What Was a Stronger Enemy Than Hunger
Good morning!
This is Korosuke.
The other day,
thinking, "I should get my body in shape to keep going,"
I decided to try a mini-fasting routine by skipping lunch.
……I tried to try.
No,
to be precise,
I didn't succeed until the end (lol).
I spent the day without eating my lunch box,
and since I was hungry by the evening,
I found some "Mackerel Chips (with almonds)" at Sugi Pharmacy,
and I thought I would just eat one bag to make it through until dinner.
However, once I got home,
that was when the real work began.
Preparing drinks and snacks for the kids,
bringing in the laundry,
feeding the cat,
(including cleaning up the poop.)
Cooking rice,
tidying up the nursery school bags,
washing water bottles and cups,
and cleaning up the room that was still messy from the morning.
In the meantime,
"Toilet!"
"We fought!"
"Look at this!"
I was called by the kids one after another.
It happens every day, but
when you think about it, it's quite a lot of exercise.
And I realized.
Rather than hunger,
fatigue and irritation
are much tougher opponents.
Before I knew it,
my hand wouldn't stop reaching for snacks.
I was almost in a no-brakes state.
I ate so much that
I don't even want to look back (lol).
Furthermore, lately,
there are many days when my wife comes home late,
so I've been making dinner too.
On this day,
I made a huge amount of the stir-fried vegetables
that turned out so delicious last time.
And,
since it turned out delicious,
I ate it heartily.
As a result,
mini-fasting for lunch.
Snacks and a large serving of rice for dinner.
My weight the next morning was...
plus-minus zero.
"I guess there was some meaning in skipping lunch?"
I decided to think about it
a little positively.
What I thought after trying this time is that
my challenge is
not hunger,
but how I eat when I'm tired.
When I get tired, I want something sweet.
This might be a long-standing habit.
So,
instead of aiming for perfection all at once,
first,
I'll reduce sugar a little.
I'll reduce rice a little.
I'll increase vegetables a little.
I think I'll try to continue from there.
Q-chan, whom I met the other day,
apparently lost 10kg.
"I took promotional photos because I lost weight," he said,
laughing as he spoke.
After all,
because it's a job where you stand in front of people,
building your body is important, isn't it?
I also,
in order to continue music for a long time,
and to continue playing energetically with my children,
I think I will gradually get my body in shape.
My recent theme is,
"First move."
And,
"1% forward."
Weight is also
not something that changes in a day,
but the accumulation of every day.
Looking forward to the scale tomorrow again,
I will continue without rushing.

In this note,
I will continue to write about
my realizations and trial and error in daily life.
Music, AI, living.
I have a feeling that everything is connected somewhere.
If you think,
"I'm somehow interested,"
please take a look at my other articles.
If you want to listen to it as sound,
I have also posted songs on YouTube.
They are mainly easy songs that can be played with 3 chords,
so I think even beginners can enjoy them.
