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!!

Phone earlier

Today plan was to go swimming with MIL after she gone with my wife and my sons'to collect his passport. I got home at 2.45 and waited for them, but they never phoned and when I phoned them at 3.20 they will still in Toyato SHOPPING!!!! FFS at least they could have phoned me I could have gone out earlier!! That Hill was a killer up to Morikoro park. There is no way around it. I can come from 3 directions and all have massive hills to climb. Im knackered before I even get to the park! I arrived at the park just after 4pm they guy said I was safe!! WTF? It closes at 5pm Im ok but it appears that u have to enter the cycling course b4 4pm and then u can ride until 5pm. If you get in after 4pm they wont let u ride! So I made it in the nick of time. It seems it takes me 20mins to go round the 5.1km It takes Tim (semi pro cyclist 10mins to go around) This dude is a Man City fan Im sure I have spoken about him before. Tomorrow, if my ass stays ok Ill try to go in the morning and try to do more that 2 laps!! Just something to get off my chest! When I have a meal esp dinner. I need something more that Miso soup and rice, I really need some protein, or some fish or chicken. Soup and rice aint going to cut it!!!

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 >..<
