Had a great time at the Michigan Veg fest yesterday!! sported the vegan bodybuilding shirt of course! saw roberts books for sale so that was pretty cool. Got to meet some great people. Saw John Salley do a lecture and got to meet him afterwards so that was very awesome since he was a Piston! Saturday was an easy cardio day 30min on bike and then I did some core work and some deadlifts. Sunday was total rest day and I think my body appreciated it since I was able to hit it hard today. I was excited to get back in the gym

Hey Kelly! I've been off the forum lately (lots of stuff going on), but I knew I could count on YOU to keep at it! You're amazing in your consistency. You rock!

 

Isn't John Salley the best?!?!?! I met him last year, too, while on the vegan cruise. Love his sense of humor!

 

Have a great day!

You're rockin' it, Kelly!! What kind of progress/results have you seen lately? And can you tell me about your collard green tempeh tacos? Sounds delish!

 

 

I have had some great strength lifts for me the past few weeks.upping my weight in my squats and chest presses mostly. I had a good chest day today at the gym where I lifted a new personal best for me on a chest excercise. feeling good!

temepeh tacos!! so good. so all i do is saute crumbled tempeh with some cumin and chili powder, dump a can of black beans or pinto beans, and a can of fire roasted tomatoes. then I just wrap it up in collard greens with lots of cilantro, chopped peppers,avocados,salsa, and nutritional yeast, which by the way i am somewhat addicted to braggs nutritional yeast. i have a problem, i put it on everything and its getting a little ridiculous.

Wow, that's fantastic! Keep up the stellar work!

 

Those tacos sound delicious! I've never sauteed tempeh in anything but a little soy sauce, but I really love the way the cumin and chili powder sound! With beans and tomatos... YUMM!!!! I'm going to have to remember this, for sure!

 

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Your comment about the nutritional yeast just made me literally laugh out loud!
