Cheat day

After finishing the broadcast and stepping into the living room, Choi Michael offered tea.

“No.” The lingering feeling is still there.

“Echo?”

“Budae jjigae.” “I think I’ll go to bed without brushing my teeth today.”

“Hehehe.”

The monk who followed them out laughed.

Choi Michael smiled like a steamed bun, and Baek Woo-jin shook his head and sat at the table.

How’s your body? “Are you feeling dizzy or anything?”

Jujiseung also sat down and asked.

When blood sugar suddenly spikes, it makes me feel dizzy, and even though it’s a cheat day, I can’t help but worry since I ate white rice and budae jjigae.

I happened to check the time and realized that it had been about 2 hours since I had eaten.

“It seems okay, but should we check?”

Jujiseung nodded.

I sat down and took out the blood glucose monitor.

When I drew blood and inserted the test strip, the number 187 was soon displayed on the monitor.

“Oh.”

The reason for checking blood sugar two hours after a meal is that it is the point when the sugar level is highest.

The doctor suggested aiming to lower the blood sugar to below 180 two hours after eating.

It’s almost accurate.

“Did you really work hard?”

Joo Ji-seung smiled slightly.

“Having low fasting blood sugar could be because I didn’t eat breakfast, but if it’s this level after eating a regular meal, it’s really not bad.”

“I think I’m pretty amazing too.”

He patted my chest gently.

It is a moment that proves the past time was not wasted.

“Now, as long as the broadcast goes well, it should be fine.”

Thanks to you, the influx has increased a lot. Now I should make it into my own content.

Jujiseung nods.

I can’t fully express my gratitude for promoting through the joint broadcast and also making me food.

“This.” Last time I came, it seemed a bit dry.

When he took out the humidifier from the bag, Joo Ji-seung made eye contact with Choi Mi-kael and then smiled awkwardly.

“Hey, how did you manage to bring this in?” No wonder the bag was too big.

“Because I’m grateful.” “Really, thank you, bro.”

The monk smiled contentedly.

The fact that he mentioned my heightened sense of taste during our first collaboration and defended me on today’s broadcast were both things that someone who has experienced the same situation could do.

“Okay.” I’ll receive it well. “Don’t bring stuff like this next time.”

Starting next Saturday, I decided to regularly do a cooking show with Jujiseung.

After finishing all the preparations for the Heart Sutra, all I have to do is make an appearance. I get to eat delicious food and raise my profile, so it’s beneficial in many ways.

“Hyung, today’s broadcast.”

Baek Woo-jin cautiously spoke to Joo Ji-seung.

Judging by his attitude, it seems that the argument with Ju Ji-seung is still bothering him.

When he’s on air, he’s incredibly brazen, but sometimes he shows this weak side.

Fortunately, Joo Ji-seung laughed heartily as usual.

“Why are we acting like this when we all know each other?” Thanks to you, the atmosphere of the broadcast was great.

When Joo Ji-seung gave him a light pat on the back, Baek Woo-jin smiled.

I accessed the YouTube channel on the way back after getting into Baek Woo-jin’s car.

The number of subscribers has increased compared to usual, but it doesn’t have as big of an impact as last time.

Among the viewers of the Heart Sutra, it seems that most of those who were interested in me have already subscribed.

Instead, the reaction to the live broadcast itself was good.

“Today’s discussion about budae jjigae was good, right?”

I asked Baek Woo-jin.

The chat window is pretty clean, isn’t it?

“Can we turn this into content?”

“In what way?”

“Food talk.”

“For example?”

“The first thing that comes to mind is naengmyeon?”

“Even now, it must have gone up quite a bit, right?”

That’s a very good point.

The fact that there are many discussions about naengmyeon means that there are many people interested in it.

At the same time, it also means that almost all the stories that were to be covered have already been mentioned.

If I just cover what others have already said, there’s no reason for people to watch my video.

In other words, when dealing with popular subjects, it’s important to add your own unique touch.

“Since we’re talking about naengmyeon, let’s think about naengmyeon.” Well, if it doesn’t work out, we’ll do something else.

“Yeah.”

“How about we go around looking for famous naengmyeon places?”

“Your mukbangs are fun.”

“But a lot of people do it.”

“Right.”

“I can’t go there often.”

I am confident that I can enjoy food more than anyone else, but since I’ve been diagnosed with diabetes, I can’t eat regular meals often.

On cheat days, I promised to collaborate with Ju Ji-seung, so the content of exploring restaurants can only be done once a week at most.

It’s difficult to make content that can be posted once a week the main focus.

“That’s true.” You shouldn’t eat too much outside food.

“How about thinking of it as posting just once a week and doing a live stream about naengmyeon before you go?”

“Then I don’t have to worry about the topic.” One day, I talk about naengmyeon, and another day, I go eat it myself. If you do a cooking show with Jiseung hyung, it must be super busy, right?

“I decided to do a workout broadcast with Ji-chan hyung.”

“Hee.” “Can you do it?”

“I will.”

It’s actually better that I’ve decided to become a full-time YouTuber.

“Even if the views don’t come in well, if we keep getting exposure on a big channel, we won’t come away empty-handed.”

Baek Woo-jin also slightly nodded his head.

“In that sense, let’s talk about food together.”

“With me?”

I think it would be comfortable with you.

“Doing it a few times is fine, but I don’t think I can commit to it regularly.”

“That’s already something.” Just help me out occasionally until I find a new editor.

So, if I keep going out, will you keep editing for me?

“That’s a bit much.”

“Why, why, why?”

Baek Woo-jin dragged out his words and threw a tantrum.

Please provide the text you would like to have translated.

I came home and organized my schedule.

On Monday and Tuesday, I handle outsourcing.

Wednesday is exercise broadcast with Cha Ji-chan.

On Thursday, we discuss food with Baek Woo-jin, and on Friday, we explore restaurants.

On Saturday, I decided to do a cooking show with Jujiseung, and on Sunday, I planned to finish the remaining tasks that couldn’t be completed on the day of the broadcast.

“…….”

Looking at the week’s schedule, I’m worried I might end up dead at this rate.

Since I am still freelancing for the Banya Sutra, Jimkun, and Ugenius channels, I have to edit and upload my video on the day of the broadcast.

If work gets delayed, we have to use Sunday, so in short, there are no days off.

Originally, they say that self-employed people don’t have days off, but I wonder if this is really okay.

“Just for a moment.”

After much deliberation, I decided to endure a little hardship for now.

Since I’m gradually reducing outsourcing, by the time the side dish store grows, I will have some free time.

Grrr-

There was a sound from the stomach.

I checked the time, and it’s already 7 PM.

I put the frozen chicken breast in the microwave, heated it up, then scooped some rice and took out the side dishes I had stored in the refrigerator.

The budae jjigae I had for lunch is lingering in my mind.

“Sigh.”

I chewed on the thoroughly chewed spinach.

The spinach that Jujiseung made is delicious, but I don’t know why the spinach I made tastes so bad.

The rice is too little, and the chicken breast tastes so hopeless that it’s hard to believe such a part exists in such a wonderful animal as a chicken.

However, focusing on low-calorie foods in my diet has been effective.

Five weeks ago, my weight was 138 kg, but as of this morning, it has dropped to 129 kg.

Although a person with severe obesity sees quick results when they go on a diet, they can find motivation thanks to the daily changes in their weight.

In fact, my blood sugar levels have dropped.

Boo-woo- boo-woo-

The phone rang.

It’s Chajichan.

-Side dish, are you coming to exercise today?

The broadcast is only on Wednesdays, but they pressure me by saying I have to exercise every day.

“I’ll go later.” I’m eating right now.

-Just because it’s cheat day today doesn’t mean you eat everything you want, right?

“No.” “How well I’m doing right now.”

-Really? Send me what you’re eating right now.

“Why?”

-If you do PT, they also manage your original diet. Stop talking and send it.

“I don’t want to.”

I didn’t want to show the shabby meal I hastily prepared, but I thought if I didn’t send it, the numbers would end up being weird again today, so I took a photo and sent it.

“I sent it.”

-Where.

After the silence, the sound of a sigh was heard.

– Hey, if you eat like this, it’s going to be a big problem. You really don’t know anything, do you?

Advertisements

You eat all the protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables, right?

– The portion is too small. Aren’t you hungry after eating this?

“I’m super hungry.”

-Okay! If you eat like this, you’ll definitely gain it all back later. What is rice? Are you playing house?

“Can I eat more?”

-If I tell you to eat more, I have no idea how much you would eat, so I can’t say that. Just eat one bowl. Usually just one with a regular bowl.

“Yeah.”

-How much is that chicken breast?

“Was it 100g?”

-Eat half more. Is cabbage kimchi?

“My mother made it with just vinegar and red pepper powder. If I don’t have this, I can’t eat.”

Thanks to the healthy napa cabbage salad my mother made, I could at least eat the unbearably dry chicken breast.

-Who said what? Anyway, if you come to the gym today, let’s study first. When are you coming?

“About an hour later?”

I checked the clock, and it’s 7:10.

“I’ll go by 8 o’clock.”

-Okay.

As soon as I hung up the call, my lips involuntarily curled up.

I don’t know the reason, but since we decided to study first, there won’t be any time for exercise today.

“Hmm hmm hmm hmm.”

Since Cha Ji-chan said I could eat more, I scooped a bit more rice and tore off another piece of chicken breast.

It’s frustrating to have to fill my stomach with these things, but it’s much better than being hungry.

I can eat a whole bowl of rice instead of just three spoonfuls, so it’s not that bad.

“I’ve eaten at least two servings.”

Today at lunch and even now, I miss the glorious past.

More than that.

“That’s strange.” Isn’t it better to eat less?

I think I heard somewhere that you shouldn’t lose weight by starving yourself, but I just reduced the amount I eat without starving, so I wonder if that’s also a problem.

I got the feeling that something was wrong from Cha Ji-chan’s reaction, but I have no idea what it could be based on my common sense.
