Day 27: Yoga X

18Apr08

I wish Yoga X wasn’t so long so I could do it at night instead of in the morning.  This one is really tough to get through at 5AM because I’m so stiff and it takes me a while to get going.  It was just okay for me today, not as good as the last time.  Again I think it’s because it’s so early.  I’m thinking about breaking this one up, doing the balance poses and on in the AM and doing the endless downward dogs at night when I’m warmer.

I couldn’t help myself this morning, so I broke out the scale from it’s hiding place in my bedroom closet and took a peek.  160.6.  I’m very very pleased.  That was the weight I was at back in early December, a weight I haven’t seen since then.  So that’s 7 pounds since the start of Week 2.  I’ll have official measurements and numbers on Sunday before I start Phase 2.

Eats are good.  I’m trying to eat as cleanly as possible, mini meals, and have a lean protein, a complex carb and a vegetable at every meal.  I planned on oatmeal this morning, and thought I was cute trying to put some frozen berries in it, but I prefer fresh fruit in my oatmeal or cereal as opposed to thawed/previously frozen.  I ate half a spoonful and threw the rest out.  Then I didn’t want oatmeal anymore but couldn’t decide what I DID want.  I ended up having some turkey bacon, egg whites with green peppers and mushrooms and a piece of whole wheat toast.  I think that qualifies as a clean breakfast.

So with the exception of X Stretch tomorrow, this ends my recovery week.  I’m excited about beginning a new phase, and getting to use some new workouts.  I certainly enjoy those weeks much more than I do the recovery week.  After I weigh and measure and take pics on Sunday the scale goes back into it’s hiding place for another 30 days.
