Day 26
Workout was good. Gym is nice and empty at 7:30 on a Friday night. Vburn tomorrow!

last workout, hooner? i think not! drop and gimme 2 more weeks!

seriously though, well done mate

So how was it? Are you glad you did it? I have enjoyed reading your post.

@ Triskele, dang, you are so right! 2 more weeks of transition, what, with meals everyday? Ok, I'll do it.

V Burn today: 18:55! Taking names now.
Funny, an hour ago, I was sitting on couch on Saturday, all sunny and warm out, thinking gym was last place I wanted to be. I said, well, I'll just put on shorts, etc...next thing I know I'm at the gym, now I'm feeling great. Sometimes it is just the first small step that is the hardest.

28 day measurements tomorrow.

@ggold005- Glad you are enjoying blog. Reading others really has been great for me too.
Yes, so glad, so worth it. I love just following the plan, ignoring and forgetting about food (except for the day before HSM meal, when I spend hours on internet planning menu Check out http://stuffimakemyhusband.blo... for great ideas. Plus HSM forum here on T-Nation is good.
Glad? I lost pounds of fat, inches of my belly, which is incredibly motivating. Most important, I have regained control of my health (including eating, drinking habits) and am back on the road to fitness.

Day 28
Weigh in & Measurements
Weight: 192.5 lbs - loss of 15.5 from start of 208.
Waist: 38.5" - loss of 4" from start of 42.5"
Upper leg (thigh) L- 23.5" - loss of 1.75"
Upper leg R - 24" - loss of 2.5"

28 days ago I wrote my goal was to lose 16 lbs and 5" off waist, so this was really close. Very happy with results.
You can see from photos I have a ways to go, but what a great start, thanks to the Velocity Diet plan.
Looking at those photos again, even my hair is thinner.

Before and after 28 days:

Each pic is 1 lb of fat. I lost 15.5 of them...in 28 days. No wonder V Burn Challenge is easier now. No longer wondering where the term lard ass comes from....

Day 29 (Transition Day 1)
Hey, transition workouts are different than regular V Diet ones! I should have read ahead. Anyway, went great.
Had to remind myself this is 1 HSM/day week.

Day 30 (Transition Day 2)
Shakes and 1 HSM. Healthy meals aren't such a celebration when they are everyday. Having healthy meals frozen sure helps. Another great day.

Whew, Day 30 felt like forever. Note to self: just click once to post.

Your doing a great job hooner, keep up the good work.

Awesome results Hooner! 15 lbs of fat is keeping me motivated to keep going!

Thanks for the support. On a 2 day vacation which includes a shake break. Still HSM and Nepa. Back on Saturday .

Transition Week 2
Shakes and HSMs. Thinking about post V Diet workout plan for a while now. Lots of great advice here on T Nation. I'm going with Stronglifts 5x5.
I like it because it is simple, straightforward, designed for success. You start light (bar only), and increase weight 5 lbs/day. Squats increase 10 lbs. Nutrition is pure HSM. Can't wait to start and build on my VDiet success.

can't go wrong with the staples - linear progression and the big lifts. for the first few weeks, don't be afraid to up the reps or sets just to get your form dialed in. sounds like a great plan hooner!

Friday of Transition week 2
Few shakes, HSMs. Cooking takes time! Shakes are easy!

glad things are going well hooner. you're at the finish line!
