Vegan Joe's Progression

[Vegan Joe]

well I'm off to the gym, Have been under the weather so will start ogff sloww B-day in a month. Maybe I shouldn't have eaten all that spaghetti (Morning Star Crumbles) I cooked for dinner. Gonna do alot of sweating to kick this cold thingy.

[Vegan Joe]

well spent a little over an hour in and out of the sauna, drinking 64 fluid ounces (1.89 liters) of orange juice, and sweating profusely. Have tomorrow off so will try for an AM workout.

[Vegan Joe]

Well have been eating poorly since Having seaweed salad and some tofu dish at the Japanese Rest. for our daughters 27th Birthday. Eating chocolate, sorbet, etc.. Haven't had a salad in a week, or anything worth while. Did make a kidney bean, blackbean, quinoa pepper, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, spice thing tonight for the whole family. I have no doubt that my eating habits help me aquire the cold/flu bug floating around our house. Have been spending my vacation, although not totally down and out, laying around and hanging out. Did turn the heater on today after cleaning it out. Have been going to the gym for orange juice chugging, and sauna bouts, (my idea of a sweatlodge).

Made it to the gym tonight and managed to resist some gravity. Called it a short one as the supersets were making me a little quezzy and lightheaded, so I spent 40 min on the treadmill doing some walking.

Thanks! I fixed that. Somehow in my limited undestanding of english, I thought it was one of those inferred thingies.

And thanks for the smiley!

3 Pullups Didn't attempt 4, intent was to do 3 without jerking, just use smooth form.

During some of workouts I have been going to the bar to attempt pullup, the later into the workout I can't even do one, but I hang there

 

and strain at it. So I think it has been helping.

I include kilograms in my workout log, so as to make it easier for the international community to see how much weight I am talking about. Many could probably convert it in there heads, but I imagine there are a few like me who can't, or who would like a more exact comparison.

I would hope that you would cut and paste this somewere (and I don't mean on my private parts, or my forehead, lol), if you like putting you weight amount in you log, and you would like to express it in kilograms also.

I will up date with higher weights in the future.

Couldn't resist... What an ending for your post.

 

You should have posted that "pounds to kilograms"-post in it's own thread. It seems very convenient. Oh, you did already...

Well tomorrow I'll be 55 years of age. I didn't quite reach my goal, but I have been reaching for the plate lately. I started off for the gym this morning with my gym bag in hand, and ended up at Whole Foods buying a Vegan B-cake.

Will rededicate myself after tomorrow, setting some goals for year's end. I won't be taking any creatine or much protein powder, and might not take any at all after I run out. Will focus my energies on a more solid diet. Solid meaning well rounded. I am thinking about my routine, and whether I should change it up by adding more cardio and leg work, or what have you. Will be trying different things and hope to have things worked out to start the New Year.

Thanks for reading.

Wish you a Happy Thanksgiving, or wonderful day, how ever you spend it.

Well Wen. 12-03-08 I woke up with a killer sore thoat. I went to work dealing with the sweats and chills. I drank gallons of orange juice, and in the evening I went to the gym and sat in the jacuzzi, steamroom, sauna for some were around 2 hours drinking and sweating. This morning I woke up with some aches and muscle pains. went to work, and then to the gym this evening, I could still feel soreness from my workout on Tue. I', sure the cold/flu had something to do with that so I jsut did some stair stepping and treadmill for about a half hour. Then back to drinking and sweating. So I hope to have kicked it by tomorrow as I have the next three days off.

Thanks for reading.

Hoping you have a wonderful everything!

Gnna pass again tonight.

While going to bed last night I got a slight pull in my lower

sacrospinalis:

 

So rather than jerk some weights around and possibly tweek it. I'll probably go for the sweating/orange juice routine to finally kill this bug.

Well just another night at the sweat lodge.

Friday night while driving and yawning I got a charley horse in the muscles under the front of my chin. Dang it locked up and hurt so much I nearly had to pull over, pushing and massaging it with my fingers it finally relaxed. I can't remember anything hurting that much in awhile. Last night I woke up with a charley horse in my left hamstring. got up and downed two bananas, and some other eats while I was walkinging it out. Illness has been going quite well, not that much under the weather just muscle cramps and soreness. Seem to be getting over it right nicely now though.

Anxious to give gravity a battle.
