Didn't feel like cooking so I had an Amy's vegan mac and cheese, and an Yves vegan burger, and half a steaz mint tea.

Great to hear!

Just wanted to say hey! I'm still around, just been busy. Not too happy at work so not hanging around much to workout. I'm still getting in a few good workouts every week, but it's not enough. That's quite apparent when I get on the scale to weigh myself. I miss running, and I know that gets my weight down faster than anything else so that's what I guess I have to get back to doing! Hopefully this week!

I know, so is England, and Slovakia. At this point I think I'm cheering on Germany.

the free one that my carrier will upgrade me to.

So far every team/ country that I like has lost!

Mousehunt! Plain and simple that movie was dumb! A friend of my Mom's rented it once thinking that animal lovers would like it because there was a rodent in it. It was stupid, stupid, stupid!

My upper back/ traps. Did a new Body Pump release yesterday, and the back section had a lot of rows focusing on the trapezius.

Maybe we'll recruit you into a hockey fanatic soon then! It's the coolest game on earth, if you haven't heard. And oh socce isn't bad either!

Anyone else watching the World Cup? USA just scored to tie game against Ghana!

We need updated workouts, damnit! Just kidding, from everything you do I can't believe you get on here as much as you do.

Thanks for all the amazing suggestions. I had a super busy weekend, and I absolutely loved Boston! Didn't have a moment to spare. I can't wait to go back for a longer time, and have a vegan adventure! LOL.

Yesterday I took a step/sculpt class. We used resistance bands for our legs and I still dislike them a lot! I t was a good class, but I was not quite up to it, but persevered anyway. I'm sure the instructor thought I was about to pass out at one point because I was getting a bit clumsy stepping and it just seemed harder than usual. There were cardio intervals, and then weight intervals. I only used 6 and 10 lb weights, but the way i was feeling it was enough.

Tomorrow I go to Boston! Yeah, i will get there in the late morning, and I guess go to my hotel, and start exploring! I don't think i will get any exercise except for walking during the next few days.

My abs hurt!

I can't believe how sore my abs are! I haven't been working out nearly as much as I used to, this is going to change, and last night I had two really tough workouts back to back.

The first was a step class, and boy was I sweating, it was literally dripping down my face at one point. At the end of class, we had an abs section for about 5 minutes and completed 250 assorted crunches. I don't know how i ever managed to get through 250 crunches when I'm not doing much abdominal training, boy did i feel it!

Then I set up for BodyPump. My barbell ranged from a warmup weight of 20 pounds, which was also used for arms, and shoulders. The high weight was squats at 45 pounds. The chest and back was 25 lbs. I took it 5 pounds lighter than I usually do for back, and I should have just left it at 30 lbs. After shoulders we did abs and I had another tough ab workout. By the way they hurt a lot today! We did an ab exercise where you roll out with the barbell, and then roll back, using the abs, and not letting your hips or any other part of your body sag down.You're in a kneeling position. The alternatives were planks, but i wanted to see if i still could manage the barbell.

Welcome to the group. I'm in Orlando, Florida, and I think you'll learn a lot here. I sure did, and continue to do so.

Actually went and worked out today! I did some resistance machines. My total weight lifted was 15,245 pounds I think. I did 3 sets 8-10reps each machine. This is what it sort of looked like, weights might be slightly off.

Leg press 1 set 150lb, 2nd set 170 lbs, 3- 170

leg extention 40, 50, 50

leg curl 40, 50, 50

chest press 30, 30, 30- was too light

back row 55, 55, 55

shoulder press 20, 25, 25

back extention 60, 60, 60 almost too light

bicep curl- don't like this machine that much a bit awkward, 25, 25,25

tricep extention 30, 30, 30

leg abductor (outer thigh) 45lbsx 3 sets too light

leg adductors (inner thigh) 45 lbs too light

lat pulldown 3 sets of 60 lbs I think

skipped ab machine because I don't like that certain machine- will do abs at home tonight

Not much of a workout but it was something, oh and I warmed up at 3.8 mph on a treadmil- had just eaten brunch so I couldn't run because I was too full still

Everyone will come their own conclusion, that is pretty much how the writers ended the show. It started as it ended, the viewers are all still completely and utterly Lost!

Welcome to our vegan and bodybuilding community!

6-5 the Blackhawks win! It was a good game I thought. Can't wait for the rest of the series.

On Tuesday I did Step, and Body Pump. I'm also riding my bike, and walking a lot. So even though I'm not at the gym working out every day, at least I'm still being fairly active. I just need a real good kick start to get me back to doing more. I'm running a little but not enough. I guess right now I have other priorities.

Better not let Robert see this thread, or it might accidentally get deleted, lol.

And with all the Vega he's consuming I sure hope it isn't bad!

What about PETA 2?

I have also been wondering about online college. It seems like the cost would be less, just hopefully not the education.

Welcome aboard! I think you'll find lots of support here. Glad to have you join us!
