I started the v-diet last Sat (20th) and as of this morning I've lost 6.5# (including .75" off navel; .5" off waist; 1" off hips) All this is without a single Biotest product in my pantry (according to the article, you can't do it successfully without buying their stuff!  )
Hubby & I have come to the conclusion that something in my solid food diet was causing me to bloat. It was fairly low carb so grains shouldn't be the culprit. Maybe eggs? Dairy consisted of cheese only so I'm not sure where that fits in. Anyway, when I start to transition off the v-diet, we're going to be very careful about what I start eating -- maybe even eat the same solid meal every day -- to see if we can figure out what bloats me and makes me not look so great!
Workouts are still good. Squats are in the 130# range. Deadlifts are around 150#. Bench stays around 80# (we've been doing decline lately). I felt a little wonky the first two workouts this week, but yesterday was definately stronger and more endurable. The weather has been beautiful this week so the daily walks are very pleasurable. Of course, I'm still due to get one in today and the dark storm clouds are quickly approaching. I may be on the recumbent bike instead.
We're going out of town this weekend so I need to make up my little shake packets (or load half the mini-van with 4# protein jugs!) I'm due a solid meal this weekend, but I'm not sure when/where it'll be. Since we're staying with other people I'll have to wing it around the schedule I run into. We're also picking up 400# of beef on Sunday so if I can hold out until Sun night and have a good steak dinner, that would rock!
So look for me. I'll be here. |
Well, well, well.
Welcome back, Brenda. V diet, huh? I did a bastardized version with one solid meal/day. It ws surprisingly not that tough, for some reason.
400 LBS of beef? When should I show up for the BBQ?
