It`s been awhile

One of my biggest flaws is my inability to continue things. I am so bad about not writing on here for a long time. I think about blogging often, but I never actually take the time to sit down and do it. I don`t know why! It`s not like it takes a long time or anything.

Anyway, quick update...
I joined Curves in October, October 6th to be exact. After 3 weeks it was already time to do measurements and I had lost a few centimeters (we`re metric in Japan) from my waist and my thighs!! I was pretty pleased with the result! Our next measurement check is between December 1-5 so I`m anxious to see how I`ve progressed. My weight isn`t changing so much yet, but they say it takes around 3 months for the muscle to build and after that happens you`ll start to see changes in weight. I can definitely tell a difference in my body though and I`m certain my centimeters will mostly all be smaller than last time!

I`m flying home in 21 days!! The last time I was home for Christmas was 2009 so I`m pretty excited! I have a new nephew who I`ve only met through FaceTime and my other sister should give birth while I`m home if not before!! Plus one of my best friends from college had a baby in August and I get to meet him while I`m in town. 

I have a ton of stuff to do before I go home so I figure the next 3 weeks will fly by! First on my agenda is the Japanese Language Proficiency Test this coming Sunday. I`m taking the highest level and am not expecting to pass. I`m already planning on retaking it in July! On that note, I should be studying now so sayonara!

This week`s goals

Goal #1 -　ｒｕｎ It`s Monday morning here and I`ve got my first run of the week done! My goal is to get out and run everyday this week M-F and maybe on Saturday too. From Saturday I`m going on a 2 night camping trip with 14 students from the English conversation school where I work. I`m hoping it will be fun, but who knows... This morning I set my alarm for 6:00 to get out and run before Koichi woke up, but that didn`t happen. I ended up getting out of bed around 7:40. I made breakfast so Koichi could eat and then I packed his lunch while snacking on the watermelon that wouldn`t fit in his lunch box. I considered not running since it was already after 8:00. but I decided to just get out there and do it and now I`m glad I did! Goal #２ -　ｅａｔ　ｈｅａｌｔｈｙ　ｍｅａｌｓ & track food About to make some breakfast now. I`m thinking I`ll make a green smoothie and have 1/4 of an avocado and some sliced tomatoes on the side, may even throw in an egg. Lunch will most likely be chicken taqu...

TGIF

I love Fridays! Thursdays are pretty long for me and I have a few tough classes and then on Friday I have a really easy day with good kids and almost the entire day free. Plus, the weekend is near! Yesterday I was lucky to finish at 4:30 in the afternoon. I had to do some shopping for our upcoming camping trip so I texted my friend Kazuko to see if I could drop by her place. She said yes and I picked up some take out curry and headed over. We had dinner and talked and I played with her kids who are so adorable. It was a nice break from the kids I get to see everyday! I needed to get away from my everyday routine so it was a good visit. Here`s what I`ve got going on today: 1) fold and put away laundry (I`m bad about folding and leaving!) 2) clean kitchen and dining room table 3) Swiffer floors because they`re gritty with volcanic ash 4) exercise at 9:00 (that will make 3 days in a row) 5) Face Time with my sister!! I love planning things to do on the weekends. So far this wee...

Headache -> Cancelled plans

I was supposed to have friends over for a 鍋 (hot-pot) party tonight. I`d invited Kazuko`s family and Miki`s family and we were all looking forward to a fun evening eating, drinking, talking and laughing. Unfortunately I have had a headache since yesterday evening so my plans were cancelled. I thought it would be better when I woke up this morning, but it wasn`t. I went to work at 9:00 for a lesson and thought some coffee would help, but it didn`t. After work I decided to suck it up and go to the gym to work out thinking the exercise would clear my head and take the pain away, but it didn`t. After I came home I discussed with Koichi that I would take some medicine and if my head was still hurting around 3:00pm that I would contact both friends and cancel the evening. Around that time I got a message from Kazuko that her son had a runny nose and that he and her husband would stay home because she didn`t want his germs to spread to Miki`s 8 month old baby. So I made the decision then to g...
