Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

Ack! What a loser. I feel sorry for his children. Maybe somebody can start a fund now, that has compounding interest so his children can afford psychotherapy when they grow up.

Every once in a while I handle people like that perfectly. They don't get under my skin at all and I politely get myself out of my conversation before it robs any time out of my life. I'm not perfect. Plenty of times I still get sucked into those things, I still get worked up and I still let it rob time from things I enjoy. The thing to do is to accept that you are not perfect and it is going to happen.

Even if you/I can't avoid staying out of those things and staying emotionally clean you can always cut those conversations short to cut your losses. That is the beauty of the internet. Push a button, make a nuisance go away.

Plenty of good music to rock out to, plenty of good books to read.

Aww you guys ^^

Thanks so much!

I vowed to stay away from forums (Except this one!) so that I won't go crazy. I'll just draw when I get bored.

Tonight I went to a CD release party for one of my fave bands, Scatterheart. I've been seeing them since they first started out. Doug Fury from Bif's old band line-up is in Scatterheart. I also saw other ex Bif Naked band members too like Scotty McCarger and Gillian Hanna (who's a good friend of mine!). It was so much fun! Now I got a new CD to listen to. It's all about the Love Rock Revolution! Very peaceful music. I recommend you guys checking them out on Myspace (www.myspace.com/scatterheartband) and listen to "THE FREE". Reminds me of animals.

Cheers!

Good morning, beautiful people!
Well I am writing to you early early early.. 2 am to be exact. My neighbors decided to play some music (or a movie with a lot of music in it) with their subwoofer on.. Woke me up! There's no way I'll get back to sleep, after all I went to bed at 9!
I'd like to thank Giacamo and Tasha for the birthday wishes! I don't have my birthday posted, so I don't know how they found out! Probably Myspace. Thanks so much guys!
I slept most of my birthday. I celebrated on Saturday with my family and friends at the local pub. It was a blast! We had karaoke and lots of drinks and food. I had the veggie platter (very fresh veggies! Mmmm) and some fries.. Which made me bloated lol. And of course.. DRINKS!! I got some birthday shots from my mom. Thanks mom!
I also got gig neck.
So that's why on Sunday, I was very tired and slept most of the day. Or at least tried to.. Heheheh. Some friends took me out for supper and I ordered a portabello mushroom burger without mayo/cheese/etc and it came back with MAYO! I sent it back of course.. But not after hungry piggie me devoured half of it before noticing! I didn't order anything else after that and went home and straight to bed! I was feeling very crummy. Rightfully so after polluting my body with animal fats! YUCK!
It happens to everyone. I'm just grateful I didn't get sick at the restaurant.

Listening to lots of Scatterheart and filling my head with positive thoughts.

I'll get back to working out today!

Did lunges yesterday.

Today my ass hurts.

Hey, hope you had a very happy birthday!:occasion6:

This cracked me up!

BLAAAH!!

I'm so depressed. I've had this nasty cold for over a week now. It started off just feeling kinda run down and tired all the time. I didn't want to do much but I still worked out at home. My diet has been crummy for the past few months to be honest. I'm not eating lots of junk food or anything, just not many calories and not enough fresh stuff. Last Monday I woke up with the cold from hell! And of course, being sick I can't work out. Double bummer. I can tell I've lost a little weight by looking in the mirror. My sleep schedule is totally out of whack cuz I sleep when I can.. Which is basically when my sinuses decide to give me a break.

Anyways, to kick this cold I've been relying solely on echinacea. I'm still very stuffed up and not sure when it will be good for me to go to the gym again. I don't think I'm contagious anymore but I don't wanna go to the gym and wake up the next day with a relapse!
Sometimes I miss working out so much that I think "Oh maybe I'll just get down on the floor and do a few pushups.." Haha!

Anyhow, that's my update.

Yup. So not working out for the past two weeks has taken a real toll on my state of mind. I'm bored. I'm restless. I've got ants in my pants!!

The other day I wanted to see if I could still lift Silvio. I can! But not without gimping my hip
So for a few days I hobbled around feeling like a dorkstick for injuring myself and goofing around! Feels much better today though.

Every time I look in the mirror I see a skinny little skeleton. I keep asking Silvio "Am I skinnier? Did I lose weight?" and he laughs and says I'm silly cuz I still look the same to him. I swear I shrunk though. I feel so puny and weak!

I've been having stomach issues for the past week or so. I don't know if it's side effects from the meds the doc gave me (which I stopped taking) or if it's from my cold.. Or IBS. I've been eating a diet consisting of bananas, toast and oatmeal. Really boring. And for some reason I really like pickles. It's like I'm pregnant but not.

Anyways my goal is to hit the gym on Saturday and start eating again. I worry my little tummy shrunk even more and it's going to be hard to gain back the weight I think I lost.. Lol!

I worked out tonight and I feel SOOOOO good! Just did upper body. Did it at home.
I had the WORST migraine today. I was on birth control pills for awhile.. For years. Anyways, they started giving me acne and stuff so the doctor gave me a new kind, but the new kind make me sick to my stomach and very very depressed. So I stopped taking them. I've decided not to take anymore birth control pills ever again. I can't deal with the hormone fuckage and the guilt of taking a non-vegan, unfriendly-to-the-environment medication.
Anyways, my hormones going back to normal is what caused my migraine I think. It lasted like 18 hours. NASTAY! I was incapacitated for most of the day.

Now I gotta figure out what to use for birth control. I wonder if I can get an IUD? My doctor said they won't do them on women my age but I don't wanna screw around with my hormones anymore. It can't be healthy. I apologize to the men reading this about me bitching about my girly problems

In other news, I saw "The Dark Knight" last night. Kick ass movie. I love movies with lots of action and fighting and stuff. So weird. For my birthday I got a Rambo box set. Now I want the Rocky one but it's 50 bucks!! Ouch.

So now that I'm off the birth control pills I've noticed some strength gains. Also my acne is GONE! My skin hasn't been this clear since I was 11 years old. It's SAWEEEET!
My weight is still the same after my "bulking" session this winter. I just couldn't manage to increase my strength. Training was tough during those times. I couldn't always make it to the gym because of the big dumping of snow we got!
Anyways, I think I look more muscular than I did a few months ago. I'm starting to show some vascularity. I'm squatting 160 pounds which is the most I've ever been able to do. I currently weigh 114. I'm benching 75 pounds now, whereas before I was benching 30.

Things are looking up! Despite the troll that's been hanging around insulting me and the other ladies on here.. I say troll because she tells everyone how ripped she is but has no pics to back it up. Can she be banned or something? Srsly. We don't need any egos around here. It's good to be proud of your efforts like Robert, Jimi, and Giacamo, but they aren't arrogant. I may not be some bulging, ripped, She-Hulk, but I work hard to get in shape. I've come a long way the past few years.

Here are some photos. I'll have to say that my area with the most improvement is my shoulders ^^

Bicep


Shouldah's!!!


Legs. Still hate them


Loook how clear my skin is!!


Abs. Hopefully get more defined as I cut some bodyfat

I think you look great!

Thanks you guys ^^

Yeah, my skin just recently cleared up like that. Guess my hormones are back to normal. Woohoo! I hope I don't jinx it by celebrating and end up with a big fat one tomorrow haha!

Been drinking tons of water too.

Life is good.

I am so friggin OBSESSED with that rude woman who just joined recently. No introduction, just starts jumping into forums and badmouthing people.. And I retaliated. I apologize to the people who had to read that. It's just not like me to sit back and let other people bully me. I was bullied a lot at a young age by people who just have no couth.. Just like that. I used to sit back and ignore it hoping it would go away but it got WORSE. For the sake of my own sanity I just had to stand up and stick up for myself.

I work hard, I don't need to take that shit! Like that song "We're Not Gonna Take It" by Twisted Sister. Well I'm not gonna take it! People like that make me SICK! You know it's good to be confident and believe in yourself, but not if you have to belittle others to feel that way. It's just not right.

Anyways, I'm going to post the conversation we had in private for everyone to see because there are 2 sides to every story. I feel that if I post it up, if anyone wants to see it, they can see for themselves what really happened. I had to think about this a bit because I clearly made an ass out of myself purely out of anger. So here it is:

It started with me sending her this message:



Then I got this:



And I replied with this:



And I got this back:




And that's the whole story.
