On another note, I've been following Jamie Eason's Live Fit 12 week program, I'm on week 6 now. I'm kind of following the nutrition guidelines that aren't vegan friendly, and making substitutions here and there. But there's a problem here: I've started to lose weigh and I don't want that to happen. And the minute I eliminate cardio and increase food intake (in the form of starchy carbs I admit) I start to grow a pouch. I still look thin, but with a flabby pouch!!! :'-(
So that's basically the situation here: once an obese omnivore, now a scrawny vegan... well at least I have biceps that can be seen when I flex, LOL. But I want my arms bigger. And my legs. And the cuts. I want it all.
Enough of my worries already, let's get into the juicy stuff here: today's workout and diet.
Went to the gym at 6:00am, with two young kids there isn't any other time. This was my workout today:
Back and Cardio
Pullups 3/10 (negatives and assisted)
Superset: 3/8
Bent over bb row (EZ bar 20lbs weight discs)
Seated cable rows (60 lbs)
Normal sets:
Wide grip lat pulldowns 3/10 (50lbs)
One Arm DB row 3/8 (30lbs)
Hammer Strength lat pulldown 3/10 (40lbs)
Hyperextension 3/8 (25lbs weight disc)
Elliptical: 30 minute moderate cardio
When I was done, drank soy protein shake mixed with favored water.
Meal 1: 3/4 cup oatmeal, 2 tablespoons of milled flaxseeds, soy milk
Meal 2: 1 banana, 1 tablespoon of peanut butter
Meal 3: TVP styrfry (with broccoli, tomatoes, carrots and stringbeans) seasoned with fresh onions, garlic, basil, soysauce and a teaspoon of olive oil (poured after cooked)
sweet potato(about the size of my fist) boiled with skin
Meal 4: Another soy protein shake
Meal 5: whole wheat roll w/peanut butter, a cup of fresh avocado
Meal 6: 1 cup of TVP styrfry with avocado and tomato salad.
Well that was it... I hope I'm not trashing in the kitchen what I'm doing in the gym!
