My workout:

Biceps and Triceps: 4 sets of 12 reps exercises. 3 exercises per muscle group.

Cardio: Walking uphill at 8%incline for 30 minutes (low intensity today)

 

Total exercise: 1 hr, 30 min lifting, 30 min. cardio.

 

Any thoughts??

My goal is to put on a lil muscle b4 leaning out. I am 5'1.5'' and weight 120lbs. I am 5-10lbs too much on this frame and the farthest I have ever been to being lean. I struggle the most with my vegan diet and understanding how to lean out on it. While on meat, I never struggled. I am 31years old and have been vegan for 1.5 years. Thanks everyone in advance for any advice!

Hey Everyone!

I am so happy to be back, had some login trouble and didn't get it resolved till now!! So here's the diet for today...

 

BF: Vega Sport Protein with water, 1 rice cake unsalted

Snack: (postworkout) Vegan " (usually I have a banana also, but today was crazy)

Lunch: green leafy salad with vinegar and oil, 1 veggie burger

Snack: Amy's bean burrito

Dinner: 3 bean soup with pasta and tomato type broth

 

Today was not stellar in the eating department, I need to clean things up a bit more. My goal is put on a bit more muscle in the next two months,then lean out like a bad ass! haha. Any thoughts on this process would be appreciated as always.

 

Todays workout was legs.

What I ate today:

 

BFast: Vega Sport Protein mixed in water, banana

Snack: 1/2 vegan protein bar

Lunch: Spring mix with vinegar and oil, 1 Morning star vegan patty

Snack: skipped today,

Dinner: Too much Vegan "quesidilla", veggie burger on white bread, yam fries..just bad. I ate too much because I skipped my mid-afternoon meal and we had friends over for "take out" dinner. Between my 2 daughters running around and trying to hold a conversation, I was just inhaling food. This was a high calorie dinner.

 

On top of that, today was a rest day! What do you guys do to make up for a poor eating day? Do you do extra cardio/workout?
