Tensolator's workouts 2012

[Tensolator]

I hvae just started vegetarian eating, and hopefully will be able to transition to veganism in the future. I come from a background of being a heavy beef eater. I tried raw foodism 11 years ago, and was fairly successful, until I discovered the In-n-Out Burger.

I'm 48 (almost) and it is time for a change. So vegetarianism to start, and we'll see what happens after.

Today's workout was a straight kettlebell workout:

Swings 1x25, 1x10, 1x15

One handed snatch: L: 3x5 R; 3x5

One handed press: L: 3x5 R: 3x5

Around the waist: 40

I'm not going to lie, In-n-out burger is delicious. I try not to eat too much frozen food that comes in a box but have you had morning star's veggie riblet yet? When I get meat cravings it one of my favorites. I also really like seitan, its a really good meat like consistency, as opposed to a lot of meat alternatives that I am not fans of their textures. Also if you have a deep frier they have this stuff called mock duck at Asian markets, it comes in a can. If you double deep fry it it has a texture closer to meat than anything else I have tried.
Good luck with you fitness goals, looks like you got a good start going. I'm just scoping out everyone else's journals to help motivate myself.

Welcome to the group! Thanks for starting a journal here. Hope you make a lot of great progress based on your health and fitness goals.

Nice kettlebell work! I haven't used them much but got really into them a year ago. Perhaps it's time for me to start swinging em around again!

All the best.

Thank you for the message Robert.

Thursday: I didn't workout today, but I did ski for 2 hours in the evening. Skiing is always fun.

I will workout this evening though, probably just kettlebells.

Hey Jon!

Great job! I'm no fitness expert, but I'm pretty sure skiing can count as your workout! Haha!

Hope you're feeling better very soon!

All the best,

A brief check in. I have a bacterial infection on my chin from shaving. It is possibly MRSA...anyway I am two days into a three day anti-biotic drip, plus 7 days of oral anti-biotics. I have not had such copious amounts of bowel issues since I was about ten.

I'll get back to wokring out when I can. Right now I have a stint in my hand for easy IV drip access.

Good luck to the rest of you.

How have you been, did you start a 2014 journal I didnt see anything from you in a while.
