Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Oooo, ice skating, roller skating, or skateboarding?
We might wanna be thinking about a vegan roller derby team...

Roller skating yeah. There aren't really many places to go around here, besides the street, and I prefer having a nice smooth surface. The place we go to is mainly kids, and they have like 1 hour of figure skating classes, then they have 1 hour of "fun" which is what we go to... just skating around and sometimes they play some games that we join in with. I don't know if we look like paedophiles, it's like 90% girls aged 4-10 or something, then us (4 guys aged 26-30).

FOOD:
Breakfast: Oats, soymilk, dates, vitamins
Post-workout: Protein shake, 250ml of energy drink
Afternoon: 2 carrots, 1 stick of celery
Afternoon: Protein shake
Evening: Small bowl of oats
Evening: Kidney beans

TRAINING:
Back and biceps, traps
11 mins on bike - I forgot my water bottle today, and so I felt drained. Did 10 minutes of pretty full on biking though, 1 minute cool off at the end

Guy who runs the gym recommended that I get 50g of simple carbohydrates after my workout. So I am having a 250ml of glucose drink after the workout to see how that goes. That's 200 calories :/ don't really want to add calories into my diet right now, but I can see his point.

FOOD:
Breakfast - Oats, vitamins
Post-workout - energy drink & protein shake
Afternoon - protein shake
Afternoon - Kidney beans
Evening - Some peanuts
Evening - Beans, protein shake

TRAINING:
Chest, triceps, shoulders
20 minutes interval training on bike

Clothes are fitting me better now that I have lost a bit of fat. These clothes in these photos weren't fitting me so well a few months ago, pretty tight, now they pretty much fit me so I can wear them again.

Went to my friend's house yesterday, who has lots of cats. I had run out of allergy tablets though, but I decided to risk it anyway... but turns out that I really do need those tablets! I was sneezing and itchy, and basically felt like crap all of yesterday and went to bed at about 7pm. Today I feel a bit better but have a sore throat, I'm sick of it. Hopefully it'll go away soon

EDIT:

I am still fucked, had no training since last week, this sucks! At least I am out of bed though

Oh just saw this. I am getting better, I went to the gym today. Could feel that I am not quite recovered, as I was a bit dizzy, and still a bit dizzy now after coming home. I did eat before I went, and I had an energy drink afterwards, to keep my carbs up. But I am glad I went, hopefully I can get back to it and beat the rest of the flab

TRAINING:
Took it easy, did a variety of things; lat pull-down, resistance row, reverse sit ups, bicep curls, hammer curls, high reps on the incline smith press, and then 20 minutes gentle on the bike.

Thanks for all your help lately man. It's a busy time. I know you haven't been feeling well either, so I appreciate your time and energy always and as of late.

All the best man, get back to feeling well soon!

I went back to the gym today, it has been a while now. I felt light-headed and a bit sick again, but I am going to keep going and get through it, get back into routine.

Today I did back, biceps and some legs, hopefully will go again on Wednesday and and do chest and see how I feel then

Okay, went back today again. Didn't feel sick or dizzy, but numbers are down understandably since I haven't been at it for a number of weeks. Did alright. Bench, pec-deck, shoulder raises, tricep extensions, crunches, bike. Had my protein with me, and had some energy drink. I love the taste of this energy drink it's the best! I am glad it is vegan that they have at the gym, but I have to stop myself drinking all of it.
