Velocity Diet – Restart; new Day 1

Posted at 7:53 AM • 2 Comments

Hmm… it’s been a few days without any update… so, heres the story…  This past weekend I was involved in a wedding party and had to travel quite a bit.  I was not fully prepared to manage my diet needs so I ended up just eating normally all weekend.  I tried to keep it healthy, and I think I did because before my weekend I weighed 372, and today I weigh 374 – which i am sure is almost all just water retention.  SO, I am back on the plan, but I figured that I would start counting over again. Lessons Learned?  Yes, plan well in advance to be able to work your diet around events such as weddings, etc.

Also, I got a twitter account this past weekend.  It’s kind of fun.  http://twitter.com/billbates if you want to follow me.

Velocity Diet – Days 5 & 6

Posted at 8:33 AM • No Comments

well, days 5 and 6 were a bit of a struggle to actually do anything. Monday I was pretty sick, so I spent the day in bed and didn’t even go for a walk. Tuesday I felt pretty stressed out from work and was just in a  bad mood when I got home.  I also didn’t go for my walk.  I am finding it pretty hard to be able to actually consume all of the calories that I am supposed to.  I feel overly full.  Well, lets keep the ball rolling.

Velocity Diet – Day 4

Posted at 10:32 PM • No Comments

well folks. Day 4 is winding down. The plan allows for one meal per week and I decided that today would be that day. I hate food. I went to Chilis and had the fajitas trio plate – ate just the small bits of beef, chicken and shrimp… and the lettuce and diced tomatoes. :)

It took me forever to eat and by the time that i was done I felt lik e a lead ball had been thrown in my stomach.

It also impacted my daily walk / jog. I didn’t think that I would be able to go any longer than ten minutes I felt so lethargic and crappy… but I kept pressing myself and after every five minutes I said to myself “I’ll go for just 5 minutes more…” until I ultimately made it to 45 minutes.

So, next week I am going to try to make the meal a breakfast food – maybe dinner is too heavy and late in the day.

Anyway – this morning I weighed in at 381 pounds (16 pounds lost since THURSDAY!!) and my blood pressure was 165 / 84.
