I really pushed myself at the gym today, especially with my legs. Even though I've lost some weight and that affected my performance, I’m still happy with the effort I put in.

After the workout, I had 60g of protein, 5g of creatine, and 12g of glucose, but it barely nudged my blood sugar—just from 93 to 94 at its highest.

Later, I spent time with my younger sister since she doesn’t have many friends here in Korea. We had Gyukatsu for lunch. I ordered the double beef meal with a little white rice, so my blood sugar didn’t spike much. It did drop quite a bit afterward, but I didn’t really feel it.

We also indulged in some buttered bread, a lemon tart, and iced Americano. The desserts were tangy and refreshing, not too sweet.

Afterward, we visited an espresso bar where I had a Cafe Romano. It had sugar, and I also enjoyed the snack they served, which caused my blood sugar to peak twice at 100.

For dinner, we went to Seoul Forest and had spicy pork with white rice. I finished the whole bowl, and the sweet side dishes caused my blood sugar to rise from 89 to 122. White rice really is the key player in spiking my blood sugar.

My family from Australia is visiting Korea for a while, so we've been busy going around and just eating all sorts of things. I'm not thinking of it as a ruined diet; I'm just enjoying life. When I'm able to stick to a diet again, I'll just do my best then.

I’m exhausted from the leg workout and all the walking today. Time to crash.
