Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

I now have 2 friends with cancer who did everything right, are doing everything right and who may not be here someday. It infuriates me when we occasionally get the snake oil/magic food/magic diet people posting on this forum saying that they have a cure. One of my friends squandered most of her savings on that alternative crap out of desperation to avoid chemo. It just makes me so mad. These people don't realize that it is not a game or enthusiasm to many people.

Word. Just email him back and write that you don't feel comfortable giving out your phone number because it isn't 100% yours, you share it with your boyfriend. That will let this guy know where you and him stand, quickly and politely.

Sometimes there's nothing you can do to prevent cancer. It can be genetic, or environmental, or easily attack a person who's been stressing themselves for many years. What makes me mad is that these alternative medicine quacks say that doctors are lying about their "cures" because they'll lose money. Wtf?

Hey Marcina. just popping in to say hello (almost typed "pooping in" oops.) i havent been on the forum enough lately due that crummy little thing called life. Just wanted to check in. glad youre still rocking on sista. when you gonna get down to pdx and say hello girlie?

I keep bugging Silvio to take me down cuz he likes Portland. I've never been there. Only driven past it.

He used to go there to race motorcycles. I think he busted his collarbone there hahaha!

Yeah, life sucks. I hear you guys are having a hard time finding work? Me too. I'm afraid to look at my credit card bill since I put Christmas on it. I'm ready to work just about anywhere as long as I get paid. There's a pizza joint that serves authentic Italian cuisine that I'm thinking of applying at. They pay from $10-11 an hour. Dude. That's more than I made as a VOA!! They have this awesome vegan pizza there too. It's also close.

Hope to hear back from you and come by for a visit soon!

Hey hey hey!
I've been keeping up with my workouts pretty consistently these days. It's great. I write down my workouts in my little journal rather than type it on here all the time. I do a lot of workouts so it takes awhile to type it all out... and frankly, I'm too lazy to do that!

At the gym I've been doing full body workouts. It's great! Last Saturday I helped my mom move so I didn't go to the gym that day. It was enough of a workout lifting heavy boxes and furniture. My shoulder is sore from it actually.. Gotta keep stretchin it!

Last night I did a workout at home. Deep squats, split squats, deadlifts, etc. Today I cleaned my house.

Sorry I left you behind and didn't take you to Hawaii with me................I'll likely be in BC in April, if not before and I'll let you know.

Have a great one!

LOL! This cold is really getting to me man! The sun is out today but everything is all icy. It's so cold my boyfriend's cat has to sleep under the covers right beside me.. Or he sleeps on top of me. It was very hard to sleep last night. THEN this morning everyone left their dogs outside for the day and they're all barking. I'm so tired..

Lately I've been going to the gym every 2-3 days. It kicks ASS! I'm getting so strong now.
Dec.29th,2008 I was doing standing calf raises with 80 pounds. Now I'm doing them with 115.

My squats have improved too, and my deadlifts. I've been working on my legs a lot since they are the least developed part of my body. I'm noticing results already and it hasn't been a month yet.

Of course, my workout is absolutely intense. Here's what today's looked like for example:

Stiff legged deadlift: 3 sets of 10 at 54 pounds

Hack Squat (with barbell) this was awkward so I only did 1 set with 54 pounds. 10 reps.

Moved onto Smith Machine squats: 3 sets of 10 at 70 pounds (ya i know, it's sad but better than the 50 i was doing before!)

Then I went to the hack squat machine (I Love This!!) And did 3 sets of 10 at 140 pounds.

For calves I did standing leg raises at 115 (2 sets of 10) and some seated calf raises at 90 pounds (2 sets of 10)

I also did some core work and low back extensions.

Man! I feel great.

Just wanted to say that I listened to Bif Naked today for the first time and I FELL IN LOVE. She's so wonderful and such a beauty too. And I just love her voice.

www.bifnaked.com. Check out her blogs! She just finished her last treatment of chemotherapy this month for breast cancer. She's one helluva woman.
There's streaming music on the site too of her latest record, "Superbeautifulmonster"
Her new album, yet to be titled, is scheduled to be released this April. Every time she releases an album she waits until it's being printed before she names it! Lol

The best part about Bif? She's a vegan and so is her doggy, Nicklas. She used to have two but lost Annastasia to cancer a few months ago.

Anywaaaays


I'm a retard.
Guess what I did today?
I went to answer the door and my cat got out, so I ran outside to get her and closed the door behind me.. and it was LOCKED!! Luckily the dude who came to the door let me use his Blackberry-type-thingy and I called Silvio at work.. Turns out there was a spare key under the stairs.

But HOLY SHIT! My heart was pounding! Palpitating! I was outside with my cat with no shoes on, wearing pajama pants with cartoon polar bears on them in the fuckin snow LOCKED OUT OF MY MOTHER FREAKIN HOUSE! AHHH! i stayed pretty calm though, laughing my way through it. The guy who let me use his phone thought I was joking.. But I was dead serious. I just laugh in sticky situations cuz it keeps me from going nuts. It's a defense mechanism.

Before the madness, the guy who came to the door (I think he was a real estate agent) thought I was a kid! No lie! It must be the pants.. And the acne and the fact that I look 12... Heeheehee. He gave me a piece of paper and he's like "Give this to your mom and dad" and I said "I'll give it to my husband!" and laughed. It was pretty funny.

The vegan diet = new fountain of youth.

Polar bear pants = Great for any age.

Hey my mom has a pair. Don't judge me.

Sorry I haven't been posting.. I'll get to that later. Right now I need to VENT!!

Some little vegan prick on Facebook told me I didn't love my AND I QUOTE "nazi husband". Oooh that just made my blood boil! I get in arguments with this guy often because he is simply FUCKED in the head. He gets all wound up over dirt not being vegan (you know, cuz the worms and animal poop) but spends all day on his computer where he's zapping thousands of fish by using so much electricity.
I can tolerate him saying stuff to me, but he insulted Silvio. THAT makes me mad. I swear if that little shitstain was standing in front of me I'd kick his ass. But alas, I am the non-violent type. I'd probably just pants him and push him down and laugh.

The only reason he insulted Silvio like that is because we were talking about toothpaste. As some of you may know, Silv is a dental professional, so I asked him some questions I had about it.. Like how it cleans the teeth etc. etc.
Anyways, Mr. Know-it-all-vegan-dickhead said that I was wrong because I'm in a relationship with my "reference". AND because he eats meat (Hence the nazi comment)
Obviously he hates people who eats meat.. Which is stupid because his own mother probably does.. UGH. I wish he didn't bring my man into this. It makes me SOO ANGRY! I know I shouldn't worry about what some turd on the internet says.. and I don't unless he talks badly about someone I love so much. That's the only thing that riles me up.

Ok back to why I haven't posted in awhile.. I simply couldn't find my blog. Plus I didn't train for about two weeks cuz me and Silvio got colds.. Although I got over mine really quickly, my wisdom teeth flared up something fierce. I was unable to eat anything except mushy bland foods (like oatmeal! I went through a whole bag). And I just felt really crummy so I didn't exercise. Now I'm back at it though and I started swimming! Yesterday I went swimming with my niece. It was her first time and she had a blast! That little girl loves water!
This weekend I'm gonna be very busy. I'm making a music video for the new Bif Naked song, then I'm going to Scatterheart's CD release party, then celebrating my birthday, then going DIRTBIKING!! In the snow/rain. Lol.

What a coincidence. I also had an unpleasant exchange with a naive know-it-all vegan tonight too. Once I saw where the conversation was going I told her that she was going to have an "interesting" life (with the attitude ) and I wished her happy times.

Blech.

People really suck sometimes. Screw em'. The Dirtbiking sounds EXCELLENT. I have always wanted to get on one but never have. Enjoy that

Didn't know Silvio was a dental professional. My mom's a dental asst.

Super funny but probably very aggravatin turn of events with the last post. That must have been ridiculous. I am known for doing similar type things constantly.

Wisdom teeth pulling is the worst. I had two taken out 1 1/2 yrs ago. Got two more left. Hopefully they don't give me probs. One keeps growing in every once in awhile and gets painful but it's fine for the most part.

BIF NAKED VIDEO..... YEAAAAAAAA

I like the do it to me now song. Love the message

Ohh Funeral Of A Good Grrl! That songs rawks.

Check out her site to learn about the new video (very fan interactive) contest and new song. www.bifnaked.com

It's a great new track called "I Won't Cry (Fuck You 2) hahaha!

And beforewisdom.. I wish I could come up with simple statements that are mature, yet get a point across.. I just say "FUCK YOUUU!!!" and have a fit.. Cuz I saw red.. I normally don't get that angry. It's odd for me. And well, I enjoy teasing other people. I know I reacted out of context but.. I just couldn't help myself. That guy bugs me so much. He thinks unborn babies are "parasites".. and he has kids.. That's nice to know. Nobody ever passes a tape worm and dresses them up in clothes and feeds them. I don't know how anyone can compare a child to a parasite.. That's sick.

ANYWAY!! Enough of that. I need to make my video!
