Fitness, fitness, and more fitness!

No wonder you approved my groceries!

Good for you! Did not know that.

I do interval training and am working on going vegan-ish (it's really hard to say no to meat indefinitely).

To maintain my health, I cook almost all of my meals, and I don't keep sweets at home (I have to go out to enjoy the single serving of pie or whatever it is.)
Chicken couscous recipe - uh, yes, please!
As far as working out, I find I get bored quickly, but I've been pretty consistent with running with my sister before church on Sundays. I also really enjoy yoga, and doing fitness blender workouts, just lack the motivation to stick to anything for long. I have a few friends who are into getting together for outdoor games of soccer, bball, etc, so I've been challenging myself to participate (had a hip muscle spasm from going hard @ soccer a month or so ago, eek) and live in an area where I can walk to just about anything, so i avoid driving unless its to work or the beach or something further.


One of my sisters went vegan, and she is trying to convince me - not having it.
But to her credit, she looks significantly leaner, and she was thin to begin with.

I'm not healthy, but (lol) I haven't had soda since February, and I've lost weight.

I use the treadmill, but I didn't this week. Please don't scold me. Lol

Yep, I do interval training as well in the mornings right before work and then I do T25 after work with a friend. I'm really curious about you being vegan. What made you decide to get into it?

hmm I workout 6 days per week. I do abs every day, it only takes about 20 minutes, so no excuse not to. I do upper body, weights, etc 3 times per week, stationary bike 3 times per week, at least an hour of basketball every day, and more. As far as diet, I haven't had a soda in almost 2 years. I typically stay away from breads and definitely away from desserts lol. I probably eat grilled chicken salads(with fruit in them) more than anything. Peanut butter is good too. So, yeah, basically high protein(I do take in a lot with my ''protein'' shakes for workouts). As far as drinks.. I only drink water, skim milk, and gatorade really. I've actually lost 51 pounds since January .

I'm a runner, have been for a few years, but I've recently started weight training. i love how that's going so far. I'm thinking about adding classes for fun/variety. My gym has kickboxing, boxing boot camp, cycling, and so on. What I'm really interested in is taking either boxing or martial arts classes as an adult.

As for food, I eat just about everything and anything I want with moderation. The less I work out, the less I indulge. I don't think I have a do not eat ever list.

WHAT? 51 pounds in six months? That is quite an accomplishment. You should feel extremely proud of yourself.

Your eating plan sounds similar to mine. I eat chicken all the time and salmon. What's your favorite kind of fruit to put in your salads?

Thanks, it wasn't easy . Umm strawberries for sure; sometimes apples, blueberries, or even banana lol.

Right on. T25 is some hardcore stuff!

Initially I had been backing away from meat purely from the scuttlebutt around the health benefits of doing so. The documentary Vegucated shed some light on animal treatment in modern American agriculture; pretty disgusting. Between having a heart for animals and being repelled by what they're put through (as well as them health benefits), I let up.

It's still new, but going okay.

Looking into a local Kung Fu class as well.

Banana? I've never tried that. I put strawberries and apples.

Haha it's ok, more a product of me using whatever I have at that moment lol.
