V-Diet 2 : Day 12
May 23, 2008 8:08 pm Velocity Diet LogWeights this morning were great actually, I felt full of energy and I think the extra sleep and removal of some activity has really helped. I didn’t have very much caffeine at all today (one coffee) and I was alert and happy all day. The ride to work this morning was a bit gruelling with a headwind the entire time, but I think I held up surprisingly well considering it was leg day!
I increased weight on pretty much everything and am really concentrating on form and working until I’m down to the 4-5 rep per set range. Before I would squeeze out another set but I don’t see the point at the moment when I’m trying to maintain energy. I’m just putting more effort and better form into the sets I do do.
I wasn’t hungry at all today though my stomach did rumble for a bit when I missed my lunch shake by almost an hour. I didn’t expect to be out anywhere near as long as I was and as such I had to watch my mates eat while I drank water. I was so dehydrated it wasn’t funny too and my mouth tasted like shit. I bought a Coke Zero and a bottle of water for the bus ride home!
After having two shakes in fairly quick succession (about 2 hours apart rather than the usual 3) I felt pretty good and took the train home. It’s time for the dinner shake now and I’m not at all hungry, I probably would have forgotten without the alarm set on my computer!
I got some new teas yesterday, some Chai and some Blackcurrent infused tea. They’re both really nice though I know the chai will be better with milk!
I’m going out again tonight but will try to take it easy and just have something to keep my energy levels up. So tomorrow I think I will be sleeping in but I will still be aiming to get my shakes in as per a usual non-workout day. I may go for a walk in the afternoon but I’m not sure.
So I’m feeling good, definitely into the smooth part of the V-Diet and can’t wait for the photos and weigh in on Sunday.
