Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

45 cardio early 5 30 a.m. stair mill, all level 16 but mixed up, empty stomach

not feeling 100% on weights, came back at 2 pm
- leg day- hernia that was operated on in Nov is hurting so :
leg extensions 3 x 12 @75#
could/can't squat or lunge well my insides are killing me, so:
Squats w/ 20# dumbbells, 4 x 15
Plie squats, 4 x 25 w/ 15# dumbbells
calf work on horiz leg press, 4 x 15 - light, like 150#
butt blasters, 3 x 12 on 100#
leg curls, 4 x 12 and varied the weights between 35 and 50
50 ab curls-its all I could do

I absolutely hate when my insides hurt as it was a leg day and I love my squats and walking lunges and I couldn't. next time!

45 cardio stairmill, level 16- fat burn for 35 and interval for 10 w/ leg extensions back (technically its hips) on the slow intervals

part two is later- shoulders and traps this afternoon- or tonite

Part Two:
butt blaster...google it-- its just a regular butt blaster, guys!

another not so good day, so I had to modify it from standing to sitting on a bench for a lot, and in a hurry...liek I want OUT in 45 mins ...so I almost always split my cardio and weights and do two workouts a day. My intensity is somewhat moderate...but for me...lazy!:
Overhead shoulder press w/dumbbells 4 x 10 w/ 25
Arnold press 4 x 10 w/20
lateral raise 4 x 12 w/10
bent over fly's, 2 x 12 w/20 and 2x 12 w/22.5
upright rows 3 x 10 w/ 40 barbell
dips ( assisted) 1 x 10 w/ hardly any help 1 x 6 w hardly any help 1 x 6 with lots of help and 1 x 12 w/ lots help ( Not really, but for me, yes)
25 roman chair sit ups...feeling the hernia again...surgery was Nov, ran 6.5 HARD on NY day and have been trashed ever since. Gained 5 Lbs in a 3 week period...have lost half of it, but its diet. Found the best frozen vegan protein, non gmo, yummy soy chicken stuff ( have been eating for years in Orange county, but just now having it for sale to peeps.

Out of here!

Whats a butt blaster?! Sounds painful!

Emotionally drained and i feel fat, despite being good w/ food and cardio the entire week- and upping my protein grams and cutting my carbs way way way back. 3 weeks of not tight but junky for me has put my head into a dither!

A funk, my diet is"off" and my head space is cluttered...waited too long to go to gym due to other committments and lasted 14 mins on stairmill,...preoccupied...today was a day off anyways,as I have been 5 days straight.
Will start tracking my food...I Am in a panic my jeans won't loosen, despite my adherence to more protein,less carbs, and frustrated as some ofnit is out of my control...I really screwed up the hernia surgery I had and i think my lower abs are gonna be crappy forever,or until my jeans are too loose. Not sure if I am building, or maintaining...but my pants feel tight and that is a bad mental place to be.
Will do 45 cardio tomorrow and legs. Adding horiz leg press back in as well as plié squats. I still am not happy with my quads and hams. Bleh.

45 cardio
Needed the time off...may move legs to Monday morning.

Thanks on the arms. Ya...my abs too when I am working..and my ass...but my thighs will be my weak point till I die! Told ya, I was about 3-5 up...I hate feeling big, and I felt big. Old that day, too. All the slutty looking girls there with their muscle boyfriends..As I said, I hold my own for 50 and that s me big...so, I won't complain.

Horrible stomach ache, so I did 45 cardio early am on stairmill, level 16-- really into listening to career podcasts as i just started the job searc, and going to put a cut diet back in as soon as stomach ache is gone...get lean and mean for my career search! I went back to do legs in the evening, but couldn't. Really in pain. Pain is relative, and so, I don't complain, but I knew I couldn't over ride my stomach ache. Grrrrrrrr

I need to lose 5 lbs!!!! It's huge on me! So flipping' frustrated...doing lots of protein, and little carb and not too much else ...I am doing photos first week of March...but I hate hate hate my clothes snug,...so public proclamation. I am a fast gainer and get fat fast....argh,...I just need anorexia for 3 weeks! I really prefer ultra lean these days...the mindset---unfortunately I am craving brown rice pasta, vegan parmesan cheese, fresh mushrooms...hmmmm--crap food- too heavy

45 mins stair mill level 16....contemplated an hour....nope

1 scoop choc vega- in coffee! yum!
2 sesame tofu sticks from Whole Foods and a box of glee gum
1 carrot
1/2 of this veggie soy thing, 20 grams protein and 150 cal!
2 carrots
1 trilogy kombucha- classic
5oz plain, extra extra firm non Gmo tofu, like 25 grams protein
And my weakness, 1 tblsp fresh ground organic peanut butter..gave to the dogs so I wouldn't eat it all. They love me. I swear my Goldie would be vegetarian..ovo lacto. He likes eggs and dairy and fruit and bread. He picks tofu over one's...but, I've does like meat. My lil older dog is omnivorous...back in he day she killed birds and small rodents and would leave on patio for me as a gift.

Went back to gym to try and find my mojo, it wasl ate, really hot, really stinky (it rained here and the windows inside were so steamed you couldn't see out) and none of my dumbbells were free (all the 20's, 25's ) and the things I liked doing all were busy, so I did a quick re look and had a suck work out

50 roman chair crunches, hurt....flippin'hernia did not heal....still
Squats 4x15 x 35
Butt blaster @100 lbs 3 x 12
Leg press (cybex) 3 x 12 w/ 45 lb plates on each side
I left
At home:
4x40 lunges,but no weights
Funk is still here

Tad of tofu
Bubble gum

45 cardio, so far

souplantation....nuff said

off to the gym in a bit

First time I ate the damn flippin blueberry muffins in over three years. Like WTF?????? Luna bar, another WTF, again, and lots of yummy salad fixings,..fresh spring mix, carrots, sprouts, green pepper, raisins, a few garbanzos, 3 strawberries and too much salad oil,...yum...but the flippin muffins...I can't believe I did that.....

Off to do shoulders and traps
Overhead press , but all are sitting, below,too 4x8 @25
Arnold curls 4x8 @20
Lateral raise 4 x 10 @10
Bent over fly's 3x 10@20 1 x10 @ 25
Upright rows 3x10@20# dumbbells
Shoulder shrugs 4x12@32.5

No abs...left and binge ate...grrrr

Wow, it looks like you've been working really super hard, jeez. I know you'll get the results you want. For me, I usually find that if the results I want aren't right there for me, I get so frustrated, and I push harder. But so often what i really needed to do is just step to the side for a moment and be gentle with myself. My body rebels if I don't do right by it. Easy does it, my sister. Wishing for anorexia is not going to get you good results. Listening to your body and being kind and supportive to it will, as you know!

Lunabars are my weakness. My goal is to get down to 1 per week. I feel you on the wtf food. Last week I ate corn chips and a muffin before a ride, haha I never do that!
