joelk Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 In the winter I would totally agree with you. When it's -40 in January I don't want salad, I want something warm! Haha, it's freezing here where I am, 10 degrees celcius. I'm still in a t-shirt!!I will never complain about the cold, you guys have it a lot harder than us Aussies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd still like to live there though! Good point. I'll keep that in mind in January when I'm eating some ezekiel bread....while wearing a parka and 3 pairs of socks.

MaryStella Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I tried! For what it is worth, I really liked Toronto when I was there. Not sure where you at in relationship to Toronto. I love how much respect ice hockey gets in canada. I went to the Hockey Hall of Fame when I was in Toronto and it was so much fun. I even went to Wayne Gretsky's restaurant to eat. That was also really kool. So I went to the grocery story today and got vegan refried beans both black and pinto. Also picked up the other necessary ingredients and will probably make myself a chimichanga later today!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted May 25, 2009 Author Share Posted May 25, 2009 I'm actually quite far away from Toronto, and we get a LOT colder. If you go here and look on the map on the left you can see Saskatoon..I guess it would be north of Montana? My U.S. geography is a bit shaky. I really hope you like the chimichanga!

lobsteriffic Posted May 26, 2009 Author Share Posted May 26, 2009 Thanks everyone! Tuesday, May 26th: Weights: None Cardio: Went for a 5k run this morning outside. I had to stop to walk once for about 3 min. I didn't time myself (I should really get a digital watch...) but I could tell I was running faster than normal. And I wasn't totally out of breath by the time I finished either. So as slow as it's been going, I can tell my running has been progressing. Back in March I could barely run 2.5 k and I was SLOW. Diet:Pre-workout: bananaPost-workout: oatmeal with protein powder, flax, blueberries, and agaveSnack: appleLunch: salad with grilled tofu and dressing, appleSnack: blueberriesSupper: teriyaki quinoa, tofu, brussel sproutsSnack: pineapple Cals 1580Fat (g) 38.0Carbs (g) 251.2Prot (g) 84.0 Protein a little low.

MaryStella Posted May 27, 2009 Share Posted May 27, 2009 was the teriyaki quinoa Veganomincon? That is pretty yummy. Congrats on the run. Thanks so much for the chimachanga recipe. very yummy!

lobsteriffic Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 The quinoa was from Eat Drink & Be Vegan...it was okay, not great, but okay. Which is how I would describe pretty much everything I've made from that book (although to be fair I haven't made THAT much...)

Number one I was really pressed for time and my mind was concentrating on not being late so I wasn't 100% mentally in the game. Number two, I just don't think HIIT is going to work after my quad workout. I'll move it to another day. I did manage 5 30 sec. intervals at level 7 resistance.

MaryStella Posted May 28, 2009 Share Posted May 28, 2009 Yeah I have the new sarah kramer book, vegan a go go and honestly I haven't made anything out of it that really had the wow factor. everything has been decent, not bad, but not amazing either. Although I have made the potato pizza for friends and they went nuts over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobsteriffic Posted May 28, 2009 Author Share Posted May 28, 2009 Mary - yeah, I have La Dolce Vegan but honestly I've made like 4 things out of it and I wasn't all that impressed. I find every recipe is really dependent on faux meats/cheese/sour cream/etc. Thanks EliteDad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find every recipe is really dependent on faux meats/cheese/sour cream/etc. Thanks EliteDad! Yeah that is probably why i don't use it much either because i try to avoid that stuff for my everyday eating and only use it for special occasion kind of eating or when I am really craving something like that.
