The last time I used to worry about what I ate was when I used to be this chubby, young Michael Jackson right here:

I worried about what I ate, but I never did anything to do anything about it.. haha

So my entire life I never really ate healthy… neglected the veggies, loved the galbi, loved the chocolate… The only reason I was somewhat in shape was because I played a lot of basketball… (I actually started playing basketball because koreans adults told me that it would make me taller… i was tricked… truly a young michael jackson)

Anyways… getting back to the present… I’ll let you guys know in how much I weigh…

Basically I’ve been at the 170-175 pound range for the past year and a half or so… But in my first two weeks of training, I lost 12 pounds! crazy. But the good thing is that I haven’t really lost weight after that so I’ve been at 160 for a couple of weeks now… I think it’s actually good that I lost weight because it’s gonna relieve a lot of weight off of my knees and stuff, especially because of my flat feet

For like the first two weeks of my training when a lot of people didn’t know that I was training for the marathon, people would see me and thought I was going anorexic or something… and I would tell them “…ni. I’m running a marathon…”
Ever since I started running, I started a some sort of semi-diet? It’s not really a diet, but more of a meal plan… Basically what I try to do is eat 4-5 meals every running day. Weekends I have more trouble keeping with my meal plan, but oh well. I don’t really know much about nutrition, it would be tight if someone could help me out with that. But anyways all I try to do is to eat a lot of small meals, minimize junk food, eat a lot of carbs, eat fruit, eat salad, eat nuts…

Meal 1: some sort of breakfast

bagel cereal
usually a bagel or whole grain cereal

Meal 2: some sort of lunch. usually a salad


“why can’t we just have like a saLadd?”

Meal 3: something with a lot of carbs


usually something with rice… spaghetti is crucial too…

Meal 4: Fruits dawg

some sort of fruit… coool…

Meal 5: something with protein


eggs, chicken breast, red meat.. usually eat it with more rice

so yea. that’s how I’ve been eating lately…. hopefully I’m eating healthy… if I find better things to eat I’ll mix up my eating habits I guess. let me know what you guys think though. cool.

random thoughts: Today’s 4-miles brought me up to 77.5 miles for my total miles trained. cool!

Peace Out
