How Did I start??

Hi Everyone!

Thank you for stopping by my second blog post!!!

Since my daughter started Karate. 

I wanted to start too!!!

Reason?

1 I wanted her to feel one of her root as a Japanese.

2 She had hard time about her 1st grade

and my reason is ... I just love Japanese Martial Arts!!!

Yes, I did Judo.. unfortunately there is no Judo school near by.

and I didn't have flexibility that time.

When she started Karate, I was waaaaaayyyyyyy behind of Athletic lol

so I started walking. 

I was tired and out of breath 2 miles.

I also started basic workout.

like a sit-ups, stretching.

Yes!! I got muscle aches😱

I finally started Karate from December.

I was out of breath first 10 minutes!!

I started thinking about joining gym ...

or buy treadmill.

I wanted to take my first test!!! but I might not make first physical requirement test!!

Our family friend's post popped up front of me on Facebook.

and I watched product video.

✨✋✨

That might help me!!!

so first my husband signed up for me 😁

I hoped that helped him to be healthy.

I was worried and doubtful how much I could keep up???

Can I do longer???

What am I gonna do if ......

What a heck!!! we already paid it! Let me try anyway!!!

at least it might help for my Karate, too!!

That how I started lol

I didn't decide so strongly nor kind of seriously...

It ain't cheap all!!

as a wife and also as mom, My job is trying to let family healthy and have foods.... we don't have enough money!!! 

We might not be able to afford!!!!!

those mind were going around in my head!!

Sounds familar to you, too???

You know it's scary!!! 

what if.... magic😅

but honestly, that was how I started 

thank you for visiting and reading my post😊

have a great night

Oreo said Good Night, too.

She was born 1998 and became our family 2002. She flew from Japan to US with us😎

Introduction First Blog Post!

Hi all.
My name is Emi.. I am originally from Japan and live in USA.

I have a beautiful daughter who is 8 :)
We have married 15 years next month and we first met in Japan while he was stationed in Japan.
We moved to USA due to his medical retire with our cat Oreo who is still our big BOSS girl and our lovely first daughter Hana.

Long story to short ;)
I have had deep depression and anxiety attach for years...
I had no idea what I have had.. at all.
When I realized what I had.. I couldn't go anywhere.. even I couldn't think of going outside.
My heart raced up, felt sick.. floating feeling.. and sweating.. shaking.
Only I could go outside was taking Hana for a walk..
even for a walk with her.. I was fighting with that all my roller coaster.

Then, we were going to move .. yeah.. I had to get on plane!! BY MYSELF ( well.. I was with Oreo and Hana.. but you know.. they were in cargo area lol)
But I stayed strong for them.. and made it!!

Changing better.. was when I had my daughter.
Stayed strong.. and she gave me extra power to handle!!

About a month later I had her.. I had 100+ F fever for a week..
I was staying in a hospital about 4-5 days..
Following month later.. my abscess wasn't gone.. so I got to have a procedure to remove.
That time my OB doctor figured out I have had Adenomyosis.

"OH!! THAT'S WHY I have severe cycles!!!!!!"

I still have one lol
but after the procedure.. I felt lighter.. but still in pain!!!
My OB doctor gave me depression med as well..


Step by Step.. I started feeling stronger..
I could go out.. I didn't have to feel sick each time I go out :)
I started my KARATE with my daughter!!! (Dec 2014)

Here is point...
LONG YEARS.... not taking care of myself.. cost me a lot!!
I gained weights a lot!! I got a tip of pneumonia a few years ago... since then... I was easy to out of BREATH!!!

so I had to do something.. I love Japanese Martial Arts!!! I want to catch up !!
I started to my fitness journey in March 2015. Age 43 years old!!! Woohoo!!!

I am gonna post each category so you can follow ;) or you can read my blog regularly that would be super fantastic ;)

Please feel free to leave comments.. that will be my motivation to keep up.
