My brain functions are failing. I've discovered that this caloric deficit is making my memory about as useful as a poopy flavoured lollipop (I tried to come up with something original, but those neurons have quit firing altogether). I've lost about seven pounds, but I really don't feel any healthier. My blood pressure monitor says that I am healthier, but is that because I'm depriving myself of energy or beer? I feel like Chris Shugart and the Biotest gang left out an important component to their V-Diet: body composition. Age, height, and weight are fine, but if I'm 215lbs and say 18% body fat and the smelly dude next to me is 215lbs and 85% body fat, we're going to have different caloric needs. Of course, the creators of the velocity diet know this, but they would have trouble selling $500+ worth of protein at a time if they overcomplicated the system.
OK. I'm done with my rant. I still don't regret doing this because several positive things have come from the process and I intend to finish the month out strong. I just wish I had the strength of will to do it without a "packaged" deal. I believe going forward, I will.
Did V-challenge yesterday morning.
Bent over rows:
1 x 5 135
3 x 5 225 (used straps)
Overhead Squats:
4 x 5 95 (F*%K these things)
Dips:
4 x 5 Bw (got through these as fast as possible. Too lazy to ad weight)
Ab Wheelies
4 x 5 Bryant pushing down on my back
On a happier note, I bought 50ft of 3/4 poly rope to start pulling Bryant's Corolla through my barn. Hopefully, I can work up to the Tahoe soon.

Sick. i'm totally with you. i've been thinking that same thing. i'd'a done better on this thing if i'd started out at 250. It is a li'l incredible to me that i haven't lost any appreciable weight if i'm actually eating 1450 calories/day. Makes me wonder if i really am, or if my metabolism has shut down to compensate, or what. i sound real down in my post, but i have seen some good things come from it. (i'd like to not have had to spend $600 to discover 'em, but them's the breaks.) i'm looking forward to hitting it hard though, too. i want to walk v6 and break into v7 this year. i think i have the tools to start training with.
I hear you fellas. That is th' breaks. I'd like to have 6 C notes still in the bank, but honestly, I wouldn't have done anything remotely this harsh and dedicated. I'm glad yall found this diet, because if anything, I have a new appreciation for food and eating without paying attention to it. I have some great habits that I am going to keep in place.
I think all in all, even minus the dead presidents, its going to save us all a lot of money in the long run. Money spent on beer, fast food, and other garbage. Plus, our colons are now the strongest muscle in our bodies.
until tomorrow!
