Velocity Diet - Day 13

Made it home from the Ohio visit with relatives. It was rough making shakes on the airplane but, actually, not as bad as I thought it would be. I am near the end of the second week and feeling very good right now.

In the spirit of full disclosure, I did have an extra solid meal yesterday at the celebration for my Mother-in-law's birthday. I cut out the last two shakes and almond butter to stay under my caloric limit.

Bowl of bouillabaisse (Salmon, Scallops, Monk fish)
Large green salad w/ Oil-Vinegar
Small glass red wine

I have been sleeping very well and this seems to make a big difference as to how I feel during the day. The bouillabaisse may have helped too :-)

My workout yesterday was surprisingly strong. I dead-lifted heavier and with more volume than I have in the recent past. Pretty sore today but that was a great workout. It will be interesting to see how I fare in the next couple of weeks but I have not lost any strength so far.

Thought I'd recommend a blogger I enjoy reading. Art De Vany has been writing very interesting articles on health, nutrition and exercise for awhile now. He is completely confused regarding Kettlebells but most of his posts are excellent.
