Day 20
January 26, 2008 2:13 pm Velocity Diet LogSleep
I went to sleep late yesterday but got about 6 hours in the end. I woke up and couldn’t get back to sleep and feel totally fine so I guess that was enough.
Exercise
No exercise today, it’s my day off!
General
I started the day a little later today but got into the shakes as soon as I got up. I felt alert and ready to go from getting out of bed.
I’ve increased my psyllium intake a fair bit and hopefully that’ll help everything out.
I did some shopping for some clothes today, there was quite a bit on special so it was good to pickup some new stuff. I walked through the shopping centre with my iPod on and it made everything a whole lot more bearable.
In the line at Woolworths they had the standard setup of chocolate bars and so on and I know every time I’d go past them normally I’d grab something. This time I looked at them, I even tried to generate some desire for them to test myself but it wasn’t there! In fact what I wanted to do was eat a roast potato or have some salad with balsamic vinegar. Pretty cool!
I’m sitting waiting for the get together this evening. It’s a very un-Australian thing to do to not drink on Australia day but that’s just the way it’s going to be. That’s normal or me now though, drinking would be unusual.
I was out at a get together until about one in the morning so I took two shakes with me and drank them while I was out. It was your typical beer and snack foods, chips and sausages and stuff but I didn’t have any of it. It was surprisingly easy really. Even at the kebab store where the smell was amazing, I was thinking of a roast potato. I don’t think I could stomach a kebab right now, it’s something I’d need to build up to.
I didn’t eat last night for about four hours at the most but that’s the worst so I don’t think it’s that bad really. It’s surprisingly easy to prepare things these days.
So everything is going well, all very routine and the changes are noticeable in the mirror and in clothing.
