HSOrlandos 2013 Journal: Being vegan in a non vegan world


Recommended Posts

1115am- run, I ran for close to 3 miles. I had mapped distance on mapmyrun.com, but took a few twists and turns along the way. I walked for a few bits, but then started running again, and it was a hot one.

1215-1- I actually ventured into the weight room!!!!!!!!! Don't get me wrong, i love working out with free weights, barbells, machines, cable systems, hammer strength, etc, but when I finish work I have to get out asap. Here is what I did! Mostly it was 3 sets 8 reps.

3 sets- bench press- 20lb free weights

3sets- one arm bent over row, used bench

3sets-seated hammer strength chest press machine- 40lbs?

3sets- back cable row- 40lbs,50, 50

3sets- incline bench- 15lb free weights

4sets- back extensions- used 6 lb medicine ball 2 sets, then body weight 2 sets

walked about 1 mile to where my mom works

It feels a bit weird going to the Y now that I don't work there, but I'm sure that this feeling will go away soon.

 

Had an awesome Step class, and then an equally awesome Body Pump class which basically beat me up, and then spit me out. I felt like it was one of my first times in the class. I'm quite exhausted for feminine reasons but I did keep my weights the same as I usually do. I have not taken a BP class in over a month I think. The chest track was excruciating, and the back wasn't that much better. I loved every minute of it though,

 

Today I am totally sore all over!!!!

Body Pump is an awesome workout! You've got to try it. Almost every time I take a class I am sore all over the next day, and sometimes the day after. It is a great strength endurance class. It's not easy holding a 50 pound barbell for up 3-5 minutes while squatting the entire time. Same goes for all the other muscle groups. Shoulders give me the most trouble, mainly with the shoulder presses. But I love the burn! LOL.

Busy week! Don't remember what I've exactly been eating, although it's pretty much the same boring food i usually eat.

Thursday- Moved boxes, and loaded and unloaded U-Haul in under three hours. lot's of lifting, squatting, stepping up on, and off truck, carrying boxes etc. I have the bruises to prove it.

Friday-

Got dropped off at my empty apartment- and quickly finished cleaning.

9am-walked 1 mile to where my mom works, walking my bike with its flat tires

Breakfast- coffee, luna bar

1130am- walked back to apartment to hand in keys, and get my security deposit back

1215pm- walked again to where my mom works

 

Saturday- weighed myself after eating tons of cookies from my party I only gained 1 pound I was quite grateful it wasn't 5 pounds

930am- Zumba

Drunken Monkey- vegan breakfast burrito, vegan scone, coffee

walked a lot this afternoon at an art festival a friend told me about

then walked back probably about 2 miles to my new location w/family

 

Sunday- Step, and Body Pump

BP was a new release, and I quite agreed w/ instructor harder than the past few releases. Lets just say the lunges got my glutes, and the shoulder track just about left me trembling. That's how the workout went.

 

Monday-

9am- run YEAH!! only about 2 miles, time limitations in the morning

My glutes were really feeling it in the run.

945- banana, coffee, luna bar

1pm- falaffel, hummus, couscous- very very filling

730pm- big salad

10pm- herbal tea

Weighed myself Saturday, down 1 pound. At least it's going down. I think I'm back on track with my eating though, so that's good.

Saturday I took a Zumba class, went to Whole Foods, and then went to an art festival near where I live. Then I walked around for an hour than walked about 2 miles or so home. It's hot again too!

 

Sunday:

Step class was great sweated buckets- same goes for Body Pump

By the end of Body Pump I felt like falling to the ground, I was spent, but in a good way.

2pm- half clif bar

6pm- lots of whole wheat pasta w/ marinara sauce and vegan crumbles, whole wheat garlic toast
