Sorry about that, Frodo. Just realized that there is another exercise known as the v up where you lay on the ground and crunch your body into a v shape. That's not the one I've been doing. I've been getting my body into an l-sit position and very crappily attempting to lift the legs to a vertical position, as in the famous Bruce Lee photo: I just do a (weak) wersion of this where I'm balancing on the rings, as opposed to the floor. paz, dormindo
Cool! I'm with you now! Coach Sommer calls those L-sit lifts or V-up lifts depending on the angle/height of the legs. Cheers for the clarification!
Hey! I was just posting on your log! Well, the way I did them today, I'd call them 'wobbly legs get a few inches past horizontal while wobbly arms try to hold the body still' lifts. Okay, enough happy banter for now, time to get to campus. paz, dormindo
ROTFLMAO! That's kind of the way I should describe my runs! They're more of an 'unco-ordinated, wobbly stagger in an almost forward direction'!
Oh, I needed that laugh! Here's to challenging ourselves to be better--for no discernible reason! paz, dormindo

Today's food log. Morning Didn't eat--had too much to do. Afternoon Salad Grape Juice Evening Loads of orange juice Not a good eating day for me today--things were too rushed. Calories: 2,312
I know your vegetarian, but are you able to drink milk? In your past food logs I really haven't seen much milk (If I'm wrong please do inform). If not, Soy milk is a good alternative, and had basically the same amount of protein as cow's milk. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_milk Anyways, hope you recover and get back up to where you were!! EDIT: Never mind, disregard what I have said. No milk when Vegan, right?
Couldn't tell if you're joking/being sarcastic because of the first statement, but I do get plenty of protein. Not a lot yesterday, to be sure, but on Monday, I got 70g. I've been lazy the past few days due to other commitments and have just posted calorie totals. From here on in, I'll post nutritional info, too. paz, dormindo
You're correct, no dairy. I do get plenty of protein, though. On my lowest days, I tend to get at least 55g, which is slightly less than the recommended minimum, but lately I've been easily in the 60-70g range (I'm 6'2", about 182-185lbs and 39 years old--not a young Turk looking to bulk up). Of course, if anyone has reasons they think I should up my protein intake, I'm certainly not above hearing them. paz, dormindo
I'm genuinely curious, but where do you get the majority of your protein from? I know Tofu for one has a moderate amount of protein but my knowledge concerning this area is lacking.
Protein is in all foods, including plant foods, so I get it from my diet. Using a tool like Cron-o-Meter helps to demonstrate what we are eating (generally) in terms of both micr and macronutrients. Oh, and I don't eat tofu, though, of course, many vegans use tofu or nuts as a source of protein. I know this is a Yahoo Answers link, though the respondent did source their info, but here are some numbers: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20090619130945AArBeLK Otherwise, just play around with fitday or cronometer, plugging things in and checking the protein count. It's lower than meat/tofu for sure, but eat in volume anyway, if you haven't guessed by my calorie counts. paz, dormindo
