Hey I went almost 100% raw for a couple years. I also live in BC and havent been able to handle the winter months. Even though I'm not raw this winter I still get sooo cold, I cant wait to head south next year!! For me its never been because I was raw I guess I've just always been cold... Though I dont remember being this cold on the SAD diet..... Summers for me, no problem I friggin love eating 100% raw all day long.

Before going to the Canucks game I had 3 pieces of vegan pizza. Then at the game I brought 10 chocolate covered almonds and 10 chocolate covered cashews - these were vegan as well and omg so good, glad I didnt bring the whole bag!!

Hey everyone this is my first fitness and nutrition journal. My goal is to do a bikini fitness competition in May 2012. I've been inspired by a girlfriend of mine who just did a competition a few weeks ago though shes a big meat eater thinks that I will have a tough time because of my vegan diet. I've always been into working out and being healthy I've been able to maintain an ok physique for the last 4 years when I fully switched to a vegan diet but never knew how to kick it up a notch.. or a few! I just bought Robert Cheeke's Vegan Bodybuilding and Fitness, browsing a lot online here on this site and veganmuscleandfitness.com. My girlfriend gave me her workout routine which I will add to my workout routine. Right now I have been doing bodyrock.com workouts 3-6x/week and HII cardio on my cellerciser 3-6x/week. As I get through Robert Cheeke's book and doing more research online I should have a pretty good idea on a good workout plan. My diet is vegan (with some honey from a company that loves their bees) I try and eat mostly fresh food though it is winter here in BC and warm food is sooo nice to have in the evenings. 1st and 2nd meal is almost always smoothies. (bananas, dark leafy greens, berries, coconut oil, honey, chlorella and protein powder - just bought the vega sports protein powder in vanilla!) Immediately after my workouts is when I take chlorella with some supplements (multi, B12, maca... ) Evening meal lately has been steamed veggies with legumes (I keep my meals pretty simple no sauces) I am a coffee addict which I enjoy 1 cup in the AM before my workouts with coconut milk, if I dont get a good sleep I usually have another cup mid day. My liquid has definitely gone down since summer, I'm currently drinking 1.5 litres of water - I gotta work on this! I will be posting on here regularly to keep track and stay on track, any suggestions/ideas etc are always welcome. Hopefully I get a an email soon from veganmuscleandfitness.com with their free diet planner sheet to keep tracking easy. If anyone knows of any good apps for their journals plz let me know! cheers! My girlfriend's workout routine: Week 1 day 1-3 - 50 % of 1 rep max 4 sets of 12 day 4-6 50 % of 1 rep max 4 sets of 15 Week 2 1-3 55 % 4 sets of 10 4-6 4 sets of 15 Week 3 1-3 60% 4 sets of 8 4-6 4 sets of 10 Week 4 1-3 55% 4 sets of 12 4-6 4 sets of 15 Week 5 1-3 60% 4 sets of 10 4-6 4 sets of 12 Week 6 1-3 65% 4 sets of 8 4-6 4 sets of 10 45 second rests in between sets Day 1 Legs Sqauts Alternating walking lunges Split squats Hamstring curl Standing calf raise Leg extension Day2 shoulders , chest, tri Front raise Side Lateral raise Dumbbell Shoulder press Flat bench fly super set with press Front press down tri Reverse pull down tri Day 3 back , bi , abs Lat pulldown Mid back seated row Ab crunch back straight Oblique side crunch on horse Dumbbell curl Bar curl

Hi my name is Sarah. I'm 25. I found this site on .. Facebook? I want to say someone from 30bananasaday.com posted this site but I could be wrong... I've been vegan for over 4 years, mostly eating fresh foods. I try to keep my meals really simple. Lots of green smoothies. I rotate through different vegan protein powders. Since last fall I have been following on and off Zuzana from bodyrock.tv for work outs but for the last 2 months have been following them steady everyday. My goals have been to build STRENGTH. I cant do a pullup/chinup yet, I can do a few regular push ups off my feet but they look weak. I believe being able to lift/pull your own body weight is important but Im not yet there. I've been focusing on consuming more carbs: fruit. A lot of the work outs I have been doing are body weight but I recently started adding 30lbs when doing squats/lunges/dead lifts/crunches etc...I havent added extra weight yet when working on my upper body. I'm looking forward to meeting and talking with other vegans who love to workout and push their limits!!
