In our country, “ice cream” has 15% or more milk solid including 8% or more fat. 10% of the former while 3% of the latter for “ice milk”. Well then, it might be better to choose milk rather than cream when you are involved in weight control like Mei-Shun. However, there is no difference in calories of さくら=sakura, cherry blossom flavor and 桜小豆=sakura azuki, sweet red-bean added.
Oh, it still stays around Mei-Shun’s waist. Since she felt lighter there thanks to original methods, all the same number as last week on a scale was unanticipated. It might be partly because of a sudden rainfall while she was on the back of Princess Maria: water weighs more than solid. Or simply, weight loss is not always proportional to body shape-up.
So Mei-Shun saw one bag of sugar around the waist yesterday. She knows why, happy white-day gifts came from Professor K and Shin. Both of them are on the list of her favorite; 銀の鈴 or balls of sweetened white-bean paste coated with chocolate, while a special cake made only 7 per day by 玻璃絵洋菓子工房. Rice-porridge method, please help her who ordered various cups of ice cream to arrive next Friday.
With lunar February started from Saturday, we would expect the third crescent tonight. A bit too soon to celebrate Peach Festival on the same calendar, yet Mei-Shun is really happy to see Momo-chan, our garden princess prepare spring dance full of bright pink buds — her first flowers opened yesterday in stormy wind. Following fruit also makes this rider of weight-rolling-coaster content in both mouth and eyes.
Mei-Shun reviewed her eating methods, regarding sweets and alcohol especially. 1) Breakfast full of sweets would be all right after a day of good perspiration, while never the same at dinner. 2) When she has dinner accompanied by alcohol, desserts should be fruits only. Lunch therefore could be the best to include both beer and ice cream. 3) 1 tiny glass of sake is all different from 2 in normal size.

Such a sip of liquor, looking sinless, lead to eye-popping one and a half bags of sugar clinging around Mei-Shun’s waist. The biggest problem here is that she cannot make crouching running in 京鹿子娘道成寺 learned again in Bando style these days. Following advice from Master and Ms. S, she started house cleaning by hands. Then 2 bags have immediately gone in just 3 days.
Tks Ms. S, for 桜葛湯=kudzu-root tea with salted cherry flower
Mei-Shun actually experienced a roller coaster of weight in recent 2 weeks. After exaltation at her goal numbers on a scale, she burst into party eating. It is never easy to get out of, continued a few more days. One bag of sugar was then found added around her waist a week later. She refrained from alcohol and sweets, yet felt a bit tired on weekend. Just one sip of plum wine would be fine.
Shin’s souvenir from Hokkaido
Oh, what is going on? Mei-Shun poured green tea on a bowl of rice cracker, instead of a cup. She actually saw successful numbers on a scale yesterday, after dancing with Ms. Sagittarius and Princess Maria. Today therefore serves for party breakfast, lunch and dinner. Ms. Piano and 舞扇=fan for kabuki dance, sorry for missing you two. Practice will resume from tomorrow.
First heart-shape
… or so-so, Mei-Shun’s weight control these days. In 春一番=Spring First, moderate southern breeze in Tokyo between 立春 and 春分=vernal equinox which recorded the earliest this year, she enjoyed dancing with Mr. Bruno and Princess Maria. Thanks to their powerful jumping or pulling rein perhaps, she saw acceptable numbers on the scale. Now is happy time of good dessert from Hokkaido.
Oh, that was why. Mei-Shun recommended Shin to put on a sweater on shirt this freezing morning. He replied, “I would have done, if I could”. They are in such a position: weight is a top secret even between husband and wife. The former seems to gain several sugar bags during recent two years, while the latter lost the same. It is therefore an important job for her to help him.
Please wait for a while, Mr. Sweet.
