I Eat Everyday

     Today, I had another X-ray of my foot. Thankfully, the cast came off, so I can walk, albeit at a snail's pace. It hurts so much when I walk. The doctor instructed me to put only 1/3 of my body weight on the injured foot. Since I am using crutches, calluses (I don't know what to call them) are developing on my hands. It will be weeks before I can walk on my own.       On a positive note, I was finally able to wash and moisturize my foot today. It had been feeling incredibly dry like a dry desert.  After returning from the hospital, I asked my cousin to bring burgers for both of us.      Also, I am crocheting a blanket for my friend. She has been checking up on me and making sure I have a stock of what I need. She has a beautiful baby daughter. As a thank you, I started crocheting a bright orange baby blanket. Will upload a photo when I finish it. 

So far, I have been living in Japan for 6 years. My Japanese language level is conversational and I am doing okay if I evaluate my current situation. However, there are constant battles with my weight. I lose some and gain that back. Total yo-yoing. A month ago, I hurt my foot and cannot walk. I have been working from home (Thank you, Boss.). Thankfully, I didn't gain any weight even though I cannot move like I did before the injury.  Then, I realize I am overweight and my annual health check is coming up in about 3 weeks. Also, there are only 3 months left till the end of the year.  SO, I decided to give myself upcoming 3 weeks and 3 months to lose some weight. I am being realistic. If I put my goal weight somewhere I will be disappointed in myself because I am not reaching the goal yesterday. That being said, I will write how much I lost every week. However, I will post every day how the day went and what my struggles were.  If you are reading this, you have to understa...

So, I moved to Japan about 2 years ago for school. As a Mongolian, I love to eat, especially meat, and first I struggled with Japanese meat. Do not give me wrong because I know Japan is famous for its Wagyu and Kobe beef. HOWEVER, I prefer to eat Mongolian meat that comes from cattle that roamed the pasture and only consumed grass.  On top of that, I tried eating keto to lose some fat. I really struggled with finding ingredients that are low-carb, since Japan is a rice country. More on that later! So, in order to be accountable with myself, I created an Instagram account and started posting my food pictures, hence the photos for some inspiration.  During the last 2 years, I did keto on and off. Finally, I am starting to learn what I like to eat and how I should eat that is good for my body. Now, I tend to eat keto but I do not restrict high-carb foods like bread and rice. I live in JAPAN, the rice is very delicious!!! Hope you will join me on this blog and share your experienc...
