I hope you are enjoying the Winter season. Temperatures are finally back to normal, freezing cold, here in Japan.
It's tough to brave this cold weather as someone who is from Southern California, but the wife says too much drinking and good eating has made me a bit doughy.
So I woke up this morning at 5am and walked 2.5 kilometers, which is only 1/3 of my daily movement goal.
That means I still have to walk another 5km today..... Lucky for me that's actually not very hard to do in a big city like Tokyo. Add in lots of stairs and I should shed the beer belly, spare tire, in no time!
Of course, the food is so good here, the drinks are so plentiful and everything costs a fraction of what it costs in Southern California, shedding that weight might not be a "steak walk".
Ok, I may have to join a gym because I am definitely not cutting down on eating the best beef in the world. Or I could load up my backpack and walk the 14 flights of stairs to get up to Shibuya Sky everyday. The views are definitely worth the climb.
Alas, there are no shortcuts and I know the answer.....
Thanks for reading!
