Adrienne's Training and V Transition


Recommended Posts

I like journals.

 

I am going to slowly convert to vegan, so I will slowly be replacing the things in my diet (and elsewhere) that aren't. It'll take a bit to get the hang of it.

 

In terms of workouts, I am the crosstraining queen. I swim, run, cycle, lift and do yoga. Cycling will start when the weather gets nicer.

 

I also just started supplementing with creatine. I tried once in my pre-veggie days and it didn't do much for me. I have definitely already noticed a difference THIS time. My workout was much better this morning than it has been.

Hey, there! Welcome. I love that you're transitioning to vegan

 

You look great. We don't have many women bodybuilders here, so it's nice to see you . A member, RawFigure, just retired from bb competition; she's now following a raw diet. I'm following a raw diet, am vegan, but nowhere near a body builder

 

You have a nice site. I love what you said about your mother; it's wonderful to have that kind of relationship

Awesome Adrienne,

 

I think you will be great for vegan bodybuilding! We don't have many women in this group who are competitive in bodybuilding or fitness so you are pretty unique.

 

Great website too, I enjoyed visiting it.

 

Best of luck and I'm glad you are keeping a journal. All this time, and I just started keeping one online a few days ago. Previously I used paper and then for the past 2 years I didn't keep a journal.

 

I look forward to reading more from you on here.
