Dilemma 

Posted on by sonokotchi

I knew my dermatologist will ask me to stop going to the pool.

I went to the pool to walk; of course, I didn’t put my face down to water throughout my exercise – uhh…walking.

I haven’t washed my swimming cap because it’s never wet.

I walked for 30 mins and I took a shower immediately after I finish my exercise.

BUT my face got red.

After seeing my face, my dermatologist told me “I should stop going to pool” and gave me extra medicines to kill bacterias.

According to him, chlorine can be contained in vapor rising from a heated pool. 

Hummmm

If I work out with machines, my knees get damaged.

If I walk at the pool, my face gets red.

Either way, I require a Doctor and treatment.

It seems I spend money to creat a trouble… hummm

I cannot do much about it so I should think of now.

It was warm yesterday; some days it might get warmer now.

I opened a LION Ban Premium Roll (nano ion block deodorant) and Biore Body wipes (the aroma will change from lime soda to peach. I cannot wait to try it!).

Now, I should get ready for Spring!

Lazy Sunday and Healthy Monday

Posted on by sonokotchi

Yesterday, I pochi (press) Amazon Prime Video.

I tried free one month trial to finish watching the Suits Season 4.

I wish Season 5 is available.

Japan is behind the schedule.

I also enjoyed Calbee’s premium potato chips that my friend gave me.

These are in small packets so Iguiltily ate   few.


I was lazy on Sunday; but, how about my Monday…?

I went to pool in the morning; then went to dentist for annual check up.

I’m glad to know that my teeth are fine.

But I have one tooth that I need to treat.

It was treated by different dentist before, but still require further treatment. Ahhh


I was lazy yesterday so I tried to be healthy today.

I had healthy snack: cooked banana and orange.

Canadian Extra Light Maple Syrup added nice flavor. 

 (It was a nice sunny day. I closed curtains to take a photo).


It is Canadian Day today because I had Canadian Smoked Salmon Sandwich for dinner.


Okay, time to do my nail and go to sleep Zzzzz

Debut at Pool♪

Posted on by sonokotchi

I debut at pool today. Horay!

I went to gym pool this morning because my physical therapist recommended me to walk in the pool for twenty mins three times a week.

I’m sorry if I disappoint you; I went to pool to walk, not to swim. hahaha

It was fun to walk in pool and I felt gooooood because I could occupy (not fully occupied to myself) quiet moment at  the pool, shower booth and powder room.

This is my new bathing suits.

I have few bikinis for beach, but not for gym.

Unfortunately, my body requires a lots of tune-up before wearing bikini to gym pool.

Yes, one day, I want to wear a sexy outfit to gym. 


This morning was a very productive Saturday morning.

After returning from gym, I went to brunch with my old friend from Kyoto.

We had Egg Benedict and coconuts pancakes at Eggcellent, Roppongi Hills.

We had so much to catch up. fufufu

Golf Balls as Healing Tools

Posted on by sonokotchi

My physical therapist told me my ankles are hard and recommended me to roll golf balls with my arch of foot.

Then I realize I should bring these golf balls to office and roll them while I’m working!

I can save time; simultaneously refresh at the office!

Don’t you think that’s a brilliant idea? 

I shall try it!

Asics Walking

Posted on by sonokotchi

Last March, while I was texting, I fell from stairs and hit my knees hard twice.

Since then sometimes my knees give me a trouble.

These are my collection of Asics Walking (shoes).

Asics Walking has a VERY SOFT CUSHION.

Furthermore, there is a machine to measure my foot to make an insole according to shape of my foot instantly.

Once I tried a pair, I cannot wear other shoes… because it has a SOFT CUSHION!

Vacuum-Packed Smoothie

Posted on by sonokotchi

I made a green smoothie last night and vacuum-packed to save it for breakfast.

It was nice and time saving for morning.


In the afternoon, a Pakistan’s traditional sweet, Laddo, was delivered. 

According to an introduction sheet, this sweet is usually distributed during joyous occasions such as weddings, anniversaries, birth, etc.

It’s made of ground chickpeas, flour, pumpkin seeds, raisons, almond, sugar and deep fried in vegetable oil.

It was my first time to try it and it was nice.

I had one.


Yes, I saw oil; therefore, decided to have a green smoothie for dinner.

Well, tonight, I went to gym; tonight’s exercise will cancel it, right?

What’s Happened to a Steak?

Posted on by sonokotchi

When I woke up this morning, I wasn’t that hungry.

I decided to have a smoothie instead of a steak.

Oh, I’m adding lemon to get more vitamins!

I think it’s a good idea to add lemon!


When I have time, I cook lunch, bring it to the office and eat it at my desk.


After arranging flower…


At the class, I had some almonds, snacks and this good luck sweets, Hachifukumochi, from Hikawa Shrine.


Since this year is predicted bad for me, I’m glad that I can have one.

Thank you my friend to share good luck with me!

I had some snacks at the class; therefore, I have no choice, but to have smoothie for dinner.


What’s happened to that steak?

I cooked it for tomorrow’s lunch. 


To be honest, I want to eat it now.

I’m hungry…

Why Not Steak for Breakfast?

Posted on by sonokotchi


I had a weird thought tonight.

I had smoothie for dinner and surely I’ll be hungry next morning.

Why not steak for breakfast?

I’m defrosting a piece of fillet steak now.

There is no harm to eat steak in the morning, right? 

I should be able to burn the calories in a day and I need to take protein as well!!

Or….am I wrong….?

I received two products which I ordered last Saturday night.

My camellia oil for hair is about to finish so I ordered Moroccan Oil.

This oil has been on beauty magazines for quite some time; must be good.


I also received a smoothie maker: TESCOM TMV 1100.


This smoothie maker is unique, it’s a vacuum smoothie maker.

There won’t be any air in a cup to oxidize the smoothie; therefore, smoothie will be FRESH and we can KEEP the smoothie fresh.

I can make it at night and enjoy it next morning. 

How nice! 

I wanted to try a smoothie tonight; but I had no energy after gym.

I will study a manual book and recipe book in a bed Zzzz
