Wot?
Um...hi?
So, I'm back. It took me leaving this place to realize that it actually can help me instead of letting it make me obsessed. I feel ready again. Ready in a different sense than before, but ready nonetheless.
I've never stopped working out, but I've surely let my nutrition slip. Between dating more, working more, and not giving a ****, I have put on some weight. That can be handled. This journal is to make me accountable(oh? that missing chocolate? i swear i didn't eat it!). Also, I'd like to see some improvement in this old machine of mine. I won't put a # on how much weight I'd like to lose, but losing enough to make me comfortable would be good.
I won't be counting macros. And I probably won't eat as much protein as you meat eaters(I'm still vegan), but I'll focus on nourishing, whole foods that support health. I'll be posting meals. You know, that whole accountable thing...
I'm working towards a 5k in April. And possibly another in the summer with a friend. And I'll still be lifting, though I'm not as strong as I used to be. That's alright and I will still post my weaking weights and not be ashamed.
Bizzack.

Better luck next time :D
I've been busy helping with my sister's baby shower, but now that it's over...time to get down to business. Today is week 1, day 1 of couch 2 5k. I know I can do this and more, but I'd rather start from the beginning and retrain myself as it worked out better for me this way. I'll be back later to post the workout and nutrition.

ah ha. how's your total training in regards to the 5k? more running and less lifting?
-
Ah that old C25K. Only program that ever got me to run more than 5 mins in a row LOL
-
[QUOTE=Miranda;446642411]ah ha. how's your total training in regards to the 5k? more running and less lifting?[/QUOTE]
I run 3 days per week and I'm still not sure on the lifting. Maybe 4 with one of those days being an AM run and a PM lift session. I'll decide tomorrow. :p

Week 1, Day 1 - couch 2 5k
[i]Workout notes[/i]
Was good! But it was cooooold. I felt like I could have done more, but I haven't run in a long time and didn't want to hurt myself.
[b][u]Nutrition[/b][/u]
Preworkout: smoothie(soymilk, banana, raspberries, agave), whole grain toast, earth balance
Postworkout: almonds, grape nuts, soymilk
Meal 3: field greens, cucumbers, beets, pistacios, balsamic vinegarette, garlic toast, apple
Meal 4: veggie lasagne, cherries
[i]Nutrition notes[/i]
Not enough food, really. Due to time constraints and food availability, I was a little limited today and scrounged until meal(which I made earlier in the day). Nothing junky, so that's good.
Meal 3

You guys are awesome, but you know it's going to get super repetitive, right? :p
So, I decided on a workout plan today. I love Chad Waterbury, so I'm doing his Triple Total Training routine for the next 40 days.
[u][b]Workout[/b][/u]
[i]All 6 sets of 3 reps and total weight listed[/i]
A1 DB Front Squat - 70 lbs
A2 Pulldown - 110 lbs
B1 Decline DB Press - 70 lbs
B2 Back Extension - 35 lbs
C1 Weighted V-Up - 20 lbs
C2 nothing...supposed to be seated calf raise but there were freaking hogs at the gym today
[i]Workout Notes[/i]
This was a quick but tough workout. I haven't done supersets in ages and really enjoyed it. It takes some careful planning(and bullying!) but it felt worth it.
[b][u]Nutrition[/b][/u]
Meal 1: oats, soymilk, raisins, pecans, blackstrap molasses, earl grey tea
Meal 2: two bean chili, quinoa cornbread, cashews
Preworkout: cherries, pistachios
Postworkout: boca patty, mashed potatoes, brussel sprouts with earth balance and nutritional yeast, pineapple
[i]Nutrition notes[/i]
Again, not quite enough food. I'm always running around, so it makes it a little tough. I have something in mind in order to eat a little more. I'll probably add a liquid meal when I wake up so that I can get in more veggies.

Toast the quinoa in a dry pan until it begins to pop. Remove from heat.
3/4 cup cornmeal
1 cup flour(I use whole spelt)
1 ts baking powder
1 ts baking soda
1/2 ts salt
Sift ingredients together in a small bowl.
5 TB oil(I use coconut)
1 cup milk(I use soy)
2 TB apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup agave nectar
Whisk together. Mix in dry ingredients until combined. Pour into greased 8''x8'' inch pan. Bake 18-20 minutes or until top is golden.
Let me know if you try it!

Humm... 3 days in the 'not much hunger' front + some running = either today or tomorrow hunger
Good luck with that

How has the weather been down your way?

Not looking foward to it!
[QUOTE=StlBarbie;447964621]How has the weather been down your way?[/QUOTE]

Hunger still in check! I still didn't really get that much more food in, but that's alright. I got in some extra veggies and I'm happy about that. Postworkout dinner was ah-mazing!
