I Eat Everyday

     I just checked my BGL and it was normal.       I had carbs (even though I am cutting it out) on April Fools Day. In my defense, there is a time. A time when everybody can sit down and enjoy their lunch and each others' company. April 1st was the day.       For the rest of the week, I ate clean. I had been craving veggie omelet and I had it the majority of the time. I guess, it is becoming warmer and that affects what I want to eat.       I exercised every day this week including weight lifting (simple moves with lighter dumbells). For the first couple of days, my body was sore. Now, my body feels better.       I prepped lunch components (all frozen individually). This makes packing lunch much easier because I can choose and mix in the morning.      There was excitement when I saw my Etsy shop ( if you want to visit: PracticalJapan )  had its first order. However, the b...

     I made pumpkin soup and froze some for future me.       Thursday was a super annoying day ( I am writing this as I feel it). At work, everybody wanted something (I mean kids want something all the time) it was super annoying to remedy small situations between two small children or somebody coming to me wanting something that was nowhere to be seen. On top of that, my supervisor added another fifteen minutes to my time and didn’t say anything. One, I could have checked or two, she could have mentioned. After I finished covering my time, it gave me about 30 minutes to eat my lunch and get ready for my classes which I have 3.       I forgot to weigh myself, but my BGL was normal.      I am finally getting the hang of the quick turn when I swim. Finally, I finished a yoga session without thinking about my foot (maybe I thought about it twice?). Before, I always felt a little scared thinking what if I hurt it again. N...

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...
