Day 24
January 30, 2008 8:05 pm Velocity Diet LogSleep
I got a full 8 hours again last night, I think I’m still just catching up on the weekend and with BJJ last night for two hours I would’ve really needed it.
Exercise
Weights today! I didn’t expect much because of BJJ last night, it’s really quite a workout of it’s own. If you imagine doing an hour of weights and then following that up eight hours later with another hour then you can see why I wouldn’t expect greatness.
Still I didn’t feel tired and I pretty much didn’t move backwards on anything I just didn’t complete all sets with the increased weight I put on. I think Mondays are my forward progress days these days with Wednesday and Friday being about stabilising and putting in the work.
Really enjoying the cable setup and love doing cable curls and back exercises with it. I’m not feeling like any of the exercises are really working my triceps as well as the skull crushers though so maybe I need to checkout my form.
I ended up walking from work to the train station, then to the next and the next until I ended up walking for 45-50minutes and covering almost 5km. It was good fun with a bit of music and I barely even noticed it. It was a nice night with a nice breeze and it would have been a great run. As it was the walk was really enjoyable too.
General
I woke up to my alarm this morning then slept into sleep for another 45 minutes which says to me I should try and get to bed early tonight. I think after BJJ I should try and get a full eight hours in just to recover and be ready for the following day. I also couldn’t find a ready source of caffeine for my workout so that could’ve effected things.
I cooked breakfast this morning for the guys at work. I made an egg plant, onion and corn fritata because I actually bought the stuff thinking that I’d like to eat that. I didn’t though, but I did try a couple of spoon fulls of it and it was delicious.
I had way too much caffeine today. I got some new tablets a while ago and I’ve used them a few times and thought they were crap. However I took a few today and they just seem to be more drawn out in their effect. I’ve been working for eight hours straight without a break and I could do more except I need to go home!
I ate pretty well today and feeling good. I didn’t notice any changes today but it does feel like my chest is tightening up and there is definitely way more definition in my back now.
I’m heading home from work at 8:30pm which is really late for me. I’ve lost track of how many shakes I’ve had today but I think I have two more until the end of the day so I’ll need to squeeze them in. I am just forgetting to eat now because I’m quite simply not hungry.
I got home about 9:30pm after a 45 minute walk and remembered that I had forgotten on of my shakes! So I had the night shake with another shot of isolate in it just to make sure I’m stocked up. It just goes to show that I’m not in the least bit hungry at the moment and how easy this part of the diet is.
So there is now four days to go and they’re going to fly by!
