Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness

hi everybody!

i'm from germany, vegetarian since 1998 and vegan since 2001.

my dates are:

age: 31 years
height: 1,83 m
weight: 72,5 kg
type: slim / athletic
status: not trained yet

my targets till 01.07. are:

- gaining weight to 76-80 kg
- getting trained and enduranced
- getting more muscles

my training plan:

- mondays 19-20:30 gym and 20:15-21:45 (endurance-)swimming
- tuesdays 19:30-21:00 (endurance-)swimming
- wednesdays 17:30-19:00 gym
- thursdays 18:30-19:30 fitness for the back (usually hard!)
- fridays i'll relax
- saturdays 11:30-13:00 gym
- sundays i'll relax

i also have four dumbbells (i start with 2x 4kg and 2x 7kg but can have till 2x 12kg) for further exercises.

perhaps this is to much. i will see. and i hope you will tell me!
but i'm going to win this contest, even i didn't begin yet

my meals:

eating has no preference in my life yet. why eating when not hungry yet? i like cooking and eating, but i don't have the discipline yet to eat regulary. mostly i even don't have breakfirst except a banana.

i will change this and eat more and more regular. i will also take 150 gr. soya-protein-powder daily.

my problems:

i think i could need help and advice with eating-stuff and exercises.

welcome aboard!
good luck with the training and more important: the eating

Thanks! I was ill, but I'm back and I still have my ambitions.

Oh I envy you so much for the Mr. Toms... I love it but it's an absolute exemption to eat that for me...
Great that you're still motivated! Good look for your aims!

hi kim, thanks a lot! I feel a little bit uncomfortable, eating what and as much as I can, when I think of you or two other persons who also participate in the contest but work on it to lose weight by getting appetite by sports and eating less... your job is much harder than mine, I think... the one thing I have to learn is "Kalorienüberschuss"

eating: enough...

YESSSSS! Feel guilty!!!
It's really hard. And I love eating so much. I really am a girl of pleasure!
And I prefer a life without supplements and that's so difficult 'cause food which is important for minerals and vitamins like nuts or cereals also have a lot of fat, carbs and calories... *narf*
It's terrible sometimes...

I don't feel guilty but uncomfortable, what means thinking of you desturbs me enjoying my opulent meals

did I say I enjoy eating? right now it's more a work for me ("Kalorienüberschuss" ist die halbe Miete bei meinem Projekt). have you seen what I ate today? I really don't want to, but I'll cook some spaghetti right now to have eaten something more valuable than protein powder, fruits and sweets.
