bpmojo Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 (edited) Me! Hi, my names ben and I've only "offically been vegan" for about a month now, but I was vegetarian for the past two years and had slowly been making the vegan transition since febuaray and then read "the thrive diet" in the beginning of summer and fully switched in july. {EDIT} I've also really gotten into raw foods over the summer and have been experimenting on my family with raw dinners and whathaveyou, probably around 70-75%ish raw intake now. As far as training I been into fitness for a while but didn't get more serious about it until this year. In the long run I'd like to start doing triathalones/marathons but for right now I lift 3 days a week (2 muscle groups a workout + alternating abs) and then on the other days run or swim or bike. Im pretty small frame. (5'4 1/2 and 115-118ish pounds) and I'd like to mabye put on 5 pounds of muscle but am more interested in just becoming a better athlete. Hmm lets see...I go to school at St. Edwards University in Austin, TX- which is pretty much the veg mecca of Texas so thats pretty nifty. I also help run http://urbanpollution.com/ -which I'd love for anyone to check out if they so wish. looking forward to learning from all of you!

CollegeB Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Man I was just in Austin a few weeks ago. It's got a variety for vegans and I was totally impressed with Dahba Joy bakery. Vegan scones...need I say more? Other parts of TX definitely have great vegan fare. Anyhow good to have you on the forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted August 3, 2007 Share Posted August 3, 2007 You should get a cycling computer. You can get a cheap one for $10 and a good one with cadence for $35. That along with a boring trainer can really pay off if you don't have an easy schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
