zucchini pasta looooks so yummy

SUCH A TASTY. I am an addict. <3

Breakfast: 1 cup light choc soymilk, 3 bananas, 1 scoop chocolate Vega Whole Meal Optimizer, 3/4 cup frozen strawberries

5 bananas
6 clementines
some strawberries
1 grapefruit
1 mini choc chip cookie dough Larabar

1 smoothie made with Sunwarrior choc flavored warrior protein, 3 bananas, unsweetened soymilk mixed with choc Santa Cruz choc syrup, 1/2 cup frozen strawberries.

I tried THREE TIMES to make myself dinner and kept failing every time. I need more practical, quick ways to do tasty dinners, especially including salad. I'm failing at SALAD. I'm too used to fatty dressings and was trying to reasonably prepare a meal while starving besides. Doesn't work!! I wind up craving fatty, heavy things to satiate me and can't make something reasonable. So after the insanity I just made the damned smoothie.

Workout:
ChaLEAN Extreme Burn Circuit 1

Tonight is more ChaLEAN Extreme! CAN'T WAIT

Had to work until almost 9pm tonight. Starved. Met up with other vegans at Veggie Galaxy, had a club sandwich and a few fries. I don't think I've eaten fries in over a month. Maybe two.

I'll be doing tonight's workout tomorrow morning, then the workout for that day at night. Right now...I am collapsing, and grateful that I have tomorrow off.

Since I'll be at a scifi/fantasy convention all weekend, I'm taking my workout with me. I plan to keep up with it while away! Yay.

Oh yeah, I had my usual today but with two honeybell oranges. Mmm. Honeybells. <3

Veggie Galaxy, SciFi convention, We need to get out and hang with you. It's a bit challenging bc we are about 35min away. I'm sure we shall meet soon. Perhaps for some Teavana

Oh and Zucchini Pasta is awwwesome

Tea is squee. And I'm totally addicted now to zucchini pasta.

You should totally go to Arisia!!

Just did ChaLEAN Extreme's Burn Circuit 2, and my legs and arms are still shaking. Wooooow.

On a plus note--my triceps are now up to 15 lbs!!!! I remember back when I worked those up to 10 and was so proud.

I also did 15s for deadlifts, but it turned out they were too light--I'll be using 20s next time.

If I can manage it at the hotel, am doing Burn Intervals and Ab Burner. My arms and glutes feel like they took a beating. This exercise program is amazing!

Beyond a LOT of walking and running around carrying heavy bags of books (especially today, ouch) I've had NO time to work out while at the convention. Meh. I plan to switch out the two rest days this week with this weekend and just plow through.

Eating-wise, I didn't do too badly either.

Your journal is awesome. I am envious of your P90X workouts. I keep hearing about them. I also might be visiting Boston this Summer for an internship, so we'll have to meet up if I do. I love that city, it's my favorite!

Thanks, I'd love that!:D

Beyond leftover tofu curry with steamed rice noodles, I've not eaten much today. I have a bag of fruit I plan to go through. I desperately miss fruit. Ran out at the convention and got tired of eating nothing but bananas and oranges besides. Heh.

I will be redoing CLX's week 1 starting this weekend and in the meantime doing random workouts. The convention was awesome but insane.

Anyhow, something I didn't post yesterday...I am down one job. In other words, was laid off yesterday.

Plenty of time now to devote to getting my ass into shape!

Did 30 pushups and delt work. Would've done a longer workout, but already two interviews today. Gah.
