  1. It's been a long emotional day for me It turns out my marriage is a sham.. enough about that because I want to keep my personal life away from my fitness life. I could have done some emotional eating today but I stuck with my plan so at least I have something to be proud of Today was leg day Leg extensions 5x5 Squats 5x5 Leg Press 5x5 Single leg Dumbbell deadlift 5x5 SLD 5x5 Calf raise 3x20 Tomorrow is a new day and i hope to start it off with some butt kicking cardio
  2. Day 4. Rest day. Still chugging along. I've been swamped at work and wasn't able to update yesterday. So far Ive been compliant on my diet and training. I need to work on the water though. It's hard for me to drink when it's so cold out. But it will be flip flop weather this weekend so water won't be a problem.
  3. Day two.. Today was cardio day so I opted to go to the gym and run hill sprints on the TM for 45 minutes.. Mission accomplished.. The gym wasn't has crowded as I thought but there was still a good bit of people there.. Meals Meal one vega with spinach Meal two vega again with a banana (post workout) Meal three tofu hotdogs on pumpernickle bread.. Meal 4 plans are pumpkin spice oatmeal Meal 5 plans are quinoa and chickpea pilaf.. My goal is to get a gallon of water in today.. So I better keep drinking cause I'm not even half way there.. Its cold here today so its hard to drink water when its cold.. Back to work tomorrow.. I'm actually looking forward to it..I like my daily routine.. It keeps me on track..
  4. Hi Guys, My name is Jennifer but I go by Jen and I'm not really good at keep journals like this But my goal is to be consistent because of the New Years Challenge.. I was lucky Enough to be paired up with a mentor on this program.. Michelle.. Yay, so excited. A little about me.. I'm a Southern Girl and live on the Southeastern Coast of GA, where the Winters are warm and the summers are hot and steamy and I have access to a beach 365 days a year.. Unfortunately, there are not many vegans and vegetarians in my Neck of the woods and I get strange looks when I proudly where my vegan tshirts and I get told that I'll never be able to build muscle on a plant based diet but I'm here To prove all those meatheads at the gym wrong.. I've been vegetarian and more recently Vegan for about 10 years now.. I never really liked the taste of meat and could go weeks without eating it and I watched some of the Videos on the PETA website and well that did it for me.. I'm 36 years old soon to be 37 on the 24th of this month and now more then ever I understand the importance of good heath and exercise.. I'm 5'6 and weigh between 133 and 135 pounds.. I would like to loose about 5 or 6 pounds but more importantly I would like to drop some body fat and then build some muscle. I've been lifting and running for about 8.5 years now.. I have probably started and stopped every program known to man.. From Body for life, New Rules of Lifting and various programs that I've lifted from popular bodybuilding sites. My problem is I get bored half way through and start something else.. Through all my trials and errors though, I have found that I like a four day split the best.. So this time around I've decided to keep things simple and follow the split outlined in Robert Cheek's Vegan bodybuilding.. I'm on my second week and so far so good.. I really like it and I think I can adapt it to my busy lifestyle.. Ok.. Sorry this was so long and I apologize for any grammar errors. I don't have internet at home right now so I'm using my phone to type this.. Today's workout Back and abs Assisted pullups 3x12 Bb Rows 3x12 Dead lift 3x12 Seated cable rows 3x12 SB straddle and reach 3x20 Cable rope pulldowns 3x20 Mountain climbers 3x20 Skipped cardio today because I was lacking the motivation (what a way to start off the new year lol) Food: So far today Meal one vega shake with almond milk and spinach Meal two. Smart life veggie bacon and half of a bagel Meal three veggie tacos with lettuce, tomato, boca crumbles and dayia cheese.. I eat way too much processed food and one of my goals is too eliminate that and focus more on whole foods.. That's it for now.. Happy NEW YEAR!!!
  5. Hi All, I'm new here but not new to veganism or training.. The 12 Days of Christmas sparked an intest with me so I decided to make a journal and get some accountablity from you fine people.. Stats Gender: Female Height: 5'6" Weight: 134 Goal Weight; 128 I will be back later to write more, as I'm at work and need to get back to work..
  6. Ditto: I got infected with MRSA about 5 years ago and had a devil of a time getting rid of it.. I had to take three round of antibiotics too.. I felt like crap for about 6 weeks.
  7. Hi Everyone, My name is Jen and I have been lurking here on this site for what feels like ages. I have been a vegetarian for over 7 years and an off and on vegan for three or four years. I recently decided that going back to a vegan diet is what is best for me, my body and my health. I love to run and workout and I'm at the point in my life where I'm ready to go further with my workout goals. Part of me would like to compete some day but another part of me just wants a buff body to show off to all of the naysayers at the gym who tell me you can't achieve the body I'm looking for on a vegan diet. I would rather work on the buff body right now then to even think about competing. I love this site. I love how everyone is so supportive and so positive. I will be making it my new home. I look forward to meeting some new cool vegan peeps
