Here are the rest of the photos! I'm glad y'all like them - I tried to delete any I thought were not so flattering - like the one of Ed with his finger in his ear

It was great to meet you too Robert, and everyone else from the Vegan Vacation event! I don't know how to post photos - there are a lot more there. When I figure out a few things, I'll direct y'all to the place where you can see them. I <3 VEGANS!

I've got to take a temporary break from keeping this online journal. I'll get back in the groove sometime soon...

Thanks Montana & Christopher, I'm feeling much better.

I've been very sick all week - will post again starting Tuesday (after Labor Day)

You have probably heard this elsewhere, but just in case, remember that resting is just as important as building muscle. 2 days for upper body, and 3 days for lower body is what my fitness training sister told me.

Fantastic!! Congrats!

They're thinking : "Damn, that's one GREAT LOOKING WOMAN! Wish I had that much discipline! "

how about room freshener for those other smells that get squeezed out during heavy lifts?

I couldn't say anything about building mass as that has never been my concern. I've been searching most of my life for a healthy food plan that I could stick to. In between trying out different diets - I gravitate to fast junk food. Now my freezer is filled with fruit (from my back yard - woo hoo!) and my kitchen is stocked with the staples from Thrive (and no junk!). I had frosting leftover from making cupcakes for my husbands company picnic (i'm obsessed with not throwing food away - but would have been better off putting the frosting in the garbage instead of on my hips ) Being human, I can be bad once in awhile, but if I used the word 'hilarious' I'd be cheating all the time and not owning it. I need firm boundaries - black & white - otherwise I'd be slipping into gray all the time. I've had a lifetime of bad eating habits and now that I want to change - I need to be clear with myself.

DATE: Sunday 8/19 Thrive Diet Food: Blueberry mango pancakes. banana grape peach smoothie, curry lentil rice pizza w/ sweet pepper sauce, tomato, walnuts, green beans w/ garlic, chocolate recovery pudding Extras: coffee, medittereanean tofu scramble, pinto beans, & sesame bagel ACTIVITIES: yard work DATE: Monday 8/20 Thrive Diet Food: Blueberry mango pancakes. curry lentil pizza w/ sweet red pepper sauce, vega energy bar, 3 energy balls, chocolate recovery pudding Extras: coffee, teriyaki veg stirfry w/ brown rice ACTIVITIES: 14 mi bicycle

That's fantastic! Congrats!

I agree about the food log - I try to keep a small notebook near the kitchen - but still....Congrats on getting a friend to work out with!
