets heated up if its after 6.30 then its only 12mins.
Recently I head for the cider bath and he heads for the electrictly bath. I have never been in that Im too much of a chicken to enter it

My cycling boom

I'm back into cycling again. I just have to get rid of the fear of riding with and getting a sore bottom. Im having troubles still with that hard saddle.
Tim, a guy that lives in Seto (from Manchester, man city fan) is now a semi pro cyclist. His bike cost of a 100man yen, I dont know how much it is in English pounds but I guess nearly 8000 pounds I think. I just think but if he wins a race he gets that much in return. Thats what I heard anyhow
I and him have been writting messages alot on facebook and offered to go out with my one a cycle ride next week. The foolish thing I said was I promise I will. So now I have to train my sorry ass and go for a ride!
I plan to head up to Kaze fun bike shop and ask him to have a look at the light or just buy a new front set also I want to buy a pump for my bike.
I plan to ride my bike in the spring vacation everyother day.

Supporting Chubu Basketball

First time this season I went to support Chubu basketball.
I heard that the first game was going to be the hardest out of the two games that they were playing.

The first team basketball clothes they wore pink >.< and had a very tall black guy from Senegal but he was really skinny.
The game went into extra time and they won by steals 5 points
They had another 2hours for a rest b4 they played the 2nd game which were a much easier team but in the first quarter they were behind 15points and never really caught up.
Lee (chinese boy) very tall, but he travelled too much causing the other team to overturn the ball. I think he has to be more cleverer in future games.

I also saw a lack of consecration when returning back to defense.

Rebounds seemed very weak

Movement to create more opportunities

Even thou we had alot of support the crowd where very quiet when losing, this is where they should be loud but I wonder does supporting from the fans really have an effect on the players?

In the evening I had a slight fever 37.4 my throat was sore, my voice was rough and my desire to eat anything was thrown out the window

Buying a home

We have been searching for the last 9 months for a new place to live, land over here is expensive alot more expensive
We saw some land which has a very old house on it. My wife and MIL decided to neg a price for it, after a week the agency got back to us and told us that the son wants to sell it to us but the mother cant make up her mind. She dont want to sell it to a gaiijin (foreigner).
Bloody stupid. Japanese so prejudice and racist esp old people hopefully she will come round otherwise we still be looking
