Day 2

08 Oct

Weight: 126.2

I struggled quite a bit yesterday for motivation, but lying in bed last night I think it hit me. If I can stick to this diet I can reach my fitness goals. I’m not going to lie, today has been difficult. I’ve been daydreaming of Chipotle. Gosh I hope that goes away.

Today the struggle has been more about faith. I don’t know if I have enough faith in myself to stick to it. Before we started Joey told me he had absolutely no faith in me completing this, and I don’t know rather I should really give it my all and prove him wrong or if I should just eat something delicious and get it over with.

Today has been better than yesterday though. In the morning I was taking a full serving of flax, 2 scoops of protein, 1 scoop of waxy maize starch, and a serving of fish oil. That was just too much. I felt nauseous and dizzy after eating (guess I should say consuming) all of that. Today I had the shake, Greens, and Hot Rox first thing in the morning and had the flax and fish oil in between Meals 1 and 2. Taking it like that really helped. Plus in between the two meals I was a little hungry, so it cured that too. I also learned not to take fish oil on an empty stomach. That didn’t sit too well. Today I took it after the flax and I felt much better.

Wish me luck!

Velocity Diet > Joey > Day 2

08 Oct

Posted by Joey as Joey's Diet Log

Weight: 182.4

I never got around to writing a day 1 entry. Boo.

First and foremost, if you aren’t familiar with the Velocity Diet — you can find some information on it below:

It’s day 2 and this is harrrrrrrrrrrrd. I consider myself a somewhat disciplined person, but I love food. Eating the same thing day in/day out for 28 days is going to be tough. It’s not so much that I’m hungry as generally dissatisfied after meals.

Drinking meals isn’t a hell of a lot of fun. On the upside, I’ve lost a lot of water weight. I feel even though this diet is tough — damn tough — I should be able to manage, miserable as I may be.

I just have to keep my thoughts on the payoff — six-pack, six-pack, six-pack.

What sane person aims for a pre-winter six-pack?

Me, apparently. Heh.

I’m a big fan of instant gratification, we’ll see how this works out.

On a side note.. I had a lot of trouble staying asleep last night. When I did sleep I couldn’t keep from dreaming about cheating on the diet. I’ve read other diet logs where folks had the same experience. I’m sure it’s a manifestation of my anxieties and concerns about flaking out.

Peanut butter has become my saving grace for now. At the end of the day I can think of nothing else aside from sweet sweet peanut butter.. ..mmmm.. two tablespoons of heaven. Heh.
