Sometimes you really crave them, don’t you? Mei-Shun does, maybe because she resembles her late father in favorite foods. He used to bring home a box of assorted donuts after job. Little Mei-Shun was so happy to choose one as a dessert next morning. Now on low-carb diet, she has to refrain from sweets as much as possible. However, when she feels herself out of control, it seems better to eat them a little, replacing other carbohydrates. Breakfast toast for example, as the best candidate for substitution.

Half Way Through
StandardMei-Shun has learned how to dance 汐汲. We use a pair of balanced pails for the first quarter of this dance while a 三段傘= triple-layered parasol for the last. These big tools are not easy to handle elegantly — Mei-Shun would rent the latter as she did for the spear last year. Now her practice at home starts.
Refreshment
StandardWhat is your favorite ice cream flavor? It is chocolate-mint for Mei-Shun. Cup, corn or bar, any type would be welcomed. She recently found a chocolate-coated bar — how gorgeous! As rice seedlings grow up, her weight started to decrease. For a success in control, she must make that great taste once-a-month joy.
Weight Management
StandardMei-Shun has gained one more sugar bag since she started walking in the morning. Sooo shocking, yet there is always a reason why her tyre around the waist grows. It is simple; she has eaten too much. And she knows well the easiest way to lose weight; she should eat less. Exercise is good for health, while never means she can consume all energy she happily took in.
A Professional
Standard… in diet Mei-Shun could be called actually. Since her junior high school days, she has repeated weight loss and gain. It never seems good for health, the more you lose and gain sugar bags all over the body as insuline spike does in blood. Her goal is to reach BMI 22 first of all, and keep it as long as possible — for her whole life, hopefully.
Fools’ Day?
StandardAnyway, Mikan-chan shows that our fiscal year has started. And Mei-Shun’s resolution to lose several sacks of sugar put all over her body is so firm. It would take a whole year; half a year to reach the goal, another half to keep it. She has succeeded in the former many times while always failed the latter. She hopes that current walking (planned to lead to running), her first experience to employ, would work.
Be Watchful
StandardThis is Queen Peach, mother of Momo-chan whose slender sister is seen on this side. The latter had passed away one year after the photo below was taken. Mei-Shun heard it from mom recently, shocked so much. We have to be like 桜守=sakura-mori, gardeners who take care of famous cherry trees while growing descendants of current breeds to keep loved beauty for long time.

StandardMom left me alone all day long today. Early in the morning, she drove dad to the nearest station before going to a park. She started walking there to keep herself healthy. Hum, that big tyre around her waist serves me a good cushion, but she looks scared of it. And hiss, she stayed only 2 hours with me! … to see her mom living far away from here.
Hope It Works
StandardMei-Shun’s left eye has 90% healed. A red spot is still above the iris, yet seems to have no problem with glasses. She looks forward to taking lessons of Japanese dance and horseback riding next week. During a whole week of stay-at-home, she made a slight effort to lose a piece of tyre around the waist.
A Big Tyre
Standard… Mei-Shun has grown around her waist. It occurs every year actually, since she has too much sweets, feasts and alcohol of great taste from the end of December to the middle of January. Now she started to reduce carbo, her favorite, in diet. It is the most feared to get weight back immediately, so good cooking to enjoy every necessary nutrient is the key.
