It's pity my scale has been playing out and finally got broken. So, I haven't been able to weigh myself lately.
The effect of having a motivating picture on the screen saver on my phone has been kinda working. Yes it encourages me not to miss massaging legs or exercise. Though, I did have one day that I didn't do any activity which I was supposed to. It was busy day and there are some days like this. I'm not too worried. I will catch up soon.
My apatite has been ridiculous. I suspect it is from premenstrual. There are some indications that I feel in my body and I'm so emotional. Well, I can't do much about it and everything seems too stressful enough, so I'm not too stressed about it neither.
I will get on to it when my hormonal level gets normal.
体重計が壊れて最近体重を記録できずにいる。早く直さなくちゃ。
モチベーションをあげる写真を携帯の待ちうけにした効果の程は…それなりに感じられる。疲れてベッドに入って、もうマッサージは今日はいいかなぁ。。。なんて誘惑に負けそうになっても、目覚ましセットする時携帯を手にして、ミランダちゃんのきれいな足を見て、やっぱダメダメ！ってせっせとマッサージをしたり、携帯でFBを見ようとして、エクササイズしてないことを思いだして、FB見る時間を利用して早めに済ましたり。。。そんな感じで日々役立ってくれてる気がする。
とはいえ、一日だけ全然やるべきこと出来ない日があったけど(汗)でも、そんな日もある。気にせず、結果さえ出せばいいんだから。
最近食欲は異常。生理前だなぁ、きっと。そんな兆候が出てる。それもホルモンの状態によるもので抑えようとしてもしんどくなるだけ。感情もコントロールが効かなくて、いろんな事がストレスに感じる今、焦っても仕方ない。
落ち着くまで待つことにしよう。

Day 15
Day 14 - 49.6k
I have saved a photos of Miranda Kerr on my screen saver! It stopped me from having lunch when I got hungry even though I had breakfast/brunch today which is too much intake if I did. I do hope it will keep motivating me!
ミダンダカーの全身写真を携帯のスクリーンセーバーにした~!これで携帯開くたびにキレイな足が目に焼きつく、はず!
今日は早速食べすぎ防止に成功。このおかげかな♡
この調子でモチベーションを保てますように！

Day 14
The waight at previous days
Day 11 50.1k
Day 12 49.8k
Day 13 49.6k
day 14 find out tonight
数日前から良くない傾向が。。。
始まりは金曜。カラオケ仲間の松田夫妻とカラオケ後、居酒屋という数ヶ月に一度の恒例のコース。大好きな居酒屋桜の夕食に備え、その日はコーヒーとリンゴだけとがんばった。ご主人の真一さんの希望に応えて、着物を着てお出かけ。(カラオケ向きじゃないけどね)夕食は、勢いに任せていっぱいたのんで最後に残さないように無理して食べちゃうのがパターンなので、ペースを持って頼んだし、着物のお陰もあって腹八分目。でも、やっぱりデザートの誘惑には勝てず。。。一週間に一度のデザートをを数日前倒しして、美味しいクレームブリュレを楽しみました！
しかし。。。その後、食事のコントロールが難しくなっちゃった。昨日もチョコ2列食べちゃったし、特に甘いものはまさに鬼門!今日も市場に行く前に誘惑に負けないようにランチを食べていったのに、焼きたてクロワッサンカスタードを見たら買わずに居られず、今週からまた子供達との気忙しい一週間の前に市場の開放的な雰囲気に1人しばし浸りたくなっていずに座って、よせばいいのにクロワッサンを一口…そしたら美味しすぎて…一気に完食。あーあ。で、夕食は控えめにしたものの、コーヒーのお供になんか甘いものが欲しくてクッキー食べちゃった。あーもう。。。自己嫌悪まではいかないけど、三日坊主の私はこんな感じで波がありながらやっていくのです。
運動もマッサージもそれなりに毎日順調にやっているけど、最近はそういえばミランダの写真を見てないかも。明日の月曜からはまた気合入れなおし!!今夜はミランダの写真をいっぱい見てイメトレして寝ることにしよう。
It’s been a bit of struggle
with my appetite. Actually what’s hardest is my craving for sweet. When I went
out on Friday, Karaoke and dinner at Izakaya Sakura, I could control my pace
for foods but when it came to dessert, I
thought I would have the sweet for the weekend and not having one on the
weekend. However, I have been out of control on sugar since then. Today , I
had a big piece of a custard croissant and a cookie with coffee. What’s wrong
with me!!! Well, It’s not new. I’m a person
so called in Japanese Mikka-bouzu ,which means you can discipline yourself only
three days. I tend to go off the track a
bit ., but I go back on again and achieve my goal eventually when I’m serious.
And, it is a serious one. I know it is the time to get back to business. I have
to believe I can control and beat the craving. I haven’t done enough imagining
my ideal picture. I will take a good look at pictures of my ideal body, Miranda
Kerr tonight and tomorrow morning to kick the motivation back in.

Day 10
day 6 50.1k
day 7 49.9k
day 8 no record
day 9 49.5k
It's already day 10 but there hasn't been a significant change in my weight at all. Well, I have not had a half day fasting really. Since I don't eat breakfast usually, it have to be done with skipping lunch. I have tried last week but I gave in with my hunger then had late lunch which ended up with bigger than usual despite my intention of having small potion due to my maximized hunger. I see how it failed now. I'm going to try half-day fasting again on this Saturday or Sunday. I have to succeed this one to accelerate my progress.
I have found the effective timing for massage body. It is that the body have to be warm when massage is done. I have been massaging my legs every night before go to bed after a shower and it haven't made much difference on my appearance. I used to see my legs definitely leaner and less swollen in the next morning. However, it hasn't turned out so well this time. Then, I noticed that I used to do it after having a bath, it's pretty common to have bath everyday in Japan, when my body was quite warm. However, since I now feel having a bath as a big deal in Western world, so I only have a shower. I've found my body is not warm at all to help the circulation of the fluid in my body when I massage, and even after massage I can't go to sleep easily because my feet are too cold. No wonder even though I spend more time and effort, it is not as good. Then this morning, I notice my body is warmer just after getting out from the bed, so I gave it a go to find out the effect of massage with the different body temperature. It was quite amazing. From this finding, I now need to figure out the way to warm by body up before go to bed because it's not easy to do it in the morning with domestic duties. Ideally, having a bath or half body bath but it's a bit of hassle and commitment, our bath is outside so good in summer but not in winter. Hmmm.. maybe foot bath will work? Let's try this tomorrow.

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。
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)
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.)
＊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)

<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!!
