1/15/2013- Half way through my vegan challenge

Today officially marks my half way point to my 30 day vegan challenge and I must admit it has been fun and challenging. I am learning a lot about nutrition and how the human body works and what it needs to survive. I may not be cut out for a vegan lifestyle but I am definatly giving it a good run.
Todays workout: Started my day at 5:30 with a 30 minute bike ride on my stationary bike, it is still a little too cold and dark in the morning for any outdoor activities. I followed up my bike ride with a short routine on my excersise ball. After that time to hit the showers and get ready for work. After work I decided to brave the unseasonably cold socal weather and go for a run. I never thought layering running clothes would ever come in handy here in sunny socal, but none the less I layered up and headed out the door. I managed to get in about a mile before I thought my lungs were going to freeze. So, I headed home and hit the weight bench. I'm still at a pretty low weight but its getting easier to finish my reps. I finished up my day with an amazing yoga session.
Green Smoothie: I am also on week two of my green smoothie challenge. Todays smoothie was a peach, mango, pineapple, pomegranate green smoothie. The green part comes from spinach, kale, cucumber and green apple juice. I love the amount of nutrition I am able to pack into one meal with these type of smoothies, and theu taste amazing
Talk to ya'll tomorrow.
