Welcome!

Today I got back to a somewhat normal routine. I walked to the gym after work and took muscle toning. The room that most of the classes are in is getting refinished so we were in part of the gymnasium. It smelled a bit weird, like chemicals, so we worked outside on the track. There were lots of squats,and running up and down the hill. We also did bicep curls, lateral raises, lunges, skipping around the track,rows,shoulder raises, cheerleaders (overhead presses with palms facing each other).Then we went back inside and worked chest,hamstrings,glutes, and abs. Then I ran for 3 miles. Of course when I was running a lady from the class honked her horn at me, so I waved, and tripped and fell. But I wasn''t hurt at all so I continued running. Aside fromall the bruises I received moving furniture, and boxes, now I have scraped knees too. I won't be able to wear shorts for a month because people will think I was thrown down a flight of stairs. It seems to me that this was an accident prone day. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.

It's been a crazy weekend. Every day I moved lots of furniture, but I still managed to get to the gym and do some weight training. I didn't have any internet access over the weekend, but they hooked us up today. I'm glad I didn't have to wait any longer. Like I said it was very hectic these past few days, so I was in no way concentrating on what I was eating. I didn''t eat junk, but I didn''t eat frequently, and it wasn't always the best choice. When I move again I am hiring someone!

9:00am a small bowl of oatmel & coffee I am going to move my computer later today, and I don't know when I'll get the internet hooked up, I hope it'll be Monday at the latest, but I don''t know. So I probably won't be posting again unitl next week. Maybe I'll write everything down so I don''t forget. Later!

I go to the gym 6 days a week, and I almost never get really sore. Right now is the first time in like 2 months that I'm feeling it in my legs. I also want to add that I push myself hard too, so I know I'm not taking it easy. I'm just glad to know this is normal because I was starting to wonder if I was doing something wrong in that I wasn't constantly sore from lifting weights. I'd say that in the 6 days of workouts I do some sort of strength training 6 times, and some sort of cardio activity 5 times. Some of my workouts are both strength training,and cardio.

Welcome to the forum!!

I try to stay away from eating a lot of canned fruit because of the added ingredients, mostly sugar. Sometimes I will buy canned fruit in natural juice, usually peaches, pineapple, and mixed.

I read somewhere, I think it was on a PETA site that it is basically impossible to live a life being 100% vegan because of the way the world is. Whether it's a product that is processed on equipment that uses dairy, or equipment that's cleaned with products that aren't animal friendly, or some ingredient that we're unsure of. Anyway we just need to keep spreading the word about being vegan, and with time, and perhaps with people going green for environmental reasons things will change. But it will take time.

It was a lot of fun to do kickboxing again. I've only missed 2 weeks of doing it 1 day a week, but I felt it in the class today. Although I do a lot of strength traing and cardio workouts kickboxing is a bit different. My arms are a lot stronger due to Body Pump, and same for my legs, but my kicks and punches tired me out quite a lot today. I am still a little sore from my workout on Tuesday, I think it's from the squats that we did outside on the track, I guess I'm going deeper than I used too. Anyway I can feel that I am progressing which is my overall goal so that's good. Today I am still moving stuff to the new place, but hopefully will take a break to go back to the gym, and do latin cardio. I wonder how my legs will feel tomorrow. I was going to run tonight, but I plan on perhaps doing a free weights workout tomorrow,(not legs) and will probably just run tomorrow instead. I took a break from moving stuff and went to latin cardio. I sort of wish I hadn't because they filmed the class, this is like the 3rd time they've filmed this class, and I'm always in the front and I can't dance very well so it can be embarassing. Oh well I think the majority of the class have 2 left feet too, so I wasn't the only one that made a fool of themselves!

I am finally getting back to Kickboxing today, and I'm still in the process of moving. I'll update later on. 8:30am oatmeal & coffee 12:00pm tofu scrambles, and pancakes 6:00PM vegan burger on oat bran pita bread w/ tomato and lettuce and carrots and hummus

9:30 am oatmeal w/ banana & coffee 2:00pm 2 burritos 5:00pm banana & water 9:30pm vegan steak strips,brown rice, italian beans

I agree 100%!

I think vegans need to stop fighting with each other,and stop disagreeing about petty things. Lets just show all the non vegans what we're all about, and we all have different ways of doing this too.

Welcome back!!

I need to go to the dentist very badly

I had a great workout today, well almost every time I workout it's great. Anyway I did Muscle Toning, and we did some cardio on the track which included deep lunges touching the ground, squats,skipping,and high knees jogging. With the weights we started with light. I used 6 pound weights and we did a lot of shoulders, and some triceps, then medium were 8 and we did more shoulders, rows, some chest, and biceps, squats, and my heavy weights were 12 pounds, and we did more shoulder raises, lateral raises, bicep curls, chest, rows, and tricep extensions. I think that about covers it for the class. Then I ran with the lady that does the running group, and did 3 miles. She says I am getting better, and I guess she knows what she's talking about as she's been running for 20 years.

9:00am oatmeal w/banana & coffee 1:30pm salad (lots of spinach, apples, celery,) 4:15pm banana 7:45pm vegan sausages, rice, and mixed veggies

Tasha seems like a very nice person, and I can't wait to meet her at VV08

I've only met Robert, but I've also only been a member of this forum for a few months now, so I'm positive my list will grow.

If you run you will hopefully run off your pissed off mood, and feel better.
