Goin Vegan...

Yup..going semi-Vegan for a week. Im not one into diets and calorie counting but I want to give this a try for a week and see the effects of how a semi-vegan diet feels like. I say semi vegan because I will be eating some beef somewhere around day 4 or 5. Day 0ne started today and should end Thursday next week. I'm not a vegetarian by any means but I'd like to see what the effects of a vegan diet does relation to fat loss. Just got done with Week 4 of my mbodystrength program which I was only hoping to do for a full month which I did in it's entirety and to Mark and Marcus - great stuff guys! Can't wait to get on some of your newer programs here soon. Some of your BW stuff is fun too which I hope to try here as well.

So I have decided to take a moderate break for a week starting today and see how just by doing a semi vegan diet approach feels like. Might be doing some bw stuff, some yoga and some stretching here and there...so this should be an exciting experiment.

So yesterday afternoon, I did some shopping at the local grocery market and went down a list of things I'll be eating. No peanut butter...no rice...no eggs...no junk. Nothing in this diet has any of that so I'd like to see what happens.

7 days isn't that hard to do if you really want to put your mind into it...and effective last night before going to bed, I made a contract to myself that I was going to do this for 7 days.

The only downside is that I did do a workout today and quite honestly, I feel ok. It's only been day one...but I honestly dont think I can handle this for more than a week. I'm just not that good with staying consistent - especially when Im not eating much carbs here at all. I've been peeing like crazy all day!!!

Anyway...here's to a great weekend!

This is going to be a tough week, Alex!!!! Never went this route before...but it would be such a revelation here.

I'm thinking of doing the TT Mini BW circuit with some 3 minute abs in em next week. Should be exciting...
