florida

Hello blog world.  As some of you may know, I am going to Florida on March 8th, and because of the trip, I've been dieting and working out, to get my hopefully 'four pack' by the time we leave. 
I usually run every night for four days now, I increase a mile each night, which has brought me to four miles.  I also do some ab work out like sit ups, planks, push ups, etc etc.
As for my dieting, I'm a vegan for lent, but also contributes to my diet.  I usually have an orange and peanut butter, or almonds and a smoothie for lunch, and peanut butter bread, veggies, and oatmeal or fruit.  So I think it's going pretty good.
But my parents aren't very fond of the idea of 'vegan.'  We actually have a big argument about every night, even though it's only 3 days into lent.  They say it's very unhealthy, but I feel as if it's helping me stay fit!
I personally like it, but maybe it's not suitable for the rate I'm exercising...
Any ideas or tips.?

  1. OK... well, it is healthy to be Vegan, IF you are eating enough proteins, whole grains, you know, enough of everything.

    I would recommend looking online for recipes. Make sure you are eating a variety of fruits and vegetables, not the same things everyday.

    Also... please do not call it 'dieting.' YOU do NOT need to diet - you are perfectly healthy the way you are!! If you want to call it a 'lifestyle change' then so be it. As long as you are eating enough calories and staying STRONG - because athletes need to be strong! -- then you are making good choices.

    That's my two cents for you :)
