Records

I keep track of my daily weight and my cycling and running. You can find them on the Records page.

💪 Mike, my AI trainer

Every morning I step on my scale (a Xiaomi S400) and show the numbers, such as my weight, body fat, and muscle mass, to an AI trainer I call Mike. Mike reads them along with my past records and writes me some advice. You can find it at the end of each day's diary entry.

Mike is an AI (Claude), not a human trainer, and the advice is not a medical diagnosis.

About this diary

This is a diary I write for myself more than for an audience. I write in Japanese, and the English versions are translated from the Japanese with help from AI.
