  1. Thanks! I dream of being profiled as a vegan athlete on the VB page! Working hard on achieving my goals to get there!
  2. Today I trained arms and abs. Here's my workout: Narrow pushups 4/15 Seated tricep press 4/8-25lbs Supersets Cable one arm tricep extension 3/8-20lbs One arm reverse grip tricep pushdown 3/8-20lbs Skullcrusher 3/8-5lbs discs EZ bar Close grip bb bench press 3/8-15 lbs discs EZ. Bar Regular sets Incline alternate bicep curl 4/8-15lbs BB curl 21's (2 sets)-EZ bar, 5lbs discs Stability ball crunch 3/25 Jacknife sit ups with ball 3/15 (holding ball overhead) 3/15 Stability ball reverse crunches (ball between feet) 3/15 I feel I have lost strength. I'm not eating well (have lost my appetite) and those days in which I was feeling under the weather really took their toll. But I know I can gain the lost ground back. I'm no quitter! If I was, I wouldn't be where I am todaay, which reminds me: my fitness success story was published by activeLife Guide magazine. Those who wish can read about it in the link below, it's on page 20 http://issuu.com/eduardopena/docs/printing_alg_feb12_32pages?mode=a_p
  3. Hi! Welcome! Just two things: don't worry about the mealplans having too many calories, you need them for growing and, I understand training each muscle group once a week is enough. You tear muscle tissue during training and it is restored during rest. That's how muscles grow. Anyway, welcome aboard!
  4. Today I worked legs. Since I've been having all kinds of issues with my knees, I decided to restructure my whole leg workout and reduce the weight, (sometimes using no weight at all) and increasing the number of reps. I will continue training legs twice a week. Here's what I did today: Lying leg curl 1/35-20lbs 3/25-30lbs Leg extension 1/35-20lbs 3/25-30lbs Lying leg press 4/25-30lbs Squat machine 4/15 empty Standing calf raise 4/25 15lbs Seated calf raise 4/25 50lbs
  5. Sunday was rest day for me. But I couldn't resist the temptation and did the "Pull Day" routine from Jamie Eason's LiveFit trainer. It goes as follows: Bent over dumbbell back row Straight arm DB pullover (used a chair as bench) Seated DB curl Preacher Curl (with a beach ball) Wide stance bodyweight squat (static holds) 10 reps/30secs hold Hip extensions with DB (on the knees) Single leg deadlift with DB Regular planks (3 reps/60secs holds, 1 rep to failure) Side planks (3 reps/60secs hold on each side) Today I performed de "Push Day) Standing one arm (hand facing in) shoulder press Front/side lateral raise Rear delt raise Chest press Wide pushups Wall sit 10 reps/30secs hold Static hold lunges 10 reps/30secs hold Single leg squat (static hold) 10 reps/30sec hold Standing calf raises If it isn't otherwise specified, all exercises where 3 sets of 12 reps I'm BACK!!!
  6. Well, I started veganism for weight loss, I confess I became vegan by accident. Of course, I started reading and researching, onne thing led to the other, and after watching many documentaries I can honestly say I've stayed vegan for humane reasons. I wouldn't have lasted with such shallow reasons as vanity. You should not be so defensive. But you should also know that most of us here love animals. Try to stay open to this lifestyle, listen and observe without judging or building a wall. I preach kindness to all, that includes other people wwhose opinions and beliefs might differ from mine.
  7. Welcome aboard! Pretty cool that you live in the forest!
  8. I am participating in a contest called "Create an Inspiration" organized by Fierce Forward. One has to submit a picture that pretty much represents your "fitness you" and write a message that will inspire others to take up a healthier lifestyle. To vote for me, you just need to like my picture. I'm not much into popularity contests, and gave some serious thoughts to even entering this one, it is not my usual move, but one of my goals this 2012 is to move out of my confort zone and "do stuff" that makes me "antsy" to gain confidence. The weight came off, but confidence it's taking its time to surface. Anyway, I need my #veganfamily to support me on this one. To win means a lot for I think I have a powerful message to spread. To support me and back me up on this one, just go to the link below and like my picture. If you wish to leave an encouraging comment, feel free to do so. You may also support me by sharing the picture on your wall and encouraging your friends to like it as well. Thank you all for your time and support. Being part of this community has positively impacted my life in MANY ways. I want to emulate Robert Cheeke by providing a positive example others can relate to: a real person losing weight and getting fit in a healthy way. Again, thank you for supporting my cause! @TheFitnessGirla https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=337883149568508&id=109129772443848&set=a.337882852901871.78243.109129772443848&refid=0&_rdr
