Week 1 Wrap Up
January 13, 2008 9:30 pm Velocity Diet Log, Weekly Wrap UpSo the first week has been really, really easy. Surprisingly easy actually. I had to get some crap protein powder as my shipment of Optimum Nutrition stuff got lost, and so the crap stuff has been tough to swallow, but hopefully I’ll be onto nice stuff tomorrow.
Wednesday and Thursday were a bit shit but that was possibly down to personal issues such as breaking my bike and losing my iPod amongst other things. When Friday came around I actually had heaps of energy and although I haven’t had much sleep this week I haven’t been the least bit tired.
I had very few cravings throughout the week and my diet was pretty much spot on. I ended up having to eat chicken at lettuce on Friday for lunch but the day was still completely within my macros. It was surprising how much my tastes had changed as lettuce with a bit of salt on it was the best thing ever. I usually dislike lettuce! I was satiated the entire week though and when the weekend came around my stomach wasn’t even rumbling after being many hours overdue for a shake! Bad boy.
My solid meal was some roo, sweet potato and greens and that was delicious. Again the highlights were the veges with a little salt on them. After reading a bit this is probably to do with my body requiring stuff that is in veges as most of what’s in meat I’ll be getting through the shakes and existing tablets such as iron and magnesium etc. I’m going to try and stick to Sunday arvo to have my solid meal and measure on Monday morning.
The end of the week and the weekend were very busy. I didn’t get more than 5 hours sleep at night after Wednesday night, but as I said I still felt full of beans. I went to the pub and didn’t drink, went to an engagement party and didn’t drink, went to breakfast with friends and had a shake beforehand and coffee while out. I was a very good and well prepared boy.
I thought it might unravel a little over the weekend without work to keep my busy but that didn’t happen. Cravings are gone and I eat when I’m supposed to because I’m rarely hungry, if ever.
I can start to see a few changes in my body which is nice. More definition in my thighs, some in the upper back, my biceps and my chest. I’ll take some photos tomorrow but they’re just for my own entertainment.
Overall though this week had it’s fair share of trials and tribulations and it went really very easily. I’m looking forward to some nicer protein tomorrow which will make things easier as well as some new caffeine tablets and a better tape measure.
This diet has generated some buzz with my mates so I might have a couple of other people to get some feedback from soon too!
