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.

Well I am joining in for the ride. I missed your journal the first time round and seeing as its the place to be, can't have that happening again.

Hey, we've all got something to strive for!
As if you don't know!
Well, hello Little Marto's mommy
Yup!
LOL You are a mess, Serine! You've been missed for sure.
Thanks, Lou!
Awesome to be back!
Thanks, Val! My old journal had gotten long and ridiculous, so this is a good time to start.
Wot wot! Cool.
Whatevsssss
Better luck next time
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.Currently fluctuating in beautiful pulses

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.
Workout
Week 1, Day 1 - couch 2 5k
Workout notes
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.
Nutrition
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
Nutrition notes
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.

You guys are awesome, but you know it's going to get super repetitive, right?
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.
Workout
All 6 sets of 3 reps and total weight listed
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
Workout Notes
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.
Nutrition
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
Nutrition notes
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.Currently fluctuating in beautiful pulses

Preheat oven to 425 degrees

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 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!
My butt hurts.
Hey Jenny! Yep, still cooking...it's just part of me. Haha!

I have no idea. I am old fashioned in that respect. Bread machine? PHOOEY!
Not looking foward to it!
It's been chilly(for this area, at least) but it's been beautiful outside. I am loving it so long as I don't have to be cold for long.
Workout
All 2 sets of 24 reps, 90 seconds rest, and total weight listed
A1 BB shoulder press - 30 lbs, drop 20 lbs
A2 reverse lunge - 40 lbs
B1 upright row - ez bar, I can't recall it's weight
B2 DB curl - 20 lbs
C1 tricep pressdown - 30 lbs
C2 side lat raise - 10 lbs
Workout Notes
OH.MY.GAWD. I thought it would be easy. Everything burned. I thought my bicep would pop out of my arm. I had to rearrange things due to lots of people there, but it worked out fine.
Nutrition
Meal 1: green drink(banana, kale, peaches, water)
Meal 2: lentil soup, cherries, cashews
Preworkout: whole grain bread, avocado, apple
Postworkout: chickpea gravy, kale and olive oil mashed potatoes, balsamic brussel sprouts, pistachios, pineapple
Nutrition Notes
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!Currently fluctuating in beautiful pulses
