Today, I focused on a front-side routine targeting the quadriceps, chest, and shoulders. The main exercise was the barbell pause full squat, and it took much more of a mental toll than a physical one. As expected, technique-focused exercises are mentally exhausting. I dropped the back-off set at RPE 9.

After the workout, I had a protein shake mixed with creatine and coffee. My blood sugar didn’t rise much during the workout; could it be related to that? My blood sugar went up by 11 after the protein shake.

Then, I was hungry, so I had a snack of salami sticks and iced Americano. My blood sugar rose to 110 later because I ate dumplings.

Yes, that’s right. Today's lunch was fried dumplings. I noticed them in the freezer, and I had my eye on them since last night. My blood sugar rose to 122 twice, and it didn’t drop to double digits and stabilize until three hours after eating.

For dinner, I had Australian bulgogi from Costco, along with some wrap vegetables. For the sauce, I mixed store-bought gochujang with avocado mayonnaise and stevia. I was so hungry that I ate about 300g of just the bulgogi, but I still feel hungry.

I’m not exactly hungry, though; my mouth just keeps craving something. I had a busy week with a lot of external plans, so it must have been a bit exhausting. I’ll take it easy and rest this weekend. Everyone, you’ve worked hard this week!
