Happy new year。Thank you for your continued support this year。Now、The annual Hakone Ekiden was held safely despite the coronavirus pandemic.、It ended with a dramatic come-from-behind victory for Komazawa University.。“Never give up until the end” stuck in my mind.、Said radio commentator Tetsuhiko Kim.。

That's certainly true。at the same time、“Unwavering heart” was a phrase I often heard until recently.、That's what I was thinking while listening to the commentary while walking.。

to achieve something、There are certainly times when such feelings are necessary.。But、That's why I don't agree 100%。That kind of single-mindedness、Single-mindedness、I think there is some kind of danger involved in any case.。And、In an environment that fosters such a feeling.、Try to stay as calm as possible and keep your distance。

i love flexible heart。different from indecisiveness。Sometimes I make a firm decision、Don't hesitate to change your mind if you think it's wrong、I love that kind of heart。However, it is not easy to have such a heart.。unintentionally、be determined、Even if I know I'm wrong、I keep trying to reason。whether it is right or wrong、Even though I know in my head that winning and losing are different things.、Admitting mistakes feels like losing.。My understanding is still limited.。This year, I want to have a “flexible mind” even just a little bit.。

In the wake of being diagnosed with metabolic syndrome、I have written many times that I started using boats and walking to migrate.。Early morning walking feels so much better、I also wrote that this was the reason why I was able to continue (I hurt my knee a little because I started so suddenly).、during self-restraint)。There are not only positive aspects but also negative aspects.、I also feel that my legs and hips have become stronger.。

However, if you think about it from the goal of ``escape from the metabolic syndrome reserve group,''、The first priority is to lose weight。Although exercise is effective for health,、Not very effective in terms of weight loss。The key is "calorie restriction"。

as a prerequisite、The first step is to know what your “ideal weight” is.。It's probably already common knowledge for many people.、Because I haven't been able to face it properly.、I felt that my basic knowledge was completely lacking.。in my case、The appropriate weight is -10kg from the current situation.。But、It's already "hopeless"。

I decided to give up on being at a “normal weight”.、Anyway - 2kg in 2 months。This seems easy to accomplish (or so I thought at first)。Based on target weight and job content (physical or administrative, etc.)、Calculate your calorie needs。in my case、As 25-30kcal per 1kg of body weight、Then I calculated the calories I had actually consumed over the past few days.、The "horrible" reality...。pull yourself together、Divide target calories into “3 meals + snacks”、Calculating the actual menu and calorie table、``Sudden menu'' takes on a ``virtual reality'' feel。I start looking for reasons why it’s okay to stay “slightly overweight”…。

From the afternoon、I looked for potential locations to see the stars.。From the Edogawa bank in Goka Town, Ibaraki Prefecture、Taken with a smartphone。There's no one else、Truly a private observation deck。Two stars appear side by side、The bigger one is Jupiter。Unfortunately, my vision in my right eye has deteriorated recently.、It is impossible to distinguish between the two with the naked eye.。I brought along two binoculars, one large and one small.、That's how I was able to confirm that there are two.。

There were clouds near the horizon and I was concerned.、As the sun approaches sunset, it becomes thinner.。Sunset time on this day is 16：31。Arrived at 16:18。Until the stars start to appear、In the dim darkness, the silhouette of the Nikko Mountain Range looks like it has been rubbed with snow.、I could see all the way to the end without cutting.。Surprisingly、You can see Mt. Nikko Shirane!。Central mountain range (Mt. Nantai can be seen all the way to the right)、The snow-covered figure is a little set back、The majestic majesty of the highest peak north of the Kanto region (2578m)。If I didn't have this opportunity, I might not have noticed it.。It wasn't on yesterday、Today we have a bonus。

2021From November 12th to 14th,、moon in the eastern sky、Venus (morning star) and Mercury will appear side by side (National Astronomical Observatory of Japan)。When a star explodes and reaches its end、On Earth, everyone enjoys something called a celestial show.。If we reduce the scale of time、Even in a world that seems so sad and dreary、If you look at it in cosmic time, there is no loss, no gain, and no weakness.。The world is in an uproar due to Corona.、If you look at it over a slightly longer time scale、I thought that I would definitely learn a good lesson.、spend another week。
