I LOVE laser tag...although it's been a long time since I enjoyed it and I was much lighter too. Not really any opportunity to play it anymore though so I'm envious.

So it turns out the Y closes early on statutory holidays. Who knew. Dynamic lower tomorrow morning, then.

Also, tried the citrus limeade flavor, which is awesome, but I accidentally dumped 3x the amount of salt in, which was not so awesome. Still drank it, though. 10 down, 146 to go. Almost there!

I will dedicate my next few games to you. <3 Really loudly, interrupting the "marshall" in the process.

Ok that works for me...I'll just live vicariously until we can have a "laser tag in las vegas" challenge, lol

Im gonna have to read back a bit in your diary...I wanna know more about these shakes you are talking about...

Happy Canada Day

I didnt get to see the fire works cuz I started my night shift at 10pm...however, I had my family come to work and we got to watch the fireworks from the back yard, that was kinda cool!!!

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

Thoughts

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.

Gonna need to do something about my NEPA, can't be slowing down just 'cause I'm simulating starvation. 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.

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.

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

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. 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.

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! "

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.

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.
