My most memorable game
- Letter
- Hello, everyone,
These days . . . as I get older, I tend to put on weight! Have to start with my diet. I'm really into green smoothies.
For fruit juice, I recommend Chinese cabbage, mandarin oranges and bananas. You can substitute kiwis for the mandarin oranges.
I feel that I become calmer when I eat a lot of vegetables. Everything bad drains out of my body. But when I'm tired, I crave sweet things. When I can't sleep at night after a game, I make cookies. I can empty my mind of all thoughts when I'm kneading the cookies. I am content with the satisfaction gained from making them. After all, eating cookies in the middle of the night would be bound to make you fat.
Today I'm going to go swimming. I can empty my mind of distractions in the water, so I feel really refreshed. I'm now able to swim butterfly for 25 meters. I'm not very stylish, though . . .
