V-Diet 2 : Day 8
May 19, 2008 6:49 pm Velocity Diet LogI almost stayed in bed this morning, I think I still had a bit of sleep to catch up on from the weekend but I ended up jumping out of bed and this usually means that I will just get going. Once I make the decision to get up I just roll straight outta bed, into PJs and off I go.
Weights felt very good this morning and I increased my squat quite a bit and most back exercises really felt good. I’ve been concentrating on form for a few weeks and though I decreased my weights initially they’re all now higher than when I was really just doing it badly. I feel like doing things properly is starting to really pay off.
The ride to work was hard and I think I have to admit that I don’t have the same energy I did before the V-Diet. I mean for typical exertion and going out and staying up I do have that sort of energy but when it comes to physical exertion such as exercise or climbing stairs I really do feel gassed and sluggish most of the time. You just have to push through it.
I wasn’t hungry at all today and accidentally missed the lunch time shake. This did setup a situation where even though I’d had the lunch time shake I was feeling hungrier than I would have about an hour later. I had my arvo shake though and this was all fine.
The ride home again wasn’t that great, but it wasn’t terrible either. I just don’t seem to have the real push I would have had before.
I put on a pair of jeans I was wearing last week that were a bit loose but not that much, they were just not even hanging on me it was like I sat inside them with a gap all around the waist. They look big and are probably 2-3 sizes too big for me. Still they’re comfortable and I’m not out to impress anyone at work. Still it was really surprising to see such a dramatic drop in size so quickly.
So everything is going well, I’m well into the swing of things. Tonight is coffee with friends so I’ll have tea and coffee and come home to a shake and then hit the sack. I need some sleep!!
