Diet

It's the time to restart dieting. I successfully finished the diet six months ago. I lost 9kg in four months then. Since then, I've been watching my waist every time I eat and I haven't got a rebound. 

But I noticed that my waist line gradually increased. I decided to start dieting again.

French learning

I finished slipping through a French reading text twice. This book is a little bit difficult for me because it takes aim at those who are planning to have higher level tests. It really required me much patient even though I read it with a help of Japanese translation on the right side of a book.

Arabic learning book

I fotunately got an Arabic learning book lately. This book has been already out of print even though it covers a basic Arabic grammer planely as to be understandable for the beginners.
Arabic is a difficult language to learn because its grammer is totally diffrent from those of English and Japanese.

History courses on TV

I often watch TV history courses for high school students. These annual programs by NHK cover major historical incidents from the anciant era to now in Japan and other countries. This series is rather entertainment programs than educational ones for me, because it has something to do with the fact that I am a fun of history and moreover the programs offer us a detailed topics each time as the documentaries do.

Atsuhime

I watch a historical TV drama "Atsuhime" every Sunday. I am not a great fan of the "Taiga" dramas on NHK but occasionally I pick up the my favorable one almost every five years.
Atsuhime started on January this year and deals with the life of a women who married Tokugawas' 13th Shogun. This story focused on the end of the Edo period. This is the moment of historical turning points in Japaneses history and is full of famous people and episodes.

Swimming

I went weimming at the nearby public pool this afternoon. It's my weekly routine to swim around 30 minutes. While I was keen to go on a diet, it is the effective way to reduce my weight. In case of facing the unfavorable increase of my weight, I was hurry to the pool. Only a couple of excercises is enough to reduce the weight by one kilograms.
Another thing which fascinated me about swimming is that I could feel comfy in water even at the hot days. I think that swimming is one of the refreshing sports phisically and mentally at summer.

Russian learning

I went to a nearby cafe after lunch and spent an hour for Russian learning. I often go there and study foreign languages while drinking good-tasted coffee. Russian is a difficult language to learn for us. But it's a good challenge for me.
