Lick The Lard

Today’s weight: 74.5kg

It’s the day before my brother arrives and I hoped to be at 74kg exactly today. Unfortunately, the best laid plans of mice and men often go awry, and this time is obviously no exception.

Last night I went out to an Izakaya (Japanese bar) to eat. I chose somewhere that I thought would have a good selection of healthier foods - tofu, vegetables, salads, etc - but unfortunately not only was that not true, but the healthier foods tasted pretty terrible, so we ended up having to eat less healthy pickings.

Still, 74.5kg isn’t far from my goal weight - just 0.5kg. It’s within daily variation, and I’m happy still to be close.

The next week is going to be tough, as I balance between showing my brother a good time in Tokyo, introducing him to the variety of Japanese foods, and ensuring that I don’t lose track of what I’m eating and start piling on the weight.
