  2. ^^^^ thanks for posting this- I'd kinda stopped making time for my training journal on here. I have of course still been training- just not using the net half as much! Punnets of fruit are stil going strong- although now I have switched to bags of grapes as the punnets sold in Tesco's have been a bit manky. The american-english-american translation idea sounds genius! How is your training going Dylan?
  3. Really enjoyed reading this. I think it's brilliant that you want to take a blood test to see if you have any nutrient deficiencies. mineral imbalances, etc. But I have to offer this advice; Try not to let your lifestyle get in the way of good nutrition- let good nutrition become your lifestyle. You said in your opening post that you went vegan purely for moral reasons. Eating a highly nutritious, well balanced diet that will leave you fresh faced, full of energy and glowing will be one of the best things you could do as a vegan. You will be providing an example of the health that can be achieved through eating a plant based diet. Maybe use your initial reasons for going vegan as a reason to pursue a nutritious diet and try not to see them as seperate reasons- showing off your good health to inspire others will save hundreds of animals in the future! x
  4. ^^^lol very true Thursday 29th March REST DAY Oats, raisins, seeds and soya milk Large falafel salad from Pilpel 1/2 tub raw vegan ice cream (Hunky Punky chocolate by Booja Booja) 1/2 punnet of green grapes and a raw food bar Another raw food bar (by Nakd) 2 sweet potatoes, sweetcorn, peas, kidney beans and homemade chilli sauce Really needed a rest today- my legs are still aching from a workout that I did at the beginning of the week. Hopefully the DOMS has faded tomorrow before I teach Spin!
  5. Firstly- you look amazing! What a transformation!- You are a great example of what a vegan could and should look like and I'm sure you're inspiring loads of people to follow a compassionate lifestyle. As for bulking advice- have you bought the Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness book yet? I found it really helpful with the whole cut/bulk process and the vegan diet- I had to get the kindle version though as I couldn't wait for UK delivery! Well done again- you look really, really good.
  6. Apologies for the late reply Dylan... a punnet: - It's a british word for plastic carton. So it's just what the grapes here are sold in- probably equates to about 4 American cups. Oatcakes with yeast extract: No fancy recipe I'm afraid. I just spread the marmite on the oatcakes and eat them whilst pretending their twiglets! Haven't updated on here for a while as I had a pec injury and a 4 day bout of sickness....quite frustrating as it's the 3rd time I've been ill since xmas. I have such a sturdy immune system most of the time- but I think working at a very busy gym exposes me to more germs than most! Any other vegans who hate admitting when they're unwell to non-vegans? I'm always met with the response 'maybe you should eat some meat'.... .... .... Yes, you're right- dead decaying flesh in my colon really is the cure! Anyway- took my bodyfat reading with callipers at the end of last week and I'm down to 18.9%. I'm very pleased as a few monthst ago I was at about 23%- and I've only just started a leaning out program with additional cardio. Today's workouts; 30 minutes running Chest: Push Ups (really trying to improve how many I can do, bodyweight strength is so impressive) Incline Bench (Drop Sets) Pec Dec Flyes Decline Bench Biceps: EZ Barl Curls Hammer Curls On top of this I do my 2.5 mile walk to work in the evening and 2.5 miles back in the evening. Food - so far: Breakfast- Porridge with raisins, sunflower seeds and natural sugar free blackcurrant jam (it's just like rice pudding!) Apple Quickest Bean Salad (Forks Over Knives recipe- tastiest bean salad I've ever had)
