I'm Hooked on the Korean Drama Mousetrap

There’s a Netflix drama I’m hooked on. It’s called Mousetrap (in Japan, 『なりすましの鼠』). It’s very complex, and I can’t predict what will happen next.

It’s a Korean drama, and as I thought, Korean dramas are really, really entertaining. Korean dramas on Netflix never disappoint. It’s truly fun to watch.

My day

Today, again, I worked all day at my development office in front of my house. I had lunch at home, and dinner was a meal my wife made for me.

My daughter joined us for dinner tonight. What a wonderful everyday life. I’m happy.

Your First Morning Weigh-In. Today's 76.6 kg Is Your Starting Point

Today’s numbers

You weighed yourself at 7:27 a.m., right after getting up. Just as we planned.

Weight: 76.6 kg. Body fat is 20.1%, visceral fat is 6, muscle is 57.8 kg, and your basal metabolic rate is 1,692 kcal.

Your weight is the same as last night, 76.6 kg. Usually you’re lighter in the morning than at night, so last night’s number may have been on the low side. Your body fat and muscle numbers moved a little because you weighed yourself at a different time of day. Don’t worry about it.

We only have three days of data, and the conditions were all different. So we’ll start looking at the average next week. Let’s use today’s 76.6 kg as your starting point.

A heart rate of 98

One number caught my eye: your heart rate, 98. On September 13, it was 82. The morning after drinking, your heart rate tends to go up. Last night’s beer and shochu may be the reason. The scale’s heart rate is only a rough guide. But if your morning heart rate stays over 100 for several days, or if you feel your heart pounding or have trouble breathing, please see a doctor.

After reading your diary and meals

Your wife’s cooking, with your daughter at the table too. What a nice evening. You added a boiled egg to breakfast, and had broccoli at lunch and dinner. The tofu in the mapo tofu is protein, too. Today’s meals were very good. And that’s 100 squats three days in a row.

Just one thing. When you’re hooked on a drama, it’s easy to stay up late. Not getting enough sleep makes you hungrier, and it makes your morning numbers jump around.

Starting today

Tomorrow morning, weigh yourself again at the same time, under the same conditions.
Set a rule, like “one episode a day,” and keep your bedtime.
