Richard Posted September 6, 2008 Author Share Posted September 6, 2008 FOOD:Breakfast: small bowl of oats with soymilk, vitaminsPost-workout: protein shakeAfternoon: protein shakeEvening: protein shakeEvening: Kidney beans & TVPNight: 6 raw carrots & protein shake Since eating consistently through the day, I think my stomach is shrinking or something. The bowl of kidney beans & TVP really made me full up, which is good. I feel like breaking it down to smaller portions still, or just eating something easier to digest than the TVP. TRAINING:Back & biceps & traps20 minutes interval training on bike (1 minute gentle, 2 minutes hard, that was difficult)Skating for 1 hour (not very heavy) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 It's soy protein isolate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasha Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 What do you usually mix it with? or do you drink it straight up like a man's man :wink; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Yeah, I am weening myself off junk, so I am starting to have it just with water, although the stuff is "chocolate flavour" - it doesn't really taste of chocolate, but it is better than plain. Sometimes I have it with some soy milk also if I want to have a little carbs with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tasha Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Someone should really invent a vegan protein isolate cooler. Then that way you could actually enjoy what you are drinking. That way we wouldn't have to plug the nose and shoot it down out throats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 9, 2008 Author Share Posted September 9, 2008 What's a cooler? Like, a fridge? FOOD:Breakfast - Oats, soymilk, dates, vitaminsPost-workout - Protein shakeAfternoon - 3 raw carrotsAfternoon - Protein shakeEvening - Protein shakeNight - Kidney beans & nutritional yeast TRAINING:Shoulders, chest, tris and a bit of ab work.20 minutes interval training on bikeGot a new personal best for smith press, although I have never tried just 1 rep, so I don't know my real maximum as it were. But I got 5 reps at 70kg + bar which is the most I've ever done. And prior to that, I got a new PB last week on chest as well... so hopefully in my next chest workout I'll beat it again. All my numbers at the gym are going up right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cooler can be a place to store chilled stuffbut this cooler is meant to taste sweet, like lemonade or a tropical drink, like fizzy naval, strawberry kiwi Like a fruit juice drink, without the sugar or carbs and 25grams of protein. But there isn't a vegan product out there yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 TRAINING:Skating 1 hour Oooo, ice skating, roller skating, or skateboarding?We might wanna be thinking about a vegan roller derby team... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 Roller skating yeah. There aren't really many places to go around here, besides the street, and I prefer having a nice smooth surface. The place we go to is mainly kids, and they have like 1 hour of figure skating classes, then they have 1 hour of "fun" which is what we go to... just skating around and sometimes they play some games that we join in with. I don't know if we look like paedophiles, it's like 90% girls aged 4-10 or something, then us (4 guys aged 26-30). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 FOOD:Breakfast: Oats, soymilk, dates, vitaminsPost-workout: Protein shake, 250ml of energy drinkAfternoon: 2 carrots, 1 stick of celeryAfternoon: Protein shakeEvening: Small bowl of oatsEvening: Kidney beans TRAINING:Back and biceps, traps11 mins on bike - I forgot my water bottle today, and so I felt drained. Did 10 minutes of pretty full on biking though, 1 minute cool off at the end Guy who runs the gym recommended that I get 50g of simple carbohydrates after my workout. So I am having a 250ml of glucose drink after the workout to see how that goes. That's 200 calories :/ don't really want to add calories into my diet right now, but I can see his point.

robert Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 Nice to see the consistent journal......consistency makes all the difference. Have fun man! Keep after it! Great progress pics are resulting from continued consistent efforts with training. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Thanks Yeah, that's definitely correct, whatever you're doing you need to keep it up to get results. Keeping this log also kicks my arse into gear. I am getting really really hungry in the evenings, and I am totally not hungry in the morning, I have to force myself to eat the oats right now. I wish it was the other way round FOOD:Breakfast - Oats, vitaminsPost-workout - energy drink & protein shakeAfternoon - protein shakeAfternoon - Kidney beansEvening - Some peanutsEvening - Beans, protein shake TRAINING:Chest, triceps, shoulders20 minutes interval training on bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 17, 2008 Author Share Posted September 17, 2008 Clothes are fitting me better now that I have lost a bit of fat. These clothes in these photos weren't fitting me so well a few months ago, pretty tight, now they pretty much fit me so I can wear them again. http://godfist.com/body/september/clothed.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted September 19, 2008 Author Share Posted September 19, 2008 Went to my friend's house yesterday, who has lots of cats. I had run out of allergy tablets though, but I decided to risk it anyway... but turns out that I really do need those tablets! I was sneezing and itchy, and basically felt like crap all of yesterday and went to bed at about 7pm. Today I feel a bit better but have a sore throat, I'm sick of it. Hopefully it'll go away soon EDIT: I am still fucked, had no training since last week, this sucks! At least I am out of bed though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robert Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 How are you feeling man? I hope all is well buddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 Oh just saw this. I am getting better, I went to the gym today. Could feel that I am not quite recovered, as I was a bit dizzy, and still a bit dizzy now after coming home. I did eat before I went, and I had an energy drink afterwards, to keep my carbs up. But I am glad I went, hopefully I can get back to it and beat the rest of the flab TRAINING:Took it easy, did a variety of things; lat pull-down, resistance row, reverse sit ups, bicep curls, hammer curls, high reps on the incline smith press, and then 20 minutes gentle on the bike.

robert Posted October 8, 2008 Share Posted October 8, 2008 Thanks for all your help lately man. It's a busy time. I know you haven't been feeling well either, so I appreciate your time and energy always and as of late. All the best man, get back to feeling well soon!
