한약 (han yak)  Diet Update

So I’m not sure if I made a post about it on here, but I started doing a 한약 diet. So the way this works is you will go to a special traditional medicine clinic, they will give you a diet plan to follow and before your meals, you are supposed to drink a packet of han yak. 

Let me tell you, this stuff tastes horrible!! My medicine is a little sweet and then super bitter. I’m hoping it will start to taste better in the long run but we will just have to wait and see. 

When I went to the doctor, I got all of my stats taken and he told me about the diet plan. I’ve since talked to other friends who are doing/ who will do it and mine is the strictest of them all. 

I was asked what my goal weight was. I started out weighing around 183 lbs or 83.3kg I think weighing around 150 lbs (68kg) to 155 lbs (70kg) would be healthy. The doctor said that a healthy weight for me would be closer to 140 lbs or 63kg.  I feel like that may be too low for me. I remember when I had previously looked up healthy weights for my body type 140 was the lowest healthy weight. 

I want to be American style healthy, not Korean style (aka super skinny). But who knows? Maybe once I get close to it, I will decide to try and lose more? 

The doctor said that if I follow this program, I could reach my goal weight within 3 months. Due to scheduling difficulties, I decided that I will switch clinics after 1 month. (The current doctor is in Seoul, while I live near Daejeon.) I’m hoping that the new clinic I switch to will not give me such a strict diet plan. 

I can already see results which is amazing! I am also making a point to make this a jump start into a healthier lifestyle! I know that with the body I have if I go back to eating unhealthy foods, I will end up gaining my weight back. So far I haven’t felt any intense cravings although it has been difficult when people purposefully try and tempt you with food you can’t eat. (rude >___>)  

After finishing the 1st month, I will update you guys on my progress if anyone wants to know! (Or I’ll just do it for myself since that's what a blog is for)

I started doing Couch to 5K

Today will be my third day of doing it! I space it out because 3 days of the week I do taekwondo and when that is done I’m too lazy to go out and run after class. But I figured trying to jog about 4 days a week isn’t bad. My dad is coming in a month and he wants to jog together so now that the temperature is cooling down I started to practice at night. I’m hoping that it’ll actually help me get better at jogging/running.

So did some numbers and

I should be able to reach my goal of 63kg by October. 

I’m not going to do hanyak diets anymore because it is expensive and it messes with my digestive system too much. It helped me get this far so I should be able to do the last bit on my own. 

i’ll be sticking to about 1500 calories a day, doing Taekwondo 3x a week, and on my off days trying to do HIIT or bike. 

I’ve lost so much so far I just want to finish this... 

October 31st is my 90 days! Let’s do this!

Hanyak Round 2

On May 27th I have another appointment with thediet clinic. Time to give another go and try and get into the 60kgs before the end of this year!

I haven’t made any progress and it’s bumming me out.

I can’t stop stress eating and then going overboard with it. I feel like I need to stock up on gum or something in order to curb the cravings. Sobs

Healthy Eating Starts Today

And ughhhhh do I feel so much better already

I’m going to stop by a larger mart later today when I visit my friend to pick up a few more things so I can cook and prep but man I feel so much better (crying emoji). 

It’s amazing how much bad food can make you feel weighed down and groggy. 

I need to lose about 3-4kg this month (6-8lbs) So that way I’m not too far off track from where I was before. 

Then I’ll start going to the diet clinic again and cracking down on the last 20ish pounds. 

I also found out there will be a 5k in April so I’m going to start preparing for that! 

Exciting times people~

More healthy groceries will be picked up tomorrow and then I can start to diet again! Exciting times~

Good morning~ I’m going to start off the morning with a workout with my dad, and then we are going to see Jumanji! 

I saw something about someone doing a junk food free February so I think I may jump on that (6 days late but oh well XD)
