For lunch we went to go to Cous Cous, and incidentally, if you live in RVA and get a Val-Pak in your mailbox every month, there will always be a buy-one-get-one-free coupon in there for this place. They have delicious…

More big weights, and now on to something better
My final routine of this power phase is completed. I threw legs in with arms because the routine for them will remain the same until my knee feels 100%. I’d like to give more thanks to Marcella for her…
My Weight Loss So Far
Here’s an interesting thing: even though I can’t say I’ve really made any special effort to lose weight over the seven years that I’ve been vegan, I have lost a lot. Most of it very slowly over 5 years of…
More Great Workouts and Some Important Nutritional Observations
Two more workouts to list today. I am now in my power phase, so my workouts have been mostly me sitting around and once in a while lifting very heavy weights. It’s not very exciting, but it is…
Fried food makes my stomach hurt
We decided yesterday to get Vietnamese for lunch, at Mekong because they at least offer brown rice instead of white, and lots of vegan menu options (forgot to bring the camera, doh!). I didn’t want any rice or anything saucy…
Two workouts and a lot of food later…
I was too tired to post last night, so tonight without further ado I will put them up. Yesterday I managed to get both arms and shoulders in because I had some cancellations in the afternoon, and today I went…
Lions and Pizza and Pears, oh my!
Shoulders day is my very favorite workout day, something I never would have imagined. I used to have a lot of rotator cuff issues with my shoulders and couldn’t extend or bring in my arms at certain angles and they…
Is that all I’m eating?
I know Marcella is covering our meals, but for anyone who is curious I thought I’d mention that I also eat several other times throughout the day. I have always had a very fast metabolism, and with such a lean…
Hooray for Chest/Back Day!
My favorite day finally came around again today, and I also had slightly sore legs for the first time in ages. I had a cancellation this morning so I found myself in an empty gym with nearly two full hours…
The Doubtful Salad, and other stories
Chest/Back day, second only to shoulder day imo. Sadly, we got a late start so I had to work out at home, followed of course by the usual fruit/protein shake … I’ve decided that a rushed, sub-par home workout, even…
Derek’s Workout
Today was an exciting day (haha) because I was able to do a full-blown legs routine without my knee acting up. I went light on the exercises, but this is very much what one of my leg routines would normally…
Marcella’s Workout and What We Ate Today:
Like Derek, I do a 4 day training split: Chest/Back, Shoulders, Arms, and Legs. I don’t follow a set routine on a given day, I just pull from the grab bag of exercises we do depending on what equipment’s open…
