It is weird to restart this blog.

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 understand that it is also a mental struggle. I have to think back and peel some of the band-aids and work through those, and they will take time and process.

Doing keto in Japan

Image
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...

2024.10.8 and 9: Day 10 and 11

    These two days were rainy. I had to be extra careful because when the bottoms of the crutches get wet, they get pretty slippery. Since I cannot walk 100% on my own, it becomes scary. However, I managed to go to work using taxis when necessary.  On top of that, I became so hungry when I came home. So, on both occasions, I had cheese, almonds, and some yogurt.   I am eating in the morning and have something, if there is any, before 3 pm. Then my fast starts. Well, that didn't happen for the last two days, but it is okay. :)  Because of the weather, I want to wear closed-toed shoes. Unfortunately, my foot is still swollen and my shoes won't fit. Hoping that I can wear one in a couple of days. Fingers crossed.

2024.10.10~16: Day 12~18

     It has been a minute.     I realized after a while if I am writing pretty much identical things such as "I am walking faster than yesterday or It was a good day", it will get boring for me. So, I stopped posting anything if I felt like the days had a mundane daily routine which was my weekdays.      On Sunday (10/13), I met up with my beautiful ladies. One couldn't make it due to a fever. Nevertheless, it was refreshing to go out and have coffee and lunch. We went to  Bondi Cafe Hiroo . I had coffee. We all had green curry with two types of fries. It was nice to eat out after almost two months of limited travel areas (hospital, home, work). I would have taken a photo to share here, but my mouth was so busy talking and catching up with my friends. Well, the internet has plenty of pictures of the place and food.       On Monday (10/14), as usual, I weighed myself and BGL. Both didn't change. Also, I finished my...
