In the morning, I went to gym nearby my apartment for 25 minutes bicycle exercise before going to office.
During office hour, I had to play music to keep me going to finish at 5 pm.
After office, I stopped by at sister-gym for 80 minutes magma (stone) spa.
Now my eyes will close at any minutes.
If there is an indicator for my body energy, it surely indicates EMPTY now.
Mom gave me Kitano Selection Drinking Vinegar for Adults.
This is apple vinegar with Sicilian lemon.
We can dilute this vinegar 5 times with water or soda.
It’s delicious and it supposed to help my digestion.
I’ll enjoy this drink and observe the result.
This week I failed go to gym in the morning.
I could feel my body and face swelled because I had carbohydrates and drinks these days.
Today, I felt I had to do something about it.
I went to gym for 30 mins, then took a bath, went to hair salon and physical therapy.
By the time I reached physical therapist, my swelling was better.
After all the above, I feel very sleepy.
I’m going to sleep now.
About a month ago, I consulted how to lose weight with my physical therapist.
He advised me to cycle for 20 minutes 2 – 3 times in a week.
Before exercising or starting a day/waking up, I was advised to take amino acid to recover from muscle fatigue quickly or prevent from any muscle fatigue.
I searched for the product and started taking Ajinomoto’s Amino Vital Pro which contains 3600 mg of amino acid.
I regularly take one sachet in the morning and before exercise; sometimes even in the evening because I can take as many as three sachets in a day.
It is recommended to take amino acid because our body cannot produce it; we need to obtain it from food.
After exercise, I was advised to take a lot of protein.
The quickest way to obtain protein is by drinking a protein drink.
Again, I searched for it; then start taking Meiji’s SAVAS Whey Protein 100.
This is my first protein to try and image of protein wasn’t good then.
I picked Meiji brand because Meiji is a major confectionery manufacturer in Japan and good in making chocolates.
This SAVAS Whey Protein 100 is a chocolate flavor.
When I start going to gym regularly for 20 mins bicycle ride, I became very hungry, and I mean, VERY hungry.
I was scared about my huge appetite which I couldn’t control at that time.
Well, I found out about a week later that I need to make a protein drink with three scopes of protein powder.
Since a scope is big, I thought it requires only one scope to make a protein drink.
Actually, I was making a watery protein drink then.
Now I don’t mind to replace my breakfast with a protein drink and I am fine with it.
Today, I finished my first pack of protein.
There are some days that I had a difficulty to control the appetite, but now I’m doing better.
I bought a new package: Meiji’s SAVAS Soy Protein with a yogurt flavor.
According to the package, it states “Weight Down” and “for Losing Weight”.
It also contains Garcinia, a popular weight-loss supplement.
It supposed to help me controlling my appetite and prevent from making fat – sound absolutely great!
I hope I would experience these effects.
I suffered from a bad flue at Year End.
It took me two weeks to fully recover from it.
My friend introduced and recommended this Cleverin which is manufactured by Taiko Pharmaceutical.
Chlorine dioxide is supposed to free air from bacterias and work as a deodorizer.
It sounds good to me to try it.
I opened a box, put powder in a bottle and screwed the cap.
This small bottle is good for 10 sqm room for a month.
Let’s try it!
MTC supplies beauty products such as famous Re Fa Carat (face roller massage equipment).
Today, I try Re Fa Collagen Enrich drink.
This product is rich in Collagen which contains 160,000 mg in a bottle of 480 ml.
I need to take 15 ml per day.
This product is co-developed with Fuji Film.
Fuji Film used to be a major producer of films; however, the market for film has shrunk drastically due to shifting digitization.
To diversified their business activities, Fuji Film entered in beauty industry by developing cosmetics and health supplements utilizing their technologies which was developed for films.
ASTALIFT is Fuji Film’s cosmetic series that you might see in the market.
I look forward to seeing improvement on my beauty or health by taking Re Fa Collagen Enrich Drink.
This year, I will try to lose weight to get a nice shapy body!
I’ll be happy and healthy in 2018!
Today, the day is shortest in a year.
We have a custom to take a bath with Yuzu (Yuzu Citrus) to wish for health despite its coldness outside.
I should buy a real Yuzu, but I forgot about it; instead, I took a bath with Yuzu aroma bub.
As I introduced before, this Kao’s carbonated bath tablet keeps my body warm.
After office, I went to dermatology to get medicines to control my allergy for skin.
Tonight, I finished early at dermatology; therefore, I went to gym for cycling.
Now instead of bed time story, feel like bed time TV: Rizzoli & Isles.
Taking a bath can solve problems of swelling and blood circulation.
I take bath which is 38 – 40C for 15 – 20 minutes to warm the centre of my body.
40C is low for Japanese, but I start sweating and get warm up after 20 minutes.
Taking a bath is also good for detoxing.
Water gets cold fast during winter; therefore, I reheat a couple time in 15 – 20 minutes.
There is a function to reheat a bath in Japan.
