aluck Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 What you have done has made a huge difference. Now focus on yourself! You know what you gotta do and obviouslt you will do it. The colonic sounds fascinating... lol Thanks for the early morning giggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Wow, well you certainly deserve a chance for a slower pace of life after all this is over - you work so hard! Your level of commitment is really inspiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Colonic????? Was there any pain involved? (man! I sound like a sadist) just curious though. Did you feel differently afterwards? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Colonic was cool.....I crapped my brains out! Today was a pretty crazy day of filming for many reasons which will be revealed later. Awesome hanging out with the Vegan Brothers in Iron. One more day of prep before contest.....yeah buddy! It will be like mini vegan vacation with all the forum members who are here already and those making the trip from out of town. Friends and family are here too!

robert Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 I just got home.....I was away from the computer for the past 6 days directing the documentary. It was intense, not much sleep at all over the past few days but great long-lasting, life-changing memories. I'll update soon. I had a great time at the contest with family and friends and with all those who made it out, it truly was a mini Vegan Vacation and I appreciate everyone who supported us. I'm super tired, I should catch up on some work, food and sleep. I'm competing again on Saturday with DCNINJA in Bend, OR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Thanks Bronco, I appreciate it. I worked harder over the past 4 months than ever before. My eyes are "bloodshot" from not sleeping properly for weeks and weeks. I'm tired, I really am. I'm exhausted and happy to be home, though the time in Phoenix was like Vegan Vacation all over again with nearly 15 forum members there in total. Tonight I trained for 3 hours. I'm 4 days out from a competition in Bend, OR with DCNINJA....anyone coming? Bend, OR is the #1 adventure city in America! I haven't been there in 2 years so I'm excited to go! It's only 3 hours from my house so I should go more often! After this competition on May 2nd, I will relax for a little while. I have a trip to L.A. schedule in mid-May and one in Northern California in Santa Rosa 3 weeks later, but other than that, I think I'm staying put for a while. I've seen a doctor 5 times and my back is doing better. I expect to return to free weights soon! I've been on machines and cardio for the past month!!!!! Today I did use dumbbells for seated bicep curls, but in general, I'm on machines 90% of the time right now. Today was 90 min weights and 90 min cardio. Good workout. Off to bed in a few. Back to work tomorrow....and I really look forward to it! I want to spend more time on VEGA and Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness projects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aluck Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 Get more sleep.. You and me both... I know follow your own advice jerkoff... But I plan to take a nap this afternoon... Reaching my first over 3 or 4 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period in months? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 I trained for 2 hours this morning......I'm wiped out and not feeling 100% Just hit me today....I had a morning workout and I got back to regular work today for VEGA and that felt good. But I just don't feel right at the moment and want to lie down for a bit. I trained chest and triceps today and also did 45 minutes of cardio, 2 hours total in the gym. Time to nap.

thendanisays Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 I feel like i've lost an arm or something! I havent seen you in like 3 days! WOWOWOWOW! I'm sorry you're not feeling right. you should definitely take it a little easy if you dont feel right. you'll make a better showing if you feel better than if you push through feeling under the weather.....<3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robert Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Yeah, I'm notorious for never talking or writing about if I'm not 100%. It's really the first time in 2009 despite my incredibly stressful cross-country tour, my documentary, my training for all these contests, etc. I was in bed for 15 hours and I think I'll get outside soon for some fresh air. I compete in less than 48 hours in an NPC competition. I'll be fine. I just need some sort of a base tan soon. No PAM this time either...not even with wiping it down..I just want to follow what Ronnie says which worked for my first 6-8 contests: "If you always do what you've always done, you always get what you always got." Off to Bend, OR tomorrow. When I get back I'll have some burritos, catch up on work, sleep, and life and have some fun seeing old friends again. I look forward to it.

MollyMormon Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 If that was a vacation I can't imagine what working is like for you. You did great and I enjoyed meeting you and listening to your talk. You are such a great motivational speaker. I think everyone could really feel you (and many of the women actually wanted to feel you). You might want to print up some business cards for the site next time. There was quite a bit of interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Thanks MollyMormon, Yeah, that was "vacation" for me, busy every minute of the day, so much so that I wasn't online for 6 days and it's my job to be online But it's cool, I enjoy it and will be slowing down soon. I intentionally don't have business cards because I get more e-mails than I can keep up with....I have pages of emails that never get responded to, which sucks and make me look like a jerk, but I just don't have the time. But flyers are something I usually have...I just hide my personal contact info. One thing I will be doing asap is putting other e-mail addresses on our "contact" page. People like yourself or others who compete...basically those who are interested in being contacted via www.veganbodybuilding.com I understand if many don't want to be contacted, like me, but I imagine some people would love the opportunity to get fan mail, questions, and get to represent Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness. I'm off to Bend tomorrow. I really do look forward to being home for a while without the travel... I have at least 3 trips planned for May, so I hope to find some downtime in there to catch up on life Yeah Buddy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 Having a rough time these days....but that is how it goes. Slowing down with life as soon as I get back from Bend...I leave in a few hours and should be back by Sunday night. Time to finish packing and load the car and take as many medications as I can which won't make me drowsy. I feel like I just got my ass kicked pretty hard. Oh well, RC bounces back. YB!
