Re: The VeganDragQueen's Training Journal
It works for me when I want that boost in advance. I log the seat and machine adjustments as well. Bored of AB Ripper X?
It's a pretty hardcore routine. Looking forward to seeing your new AB routine though. Change is good.

Where do you get your protein?

AB RIPPER X (A!!!!!!!!)

CARDIO
30 min Tradmill

THOUGHTS THAT CAME TO ME WITH THIS WORKOUT:
It is DEFINITELY time for a new routine!! I definitely am feeling MUCH stronger -- and I feel like in the last workout or two I have FINALLY gotten to a point where I can really PUSH and grunt and power through weakness for awesome gains... But I think my efforts can be helped by switching it up. I think any struggle right now is mostly mental and a change of routine will help shake that.
Also - I met a really hot guy on Wenesday with a picture perfect body. He is a paramedic and plays competitive volleyball. That seems the key -- he has an active job (he has to lift the bodies of grown men for a living, 6 days a week!!) and in his free time, he plays sports. I have been wanting to get into dance for so long, and I've even been thinking about joining some kind of a martial art like kick boxing or mui thai. Maybe it's time to allow myself to enjoy something like this?

THOUGHTS THAT CAME TO ME WITH THIS WORKOUT:
- Another AWESOME workout!!' Thanks to Dave for the advice on back/biceps!
- Feels like I can really target my back now!
- Probably gonna be really sore tomorrow!

- Was gonna skip cardio and abs but it's real easy to fit in the 8-min ab routine and a quick 20 minute cardio!

I have been watching your cooking youtubes and I absolutely love what you are doing. I especially loved your line in Episode 6 from A Chorus Line! I almost fell out of my chair laughing - I'm a musical fan as well as an occasional performer for fun. Keep up the good work!

I was inspired by your Tofu Scramble recipe. Last night for dinner, I wilted an entire bundle of spinach, added a cubed block of firm tofu, tomatoes, poblano peppers, nutritional yeast, and cayenne. There was so much water from the tofu and veggies that I didn't need any oil to cook. So fricken good. Thank you!

How have you been, haven't seen you post in a while! Are you actually a drag queen? Do you perform in NYC? If so where at?
