I am in luteal phase for sure. I want to keep eating.

Guess Imma snack on fruit, veg, and edamame. It's better than eating processed foods?

[anotherjapanmom]

Oh no they canceled my work for tomorrow so I'm in a hotel room for the typhoon with nothing to do just me and my phone. 😭

I love Japan. What do you mean I was able to see a dermatologist within 24 hours, get my antibiotic cream at the pharmacy next door right after, and only paid 1700 yen total (like $10.63 USD)? Healthcare is a major reason I want to stay here. And for the first time in a while, everyone in the process treated me the same as a Japanese person and only spoke with me in Japanese so I felt happy. I know the tourists probably like English-friendly Japan, but I am gonna forget the upper levels I'm learning unless I use it! (Word of the occasion: 膿瘍 のうよう、abscess)

Now I'm in a snazzy hotel room less than 500m from work in case I have to work tomorrow (don't wanna deal with train delays during a typhoon) and I loaded up on conbini food and drinks in case I'm stuck in here for the next 36 hours. It cost me an entire day's salary to book two days but whatever. Saves having to travel like hella in a typhoon.

Dinner tonight (yeah I'm still doing no meat as much as possible)

[anotherjapanmom]

so there's a typhoon coming tomorrow night though Wednesday night.

But tomorrow afternoon I have a dermatologist appointment because, my damn belly loose skin rubbed against my pants and I have an abscess that's starting to look like a staph infection/MRSA. It also feels weird and warm and it is weeping a little bit. Love the timing. Never had a staph infection in my life. Medically this should be why insurance should cover tummy tucks because wtf.

I keep seeing cottage cheese recipes. As much as I love it, it's hard to get here (I paid 3800 yen for 6 small containers over winter break and ate them all), so if I make anything like that, expect to see low fat unsweetened greek yogurt instead 😅 It is way more common here.

Went to my son's daycare's optional monthly meeting today. It was about 2 hours long, and I actually spoke about 5-6 times because they ask questions and pass a mic around. It was good Japanese speaking practice for me and I got to know the other parents more.

My son also rode his tricycle for the first time (it has a seatbelt and extra controls from the back so I can keep him from crashing into walls and stuff).

I am eating one of my usual weekend meals. As well as the couscous, edamame, cashew powder, and lentils, this one also has hummus (so chickpeas). Protein going hard with this bowl. Very creamy.

My steps coming to and from work my phone says are usually 10,000 steps or so, but I know I'm taking more steps than that recently, as the whole time I am pacing while lecturing or otherwise working on my feet isn't being counted. 13,000-15,000 total maybe?

Finishing my work week with a gift from a coworker and a ride on the limited express.

Hope y'all are enjoying the random songs I'm posting every few days suddenly. I'm having fun.

I had never seen the acai bowl before so I had both the smoothie and the acai bowl. The chocolate was choco coated bananas... 😮

Seems like everyone is going so hard, lots more checks and healthy grocery hauls rn. I guess it is almost summer.

I probably won't be where I wanna be weight wise for this summer, probably next summer. It's annoying still being this size, though I feel like only half of what I need to lose rn measurement wise is fat, the rest is just excess skin. It looks really bad because it stacks and folds in weird ways, but you can tell it's skin.

My husband said if I'm going to do surgery, I need to do it after the school year ends because of the long recovery period. Hoping Japan has enough oil for medical products by then, and that they'll put me on a payment plan (instead of a 5 year car payment, a 5 year elective surgery payment? It looked like if I did 10% down + 60 payments it would cost me like 30,000-50,000 yen ($190-$310 USD) per month.

Trying to get 59-65kg for sure before December because under 70kg they charge less for surgery! I should go to a few clinics probably and talk to some doctors and see who I like.

Lazy plant-based dinner for one person.

Ok so I took a bunch of fresh and frozen veg (potato, carrot, onion, corn, peas, mushroom, spinach), seasoned a bit with whatever, added two of these grains and beans pouches, and a whole block of firm tofu.

Cooked it.

Added 2 cheap pouches of instant curry base (check for cheap ones without meats listed in allergens) and added a potato croquette on top.

Because it has beans, peas, and tofu, I think this has 15-20g of protein per dinner. Not a ton, but not zero. I would guess this is 400-500 yen per dinner (like $2.50-$3.12 USD) for tons of veg.

Also only took me 15 minutes to make.

Cate Blanchett at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival

[anotherjapanmom]

Well, it happened.

I got catcalled this morning on the train platform with a flirty, "Miss, how are you?" He was with two other men.

From another foreigner in a rural area, no less. I pretended not to know English and kept walking.

I like compliments, but from the ladies and people I know, not random guys I don't know.

I know I'm starting to look like a woman again, but damn. I didn't miss this!
