This is my food journal from yesterday, and is pretty typical of how I eat. meal 1: 2 scoops rice protein (120) 1/2 cup steel cut oats (150) 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (20) meal 2: apple (70) meal 3: salad to go from whole foods (500) pre-workout: 2 scoops rice protein (120) post-workout: 1 scoop vega (100) meal 5: shake with banana, cocoa powder, spinach, 2 scoops rice protein, broccoli: (250) meal 6: almonds with cocoa powder...wow apparently I'm through a chocolate phase! (200) I used to do mostly running and workout videos, but last week I started getting back into lifting weights at the gym. I'm lifting one body part per day, 4 exercises per body part, followed by 15 minutes of abs, then 15 minutes of cardio, 6 days a week.

I just read Robert Cheeke's "Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness." I couldn't put it down! It was like it was telling me what I need to do to promote veganism in my own way. I want to become the best vegan bikini model I can be, both for myself, and to prove that it IS possible to be strong and gorgeous while following a healthy diet, saving animals, and helping the environment! I started training today, and hope to compete sometime next year, anywhere from March to August depending on my progress. Any advice?
