SoF Vs. June
Wow, it has been a month hasn't it? I find my self in front of a computer with time on my hands crazyness.
So my first challange ended. OK, so the stats on that. I gained. Yep. I gained 15 lbs of muscle. In the last 4 weeks, the weight did not change, only the amount of muscle. that was up 4 lbs.
So how goes the vegan plan? We it goes, I am eating a lot better, though that was not was not bad to begin with. I will give you a run down of the food after I catch up.
Exercise, Yeah, I increased the intensity of my workouts, so much so, that during a pickup game of football with all of my friends (most of whom workout, not to the level that I do though as I will explain). After the game, I am the only one not huffing and puffing, though a couple recovered better than others. We had to stop playing because one of them started to lose lunch. It was funny though.
I will walk you through a typical workout week for the summer.
Monday: Leg day, Squats, leg press, Dead lifts. Etc. I also Bike about 10 miles.
Tuesday: Upper body day: I was doing so many exercises, that I split some into the leg day. No Biking
Wednesday: Long bike day. Between up to 20 miles. Depending on time constraints.
Thurdays: Repeat monday
Friday: Repeat Tuesday
Sat: Repeat Wed
Sun: The quentessential sabbath.
I still work 30 hours as well, in addition to planning for school.
Food Planning:
Meal One: 4 tbsp of Hemp protien with OJ Calcium. This is also my pre-workout meal. One of the two most important meals of the day.
Meal Two: 1 Serving of Vega Whole food Health Optimizer with OJ. This is my post-workout meal. The most important meal of any training day.
Meal Three: If I am having meat I typically have Eggs. About 4 egg whites, 2 bananas, and 4 dates. If I am eating more Vegan, then I have my salad typically. Mixed nuts, fruit, spinach, other good things.
Meal Four: Sometimes I have A vegan raw Pizza, these are amazing, and I have gotten my co-workers to enjoy it as well.
Meal Five: Typically a mix of nuts and fruit. I make raw burgers, from vegan sources. these are also great.
Meal Six. If I am having meat, it is Tuna or chicken with EFA oil. Otherwise it is just mixed nuts.
I have very few true grains anymore, I have rice, though not too much.
That is about it for me. I will offer this as advice for those looking to be more active. When you are planning a meal, use this simple formula:
Fiber Fat carbohydrate(from fruit preferably) Lean Protien. In that order for importance. I could go on about how this is effective, and tell you all the great point about it, though there is this great chart off to the side that tells you how I am doing.
Have a great summer, I will check in soon.
