day 6

<Day 6>

For record

Day 4- 49k

Day 5- 49.8k

Day 6- 51.1k

今日で体づくりに取り組んで6日目。まあ、それなりに体重は減りつつあるかなぁと思って、今お風呂からあがっていつものごとく体重を測ってみたら…なんと51k?!?!

なんでなんで?!?!意味が分からない。決めた内容はほぼこなしてるし、食事も今までより気にして食べてるし、お散歩だって今まで以上にちゃんとやってるのに…

ま、今日は昨日に引き続きの寝違いによる首の痛みで、動かないくせにちゃんと昼も炭水化物で、夜も手作りピザでお腹がめっちゃ張ってるけど…

それにしても、スタート時の51kgに戻るって…へこむ↓。

やっぱり、今日は週末だと思って甘いものを許したからかしら?気の緩みが体重に直結してるって事？まぁ、40歳になるとメタボリズムも下がって痩せにくくなるって、まさにこういうことだね。

気を取り直して、また明日も今まで通りこなします。継続は力なり!

今日は便秘気味でもあったのでマグネシウムも取りました。気持ちの悪いお腹の張りが取れるといいなぁ。

It’s sixth day since I started the body shaping program and it has been pretty good. I was doing all menus all right except one day I missed massaging my legs and my weight has made a slow but good curve on the graph. BUT, it scored 51Kg, which is same weight as when I started, tonight. I just can’t believe it.

I have been careful what and how much I eat and exercise everyday. Yes, I had a bit of indulgence two days ago when we ate out at a farewell party and with a bit of sugary stuff, such as a jam donuts and a mini éclair and … some Coke but it doesn’t make sense..!!! I can’t get over the shock yet.

Well I guess I have to admit it is my lowered metabolism due to my age and maybe having losing muscle over the time is causing this extremely slow start and I have to carry on till I see some positive change which I believe I will see as I continue to work on my curriculum.

Persistence is power!! 

Day 3

For my record,

Day 1- 49k

Day2- 49.2k

昨日は雨でお散歩には行けず。でも他の内容はこなした。

今日も順調にいっている。

ただ、お腹いっぱいに食べないのって以外に難しい。。。

甘いものも食べたいな…と思う瞬間があって、

今までいかに意識をせずに物を食べていたかということに気付く。

意識といえば、歩くときも足の運びを意識すると今までの散歩がただ歩いていたことに気付いた。私のヒップは左右に高さ、形が違う。右の方がトップにボリュームが無いくのっぺり。

自分の歩き方を観察すると左足をメインに歩いていて、右足で踏み出し蹴り出すことが、意識してもなかなか難しい。毎日の歩き方や重心は何気無く、しっかりと体型を作っているんですよねぇ。

今日カーフの運動では思いっきりミランダカーの体をイメージしてみた。やる気の出方が違うよね～。意識的に理想の体を思い描くことで、あと一息の踏ん張りがきく。

"意識"って、何をするにも本当に大事。同じことをしても意識があると無いでは結果の出方が克明に違う。今まで頭では分かっていても出来ていなかった事を改めて実感。

ふむ。今回のメインは下半身。

40年間と言うと大袈裟だけど、物心付いたときから足首と膝肉はもったりしていて、なくならないものと思っていた。でも、週３のジム通いで、運動してふくらはぎの筋肉をつけることで私でもきゅっとした足首に出来ることがわかった。それを考えると膝肉だってとれるんでは…?!と思い早速ネットで調査開始。膝肉は岩肉と呼ばれて運動でと考えていたけどなんと、揉み解すことで膝のむくみから固くセルライト化した脂肪が無くなるとの嬉しい情報が!!マッサージ中心のこの一ヶ月間、岩肉マッサージをマスターして、まっすぐスラっと膝を手に入れま～す!!!!昨日足の写真も撮ったので、一ヶ月後に比較しよーっと！

It's day 3.

My hubby is doing his exercise, 30 min walk or ride, almost everyday which is pretty good for him. 
I'm doing pretty good,too. I didn't go for walk with my doggy due to the rain yesterday though, it's not a big deal. Actually, two things are not so easy.it is to stop eating with 80% full and not taking sweet in weekdays. I never thought I've eaten so much but I have actually because I sense the signal from my satisfy center which means I'm full already when I feel it, which means I was failed to stop eating with 80% satisfaction. humm... I think to have smaller meal on my plate and not to have second will work best for it. Sugar, sugar... sweet evil... It's also something I didn't think I have craving for but now I know I have. 
  
One of the thing I know but I haven't really been aware of the greatness is the power of consciousness. I notice my body is pretty much the production of what I do everyday. For example, the shape of my bottom is not quite symmetry, I mean my right half is flatter and less volume on the top half. When I watched carefully how I walk today when I took my dog out for a walk, which is now my regular exercise time, I realized that I walk mainly with the left legs. I mean that my left foot has stronger step and kick and my right leg is just follow along the motion. I tried but t is not easy to use the right legs as a drive because it has less power to kick the ground due to not being used so the drive naturally shifts to the left leg. Therefore, the left leg gains more chance to get toned and shaped and this happened every time I walk or run. However, now I am aware what's happening with my bum and legs. I can now make a  conscious movement to encourage my right legs to step and kick stronger which will creates better shape of the right half of my bottom.

Another one on the consciousness on visualization. I tried to imagine the body of Miranda Kerr as mine when I did calf training today and it gave me extra push to do a little but further and harder. And again, a little extra in every time creates massive difference in long time.

Well, my focus in this time is my legs. especially the excess fat on my knees. It's a new project because I always thought that I would never lose it. I have them on my knees as long as I remember. However, I remember that I had same idea on my fat ankles five years ago. Then after a year of being regular member of the local gym, I decided I was wrong because I gained slim and toned ankles with beautifully toned calves. It convinced me to discover new me with lean legs!!! Apparently, the fat around knees are the byproduct of swelling of legs due to the bad blood and lymph circulation and it is able to dissolve by intensive massage. I have learned how to do it by a tutorial video and I have been doing it for last two days. I can't wait to compare in a month time and to meet flawless lean legs! 

ダイエットぉ~~！MY body shaping project is now started!!

何年ぶりのブログ更新だろう…というくらいのご無沙汰。

やっぱり基本三日坊主の私には向かないのだ。

でも今回はダイエットの記録をつけるために戻ってきた。

やっと4年越しの願いが叶って、ようやくダイエットを決意してくれた旦那様。

今まで以上に具体的に目標も立てた。

一緒にかんばる人が居ればより励みにもなると思い、私も一緒に体を絞ることに決めた!

日本に居た4年前は週3でジムに通い、体を引き締める事に喜びを感じていた私。

今ではすっかりオージーのリラックスが板についてしまい、それほど太りこそしてないものの、体のラインが緩んでる。

気付いてはいたものの、よっしゃ！と一歩が踏み出せなかった私だったけど、

せっかくの機会なので、いっちょ張り切って昔みたいに一気に引き締めてしまおう！

私の3ヶ月（92日間）の目標と計画( My goal and the menu)

目標　8月30日までに…( Till 30th,AUG)

－47kg(-3kg)

－下半身…足(特に足首と膝上)とヒップの引き締め ( Tone my bottom, legs esp ancle and knee)

－背中引き締め ( Tone my back)

<1ヶ月目(the first month)>
＊一ヶ月目はエクササイズを最小にとどめ、変化の記録をつける( to see the effect of massage in the figure, exercise is minimum.)    

－犬の散歩30分( walk the dog for 30 min) 

－スクワット、ふくらはぎのエクササイズ(毎日) ( squat and calf exercise everyday) 

－ストレッチ&リンパマッサージ(毎日) ( streatch and lymph massage) 

－腹八分目( eat 80% full) 

－甘いものは週末のみ ( sweets only on weekend)  

－半日断食(毎週月曜日)( half day fasting on Mon)

<2.3ヶ月目( the second and last month>

－1ヶ月目の内容( same as above)＋ウエイトエクササイズ（週3回）( weight exercise 3/week) 

今回は記録をしっかりつけて、変化を見ていくことにする。

一ヶ月目はマッサージメインの変化。二ヶ月目以降はエクササイズでの変化をメインで見ていく計画。

せっかくなので目標は高く!　目指す体型はMiranda Kerr !!


It's been AGES since I got on this blog. Well, I've never kept writing my diary for more than 3 days, so it is so clear this kind of things are not mine. I know. 

However, I'm back on this blog now to keep a record of my body shaping progress. 

Well, I have come to the decision of getting on this serious body shaping, which I have sort of avoided ,to support my husband. He has gain 15kg in the last four years and not been happy with it, but he is not outdoor type, neither love of working out or exercise type,so couldn't promise the commitment to it. BUT FINALLY, he decided! I have encouraged him to get on to weight loss so many times for the 4 years. It was a momentum for me! I think he really mean it this time and I really want him to nail it. With the reason, I'm not going to be a sidelines. I'don't need to lose my weight as much as he does though, but I have wanted to get back into a toned body which I used to have before I moved to Australia where everything is pretty relaxed in every sense. I think it will be good for him to have a mate who pledge together to achieve a goal. It's going to be three month period. We are taking a big leap to the big challenges together! I have a feeling that this one is going to work...!! 

My husband's goal is to lose 7kg.  
Mine is to lose 3kg and more importantly to tone bottom half and my back. Last but not least, my ultimate ideal body is Miranda Kerr's !! 

I'm pumped! Bring it on!!
