Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

had a nice stretching set and noticed that I wanted to jump into a workout.
played around with 10 lb dumbells. hitting every angle i can. slowly. then slow punches with the dumbells. and kicks. listening to music, Then I did the shaolin warrior workout again. good 1/2 hour or so. I still have trouble with good form. but I feel stronger than when I first started. Still on beginner course. Im doing it slow as to focus on good form.
then went out with my dog for a decently long run. my run was too long. gotta learn to pace myself.

The moral is once you start stretching, it may motivate you to work out...

BREAkfast: veggie burger, carrots, orange juice w calcium,apple. coffee. stretching. im really stiff from yesterday but that stretch loosened me up feels good.
lunch veggie dog, brown rice. white tea

started off with some weights but major muscles felt totaly spent from yesterday. my midsection was fine though so did a half hour of slowish crunches. wasnt really in good form though, need to change something...but what?

dinner : more pasta. almonds. coffee again. and it was white pasta. ugh. need to eat more veggies tommorow.
well now its midnight its tommorow. and I have had some good rest tonight. hopefully im up for something today. It feels good to be motivated to want to work out so soon. last year at this time I was sitting around smoking cigarrettes all day.
I can see how resting is important.

Hi your log is looking great. Keep up with the hard work

Where are you from ?

im 32 years old and from MD, USA. And I have been slipping last week, by not doing my log. Also not doing excercise. for shame!
I was this close to quitting <--> but it was eating me up, i cant give up!
so I decided I would start off by testing my maxiumum limits.

max pushups= at about 20 pushups i just drop haha. sad.
max situps= at about 40 situps i lose good form and turn to jelly
35 lb wieght ;
curls = about 15
overhead press = about 15
tricep press = just a few, can hardly controll the weight
squat = only 10, i was exhausted by this point

so i have nowhere to go but up! or down, but lets not do that.
late night snack : wheat roll , black beans, coffee
the plan for tommorow is a wide variety of things but not too much of anything. some running some wieghts , some stretching,

breakfast: brown rice ,black beans , broccolli , banana

went for a long walk w the dog , then a bike ride. my legs are really jellowY
stretched.

.lunch = brown rice burrito w jalepenos rice wine vinegar
sweet peppers carrot
dinner = wheat pasta edamame beans broccolli
i need to cook a little more creatively
was pretty tired just from the bike, walk and the heat, so i fell a bit short of my goals. slept a lot. today i think i wana try as much variety as i can.

Don't quit U CAN DO THIS!
