  2. Hello Mike and welcome, I love your forum name! It's just spending a bit of time researching and relearning which may seem a chore at first but I can assure you once that process is out the way you won't even have to think about it anymore, you'll just shop and eat vegan on autopilot like the rest of us do. As I am sure you will have seen there are enough vegan professional athletes and extreme workout addicts to prove it will give you everthing you need. Your balance will vary according to your goals, Robert Cheeke, Brendon Blaizer and Scott Jurek all do differnt fittness discaplines so their percentages with vary but they are all vegan fuelled. Enjoy this journey, and keep us updated, think about started and log in the journal section. All the best
  3. Hey Greenprotien I'm based in the Midlands, Leicester to be exact, I love Leicester - it's a great City. Sounds like you are doing great with your training - have you started a journal on the forum yet? You also you might find that you just love a certain lift and get a thirst for challanging yourself on it. This is really easy with powerlifts, I became a very enthusiastic deadlifter at one point, I totally had the buzz for it getting my lift to the top end of the "intermediate" catorgory for my sex and weight and therfore bordering on an "advanced" lift. The deadlift is a great lift that works a lot of muscles IF it's done correctly. It's best to invest in a bit of 1-to-1 coaching beforehand on correct form otherwise you could end up doing what I had to do, drop my weights back and spend time correcting bad form which was a bit frustraiting and could have been avoided. I'm getting an itch to learn a clean and curl so am going to get a 1-to-1 session this month on it. Let me know if you have a journal! All the best Verity
  4. It’s been one of those days! I’ve not trained which means I have a session to make up later in the week, doable just not ideal (or very disciplined!) Another fruit heavy food diary that shows large gaps for improvement! Milkshake – 1 banana, 1 glass of soya milk, 1 scoop of raw cacao 1 banana Cup of sprouted sunflower seeds 3 wholemeal bread rolls with vegan pesto 1 banana 1 bar of raw chocolate 4 apples
  5. OMG - could I be fit enough for 2015 - and would you like a singing Brit on the team!?
  6. Sunday’s tend to be my “eat whatever I like” day although I want to phase this our really and be healthy all the time. I’m hoping by the end of Aug I will have ditched the Sunday fry up! Considering all my days were junk day before this week I've not done too bad! 1 banana 4 majool dates 2 slices of fried bread, baked beans, grilled tomatoes, boiled mushrooms, 1 hash brown, brown sauce, salt 1 large carton of vegan icecream 2 punnets of bluberries 8 marmite ricecakes No training today, looking forward to some swim training tomorrow
  7. No training today Total walking today probably totalled 5-6 miles Sticking to a healthy diet felt a bit of a struggle but managed a reasonable one. I’ll be glad when my busy weekend is out they way and looking forward to including a healthy salad and veg dish and snacks so my diet is not so fruit heavy, much as I love it!!! . Banana and 2 majool dates 120g of fresh coconut flesh Fresh soup with handful of chopped spinach and 3 slices of wholemeal bread 1 majool date I banana 2 bags of soya crispies (they are like flavoured rice cakes but high in protein) 1 trek bar 1 banana
  8. Thank you PhytoAthlete I think it's my sweet tooth that loves the fruit so much, some weeks I think I could be a frutarian lol - certainly on taste alone! I'll get planning some nice vegetable based dishes and salad including some cruciferious vegetables. Thanks for the input. Today has been a testing day to say the list, lots of things have gone wrong and I've felt totally fed up - and when I feel like that I tend to reach for junk food. Luckily I maintianed a clean diet even it it was still a fruit heavy one! Training Total of 14 lengths (350m) swimming. Mix of front crawl and breast stroke, rested a little after most laps as my swimming needs a lot of work! General walking 4-5miles Food diary Milkshake made of 2 small bananas, soya milk and raw cacoa powder Bar of raw chocolate Prepacked wholefoods salad 500ml of unpasteurised orange juice Prepaked wholefoods salad 2 large bananas 4 majool dated
  9. Training 16km/10mile bike training in the gym 60 crunches with 5kg medicine balls 1 hour group swim session with Leicester Triathlon Club Overall walking probably about 4 miles Food diary 2 bananas 1 courgette (spiralized),1 handful of spinach leaves, 1 handful of salad leaves + 1 dessert spoon of cider vinegar + 1 table spoon of vegan pesto 1 bar of raw chocolate 1 Banana 3 trek bars
  10. Hello Yeti, I love your positive attitude. I agree in that we can be many things all at once, specialisation is one way that suits many but being multi trained is another way that also suits many and strength, agility, stamina, speed, endurance is absolutely possible in the same person. There aren't just triathlons but pentathlons and heptathlons. I am fascinated by endurance so really feel you on this - it's why I want to do Ironman - it may take me 2 or 3 years but I have to do it - for me I'm just hungry for that complete endurance exeriance. You will get to your goal because endurance is a lot about the mind and believing you can do it. Last year I did a 24 hour event in the UK called TR24, I did not run continously as some did although it was never my goal to run non-stop, I had a milage goal instead which I made, mainly because in training there was never a doubt in my mind I would not make the milage I set for myself - and it was a high placed goal. I expect you will already have heard of vegan endurance runner Scott Jurek, he writes quite a few articles that may help you. The best of luck Yeti

  12. This sounds amazing, thanks for sharing as I often get stuck in a same-old-food rut. I won't be able to get squeezed ginger juice but I'll try it with grated fresh ginger - I don't mind a few bits/lumps!
  13. Hello from me in the UK. Good luck with your training
