djshrew Posted July 9, 2008 Share Posted July 9, 2008 Hi all! I have just gotten back into training after an injury. in 2006 I worked out like crazy ( I was a vegetarian then, I have been vegan since about last March) and I saw a big change in my body. In high school I was slightly over weight, at 5'8" I was about 163lbs.my senior year I lost about 10lbs. simply because I had my tonsils out and couldn't eat anything but sweet potatoes ,Before I started working out in '06 I was about 145lbs. Before my wedding in '06 I dropped down to about 135 or so. I am currently about 127-130lbs. after my wedding I didn't work out as much as i wanted to (we simply couldn't afford the gym membership so we bought some home weights to work with but it wasn't the same.)I am currently working on my BA in Psychology with a minor in dance and sociology ( i LOVE to dance!!!) This past March I severely sprained my ankle and had to stop my dance classes =( I just started back up with my workouts. I am currently doing 3 days a week of weights (as well as working on rehabing my ankle) and cardio (I am also trying to fit in cardio on my days off.) This fall I will up the weights and cardio to 6 days (tues and thursday I am taking 3 dance classes) I am SO excited to have found this forum, it is a real motivator and makes me feel like an even stronger vegan!I will have to post some info on my diet as I am concerned with my calorie intake ( it will be very important this fall with all the extra dancing) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted August 10, 2008 Share Posted August 10, 2008 I don' t know how I missed this! I think I was traveling during that time and it somehow slipped past me! I'm really sorry about that because the intros are my favorite part of the forum and I love to welcome new members. Great meeting you today! I hope to see you around on the forum soon. I look forward to seeing your online journal. Now I will officially say Welcome! So sorry I missed it the first time.... All the best and enjoy our community!
