I really hoped for some downward movement in the lower abdominal measurement but as you can see it’s not budged
I’m feeling more energetic today, could be due to not training for 2 days or my HSM (healthy solid meal), or a combination of the two! Anyway, it’s enabled me to actually get a couple of PRs today - 120KG Deadlift & 60KG Military Press
Weight: 216lbs (15st 6lbs) / 97.9Kg (-6lbs / 2.7Kg)
I’ll do measurements after the weekend, on day 12
I lacked energy yesterday which sucked, didn’t really feel hungry though

I was hoping that my lower abs (i.e. the real waist! - fattest area around love handles etc) would’ve decreased a bit more but no dice. I’ll measure again on Day 9, maybe then the dreaded mushy love handles will have become not so mushy!

Day 2 begins.. I’m going to do some steady state fasted cardio as I’ve just woken up
Weight: 219lbs (15st 9lbs) / 99.3Kg
I’m going to be doing the Velocity Diet for 28 days, starting today. For the first 2 days however I’m having my usual 4 whole eggs (scrambled) for breakfast as I don’t want to waste them and I don’t think it will be a problem.

I’ve already done a full (upper) body workout at the gym today and will possibly do some light/medium cardio later on
edit: did 45mins steady state @1pm
Another afterthought: I’m not using Hot-Rox as per the original V-Diet
I randomly suffered from this strange Vista affliction, however managed to cure it by uninstalling Adobe Version Cue CS3
Currently when enabling SSL on shopping cart pages in Actinic, Actinic will no longer be able to link up Secpay transactions to orders.
After numerous hours debugging, I figured out what was going wrong.. when SSL is enabled on shopping cart pages, Actinic provides Secpay with HTTPS callbacks - as you’d expect. It also sets a parameter which Secpay needs if the callbacks are HTTPS. However for some reason at this moment in time Secpay won’t use the HTTPS callbacks - the request is never sent to the server
I don’t know why this is happening, I even used the alternative method of informing Secpay that the callback is HTTPS - via the ‘options’ parameter.. no dice
The solution I’m currently using is to modify the ‘OCCSecPayScriptTemplate.pl’ file, inserting a line after the following block of code:
# to enable Diners cards, remove the ‘#’ from the start of the 2 lines below
#$sOptions .= ‘,’ if ($sOptions ne ”);
#$sOptions .= ‘diners=true’;
the line to change the callback URLs back to HTTP is:
$::sCallBackURLAuth =~ s/https/http/;
Bleeding Edge has a few good tweaks for Thunderbird - I like Thunderbird but it can be seriously crap with large IMAP inboxes.. huge delays when doing things as it does some voodoo magic in the background etc.. and now that Google Mail have opened up IMAP access it’s even more useful
If you combine the above tweaks with Lifehacker’s new ‘Turn Thunderbird into the Ultimate Gmail IMAP Client‘ article, then you should be rocking!
