V-Diet 2 - Day 7
May 19, 2008 11:34 am Velocity Diet LogWell this day was pretty easy and I really feel into the swing of things. One thing I do notice though is that I feel pretty sluggish when anything above normal exertion is required. Walking up a hill, or up stairs for instance, or going for a run; I feel sluggish and like there is no reserve there. A few times during the day I got up a bit quickly and felt light headed but my mate was complaining of the same thing and it could’ve been residual from the big Friday night.
I went for a run in the morning, just 7km and not at a high pace, luckily the other guys felt pretty shit too. I really had to push myself the entire way which was draining and unusual, it’s usually quite an easy run.
After the run we went and had breakfast as this amazing place called Sensations. They really cater to a wide variety of dietary conditions. Most of their menu can be made gluten free and they sell a wide variety of high quality gluten free and lactose free products. They also do a no-carb breakfast which is some veges with salmon, aoli, eggs and hollandaise. I however had tea and coffee as I’d planned ahead and had a shake just before heading out. This didn’t bother me as I watched my friends eat some really delicious food.
After breakfast I went home for about an hour then headed over to the BJJ tournament. I wasn’t competing as I just couldnt’ get motivated for it and given my tiredness it probably was best that I was just spectating. Our guys did well and a few of us headed out to get some food and drinks. I’d brought a shake so I had that while the other guys had some decent looking grub and some beers.
When I got home I had my HSM.
The HSM was 300g of Kangaroo, 300g of broccoli and cauliflower, a zuchini and some onion and chilli. I fried the onion and chilli then added the zuchini and fried that for a while until it was browned. Then I fried the steamed broccoli and cauliflower in mustard and mustard seeds. I then cooked the kangaroo medium rare and ate it all. It was delicious. I remember the last run I definitely dug the veges more than the meat and this time was no different. I was loving the raw zuchini and balsamic as I cooked.
After the HSM I watched a movie then I had my peanut butter the casein and then hit the sack not long after that.
It has been an awesome week and an awesome weekend. I’m looking forward to the coming week and getting into the 80’s weight wise.
