Ever since I got to Japan I have been getting increasingly more active. Almost to the point of where I get more exercise in one day here, than I would have gotten in a week or maybe two weeks in America. Japan is an ass-kicker, which is maybe why I see 70 year old people ride bikes with no problem. Japan makes you healthy! The worst thing I have ever drank or ate was a couple M&Ms a friend gave me and Coke Cola. The rest is so heathy, the food is amazing here! Back in America my diet consisted of a few packs of frys and many trips to Taco Bell, then all of the sudden when you abruptly stop that, and eat actual food for once, it shocks your stomach. The stuff here clears your system, it gave me the shits for a month (which falls under the `way too much information` of things to avoid posting on a blog!) I`m not kidding it was cleaning out stuff I probably ate back in junior high, yeah its nasty I know, bare with me here. But after that month of occasional stomach rebellion, you feel great! It clears out all the bad stuff in your system.
And the exercise, I firmly believe now, if you think you are a little bit overweight, go to Japan. It will give you an ass kick`in. I`m serious you will be in shape in no time. However I am actually almost, if not underweight, I had no fat, and sadly very little muscle on me when I came here. But after riding god-knows how many hours a day riding my bike seeing the city, and volleyball every Tuesday with my host mom you start to get fit. When I first went to volleyball, it ended with me completely drenched in sweat, but now I hardly break a sweat. Kendo is the ultimate workout, I push myself everyday to the point of exaustion, my arms are pretty much dead when I leave, and my legs feel much heavier. Not only Kendo but I am also continuing my Bujinkan training, which adds onto the whole thing. With all of that combined I am building up my endurance, so I don`t get worn out within an hour. I will continue this later, I gotta split.

Kendo!!!!!!!!!! I hate you!!! It was aboslutely my dream to go to Japan , get whipped into shape ( lose weight :p, aishh.. I really need to ) and become a total BA samurai T_T, and now never!!!!!Also the food , just shut up already will you?Though you have the exact same reaction that I would to it,except I being a culinary freak would try and find out exactly what it was. Sometimes I feel I'm losing years off of my life the way they are so unhealthy in Brasil, my diet in the USA was so good (unlike yours :p) and here I have to plead and beg for my veggies T_T.
