well, this last week saw some improvements and some… well, not so improved things. like the potato chips. or the ice cream. or the cake. but i did see (and eat) a lot more fruit and veggies and i got in a lot more water, and i started doing things other than just biking, so it wasn’t all bad. and i figured this week, i’m going to make a list of what it is i want to get done, then go back at the end of the week and see how much i actually accomplished! i seem to forget that last part so the whole making goals for the week king of loses it’s effectiveness. so! without further adu, the goals.

1. don’t buy any junk food. i’m not saying i won’t eat any, but i’m not going to buy it myself. that’ll cut down most if not all of it.

2. cook at least three times this week. and at least one new recipe.

3. three servings of fruit and three servings of veggies every day.

4. 3 liters of water every day.

5.keep a food journal

6. at least thirty minutes of a different exercise every day this week. i’m hoping to get in more than just thirty, but that’s the minimum.

tonight’s my sunday night, so back to work tomorrow! this weekend was fun- not the best food-wise, but that’s all right. toru is going to leave for brasil on the 15th… i’m really going to miss him. he’s been basically my family while i’ve been here in japan… i want to cry just thinking about him not being here. but… it was bound to happen eventually. he needs to do his thing, and i need to do mine. and right now, that just means we’re not together. lol- that and the fact that we “broke up” a year ago. funny thing about that is the relationship between the two of us has probably gotten better this last year. anyway, got to spend most of thursday with him and then a little of this morning, got in a good bike ride, saw another of my friends for dinner, bought cheese (can’t find it in the grocery stores here so easily), and taught a private lesson. all in all a fun weekend. lol- not looking foward to dealing with the manager tomorrow though- they had me work hours then didn’t pay me for it, randomly cut other hours but not enough to make up for it, then they decided to close the school for two days and gave us a “paid holiday” which is comming out of the ten i get for the year… so it’s not really a paid day off, it’s more like they are choosing which days i’m taking my paid days off. not making me happy as i already had plans for those. and the woman is an idiot. fun, fun!! eh, shouldn’t be so harsh. well, hope every one has a great weekend!
