Hey Stephanie!

 

Awesome work on your consistency! Keep up the great work!

 

Oh, and your homemade black bean burger sounds amazing! Care to share how you make it?

 

All the best!

Karen

 

Hey Karen,

 

Thanks for the support!! Here is the link to the black bean burgers I make...I make them with the oats and I bake them. I make large batches and then freeze the extras. It comes out to be about 200 calories per burger and about 9 grams of protein. http://edibleperspective.com/2011/07/the-burger/

Email me with an update when you get a chance. How are you feeling? I see that your weight hasn't gone down. But that doesn't mean you're not improving!! Remember, the scale is a tool. But it's not the whole picture. Take some more progress photos and compare them to the "before" shots. You may just be retaining a little water OR you may have put on a little more muscle, which would be GREAT!

 

As soon as you can get into the habit of tracking macros, I can zero in on small changes you may be able to make. Your increase in water is good. Keep it going!

 

Your workouts look great! : )

Took some more pictures this morning, no difference Still no difference in weight either Little discouraged.

 

I read on this forum, vegan blogs and every book/article I can get my hands on and everyone always says that going vegan and working out gives them so much energy and they feel great. Well, I have been vegan for over 7 years now and for over the past year I have been tired all the time (no matter how much sleep I get), have chronic headaches and generally feel like crap just about everyday (the weight won't budge either!). Not sure what I am doing wrong...is there something that I am missing. I eat all whole foods, nothing processed, drink only water, don't drink alcohol, never eat junk food, work out 5 days a week and get 8 hours of sleep a night. I'm very frustrated :/

Hi Stephanie

My name is Sandra and first of all I think MichelleRisley is your personal trainer and if that is the case I am really not trying to go against anything that she has told you but here is some helpful advice if you like. If not just ignore. I've been training for over 21 years and I've been a vegan for 3, best decision I ever made. Anyway just looking over your food journal try incorporating more whole food especially greens and fruit, eat as much of the greens and fruit as you like and limit your intake of processed foods and fats like peanut butter, nuts, oils etc.

 

Anyway I hope this was of some use.

Take care

Sandra

Hey Sandra,

 

Thanks for the advice. Honestly the only processed foods that I am eating at the pita bread (which has 4 ingredients), protein powder, soy milk and the little bit of catchup I use in the morning. When I do each peanut butter its only about a tablespoon. I cut the little bit of olive oil out of my diet and started cooking without it and making my salad dressings without it too. Everything else I eat is whole foods, I am actually pretty obsessive about everything I eat, whats in it and where it comes from. Michelle and I have been working on tweaking my diet a little bit. One of my problems is that I have found that being a vegan on a budget is a bit of an oxymoron

Hey thanks for the reply. I guess I was focusing on the triscuits and the wheat thins that I read, but if you have cut them out great. I do understand being a vegan on a budget, I'm in rabbinical school and I feel like I never have enough money. Have you checked out this blog http://veganonabudget.wordpress.com, I haven't read it in a while but it's pretty cool.

 

These days my diet consist of fruits and greens it works great for me, for my budget as well as how I feel. I will sometimes go out to eat with friends and eat other stuff, as long as it's vegan, but I feel better when I can stay totally clean. I was out of town for half of December and the first week of January and ate a lot of food that was processed and when I finally returned home, I felt heavier.

 

Anyway, good luck with everything and if I can help in anyway let me know. BTW I also have a training log that I just started and will probably post my food but have not gotten to that yet.

 

Here is my workout journal viewtopic.php?f=24&t=27490

 

Later,

Sandra
