What did you enjoy most about this online fitness challenge experience? Wow, what have I not enjoyed? To start off I learned that I do feel wonderful sticking to an all vegan diet. Knowing the benefits and also feeling them have really opened my eyes to a better way of life. I've also learned that I can still maintain a healthy physique and weight being injured. Weight lifting and keeping an online journal this month has kept me on track and I've even lost weight while gaining muscle definition

happy to see my weight is back down to 152.6 after last weekend's crapfest... No swim last night b/c hubby was sick. Probably swim only and hot tub today b/c my shoulders are KILLING me. I really worked them and it feels good! Lot's of school work to get done as well. Last week!

Thanks for the feedback ladies!! Karen- I know what you're saying about going back and forth abit. I did a mini trial in Nov but didn't cut the dairy (or chicken really). A new year and surgery on my foot gave me the time and reflection i needed to do it again. The first 4 days were hard but I was feeling lousy from surgery. Fast forward two weeks later and I feel great. I can't wait to see the effects on my running/triathon this year

1/21/12 Not counting today's macros. Ate well until we went out to dinner in Cleveland to Melt and i had two 2 ciders and 1/2 a vegan grilled cheese. To be fair I only had 1/2 and none of the fries. So not too bad. Workout: 45 min of arms/tri's, ab work as well **still maintaining 153 w/ no cardio. Pretty awesome! Goal this coming week is to do one day raw vegan
