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!!

キューピーマヨネーズのIndication

今日は友人夫婦を招待して、自宅でランチ。

ワイン好きのお友達は美味しいワインを持ち込んで、
私のちらし手まり寿司と鶏のゆず胡椒を振る舞い、旦那さまの大ぶりのロブスターでおもてなし。
気持ちのいい午後を素敵な仲間とゆっくりと過ごすのは、本当にいいものです。

その中の会話の一部で、
食べ始めると止まらないものの話をたら、
奥さんの方が、"Japanese mayonese!"と。他のマヨネーズは自分をコントロールできるけど、キューピーマヨネーズはなんにでもかけてしまって自分でもとめられないくらいだと。
『あーわかるわかる!』と賛同していたら、
ご主人が、"食べてたらこうなるよっていう絵がちゃーんとパッケージに描いてあるじゃん"と。
あー!まあるいお腹のキューピーちゃん!!
なるほどね~!そういう警告だったんだぁ~と大爆笑。

キューピーちゃんは日本では古くから愛されてるかわいいキャラクターで
そんな見方なんてしたことなかった。
面白いなぁと思った一節でした。

楽しい日曜の午後でした❤

Gandhi, my inspiration.

Mahatoma Gandhi. He has been one of the people who I admire as a human since I had seen a this quote.
" Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever "
This has inspired me with this quote to do the best at any moment that I was given.
I also like this one.
" You should be the change that you want see in the world"
Am I being THE change?
Just to remind myself, I wanted to write them here.

The children

Often... They annoy me and disappoint me. They are loud, misbehave and out of control, don't listen and speak back to me, Disobedient and too strong-willed. But they also sometimes become so sweet, loving, caring, obedient and understanding. Little achievements in their behavior or action make my day. The kind of moments make me keep going to be good guardian because I know I'm lucky to have them in life and be in their life. I want to make most of myself for them. I think ... I love them...maybe a lot! I appreciate them in my life.

May all living thing be happy!


子供達

子供達は煩わしいし、がっかりさせる。やかましいし、お行儀悪いしどうしようもない。言う事聞かないし、言い返してくるし、反抗的だし、譲らない。これ、しょっちゅう。でも時々、すごくかわいくて愛情豊かで優しい気遣いが出来て、素直で理解があって。そんな普段の何気ない行いの中の小さな成長が私の一日を幸せなものにしてくれる。その小さな瞬間が、わたしをやる気にしてくれる。いい保護者/近くで成育を見守り、必要な時に手を差し伸べる者であろうって。立派な大人になっていく手伝いが出来る様にって。だってもう既に、この子達は私の人生の重要な一部、そして、私は彼らの人生の一部。せっかくこんな幸運をもらえてるんだもん、出来る限りの事をしたい。私、多分。。。この子達の事が大好きだなぁ。この子達がいてくれる事に、有り難う。

love cooking? Be aware of the trap behind the nice feeling.

I have cooked a lot lately. it's like I became a 'loving cooking' person which doesn't feel bad actually. It makes me feel I'm becoming a better wife and woman. However, I just realized there is a bug hidden consequence to become a chef at home. It is... Weight control. It is soooo hard to lose weight once you get them. You enjoy cooking more,you cook more. It's simple. Then there are food which is ready to be eaten always in the fridge so you never feel hungry! Own cooking also give you comfortableness to eat, like " it's safe food so it's ok to eat a lot"....x(!!! When you've got some ingredients left in the fridge, you will find new recipes. You are happy with new recipe then you will buy more ingredients to cook some more of it. It means, again, you always have left-overs and ingredients which you have to consume. What a routine! Is it happened on only me? Doing extra exercising doesn't seem working so far. I really want to keep in shape but also enjoy cooking. I'm finding it sooooo hard to break the routine as long as you enjoy it. Hopefully, as I get better with cooking, I will become more controllable my volume of food and snitching food 。・°°・(>_<)・°°・。

May all loveing thing be happy!

お料理好きの甘い罠

最近料理を良く作っている。料理好きな人になった感じは悪くない。なんだか、いい奥さん、素敵な女性になっていってるような気分。でも最近、その素敵な響きの後ろに隠れてる落とし穴が見えてきた。体重だ。一度増えたらなかなか減らない。
お料理楽しいと、また作る。そうするといつも冷蔵庫には残り物が食べれる状態で残ってる。だからお腹空くヒマが無い。
手作りの安心感もある。手作りだから健康に良いしって安心感が、必要以上に食べさせる気がする。更には、冷蔵庫に材料があればまた美味しそうなレシピを探して作る。そのお料理が気に入ったら、今度は材料を多めに買って作り置きまでしちゃう。あぁ、なんて循環!エクササイズを多めにしてるけど、効果のほどは今のところ見られない((T ^ T)明らかに、消費する以上を食べてるのね。願わくば、お料理上手になるほど、量とつまみ食いのコントロールが出来る様になりますように。

Trust - a key of human life

I believe trust is one of the key of relationship. It can only be build up gradually but be ruined easily. It is very very flagile. Friendship,relationship between man and woman and family...all type of relationship can be affected by it. And once you lose it, it is hard to get it back again. It is hurshly sad when you believe someone but he/she turn back and put the tongue out.

I have the friendship with my step children which I want to grow bigger. I'm not going to be their mother, but I want to be a good friend of them. For me, those "ship"s are about respect and trust. it's also not one way. Both side have to have them otherwise it would be so weak and wobbly. I've been trying to teach them to be trustworthy which I think a key for life since we all have to interact with other people but somehow, it is a tough job. We all are on the trial every moment to prove ourselves trustworthy, at work, home, with boy/girlfriend and friends and it never end. It would be easy if you really are trustworthy, reliable person because no need to try. But how many of us have never tried? It is build up as we try to think and act responsibly and reliably repeatedly as going through the trials. It would be the only process to be genuinely trustworthy and to win genuine "friendship".

Ahhhh.. "Teaching is learning" and this learning process also never end!! Oh, life!

May all living thing be happy!
