JW Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 always trying to have fun! don't know if it was because I worked out in the morning today or if it was just a very hard workout but I SUFFERED today. 15 squat jumps15 pushups30 lunge jumps100m sprint repeat 3 more times 1x12 deadlifts15 pushups1x12 incline bench60 seconds - stepups on 3ft box1x12 lats1x12 squats1x12 jumping chinups2x12 woodchoppers1x12 shoulder press1x12 rows100m sprint ran out of time at this point still experiencing a little bloating. I've been trying to avoid the dreaded candida diet but I fear it may be in my future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 got the sore leg thing going on today. Where the slightest bump causes a significant cringe. So.... I'm on a real roll lately on Tuesday, I grabbed a pair of pants in the morning while dressing and didn't notice until the afternoon that they were completely split in the rear!!! Yesterday, I lost a screw from my glasses and my lens popped out. A little tape held them together but....... wonder what's in store for today????

JW Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Yes!!! I broke the cycle of unfortunate events!!! One full day free of embarassing moments!! rest day yesterday and I'm not sure it helped much. The legs are still not right so I did upperbody this morning warmup at 60%1x12benchlatsshoulder pressrows @90%3x6 bench3x6 lats3x6 lats3x6 rows 3x6 low ring pullups3x12 sumo deadlifts 3x100 sprints an okay workout but not really satisfying.

JW Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 okay time for a rant!!! I'm sure everyone here goes through this too but it's just ticking me off.Lunch meetings and functions at work where there never seems to be an edible option for me!!! Last week it was a lunch meeting .... pizza all loaded with meat & cheese Today was a BBQ no meatless alternatives everyone knows my diet but they either forget about it or choose to ignore it. I find it rather annoying to say the least!!! freakin meat eaters!!!!!!!!!! would you like some more blood on that rotting cadaver you're all eating???? okay I feel better now (still hungry but better) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 Glad your string of bad luck is broken! thanks I was starting to get worried there for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaryStella Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 JW! your comments always make me laugh! with your incidents etc. But seriously the meeting thing annoys me too because as you said they know my diet and they just ignore it. So basically what I do is if i don't have to go to the event I don't. And in the case where I do have to go and i just don't eat anything and bring something with me and eat it later or have a protein shake or something like that. I shouldn't have to do it but that's how I deal. Hope you have a nice incident free weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 The meeting thing really gets me too. And I find it so awkward because everyone draws attention to the fact that I'm not eating. Then me and my "crazy vegan diet" become the centre of conversation. Which usually revolves around people exclaiming, "Oh I could NEVER give up cheese!"

MaryStella Posted June 20, 2009 Share Posted June 20, 2009 Lobster your comments were sooooooooo true! Don't you just want to reply. hhhmm maybe you wouldn't have all of the health problem if you did! or something along those lines. I know I think about it but usually control myself.

JW Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 and then you get the people who think they're going to be funny by making pro meat comments around the vegan I'll sometimes respond with a " would you like some more blood on that rotting flesh you're eating???" comment I keep hoping that one or two people might actually think about what they are eating...frustrating! But I suppose it took me a long time to make the connection too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 okay.... where to start..... 225 pushups on the weekend Saturday was nuts... my daughter was competing at the provincial track meet. She had an event at 10:00, then went to a birthday party, then back for the 4x100 relay, then we had to go load the van with stuff for the lake, then to a birthday party for us adults.Sunday we were at the lake with all the fun yard work etc... I did go in the water though.. (still pretty numbingly cold)back to the city to visit my father for father's day, and home to crash to the gym this morningit was TORTURE!! The a/c seemed to be not working. the floors were wet, not sure if tit was the condensation or everyone pouring sweat 25 squat jumps25 burnouts25 lunge jumps25 hourglass25 manmakers (these were tough)25 runningman 30 second intervals:squat/row comboincline benchlatssquatstricep extbicep curlrowsham curls repeat 30 second intervals again 25 mountain climbersthen I ran out of time.....

JW Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 70 more pushups last night (for the VBBF challenge)and for fun too it's been soooo humid here lately. I'm constantly sweating. But putting a positive slant on it.... what a great detox!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 I used to always complain about the humidity in Manitoba...then I moved to Saskatchewan where it's so dry you practically turn into a raisin and now I miss it. How are the mosquitoes there so far this year? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 mosquitos aren't bad in the city yet. It's been pretty dry the last month.We were out at the cottage on Sunday and they're out in force! they are just one nasty creation don't you think?

JW Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 oh.... I keep forgetting to mention this to youit doesn't involve mosquitos (although there could be wasps involved depending on the season) Northstar Drive Inn in Winnipeg. Across the street from Alycias Ukranian restaurant (I think it's on McGregor) The most AMAZING veg burgers!!!!! If you get back to Winnipeg soon, you'll have to try it! Patties are home made (kind of a pakora style patty) my mouth is watering just typing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JW Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 bad cravings lately. My sweet tooth is acting up badly!!!!My daughter made me a chocolate cake for Father's day. I think that might have put the sugar craving in my system again. I've had the sweet tooth for as long as I can remember. It's just irresistable!!! I GOTTA have it!!! I NEED SWEEEEEEEETTTTSSSSS (hyperventilating) ............ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Good to know about the burgers! Although it doesn't look like I'm going to Winnipeg anytime soon. I have a monster sweet tooth too. I find eating fresh fruit helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
