So yeah…
Uncategorized August 8th, 2009I am hoping there is some crazy thing whereby you gain a large number of weight when you travel far distances and then it magically goes away. Yes? Ugh, I thought not.
My fabulous hubby brought me a scale as per my request and that scale? NOT my friend, not my friend at all. In fact, that scale thinks I have gained about 9 pounds on this little 3 week moving extravaganza. AGHHHHH! So, starting today, right now, this very minute? I am BACK at it. I logged my food and I’m doing good so far today. I need to go for a walk or something, but it is about 3pm here and SO hot and HUMID. Seriously, like 82% humidity. It’s not natural. I’m charging my bodybugg and then in an hour or so I am just going to suck it up and get it done. Back to twice a day, schedule allowing. The hubby is leaving at 6:30 am in the morning, so I may not have time for anything in the morning. UGH. Maybe a youtube video or something?? I have to get charge of this or else my clothes won’t fit!! My jeans were so uncomfortable on the plane.
In other news, this living in Japan thing is quite interesting. I ventured to the local Starbucks today (I know, diving right into the culture here!) and I had to use a picture menu!!! I had no idea how to communicate with them! So Rosetta Stone here I come starting tonight.
Alright, I’m off to get something done. Not sure what yet, but something to take my mind off of gaining NINE POUNDS in THREE weeks!
Happy Sunday, chickies!

OMG - you moved to Japan?! How exciting!! My aunt and uncle lived in Japan for several years. He spoke fluent Japanese but she didn’t speak any. It was quiet an adjustment for her as a stay at home mom with a small child, trying to do the grocery shopping and laundry and everything. But they both loved it. What a great adventure you are on!!
And I once got a new scale that set my weightloss back 10 pounds. Devastating!! And wholey unfair!

I have just discovered that my fancy schmancy scale gives different answers depending on how I stand on it. Arrgh.
I would love to be living in a different country for a while, in fact I am planning to somehow make that happen in 2 years. Congrats! Maybe the 9 lbs have something to do with crossing the international dateline…:)
