Strawberries
Monday, April 16th, 2007 | 30 Comments 
Despite the insane winds and rains and cold my strawberries are doing OK. I brought them in last week because of frost but put them out this weekend. All my seedlings are trying so hard to make it. :sprout: Hopefully they will. It just needs to warm up again!! :gusu:
New layout! I’m obsessed with townhouses for obvious reasons. Though I’ve always adored German townhouses for even MORE (or not) obvious reasons! :*: I realized early on that the top image is a bit large (and tall, it has a nasty ‘above the fold’ issue and you must scroll to even read text! d’oh but probably not.
) But oh well. Maybe I’ll fix it by shrinking things down later…
Diet/health news
I updated the onsen review page. I tried a pack my friend sent me [きき湯.] The kind that makes you sweat so you lose weight. 20 minutes of sweaty hot springs bath = 2 hours of working out! Or so the claim goes… It was a bit intense though! I really did sweat. Though I take insanely hot baths already. I did lose 3 pounds this past week. Mike & I have also started NOT eating after 7:00. Basically nothing after dinner. I was surprised how much I snacked after dinner without realizing!!! It was actually a challenge to break the habit! Even the first night Mike grabbed a hand full of candy while on the phone and I smacked it out of his damn hand!! He was shocked (at himself for not noticing he was eating; not at me.)

Aw, cute layout. I’m just glad the rain stayed away yesterday. I did hear it’s suppose to rain off and on throughout the week.
My resolution is 1440xwhatever so it’s not TOO big,
~ ^_________^
Oo, congrats on the 3lbs. I lost 6 (last time I checked) last month so hopefully that’s a good sign. I so know whatcha mean about snacking, you don’t even realize you’re doing it most of the time, gahhh~
Oh what a nice layout!
Yes, I snack a lot without realizing it sometimes. It’s so bad for me and always end up spoiling my dinner. I also stay up really late at night and so I always have my midnight snack…hahaha.
no don’t shrink the image :( i loveee it!!
you guys are lucky just for having candies~ i can barely remember what it tastes like :( well, its not that tragic but i miss chocolate. but keep up the new health routines!!! 
Ooooh new layout! =) I wish it would rain more where I live!!!
I snack whenever I’m bored, but sometimes I decide not to because I’m lazy. =P
Ooh, I love the new layout. I’m also horribly at snacking after dinner. Sometimes, it’s hard to notice bad habits.
the new layout rocks, love the color scheme =))
i love the way u double underline, that’s really cute ^^
when i have time in the summer i think i should learn more html/xml or whatever these young kids are doing these days.
can’t wait to see the strawberries
snacking is a hard habit to break..
CUTE LAYOUT!!~ hahah it’s so pretty~
Your strawberries will make it!!~
Are baths supposed to be very very hot? I would love to find the bath salt over here~ I’ll try looking for it over at the Korean Market near my house~
My family…we try to snack on fruits only ^___^ It’s so hard not to eat sweets!!
I’m loving the new layout Jen! It absolutely glows with happy-rainy-town-housery-glee! I stamp of approval it! :3
He
, I love reading your Onsen powder reviews! I wish wew could have full baths here in Oz, but we’re suffering from a massive drought at the mo, so stuck with 4 minute showers!
Good work with the lack-of-snacking! :3
Oh I love the new layout, looks good
Strawberries, yaay… I love them, only the season just started in Holland and they’re so fucking expensive lol
i absolutely adore your new layout…i’ve been on the “no-eating after 6″ diet for a while…on and off, and i know how you feel…good luck~
love the new layout. i didn’t notice that there was anything wrong with it ^^? i think i should adopt your thing of not eating after dinner. i think i snack a lot too, i think the main reason is eating is always a good procrastination ;p
It’s so hard breaking out of old habits! Good luck to the both of you~ that’s so cute that you’re keeping him in check! Sweating off the weight sounds like a good idea. A lot of body weight is water, anyways. It makes me want to sign up for sweat yoga oo;
Anyways, lol. Cute fucking layout! I don’t care how far down I have to scroll. I will read your blog no matter what!!
the new layout looks really neat
i love it!!!
and i’m glad to hear that your strawberries are doing fine ♥
you stop eating at 7pm?
it’s hard!
but yay for losing 3 pounds
Adorable new layout indeed!
I wish I had more space for plants, I know once I move to a bigger place I will have lots and lots of plants like how I had at home ^^
Oh man, I don’t think I could ever not eat after 7pm. I get so hungryyy, and sometimes I work until 9pm and then I just HAVE to eat something…
Gaaaa, ALWAYS love your layouts. So what if we have to scroll? It’s ADORABLE.
Sweat out weight, huh? Kind of makes sense for women seeing as how most of our weight is water weight.
Not snacking late is good, too. Hard for me with classes ending late and not getting home until 10pm. Sometimes I just have to eat late. I’ve learnt my lesson, though- no late classes next semester!
I used to have a strawberry plant. It grew one huge ripe strawberry, then a huge spider ate it :s
Yes, waitressing is beyond stressful. Only job that’s made me want to cry. Has made my coworkers actually cry. Eeep.
I came across this online magazine; I love it, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it too

I can’t help but eat after 7pm because of work but I think that’s a great idea. I also find that the later I stay up, the more I want to eat. Glad those strawberries are growing. Dip them in chocolate, it’s yummy!
Your strawberry plant is so cute!
I started doing the after 7 thing too :].
Wow, do I miss strawberries. I used to have a small straberry bush that grew in my backyard when I was little. I always enjoyed how the leaves were always a little fuzzy.
I love the new layout! So cute.
Wow! Cute layout!
But yeah, I have that same problem. I eat without noticing. Another thing, I tend to mistake thirst for hunger so I end up eating. :/ So, when you think you feel hungry even thought your stomach isn’t actually growling, you might be thirsty.
It was challenging to break the thirst-for-hunger-identity-crisis but I’m over it now. All I gotta do is stop eating through out the day just whenever and eat three small squares a day. o:
Poor Mike.
It must have been quite a shock to be snapped out of habit and then realize that he was doing it unconsciously.
waaa new layout!!! really cute!!~~
how do you do your onsen baths? do you just take a really hot bath? sadly with the restricted water here in WA (Western Australia sorry ^^”
i can’t have baths that often but now since its coming into winter there is more rain yay~ 
he
yay for losing 3 pounds!!
i’m getting fat from over snacking at night :( i should try too haha
wo my closed brackets turned into an emoticon hahaha sorry im not used to this yet
aaww.. good for your strawbeeries! anyway, the layout is really nice.. i love the colors of this… it’s just so refreshing again. so anyway, take care sis! mwah!
Happy Rain! I like the girls umbrella the most, don’t mind me, I like umbrellas a bit TOO much
Ooh I just noticed I like the ‘real time’ thing you’ve added to comments and posts too, I might use that on my blog.
I try the not eating after 7 thing too. It’s really cruel at times though because you may come home late and be like, “I’ve only got 5 mins to eat HYAKU!”…
I heard about the hot bath thing = losing weight, apparently it brings up the body’s metabolism so it’s good for obese people who can’t do intense excercise
New layout! I love it!
You like German townhouses? I didn’t know before. 
Sadly, I’m not living in one of those…. at least I don’t think so! lol~
Whoa! I already spotted some strawberries on your photo!! Awesome! However, I can’t believe that you have to bring them back into the apartment because of FROST?! come on, it’s April! Hope the weather changes soon!!
Yeah I heard about the onsen powder which makes you lose weight! It sounds fantastic!! I wanted to order some at ebay, but they were so $$$!! :( It’s funny! We’ve tried to change our eating habits, too! It’s working, so far. XP
love the new layout.
hmm….i should try that diet thing! 3lbs in a week is amazing!! know where i can buy that in PA, USA?
Cute layout! =) not eating after 7PM is a good idea - I think that’s when I eat the majority of my foods. I’m so into “healthy eating”
It would be so nice if onsen powders helped you lose actual weight instead of water weight :(
