SaraTonin Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Tried the Vega Sport this morning and I loved it!! Also sipped on the electrolyte hydrator during cardio and had the chocolate protein for breakfast. Best chocolate protein yet!! 30 minutes doing interval training on the treadmill and 30 on the elliptical. 50 reps Lat pull downs, 25 reps pec machine, 50 reps dip machine and 50 reps mid row. My shoulders are sore!! Merry Hempster hot muscle rub is my pal today. Maybe some free weights if I have the energy tonight. Can't wait to try Vega endurance gel when the weather is nice enough for a long run!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraTonin Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 So sore today. Coming down with a cold. Resting up for tomorrow. Going to try the Vega Pre-Workout in the a.m. Just had the Chocolate Whole Health Optimizer. Delicious. Vega really has the chocolate favors down. Now for lots of vitamin c. If still feeling under the weather tomorrow I will skip cardio and do alot of weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraTonin Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 What a bummer. My head cold is even worse. I really thought that if I told myself I would feel ok to work out I would. Today will be spent eating lots of cleansing foods and drinking tons of water and resting so I can powerhouse the gym tomorrow!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaraTonin Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 As much as I tried to think I would be fine this morning to hit the gym, I am not. Head cold has got me, bad. Today will be spend doing crunches ad light weights at home and eating cleansing foods with tons of water and tea. Tomorrow will be better!!

SaraTonin Posted January 30, 2012 Author Share Posted January 30, 2012 Still sick but just did 3 hours at the gym!! I thank Vega Pre-Workout Energizer. Holy Crap!! This stuff is amazing and the lemon-lime (as ugly as it is) is amazing tasting. Was bummed I am out of Vega Peotein Chocolate Powder but my other favorite is Rainbow Light Protein Energizer in vanilla or chocolate. I add a teaspoon of cacao powder to make it more chocolate-y. Going to order the Vanilla Chai Vega Protein tomorrow. So, did intervals on the treadmill (30 minutes) and elliptical (45 minutes) and did another 2 miles on the treadmill. Sister showed me some great stretches and my brother-in-law showed me some lower back work outs. Abs and legs today. Low weight and high reps. 2 mile walk. Stretching then done for the day!!

itsjustrobbieok Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Legs and abs. Hour of cardio. I had been eyeing the barbell the whole time and when I asked a member of the staff to show me how to hold it an stand correctly he said the bar alone was too heavy for me to try and that I was too new. Now I am too mad and embarrassed to try. I should have popped him one.. WHAT! Too new??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaraTonin Posted February 1, 2012 Author Share Posted February 1, 2012 I get home every night from work at 9:30pm. Quick dinner, make lunch an dinner for the next day an got to bed by 10:30pm. Up at 5:55am to hit the gym for an hour and a half. Get home around 8:15am, shower and catch the 9:20am train into the city. It's all worth it for my job and my health!! Some down time with my awesome cat and with my boyfriend would be fantastic. I am not even as tired as I should be at the end of the day an I have being vegan to thank for that. Today was cardio half hour on treadmill and a half hour on elliptical. Leg machines 50 reps inner and outer thighs hip extensions 25 inner and outer each leg and leg lifts. Ab machine 25 each side and sit ups and crunches when I get home. Worth it for the tempeh buffalo wings and spinach dip being made for the Super Bowl!!

SaraTonin Posted February 4, 2012 Author Share Posted February 4, 2012 Thank you. This forum has helped me learn so much even after 10 years of being vegan!! Diet is a huge part in keeping healthy but I was void of the other part for so long. Exercise has changed me for the better. This is forever.
