Sorry I haven't posted in a few days. I had Nat'l Guard Duty. This weekend we got our orders for Iraq. I leave in October and will be on acyive duty for a year and a half, in Iraq for only one year though. I am not a very spiritual or religous man but I do believe in the power of mass prayer, so if you guys could pray for strength for my family to help them through my deployment I would appreciate it.
On to the diary.
Friday 200mg, Saturday 0mg, Sunday 400mg.
Fatigue/Heat- I only got about 5 hours of sleep since friday so the dragass got me bad. It was an effort for me to do any physical activity. The armory isnt air conditioned and our section is in the middle of the building so we didn't even have a window to open. I sweat through my BDUs. The crotch of my pants and my pits were wet all weekend. To make things worse I had to take an APFT (Army Physical Fitness Test) on Saturday at 5:30 AM. Normally I do 100+ pushups in 2 min, I did 66. I usually do around 90+ sit ups in 2 min, I did 62. I usually run the 2 miles around 13mins and I ran it in 17:03 (failing for my age group) This is the first PT test I have ever failed. Definately DNP induced fatigue to blame. Tonight I started to get flu-like/sinus symptoms. Will have to see how I feel in the morning.
Weight Loss- At 6 days on DNP I weighed myslef to find I have lost 6 pounds. My diet hasn't been "strict" but I have been limiting my calorie intake to match my activity level.
I plan on staying at 400 mg for about another 14days and hope to drop at least another 10 pounds.
400 tomorrow,
Jayce
