Finally back on track. The lack of sleep last week has taken a toll on my body and was too tired to do just about anything. And I was pretty much holed up in my room since Sunday evening, except for Thursday when I had to report to the office. Been getting at least 9 or 10hrs of sleep to catch up. And I’d say I’m pretty much back to normal and less tired.
Last went to the gym on Sunday and today is my first day back. Woke up late, made some protein drink with a shot of espresso, drank a bit of it with a piece of bread, and head on to the gym. And of course it’s a leg day.
Here’s what I did:
Squats:
4 20kgx2
4 21.25kgx2
5 22.5kgx2
9 no weights
Deadlift:
8 20kgx2 RDL warmup
8 30kgx2
8 31.25kgx2
6 32.5kgx2
Hip Abduction:
8 77.5kg
8 80kg
6 80kg
Leg Press:
8 56.25kgx2
8 57.5kgx2
8 58.75kgx2
When I got back home, I did a load of laundry while getting ready to go out. Didn’t have time to eat. I had a doctor’s appointment and the clinic is a bit far so I had to leave early in case of train delays.
I arrived in Mitaka Station with enough time to spare so I decided to find some cafe to eat. I checked the maps and spotted a branch of the same cafe we went to last time. On my way, I passed by a small park and noticed some lovely flowers starting to bloom. I think these are plum blossoms as it’s too early for cherry blossoms.
I was very hungry and decided I’d get the meal set with the same pancake @wittyzell had before where we were all staring at her plate 😆. I ate it all but I didn’t feel full 😆 guess I was crazy starving.
I went to see the doctor right after my meal. Picture this, I am 167.5cm tall and I weigh 69kg, my BMI is almost at 25 but I’m still within the normal range. But the doctor said I’m overweight 😆😆😭😭 Well, I wasn’t surprised as Japan standard is really different. He insisted I should lose weight to resolve my current health issues. The thing is, I’m trying to grow my lower body and I’m bulking up at the moment 😆 I am so torn. Well he did say there’s nothing to worry about as my issues are not that serious and it happens to 5 out of 10people. But still! 😆
Maybe I’ll just continue with my bulk and then do a cut right before summer. We’ll see if I can achieve a body recomp. Maybe not with my eating habit but I’ll try 😆.
So I head back home and saw some sushi rolls being sold. I remembered it’s 節分 - a kind of Japanese festival before spring. I learned about it when I watched Terrace House 😆. Bought some as they looked delish. The packaging says ehomaki and kimbap. I’m a bit confused if it’s Japanese or Korean 😆. Anyway they say you need to eat the roll whole without cutting. I mean no disrespect to Japanese culture, but I think I’ll use my gaijin pass to exempt myself from eating it that way. I cut the rolls so I can eat it well. Bought bulgogi kimbap and the other roll has 7 kinds of vegetables as fillings. It’s supposed to refer to 7 Gods or Deities. Don’t ask me which Gods as I’m not familiar too 😆
I unfortunately didn’t like it. It was tolerable and I still ate it all though, even when I already felt full halfway. Did I mention I have a bad eating habit? 😆😭
Anyway, I’ll need to at least digest the food for a bit before lying down. But I’m so sleepy, so now I’m going through some leaflets that’s been sitting on my mailbox for the past week 😆 I need more distraction after this.
But that’s all for today. See you in my next blog.
