To keep going, first get your body in shape
Good morning.
This is Korosuke.
Today, I'd like to write about something
a little different from music.
……Having said that,
you also need physical strength to keep going.
Thinking about it that way,
maybe it's not unrelated to music after all.
Since I started making my own bento lunches recently,
my nutritional balance has improved compared to before.
Compared to when I used to get by
on just Calorie Mate for lunch,
I feel like my condition in the afternoon has improved too.
However, a new problem has arisen here.
My weight.
I started using a large 860ml bento box.
I've had more opportunities to drink alcohol.
I've been eating sweets I received as gifts,
thinking, "It's a special occasion," or
"It would be a waste not to."
With various things piling up,
my weight went from the 68kg range to the 71kg range.
Oh dear.
Moreover, once it goes up,
it has become hard to bring it back down.
Perhaps age is also a factor.
At such a time,
I saw a video on YouTube where GACKT
talks about fasting.
He has stamina and energy that you wouldn't think he's 53.
I learned that behind that,
there is a daily accumulation of effort.
Seeing that, I realized something.
I, too,
was overeating while making excuses like,
"It's the kids' leftovers," or
"It's a gift," or
"It's a special occasion."
The scale is honest.
So today,
I tried skipping lunch as an experiment.
It doesn't seem like something I can do every day,
so I'll start with once a week.
And for sugar and carbohydrates,
instead of cutting them to zero all at once,
I'll try reducing them just a little.
I decided to start such an experiment.
As expected,
I was starving by the evening.
But,
instead of sweet bread or ice cream,
I chose "Mackerel Chip Almonds."
I managed to make it through until dinner.
Whether this method suits me or not,
I don't know yet.
But,
there are things you won't know unless you try.
My theme recently has been,
"First, make a move."
And,
"Just 1% forward."
Instead of changing drastically,
I'm looking for a form I can continue.
This time, too,
is one such small experiment.
What I want to continue is music.
But,
to continue that music,
my body is also important.
So that 10 years from now,
and 20 years from now,
I can still play the guitar,
and laugh with my children.
Aiming for that kind of future,
I think I'll start one more
small step.

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

My daily life with soy milk, bananas, and child-rearing
is summarized here.
Thank you for reading
until the end.
