lobsteriffic Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 wow, two trainer sessions in one day? that's hardcore! Do you put anything on your tortillas or do you just eat them plain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 i usually heat them up so they get yummy, and sometimes i sprinkle cabbage, lettuce, or parsley in them, and very rarely earth balance or tofu mayo. that sounds gross! but it is good. i'm really into papadums lately, low calorie, good protein, salty, and crispy! super yummy.

vivalasvegans Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 1/19 1 hr+ trainer ride lvl 10 race, hardbench press 2x20x45 1x20x55 2x10x65 taped afterwardscommute diet was awesome except for cookie dough i broke for because i messed up and didnt eat till late afternoon random thoughts:this carb thing doesn't seem to agree with me at the mo. i need more protein.i cant wait so long to eat in the afternoon.if it's time for a rest day, i need to take it, otherwise my training gets wishy washy and i'm just wasting my time. if i'm trying to wait for some kind of scheduling thing, then i need to go hard if i'm going to train at all, otherwise, rest and take that extra day.

lobsteriffic Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 I definitely agree, if you need the extra rest then it's better to take it and come recovered and strong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 Yes. And also, if we want to stay in bed 'til noon, we should be able to do that!

vivalasvegans Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 i guess i'll call today a rest day. the whole sunday got away from me. got to keep that from happening again 1/22coffeeoatmeal w raisins, walnuts, hemp.5 hr spin bike, no burn, 95-100 rpm, arrow barsbench: 45x20, 2x55x20, 3x65x6chia/protein/agave pudding, sunflower seedsaccidentally drank a little sugar soda, it's all natural though next possibility for rest day is friday. i think i should take it and re-set my rest days for then. we'll see how it goes. depending on the weather, if i can get into the gym early this week, i'll start training legs a little. the weather this past week has really messed with my bike hours. i'm going to need to re-think my attack plan if it doesn't change. i just hate sitting on the trainer. sometimes my best gear just doesn't cut it. i'll try to be braver.

lobsteriffic Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 your numbers look good to me! I'm always jealous of people who actually are coordinated enough to walk backwards on a treadmill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted January 26, 2012 Author Share Posted January 26, 2012 (edited) oh, it's so hard for me. i have to really stay on top of the balance training, i lose it. it's not hard once you get the hang of it though, if i can do it, anyone can! 1/25 3 hours of riding. my legs were so sore, it's amazing i went anywhere. i was surprised i was fast at all. oatmeal, raisins, hempoatmeal, raisinsluna bar, celery, scoop of protein powdereggplant, tomato, tofu, yeast, fake salaminuked frozen peaches4 squares of chocolate chia/protein if i get hungry later but i'm beat and hopefully i can fall right asleep Edited January 27, 2012 by vivalasvegans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yay Mary, nice to see you here! 1/26DOMS diminished alot in quads although knotty. Glutes/hams still so sore. coffee2x oatmeal, raisins, hemp2 hour ridetofu, celery, yeast, ~1.5 tsp olive oilpopcorn ~1.5 tsp olive oilcommute+coffee2 veg patties, mixed veg, fake salamigrapeleaves, raw lavender chocolate at this point it was late, i was not tired, i was pretty sad about work situation, and i was still wanting food. i think i could call it hungry, but i'm not sure. i needed to get some work done and i couldn't focus. i looked at my chia/protein stuff and it just looked so gross and disgusting. i had been avoiding the leftover cookie dough in the fridge all week, it wasn't appealing at all. i felt like i needed carbs though so i ate it. it hit the spot and let me settle down, but now it's wearing off fast and i think i should have probably nuked some frozen peaches. if i had to go back and be in that moment again, i think i would be able to say honestly it's not worth it.

lobsteriffic Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Do you ever use a foam roller on your legs? I know I should, but I rarely do anymore. I just never think of it. Raw lavender chocolate sounds right up my alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted January 28, 2012 Author Share Posted January 28, 2012 I would probably benefit from foam rolling, but i never do it. I do a lot of stretching and leg movements to keep things ... i guess supple is the right word. Yes. I am supple. I could be suppler. Yeah that chocolate wasn't as good as I thought it would be. Probably because I was craving carbs, and it was pretty low carb. I did just eat a wheat free chocolate chip cookie though and it was utterly magnificent. 1/27rest dayi still have the domsi really wanted to bike to the bar today but i was good and i didn't. diet was fabulously junktastic garbonzos, green pepper, celery, tomato, yeast, tbs tahinipopcorn, olive oiltofutti cutiechai, stevia, coconut milkfrench friestofu, baby spring mixcookielarabar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 1/28 nice long ride, was rly looking forward to it. i think i tore one of my quads out in the middle of nowhere, and i wasn't sure what happened, i'm still not. so i turned around after a while and i figured out it wasnt getting better. i'll see how i feel tomorrow. i'm avoiding ibu. but idk if that's the right thing to do. i just want to know if it gets worse or whatever. so the good thing about it is that i did hit my goals for training hours this week, even though i'm not gonna ride tomorrow. that could be because it took me so long to get back home and the training was worth shit. but whatever. the other silver lining is that next week is a rest week so i should be taking it easy anyways. i did want to weight train some more, i will decide on that tomorrow night.
