I'm still doing my thing in the gym, staying big, strong, old. All at the same time. I may do a powerlifting meet later this year, but that is just to have a little fun with the ones I'm training.

I’m still training too. Far from strong, but stronger than ever at 45.
Should I just give up on being trim? |

Bench has gotten back to about 85% of what it was before I had the pec tear. Quote:
We made a big decision this year and went vegan. My weight was at an all time high of 243, BP was 157/97, and my resting pulse is 101. Got heart problems on the male side of my family. Had to make a drastic change in hopes of improvement or I won't be here too much longer.

Hopefully it works for you! One of my gym friends is a little older than me and had a heart attack last year. Scary stuff. He’s always swole and did comps when he was younger so I’m sure he’s worked his body pretty hard.
Now he’s on a heart healthy diet- no red meat, no animal protein. He says it’s tough, but he’s bigger and leaner than I’ve ever seen him. |

How is the vegan working for you. Lots of good plant based proteins out there. I have a friend that did his first Triathlon, the Arizona Triathlon in Nov, and he is pure vegan diet and is in great shape. |

He will be 79 next month and is plugging along fine. He made some drastic changes to his eating habits as well but he is not vegan. Quote:
Truthfully, it's fine. I thought it would actually be much harder.....especially just jumping off the cliff and not "easing into it". 1st week was tough figuring out how much to eat and when, but this past week was a breeze. A few of the meals we've had are just OK, but a couple have been surprisingly really, really good. I can say I feel somewhat better day to day and I for sure don't feel as bloated. I am down 7.3 lbs so far. But it's a marathon so we will have to see how it pans out with regards to sustainability, injury, etc.

Some updates...
8 weeks into the vegan "thing". Going good. Initially according to the inBody scan I dropped a lot of muscle. Was down 7lbs at one point. Now my scan is showing only down 3lbs of muscle mass....rest is BF. Down from 243.6 to 224.8. Monique is crushing the vegan thing. We eat essentially the same thing so while I am most likely NOT getting enough protein she is getting plenty. She has lost 1lb of muscle rest is BF...she is down from 151.8 to 133.7. This is the lowest she has weighed since we went to Mexico in 2013. Her BF % according to the inBoday scan is 13%.

In addition she just finished the Crossfit AGOQ. There's good news and bad news. She hurt her shoulder doing the overhead squat, chest to bar pullup workout. Most she has ever overhead squatted was 115lbs..not an issue squatting but as discussed her olympic lifts, while they have gotten better (she set an 18lb pr in the clean and jerk during the qualifier) they still aren't great. She managed to get 145lbs overhead and do 2 reps. So she pr'd by 30lbs and did it twice. But when she went to do a third one, man her arm looked like a spaghetti noodle so she dropped it. Just a strain, but for sure cost her in the other events.
So she didn't qualify for the games. She finished 2 spots lower than last year. I guess it's a win considering she's a year older and was hurt for most of the qualifier. That being said.... The good news is, even hurt, she managed to finish in 1st place in the world for one workout (100 dumbbell snatches, 50 cal row, 100 burpees over bar). It's the first time she's accomplished this! 30 MONIQUE GUNTER United States United States Age 46 62 in | 140 lb View Profile 229 46th (260 reps) 4 rounds + 8 thrusters 20 double-unders Judged by Jacqui Mims at CrossFit Mayhem. 53rd (92 reps) 15 C2B pull-ups 10 overhead squats 15 C2B pull-ups 10 overhead squats 15 C2B pull-ups 10 overhead squats 15 C2B pull-ups 2 overhead squats Tiebreak: 5:10 Judged by Anniston Cooper at CrossFit Mayhem. 1st (13:52) 250 reps Judged by Jacqui Mims at CrossFit Mayhem. 35th (7:33) 3 rounds Judged by Anniston Cooper at CrossFit Mayhem. 75th (158 lb) Weight lifted: 158 lbs Bodyweight: 137 lbs (Tiebreak) Judged by Anniston Cooper at CrossFit Mayhem. 19th (6:57) 2 rounds Judged by Anniston Cooper at CrossFit Mayhem.
