梅シロップをつけました。

今年は青梅が高かったような・・・天候不良が影響しているのでしょうか？

Increadible! 

Two months have passed since I restarted Billy’s Boot Camp.

I didn’t think I was able to continue woking out everyday for that long.

When I started to exercise with Billy DVDs for the first time, I stopped doing it 2 weeks later.  

This time, therefore, I try to focus on not finishing the whole program in the DVD, but keeping doing it even for only 5 minutes a day.

So, when I had enough time, I did everything in the DVD and when I didn’t have much time, I just dit it for 5 to 10 minutes.

I want to keep working out as long as possible.

As I’ve gained weight since the end of the year, eating a lot and doing  no exercise at all, I decided to  restart to exercise my body using Billy’s Bootcamp.

When I restarted 4 days ago for the first time in more than a year, it was really hard to keep moving. 

Today, I felt a little bit easier to keep the pace.

年末から食べ過ぎ、運動不足がたたり、体重オーバー！

これは何とかせねば、と久しぶりにビリーを取り出してきて運動を始めました。

４日前に始めた時は、全く体が動かずつらかったのですが、今日はＤＶＤのペースについていけるようになってきました。

こういう変化を感じると、していてもやりがいがあります。

自分でも、Good job! (ビリーがＤＶＤの中で何度も口にしています）と言いながら、機嫌よく体を動かしている私を見て子供が一言、

「ママ、全然　Good job! 　じゃないやん！」

子供は正直です。。。

まあ、そんなことは気にせず、気長に続けていきます。

I went to a shoe shop named “POISSON”  to buy a new pair of shoes for my son.  

This is the first time in 2 years to visit that shop.   When I first knew about the shop was 4 years ago.  

Since  my son didn’t seem to start to walk at the age of 18 months,  after having had a consultation with a doctor at a medical check,  I was told that my son should be examined throughly at a big hospital.   Then the doctor wrote  a  referral to the Saiseikai Hospital in Suita.

At the hospital, he had his brain checked with CT.   Then a doctor suggested us to go to ”Ryoikuen” attached to the hospital where disabled people take various trainings.   

He had gone to the institute once a week for about 6 months.   In that period it was hard for me both physically and mentally.   Please read the post I wrote about that time.  

One day, during the training,  a trainer in charge introduced me the shoe shop “POISSON”.   There are only a few shoe shops in Osaka that sell good shoes for foot.  According to him, “POISSON” was one of them.

Almost all shoes in that shop are made in Italy or Germany.   When we first visited that shop, a cleak asked me several questions about my son.   30 minutes passed before choosing which shoes was best for him.

Since then I bought a few pairs of shoes there.  

Thanks to that training and shoes of  “POISSON”, he is able to run now.

I developed  hay fever for the first time a few years ago.    It really makes me feel dull.    My eyes itch and I feel sleepy all day long.  

The other day I went to the hospital to undergo laser therapy in my nose.   The doctor said to me the treatment wouldn’t give me any pain but actually it was painful.

But thanks to that, as far as my nose is concerned, it’s getting better.

I caught a cold last Monday and I’ve lost my voice since this morning.  I’d had heavy cough until last Friday and from Saturday I began feeling good so I thought I’d completely recovered. 

Yesterday, as I mentioned here before, I participated in the Jazz Chants seminar.  I listened to lectures by several teachers and I showed a lesson plan as well. 

As usual I learned a lot there.  Whenever I participate in the seminar, I can’t help admiring lecturers’ presentations.   Each time, not a few things make me notice that I need to study more, I’m too excited to sleep after the seminars. 

Last night, when I went to bed I felt something wrong in my throat.  And this morning when I woke up, I noticed I lost my voice.

I think God is telling me I should not speak a lot, I mean, should be reticent.

As I wrote here a long time ago, I’ve had a few experiences staying in the hospital.   Giving a birth is not included there.   

Once we get sick and have to stay in the hospital for a certain amount of time, like for more than a week, we feel discouraged and find it difficult to keep positive thinking. 

The last time I got hospitalized was 4 years ago.  It was the most painful experience for me. 

Having recovered, I can now take that experience for meaningful one to me.  When I was young, I took the health for granted.  But after having stayed in the hospital and encountered with several pains both physically and mentally, I know now being healthy is one of the most difficult things to keep.  

That’s why I can’t help appreciating the health right now.
