So here I am: a new member of this forum. I decided to start a journal because I am so bored right now. Not that I am always bored, it's just that I won't work for the next 3 weeks or so (at least, I have a good excuse!)

I will try to post my meal plan for each day and my training schedule. Only three things:

1- I'm a vegan. Eating meat and dairy products makes me

2- I usually train using high-intensity training, which means that I don't workout more than once a week!

3- Sorry for any mistakes in my following posts. Que voulez-vous, le français est ma langue maternelle!

Right now, I don't have particular goals... just have fun and enjoy life!

Salut, dear friends

Mathieu

Actually you type great English if French is your mother tongue. Good luck on the workout.

@Paynne: Thanks! All those trips and student exchanges helped me a lot. As for training, I think bodybuilding is the only sport where failure is good.

I didn't sleep well last night... I guess I will take a nap in the afternoon, because I need to be ready for summer school tonight .

Meal plan for today:

1- soy milk, chocolate soy milk, soy yogurt, banana, organic oatbran cereal, juice
2- bean salad, juice
3- salad (tofu, lettuce, tomato, carrots, celery, green pepper, oil, vinegar), apple, vegetable juice, potato
4- almonds & nuts
5- vegetables, fresh fruit, oats

After a 8 month break, I was finally back to weight lift 2 weeks ago:

These numbers may not seem very high, but I was doing sport-specific training (for swimming) before I began high-intensity training.

It is so hot and humid here in Montreal. I will definitely go outside and relax under a tree!!
