Laziness is creeping up.

Recently, I have been noticing that I am becoming a bit lazier than usual.   Don't give me wrong, I really enjoy a day here and there with absolutely nothing to do or the desire to do. That usually happens every few months.   However, lately I've noticed I don't feel like doing anything.   There are things I want to do in my head, but my body or my mood isn't moving.   Then again, yesterday, when my cousin asked if I could sew up his pants, I did in a few minutes. Then, I felt like I wanted to sew more. Maybe I need a setup or trigger to do something.   So, I tested the theory. I had some computer work. So, I set up my computer and am still working.   But to combat my laziness that is creeping up, I think I will start without imagining the commitments and time that I will be spending. Then it might work?

1kg down.

  One of my Health goals for the year is to decrease and eventually quit sugar. Pretty much everybody knows that sugar is not good for our health or we don't need to stay healthy. 

Even before starting the challenge, I gave away everything that had sugar in them. 

Last Sunday, I went for grocery shopping. That was the day I totally (to a degree) quit sugar. In the supermarket, it felt weird. It was strange not to buy any snacks that I usually buy. The whole feeling was that I wasn't following the usual rules of grocery shopping. Till now, when I went shopping, I would start by putting some veggies in my cart, some protein, and dairy, then I go to the middle aisles to put some snacks in my cart. 

Before going into the supermarket, I reminded (like two people in my head started having a conversation) myself, that I was starting a new challenge. The challenge is to decrease and eventually sugar which means to snacks. So, I purchased what I needed plus a bunch of bananas, and I left the supermarket. Also, not having my bicycle (it got stolen a day after I hurt my foot) helped because I had to carry everything on my shoulders. 

It has been a week. I weighed myself yesterday morning, and I was down 1 kg. My blood glucose level was about the same. 

For a period, maybe a month, I might buy some fruits here and there because I am craving something sweet after a meal or in the afternoon. Eventually, I want to eat fruits that have low sugar content. 


Thanks for reading until the end.

See you in the next one.

Japan has a sweaty season.

     It is mid-June, and it is starting to get hot. We are still rainy season. However, it is hot when it is sunny.      Japan has a lot to see if you are traveling. On top of that, if you like the summer season, I applaud you.       I don't like the summer season. It probably is my least favorite of the seasons. Japanese summer, I would call it, the sweaty season.       If you are like me who sweat easily, the one you sweat through the crack of your butt, you will not like Japanese summer.       So, the sweaty season of the year has started. At this moment, it is tolerable. There will be a nice breeze, like today, once in a while. I feel overall okay when going out (of course with my hat and sunscreen).        Once July starts and rolls over to August, that is when it becomes unbearable. I would sweat just sitting still. I felt that last year when I broke bones in my foot ...

Stinky Japanese

     Every day has been over 30 degrees Celsius. During this heat, it is smelly if you are riding trains like me. don't think Japanese people realize that they stink.       Imagine this: you are standing next to a guy whose arm is stretched to hold on to the rail. You get a whiff of his underarm smell, and you must stand next to him until he or you get off because the train is packed. After all, it is rush hour. OR… you finally get a seat next to a guy. That guy is talking to someone that is sitting next to him. Every time he opens his mouth, you get the smell of someone who is not in the habit of brushing his teeth. Again, you must sit next to him because the train is packed. AND…you wish you had a mask to put on.       I don’t think Japanese people realize that they stink or don’t care about personal hygiene. Sounds ironic. Japan is the land of onsens and public bathhouses.       The majority of the time, you w...

Going out is a hassle.

 Today, I had a dental appointment. Going out in this heat, I didn't want to but I had to.  As soon as I open the door and step out, the humidity and the heat hit me. I immediately start sweating, and I can feel that my cap is getting wet. I was worried about my body because my stomach was weird last night which made me vomit.  Then as soon as you step into a carriage of the train, it is cold. I felt cold. The extremes of hot and cold affect my body. It sounds weird, but I usually get cold during the summer in Japan because of this.  My dentist got a new chair, and it looked very fancy. She told me that I need a small-headed toothbrush for my molars because my Oral-B head is not small enough to reach back there. So, I got one. On the way home, I stopped by the supermarket. Purchased avocados to make a toast. It was yum.  Right now, I am sitting and finishing my last assignments of a course I am taking online, and sweating.  Oh, I restarted my fasting and di...
