Had a party with my base school last nite...kinda threw off my "healthy eating" stint..I had a few little pieces of karaage..fried chicken chunks and of course BEER...even though I don't even like it, I figured I paid so I my as well have a few drinks.

Today I had a pizza for lunch and finished that just a bit ago with a salad. I stopped by this one gym I am interested in and it has a lot of equipment that should benefit me...it doesn't have a pool though but that's okay...membership is $30 a year and then you pay like $3 each time u go or you can get 6 tickets for $15..I have to figure out what days I want to work out and go for there. I think this is a little more flexible b/c I don't have to pay when I don't go where as the other place I've been going to is $50/month regardless if I make it there or not..BUT they have a pool too so I don't know. Both have their ups and downs.

This weekend I plan to go to Kitakami to visit a friend. I hope my meals don't drastically get worse over the weekend. Pray for me! I weigh in on Sunday...we shall see how my first 10 days on WW has gone.

A New Meal

I feel good..today I had a meal that I have NEVER had before...and it was GOOOOD I can't wait to have it at lunch tomorrow! Anyway, I baked salmon, a sweet potato and asparagus. I also had brown rice. It was sooo yummy I couldn't believe it. The sweet potato really helpeed it out..I finally, with the help of my mother, found another side to make with my dinners..oooh and I had vegetable/fruit juice with it...really healthy huh? I couldn't drag myself to the gym so I took an hour walk around town...pretty neat. One thing I am learning about myself, I was just LAZY before...nothin was wrong with me b/c I am finding that I CAN do things like run on the treadmill, do the stair stepper , walk halfway across town and it not be that bad! I'm about to call my mom to share my joy...oh what a happy but hot and humid day!

Taiko

Today was a Taiko day so that was my workout..not sure how many calories I burned or not but I did work up a sweat and added about 6 new blisters to my hands. I'm getting a little better with that so that's a good thing

As far as eating today, I ate over my points..which sucks b/c I didn't eat a lot. It's hard estimating points on things that you don't know...I had a LITTLE bit of sweet and sour pork today and that was like 5 points in itself. I'm hoping that I am overestimating my points and that the weight comes off.

I feel good tho...I think I'm going to go back to the gym tomorrow...I need to!

Happy 4th of July

Too bad it don't feel like it here. Anyway, today I went to a well-known restaurant in Iwaizumi with my Kumon Japanese teachers. Had some spaghetti, pizza, salad and sherbet...it is kinda hard guesstmating how much food I ate.

I came home, eventually took a nap and then went to go see about another gym in town..but it was closed..sunday's it closes at 530pm..not very convenient!

After that, I stopped at a store and bought a digital scale so that I can track my weight, along with a food scale so I can make more accurate measurements.

Today's weight: 71.8kg (158.29lbs)...I'm just mad that I gained weight since coming here..really sucks

Anyway, off to TAEBO..since I didn't make it to A gym today! Ganbare!

Did 8 minute abs...I need to get up and do some real cardio tomorrow
