Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

I was able to knock out 30 min cardio this morning ( elliptical home gym!)..... Got word my dad was arriving sooner from OK than expected!!! Somes better than none right?!?

For lunch, to my surprise, my hugely omnivore Dad agreed that a salad with veggies and bowl of black Caribbean style beans sounded good!! I was proud of the both of us!!

Dinner tonight was Mexican at a fav restrarant - I stuck to my usual veggie enchiladas w/ side rice and beans!!! NO margarita for me ( huge success here!) water only.....I did eat more chips than planned!

I did have my self- required 4 fruits today! Hooray!
Tomorrow- a run is in order as the weather will be nice!

Thursday: (logged day 3)

Beautiful day in KC
Ran 3 miles outside!
35 min (includes 2min walk warmup)
Stretch 1O min post cardio

Nutrition: on track though I added one small block 72% dark chocOlate for dessert- still hard give up my sweets!

This weekend, I'm going to get my tri training program together.

Day 4 logged:
Todays workout consisted of 10 min elliptical warmup followed by 30 min body weight circuit training at my home gym then 10 min stretch! I did exercises that focused on core & legs- arms tomorrow along with a run!
Tonight, we are off to Cotton Bowl watch party...... I've made hummus & black bean dip- oil free!!! Veggies are chopped as well..... I'll be feasting on this as my omnivore friends have chili & sliders! My vice tonight..... Sangria! I will at least do a 50/50mixture club soda & wine! I've been hydrating all day as well as tonight I plan to keep water in hand!
Cheers to Friday and good health and great friends!

Day 5 logged:

30 min elliptical (increased resistance to 6 from usual 3/4)

10 min easy walk treadmill (3.5mph)

10 min cool down stretch

Sore after yesterday's leg/core workout-I can tell which muscles are WEAK!

Diet - only 3 servings of fruit so far; I made a new bean soup tonight! Delicious!
Rehdrating today after last nights indulgence in sangria!

Thanks for keeping a journal here.

How was your visit with your Dad? Hope you have an awesome weekend.

All the best!

-Robert

The visit with my Dad was nice.....we spent hours chatting about good times in my old hometown of about 1100 people (he stills resides there!) I was reminded of how fortunate I am to be where I am today!!
