Vegan Shakeology

I got my vegan Shakeology in the mail today!  I have been wanting to add this to my breakfast routine since I got back from deployment.  I will have a little more feedback on it in the coming days, but I am really excited that Beachbody has realized the benefits of vegan and vegetarian eating.  While I am staying full vegan my wife is following the vegetarian plan found in the Team Beachbody website, which does allow for dairy and eggs.  In saying that, you can modify the plans to avoid these items if you so choose.

Recipe from my Beachbody vegetarian meal plan! Snow peas, edamame, and spinach noodles.

Capt'n Karls 60K at Pedernales Falls

I am proud to say that this weekend I completed my first ultra-marathon trail run.  It was a 60 kilometer (37.2 mile) run conducted mostly in the dark.  I was able to finish in an admirable, for me at least, 8 hour and 29 minute time span.  I was really happy with my time.  I would encourage anyone to train for and attempt something like this.  It provided a real sense of accomplishment for me, and helped bolster the fact that my new low-fat vegetarian diet is really uplifting my health despite the naysayers.  Capt'n Karls race site
