laurak11 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (edited) Ok so I posted in the intro section a couple days ago and I'm finally getting my journal started! Not sure how the contest works but I've been injured the last month and just had surgery on my foot so I haven't been working out the last couple of weeks. I'm finally able to at least do upper body and ab workouts and actually have something to journal Here's my stats: Location (City, State, Country): Cleveland, OH, USAGender:FAge:29 ht: 6'0 wt 154.4New Year’s Resolution Goal: to lose 5 pounds and get a lean but muscular physique (I really want a 6-pack!) and get back into triathlon training when my foot heals.Start Date: today 1/15/12Desired Achievement Date: 5/1/11Past workout History: 2X ironman, 7 marathons, 2 ultra marathons, enjoy yoga, pilates, RUNNING!Biggest Obstacles: alcoholFavorite Foods: salads, veggies of all kinds, nut butters, sweet potatoesFavorite Exercises: pilates, coreCurrent training frequency: injured early dec, had to stop running so I did 3-4 days cycling, 1-2 hr swimming, pilates 3 times a week, yoga once/wkAny injuries: had foot surgery 1/6/11, no weight bearing on it for 2-3 weeks .... so I plan i focusing I stregthening arms, core, and limited legs execises After bobbing back and forth b/w a diet that included meat and dairy and a vege diet I decided to fully commit to vegan while injured.
