Bank Holiday Weekend

As a vegan I’ll be eating something vegan, as it’s a Monday I’ll be starting C 25K week 8 run 1, I’ll walk 1 mile around a local beauty sport and do a shirt hill run in the evening. All that, I hope, will give me a good nights sleep! Whatever everyone does, stay safe.

Hey Hidden this will keep you fit and guarantee a good nights sleep and as you’re a vegan you might like Vegan foods for life:

I have no structure to my forthcoming weekend I know I want to see my son but have so many things to do I’m happy with this.

Good luck with your 25K and your hill run and then relax...👍

Thanks Jerry, I did my 26 minutes this morning and walked a mile this afternoon. Supermarkets are doing some really tasty vegan grub these days. Before it was so sparse but there’s so much on offer. Next run Friday, I’ll aim for 27 minutes but I might push it to 28.

That’s awesome VeganDave. It’s wonderful to feed yourself with healthy vegan meals, reducing carbon footprint on this earth. With that much of exercise I’m sure you will have a great night sleep! 😁👍

I’m vegan by accident, I was vegetarian but I made too much acid which was caused by caffeine and dairy, so no milk, butter, cheese and worst of all, no chocolate. ☹️ But I’ve found a vegan chocolate bar. 😋

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I’m pescatarian and in the transition to be Vegan. Definitely dairy products, cheese, spices cause us acid reflux and heartburn. I’m trying to eat healthy and load myself with probiotics. Im glad you found a vegan chocolate bar to enjoy 😋

I’m Vegan too Dave similar to you by accident. 4 years now and I love my diet 🌱 Thanks for those links Jerry 👍

[Hidden in reply to PollyGray]

We have more choice now thanks to the vegan society and others campaigning.

I used to eat fish a long time ago, I think I’d be worried about all the plastic in the oceans. I do hope I’m eating enough now taking on C25K as a couple of years ago my red blood cell count was low and I lacked iron. Tis kismet.

[PollyGray in reply to Hidden]

Yes I am just having my bloods checked again but I do supplement B12 and stick to Dr Gregors daily dozen and have never had a problem. You are right Dave the

choice is fantastic however the only one thing I cannot find a decent replacement for is cheese and prior to changing my diet that was what I loved. Replacements are all coconut oil based and smell vile.

[Hidden in reply to PollyGray]

Yes, cheese is a problem though I have found a vegan Greek cheese in Tesco which I liked. I’ll get the make when I go there tomorrow.

[PollyGray]

Great please let me know which one it is and I will give it a try 👍 Applewood is the only one I can use sparingly at the moment.

[Hidden in reply to PollyGray]

Hi Polly, it’s called Violife Greek White. It’s better than some vegan cheese I’ve tasted, some of which have gone in the bin after one mouthful! This one I managed to eat.

Great thanks for that VeganDave I will give it a try 👍

[Midori]

Good Grief, you're a busy boy! I could never have done that, even before I became disabled!

[Hidden in reply to Midori]

I do take my time though. Keep 🏃‍♂️

[Midori]

At 73, it's hard to get around!

[Hidden in reply to Midori]

Only do what you’re comfortable with, but above all enjoy what you do.

[Midori in reply to Hidden]

Oh I do, this old bird won't give up. I'm growing old disgracefully!

[Hidden in reply to Midori]

That’s the spirit!!

Another Began popping in to say hi 👋I'd completed C25K on three previous occasions..

And had to stop due to various injury..

but this last time I had been Vegan for a year and also took up strength training on alternate days..

This time around not a single injury..have increased my distance to 14K

And never felt better in my 54 years!!

The power of plants💪

Keep up your good work

. wishing you well 🍆🌽🍅🙏

[Hidden in reply to sparky66]

Thank you sparky66, I also do strength training, I have weights at home, I aim to do one set in the week and one set at the weekend, only about 30 minutes each time but I think it helps. Also I have to balance all this exercise with the diet, being vegan.

[sparky66 in reply to Hidden]

You know that should have been Vegan not began 😂

[Hidden in reply to sparky66]

My iPhone does it all the time!🙂
