It took me forever to finally start getting back in shape. Recent Saturdays walking outside made me want to be more serious in thinking about my health. I’ve been a coward getting on the scale since I-don’t-know-when because I’m pretty sure I gain weight from munching chips and sitting down the whole day. It’s hard to say no to chips. I think I’ve become addicted to it. I know it’s not healthy but hayyy, I can’t give a valid excuse.
Anyhow I lack sleep on Thursday so I was so tired the entire Friday. But I have lots of deadlines at work so even when it’s hectic, I needed to focus and not waste any second. As usual, sitting on the chair the entire work time except when I had to take breaks in between.
Friday dawn before I slept we went to get groceries. At least I was able to walk.
Since I wasn’t able to go to the gym on Thursday, I promised myself to go on Friday. I also had reserve something in the facility so there’s no reason for me to laze around in the house. As for sleep, after work I was able to nap a few minutes so I was a bit energized from that.
Before going there, I had to get some more groceries in the drug store because we’re running out of supplies. Then, off I went to the gym.
My reservation is from 11pm and here I was, walking in the middle of the night. I’m getting used to this time already, and even if I encounter a ghost (if and only if, hopefully never!), we won’t understand each other for sure because of the language barrier. 😂 That’s why I guess I was never scared walking alone at night time.
I found a shortcut and have been using this walkway instead of walking along the road. It’s bright so it’s still fine.
In between roads, I needed to look around if there’s a car to cross to the next walkway but so far, it’s been quiet.
I also enjoyed seeing the art. This one features everyone’s favorite volcano, Mt. Fuji. Okay, maybe not everyone likes it. 😅
It’s around 10 minutes walk to the gym so I guess that counts as cardio.
At some point, I was left alone so it’s nice. I don’t have to worry about other people. It’s a small gym and not a lot of equipment. Not much but it’s enough to get started. Cheaper than most gyms in Japan too. I’ll share about the gym in another post if I won’t forget. 😅
Here’s my workout record for Friday. I have 8k steps goal everyday and I missed a thousand more.
2 sets of sit ups because I couldn’t make it til the 3rd set anymore. Others, I guess you can tell by the machine. 😂 It’s really just a small gym. There’s no dumbbells or what. Good for starters.
I just realized the sets are not displayed on the list, it only shows when you click on it. But nah, okay. 😂
Great sweat today. Hopefully tomorrow too.
Thanks for reading! See you around! じゃあ、またね！
