Ever had one of these days (I think the picture says it all)? Well, okay, my day wasn’t that bad. However it could have been much better. I had planned more interval training and grip strength training for today. Yet, a combination of powerful winds, rain, and my aching shins kept me inside. Just Another [...]

Well since today is day seven, I figured it was time for a look back over the last seven days. What have I learned? How have things changed? Heck, maybe you’re even asking, what is the Velocity Diet? First, you might want to take a look back at where I was when I started (first [...]

I have a feeling that my run yesterday left my shins and ankles weak, and it has impacted my whole day. I’ve been pretty unmotivated to exercise, and when I did my ankles kept throwing off my balance- but you’ll hear more about that later. One of Those Days… When I woke up at 5 [...]

Intervals and Grip Strength Today was another good day on the Velocity Diet. My energy stayed consistent and high throughout the day. I have no complaints. Heck, as my body has adjusted, even the diarrhea has gone away. So, about my day….

Here are a few of the exercises that will get me through the Velocity Diet experiment… First, sledgehammer training. There is nothing like the feeling of wielding that 8, 10, or 12 pound hammer over and over again into the tire to get the blood pumping. When all is said and done, the next day [...]

Well aside from the problem I mentioned yesterday continuing into today, today went quite well. That isn’t to say that the day was easy. It most certainly wasn’t! But contrary to what many of you think (I know this since I’ve received quite a few emails) I am not experiencing a severe hunger for carbs. [...]

First the good news. It has been three days now and I am still experiencing record levels of energy and alertness. I am no longer suffering that mid-day lag I used to have to push my way through. Needless to say I am quite happy with that! Moreover, the scale this morning reflected a 3 [...]

The day started off well enough. A little black tea in the morning (7:45 a.m.) and I was up and running. My energy levels were quite high at the start of the day. I got down my breakfast protein shake and milled flax seed combo no problem (8:15 a.m.). I chased that down with about [...]

Quick update on day one. I only cheated a bit today, as I supplemented my lunch with a 4 oz. chicken breast and indulged in 4 slices of reduced fat bacon with dinner. Otherwise it was all shakes, milled flax seed, fiber, water, and supplements for me today. As far as activity goes, I went [...]

Well since today is the first day of the Velocity Diet challenge I took my measurements first thing this morning- with the exception of the blood pressure and pulse measurement which I took last night. The numbers are:
