Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

No not my llama or grapes.... I do have 40 acres with some grapes & plan on planting more:). My land is next to a large organic Sustainable biodynamic vineyard, with sulfite free Vegan wine.

My lower back is hurting today-!!! maybe new back & abs exercises I was doing on tues.
I didnt do much of a workout today.

soy latte
pink lady apple
1 toast & jelly

Lrg salad 1/2 avocado
hazel nuts

edamame with soy sauce & lime

Good workout today, I worked with my personal trainer today.
We worked legs, hammies, glutes & lower back & abs. Still taking it easy on my right knee- argh!! I need to make an appoinment to get it checked out. I went for a nice long hike today, Steep hills & I was feeling it!
My knee was hurting tonight at work- while I was doing my cooking demo
Im looking forward to the day ahead- spending time with my daughter celebrating her upcoming 12th birthday.

Todays food intake:
soy latte
sprouted toast
protein shake green drink
salad with lots of mache greens, flax & lemon.
1/2 pb & j
red quinoa With nutritional yeast
beet slaw salad raw
chai soy latte

Seems like you should be backing off of that knee more and concentrating on some upper or abs to give it some rest.
Congrats on the Daughter B-Day, I always see it as a mother's birthday too.
Our Granddaughter will turn 13 at the end of this month.

I think your right about the knee situation Vegan Joe- thanks for the input.
Congrats about your grand daughter- it's a fun age.

We had a great day, spending time together- caught a movie and enjoyed some amazing food at a local vegan buddhist monastery restaurant.

Vegan Joe- I like your Merton quote, I have been a fan of his for years, reading all his journals... I love the New seeds of contemplation book the most-I appreciate his eastern mind set.

I had a good weekend with my daughter, as well as seeing Neal Barnard speak & work.
I went to the chiropractor yesterday, what a great adjustment!!
My neck was out, my back my knee & on & on.
My lower back & knee are still sore today from the adjustment.
I took a break today & yesterday on lower back & abs exercises.
I worked out with my trainer today upper body & arms.
lat pull downs, bench press, flys, tricep dips & pull down, biceps, shoulder press , pull ups
It is frustrating not being able to work out harder even walking today on the treadmill was painful
my knee adjustment yesterday was super painful! She said if my knee is making a crunchy sound whenI bend it like sand that it is arthritis. Has anyone heard this before?

today's diet
soy latte
vega drink
sunflower sprouts salad
italian noodles with summer squash & lots of garlic!!!
tiny piece of vegan left over bday cake
going to have a baked potato for dinner with more sunflower sprouts ( i just love them with lemon )

I have heard doctors says that osteoarthritis feels like sand grinding in the joint upon movement.

Great workout yesterday! worked with my trainer.
We mixed it up because of my knee,which is feeling a bit better after my adjustment.

Today I focused on abs today, I wanted to go for a hike but it was a rainy day.




soy latte
oatmeal & rasins
1 toast
lrg salad
2 ginger chew

Im hungry what to have for dinner?

I was in the kitchen this morning making my soy latte, I picked up a knife ( large santuko one) dropped it and sliced my leg open! ouch.
I dislike hospitals- I need stiches but thinking thta maybe I can get by with a butterfly bandage?
I hope I can still take my hike today!!

You look great!
Hope you heal quick.
