Fat Burning Coke?!

My co-worker likes new junk stuff!
On 6/8, he bought us newly-released green tea-flavoured Coca-Cola, which is coke with catechin. We sampled it together :)

As you may know, catechin is a special component of tea leaf that have been shown to stimulate fat metabolism and help the body burn fat more efficiently!

Coca Cola (Japan) Co. spokesman Katsuya Sato said "This coke leaves a slight green tea aftertaste and is mainly targeted at health-conscious women in their 20s and 30s. We wanted to cater to people who are looking for something that tastes good but is also good for health and beauty." [The Canadian Press]

Of course, it's calorie-free!
I liked the idea, but it didn't taste like green tea at all... If I love coke, I might get it again, but I'm not a coke addict, so this might be the first time and the last time...

In late June, shiso(Japanese basil)-flavoured Pepsi will be sold against it! Yes. I will try it out, if my co-worker gets it for us! I know he will definitely! Ha-ha ;)

Gym Workout and Hula Report

I go to gym for about an hour almost every day after work since I became a member last year. Everyday, I do more than 20 minutes of aerobic exercise (mainly using step machine) and do muscle training every alternate day to get optimal results within a limited amount of time.

After 4 months, I gained muscle (gained weight) but my fat didn't burn at all, so I was kind of shocked. However, after another 4 months, I lost 2kg (4.4lbs) for sure! I gained 3kg (6.6lbs) of muscle and lost 4kg (8.8lbs) of fat, which is an ideal result. By the way, to build lean muscle tissue, I take MUSASHI K'UN (image on the left) immediately after exercise. I started to take this recently and realized it helps a lot! By the way, I don't follow a restrictive diet because I want to eat whatever I want to! Maybe this is why I am getting this result this slow... Now, I need to train my core muscles, which is my weakest part. Plus, I have lot other tasks, but I think I can do it at my own pace :)

My hula class is going to end this month. The class is held every Thursday night, but I practice once a day at home. Practice makes perfect! Now I can dance one song ;) I think I will take this class again the next term!

Yesterday, I found a pair of cute rain boots at the local shoe store. It was raining hard this morning, so I readily wore it. How amazing!!! You can walk in a puddle ;) Ha-ha!!!

Oops. The rain stopped and we have a clear sky now in the afternoon... Don't I look funny wearing rain boots?!

Never mind! See you!!!

Jessie Steele: Bib Josephine - Sweethearts Apron

On Sunday, while I was window-shopping in Ginza with my boyfriend, I found this cute apron (Jessie Steele: Bib Josephine - Sweethearts Apron) at a department store. The lady at the store said Jessie Steele aprons have been featured on Desperate Housewives. Also, Brown & Pink Polka Dot Apron was worn by a Japanese fashion model. How attractive!!! However, the price was 6300yen (almost $63), so I didn't get it on that day. When I got home, I searched online and found it was sold at 3600yen (almost $36), including shipping fee! I will definitely get it at this price!!! But not now... I'll first ask my boyfriend to get it for me. Ha-ha ;)

It is cloudy here today. The rainy season has begun X)
I think I'd better get rain boots beforehand, before the apron!
