Emmybear Posted May 29, 2008 Author Share Posted May 29, 2008 Hard workout today...I did 20/20/ 20 and spinning4 laps around the gym then 6 basketball suicides..ouch..followed by walking lunges up and down the lengths of the basketball courts(see post your gym photos for an idea of how much that hurt) After cardio fun we did arms focused on triceps and chest today 4 sets of chest presses and flies on the ball( in a freakin row) plus we did pulsing on the flies...push ups on a stability ball tricep dips ..lunges with flies and pulsing..overhead triceps about two or three sets of the aforementioned...lunges with shoulder presses...then Froggies..I can't explain them very well you kind of sit down put your hands on your feet and lift your but up and down...does not sound like much but it burns.....then spin! Endurance and interval...I did not have the resistance up too high because of knee issues...but I got a good workout My camera did not work this morning so I did not snap a photo but it was the same breakfast as before light vanilla soy milk..peanut butter banana English muffin I ate a nature valley granola bar( see yesterdays picture) at the gym... I felt weird taking a picture there...I thought it would help up my energy in spin..but it did not I did not have time to digest it before spin...I'm thinking low calorie Gatorade next time.... My camera started working at lunch so I snapped a pic of this..4 slices of smart deli vegan slices and a slice of vegan cheese also some lettuce and tomato inside...It did not all fit..I have wrap problems...the wrap is a carb balance tortilla...cherries carrot sticks and hummus http://i25.tinypic.com/9uqdg9.jpgI woke up from a nap and I wanted something salty... I did not eat the whole can...there were a few left in the bottom that I scarfed...yeah for carbshttp://i26.tinypic.com/dggkzs.jpgsince I devoured so many carbs at lunch I decided to eat a salad for dinner... a big salad...on top are morningstar- vegan chikn strips and light asian sesame dressing plus strawberries...I have to finish them they have been in my fridge too longhttp://i30.tinypic.com/2s65310.jpgI had a few of these throughout the day... I am having problems with my throat and they feel so good when I eat them.. I ate way to many though.... I also finished off the rest of the cinnamon soy crisps before dinner I forgot to take a picture...I ate soo late tonighthttp://i31.tinypic.com/1zl4uj4.jpgyeah tommorow I am taking a picture no matter where I am ..no matter what I put in my mouth...my camera being messed up gave me liscence to bingej(':oops:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never ate vegetables growing, so ended up a cheese-a-tarian for the first two years. When I decided to go vegan, I was determined to like vegetables. Now 20 years later I can't imagine a day without them, I'll eat all I can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emmybear Posted June 10, 2008 Author Share Posted June 10, 2008 I woke up late again...I have been beat lately ......anyway I did spin and sculpt today 45 minutes of spin then 30 minutes using bands to sculpt. I really don't like the bands but I have heard that your muscles cannot tell the difference....Is that true?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsorlando Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 I think it must be the weather, because I've also been beat too. The bands don't like me, but I suffer through using them. I think they're good because the resistance is a bit different than using weights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcina Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Both my cats have earmites and my boyfriend has something wrong with his neck....I spent the night at the 24 hour vet and the day at the urgent care...and running his errands. I did not work outI ate a bunch of crap... darntoday will be better Aww when I worked at a vet clinic I always dreaded flushing cat's ears. They hated it. Kittens were the toughest because they squirm so much and I was always afraid of hurting the kitten when holding it. Earmites are easily treated, but not fun at all. I hope your boyfriend and your kitties feel better soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
