The 1st day of walking-tour: from Nihonbashi to Totshuka

Image
The day after the closing ceremony at our high school, I left on my trip. The purpose of this trip was to walk fifty-three stations on the Tōkaidō. First, I went to Tokyo by bullet train in the early morning. The beginning of my journey. I managed to reach on time for my bullet train. pic.twitter.com/oAkr8OPDVJ — Yuki Mizutani (@yuki_mizutani) July 29, 2020 I’ll walk fifty-three stations on the Tokaido from now.

Plans for summer vacation

Image
I am going to walk Tokaido on summer vacation. It’s a journey around 500 km, and the trip will take at least 13 days. I'll do it because I want it. The matter is perfectly simple. If anything, there are five reasons to walk a long distance. Firstly, to train the mind and body in a simple way. Secondly, to make my body fat percentage below 20%. Thirdly, to feel the size of Japan on my feet. Fourthly, to know the history of the early modern times and geography. Lastly, to change my consciousness through a new experience.

Two months

I have been a little tired for the last two months with work. I am not used to this irregular lifestyle under the state of emergency. Unknowingly, it made me nervous. I will take care of my health more than ever before. But, I′m concerned about the fact that I have not improved. I have to spend the time to think about my future more and more.

What I think at night of early summer

I just realized that I'll be turning 35 in the month. I feel a little impatient about myself. To change me, the only thing that I could do is investing time in the right direction makes me grow. It may be 30 minutes to 1 hour per day on weekdays. Although my abilities are limited, there are many things I have to do. That contains staying fit, planning my vision, practicing English, the input of academic knowledge, and the output of my thought. I can’t waste time anymore.

On-going status of weight loss

‪Although I jog weekdays, I am gaining more weight.‬ ‪I ate a piece of French toast, Pho, and food of rice with hashed beef yesterday.‬ ‪I think I had too many carbohydrates.‬ ‪I want to improve little by little.‬

For the preservation of my health

After getting married, I'm gaining weight these days. To keep fit, I want to lose weight to 72.5kg and reduce body fat below 20% within this year. There are three things I decided to achieve it. First, do not eat too much. I don’t eat oily hot snacks at a convenience store. Going ramen shop is limited to once a month. Second, do moderate exercise. I go jogging 2 or more times a week. Do the workout menu or self-training of aikido twice a week. Third, get enough and good sleep. I sleep before 24 o’clock. Use StretchPole®︎ before going to bed. I think that result does not come immediately, but I'll keep on trying.
