This morning, I didn’t even drink coffee and went straight into an intense backside bodybuilding-style workout. I pushed myself so hard with deadlifts that my heart rate went up to 181. Now that I’m writing this, I notice I’ve got some pretty bad bruises on my legs. I feel proud.

After the workout, I went to Starbucks to try the [matcha cream frappuccino recipe by the legendary Arnold Hong](https://www.instagram.com/reel/C9ggjcZMf1P/?igsh=MXE1ajNjeGx3anAwYg==) from the Korean bodybuilding scene. Normally, it’s quite pricey, but thanks to a gift card I received, it wasn’t too bad this time. I’m grateful for the treat. I believe **this drink contains maltodextrin**, but it surprisingly didn’t spike my blood sugar much. That **doesn’t mean it’s safe to drink without concern**, though. As far as I know, even Arnold Hong avoids it during his diet periods. Think carefully if you’ve worked out hard enough to justify drinking this!

For a snack, I got some fried chicken skin from KFC. Crispy fried chicken skin is always delicious! But perhaps because it has a lot of flour, my blood sugar spiked quite a bit despite not using any sauce. Still, it stayed within double digits.

At lunchtime, I had galbi (grilled short ribs) and sashimi along with about 100g of rice in Apgujeong. There was a variety of food on the table, making it a really enjoyable meal! The flavor of the galbi was especially amazing. My blood sugar rose a bit late, but it stayed at 108, and 2 hours and 15 minutes after eating, it was back within the normal range.

For dinner, I had mapo tofu with beef sirloin and some rice (about 150g) at home. Since I hadn’t consumed enough protein after my tough morning workout, I was so hungry that I ate about twice my usual amount.

And that’s how my day went! How was your day? I don’t have any external plans tomorrow, so I’ll probably have home-cooked meals. Have a great night, everyone!
