Consistency. It's not a pizza topping.

Heya, sounds like yesterday was fun :)

I'm moving to Canada because I honestly don't want to live in my home country anymore. There is so much crime, prejudice and poverty... and the opportunities are decreasing.

My boyfriend has family in Canada, and I have done some research. It's the place where I wanna start a family :)

I love dynamic lower day. Is so fun. Some fit mma-lookin' dude was shocked at how high I can jump. Haha. It was very amusing.

And, unrelated, I am honestly enjoying this velocity diet. It really is just keto without all the nastiness and impreciseness. I feel fantastic. And I'm still getting stronger. :D

Gonna need to do something about my NEPA, can't be slowing down just 'cause I'm simulating starvation. :p I'm thinking a couple long bike rides this weekend, and excessive amounts of lasertag. And some dancing, because apparently I've been neglecting a certain someone's me quota. Haha.

E1 Wrist Roller 12.5x3x2

Thoughts

So, yeah. I just realized I'm meant to be doing a warm-up set on my DB Bench and threw it in at the end. Missed my MPs, so I did that instead of lat raises. I forgot I was only doing 12 initially, and corrected it later. I've definitely gotten stronger on those since that first workout back. It's official that I can shrug more weight than I can hold onto - I can barely hold 75 lb dumbbells, but I can shrug them with little effort?? Haha. I feel like I'm doing it wrong, but I'm not. I checked and checked and checked. Anyway, I'll keep shrugging that until my grip gets stronger. The BB curls make me a little sad. I mean, they're serving their purpose, but the whole using them as a finisher thing is kind of bad for the peacock inside me, as I'm convinced they're actually slowly getting worse as I learn to do all the other bicep-involved exercises better. Didn't do the last set on the wrist roller 'cause 12.5 friggen destroyed my forearms. They were like rocks. I <3 that exercise, right after the grip-intensive shrugs. Sorry about the blob of text, and wazzaaaa.
 
I wonder if I could this professionally - Whining

So, yeah. This whole not eating and the drinking of the same shakes over and over again, starting to lose its uh, flair. Not because I mind the taste, I've pretty much perfected the shake recipes, they're delicious - but I'm hungry and tired, and not even the thought-by-me-to-be-all-powerful anhydrous caffeine can save me from my fate. Only 24 days and 135 shakes to go. Wooh, wooh.

Days suffered: 4
Lbs lost: -0.2

:rofl:
 
Check it out for a few more days, but maybe you're getting too little energy in with the exercise you're doing and the type of food you're eating (drinking!)

Good luck with it all!

Oh, I'm in it until the end. I won't become another statistic. (This diet has an extremely high rate of failure.)

I'm definitely getting too little energy, that's the whole idea. :p But, I don't seem to respond well to low-carb. Or, I'm responding really well (putting on muscle while shedding fat, due to the possible surplus of protein). Time will tell. Science is a harsh mistress. T_T

Thanks, though. :)

A1 Full Squat 45x5, 65x5, 85x5, 105x5, 125x5, 145x5, 165x3, 185x3, 205x1, 45x40
B1 Walking Lunge 45x12x3

D1 Sprinter Sit-up 0x10x3
D2 Incline Sit-up 0x10x2, 0x8

Thoughts

Another fun workout. Finally got you that 205 I owed you, there, Chillen. Could've done another if I hadn't got cocky and sloppy. Lunges I kept where they were as promised, cleaned out the form. They were continuous and smooth. Hyperextensions I got a little crazy, and I also realized I'm probably doing more than 45. Better check that out next time. Threw in that extra set on the ab work and rocked it. Booyaka. Oh, and I forgot to mention that I randomly did a max set of bar squats at the end, there. Apparently I can squat 45 lbs 40 times in one minute.

Story time: My sister was over and wanted to come play, so I had her do this workout with me. 3 different trainers complimented my squat form and 3 (other) different people (women, all) called me a slavedriver for how hard I was making her work haha. My reply to all of the above was, "Thank you! :D"

I am gaining weight and getting stronger fast on the V Diet. Um, what? Why must I be such a mutant. XD

Seriously, wow. This has been a long day. Max lower, 3 hours of laser tag, two hours of salsa dancing and then epic adventures on the way home. I was totally some random chick's knight in shining armor, and I don't think she even has a clue how lucky she was I happened to be walking by as her douche of a boyfriend/date/whatever decided to try to pummel(/murder?) her. She was really quite hilariously unappreciative, and extremely demanding. Also the whole asking me to take her home thing and my not raping and/or killing her. She was probably blackout drunk too, so I'm guessing she'll wake up tomorrow and wonder why she took 150'ish pictures of some random dude wearing her hat (she kept dropping it and then lunging for it and almost-falling) and holding her hand. I didn't even ask her what her name was.

Anyway, need sleep. 5 days down, and only 120'ish shakes to go. Yeah boi. Also, I think it was pretty sweet that I one-shotted a dude who was way bigger than me, but I totally sucker punched him, so. :D
 
Mannnnnnn

You have no idea how good a bellyful (2 slices, don't judge) of Il Guante pizza from Vogglio's (the best pizza in Calgary, and possibly even Canada, hands-down, I will fight you) is after a week of protein shakes. I can't wait until next week, when I will do it again. Bwahahahaha.

I AM IMBUED WITH HAPPY RAYS OF SUNSHINE AND MAGICS. RAAAAAWR. k good talk.

Yup yup.

Pretty sure I'm gonna hit at least 200% completion of my 100 hours of (extra) NEPA goal for the summer.

Also, despite my frequent complaining, I seem to be solidly in the 180s. I've noticed a pattern: every time I play lasertag I lose 1 lb. So, at ~$35/4 hours, if I play 100 hours of lasertag (currently at about 20 I think haha), I will have spent $875 and lost 25 lbs. I wonder how that compares to say, Jenny Craig. :D

Tomorrow will be Day 7 of 28 for the V Diet. So far I've been perfect with regard to my adherence, and lost 2.8 lbs. This puts me at roughly 23% body fat currently, assuming an almost negligible loss of lean tissue. Assuming, once again, no water weight fluctuation (which I seem to be immune to?) that'll mean 13.1 lbs for 28 days. So hopefully I'll be at 178.3 lbs and 18.5% body fat on the 27th of July.

The point of all this being that I suppose my "remove 10 points from my body fat percentage" goal for the summer seems doable. Not really sure what I'll do in August... I guess the break-out for this diet and then... Velocity Again? :SaiyanSmilie_anim: Depends on the results. I'll do this all winter too if I have to. Grawrar. But the sooner I can bulk the more fun I'll be having. :)

Thoughts

Not really sure what happened today. Felt like I lost a little strength. Which would be understandable given the whole simulated starvation thing but I was mostly fine until the 65x25 bench I randomly threw in. That wrecked me for everything else. I liked it because I really felt it everywhere I was supposed to. But afterward my forearms and biceps were too trashed to handle the rest. I dunnoes. Still had lots of fun, though.
 
You sound as excited about working out as I am lately... never thought it was possible for me to crave my exercise :)
 
lolwut

It appears the V Diet is working. A lot. I may break into the 170s before the week is through. o_O But I'm feeling quite a lot like a flat tire.

It now seems highly probable that I am in fact insulin sensitive - the confirmation of which was and continues to be the main point of this "experiment" (see: torture session). Other than rapid results I mean. Keto was too sloppy to make an accurate assessment.

My friend (who's a psychiatrist) insists that I have an unhealthy obsession, but I'm sayin', "I like this deal; I'll take results for pain every day of the week." Shit, I wish there was some way to make it even more difficult. But I honestly don't think there is. Suggestions, anyone? :flame:
 
V diet, huh....

Gotta love the fast results!

What made you decide you are insulin sensitive?

It's really only a half-assed hypothesis. It would be more accurate to say that I think I was carb sensitive, due partially to a near complete lack of exercise, and am slowly becoming less so.

Anyway: I've noted that the lower the GI (and more importantly, GL) of the foods I eat, and the higher the protein and fat content, the more body fat I shed, at the same caloric intake. For example, on velocity as I am now, I am eating roughly 150 calories a day less than I was on a balanced but lowish carb Berardi style diet (no starches at all, only fruits and vegetables and WO recovery), and losing weight at 2 to 3 times the rate I was then (too fast even, as I'm barely maintaining my current levels of strength). The difference is 25% calories from carbs (the former) and <10% calories from carbs (the latter). It would seem that, for me, not all calories are created equal. Not even close. And I feel better on less carbs. Sort of deflated and weak (I suspect that's the deficit diet), but good.

Also, the pattern of my body fat distribution. The spare tire is the first to come and the last to leave. And I generally feel mildly bloated after consuming starches, regardless of how "clean" they are.
