Day 31 & 32 YogaX & Chest&Back

Day 31- I skipped today cause my baby came home from being away. I missed him!! :) Oh no, I didn't do yoga - LOL ooops!

Day 32- Chest&Back
Ouch! I surprised myself and did quite a few reps on the VARIOUS types of push-ups. But the diamond ones? EW- ugly ugly form. Had to drop to knees for 2nd round to get the depth I need. Wrote down all my reps etc. Good stuff.
AbX-still focussing on doing 20 reps of each and when I feel like I'm dying I do just the simple pilates crunch with knees bent. Better than just lying on the mat right? :)

Day 27- YogaX

Uuuuuuuuugh! I still really really dislike this module! :( The beginning ashantas are getting easier SLIGHTLY, the balance poses are ok the rest just suuuuuuucks.
Nothing good to say about today so I'll stop.

Day 22- YogaX

I cheated again today, there was just no way I was going to do this workout unless I went to a class. I went to a Bikram's hot yoga class.... wow- I forgot how intense these classes are! I used to go quite often last year, but my joints just tend to hyperextend so... I chose to cut back so I could continue running/ working out. But man do I miss it! This is the ONLY 90min of any day that you are guaranteed to not think about ANYTHING but the present moment. Your body, your sweat, your muscles and these crazy postures! A funny thing happened yesterday though... I looked in the mirror and saw shoulder muscles!! COOL! :) More defined than I remember them anyway. And alot of the postures were easier than I remember, I'm stronger now that I'm doing this program that's for sure! :)
I'll keep going to yoga classes I think, I like the variety it brings to the week :)

Day 18 - Yoga Day

So I'm going to cheat today and actually GO to a power yoga class. This is the one workout that bores me silly! I get frustrated and I KNOW I'm doing half the stuff wrong 'cause I'm just not very bendy. I figure going to a class would be beneficial in a couple ways...
1- I will actually do it
2- I do it right with the help of my yoga teacher
3- makes me not want to whine about having to do yoga. (And THAT is a blessing for everyone reading this ;) )
4- I won't have to dread this part of my path to success :)

Nutrition part is going... OK... just ok. My guy and I have been making all our own meals from the Eat Clean Diet Cookbook. GREAT food, we've only had one dud. So that's helped. Breakfast is usually a shake or some organic oatmeal with brown rice milk. Must try to do better here though.

Day 11 - Yoga X

God I HATE this module. It just seems to go by sooooooo slowly! I'm not very flexible so I can't do all the moves. I wonder if it would make much difference if I just WENT to a yoga class. I think I'd rather do that. I think it would help me focus too.

I'm pretty strong but I for sure can't do crane and that damn move where they reach under their leg to grab the other hand behind the back? OMG!! not a chance!

My biceps are hurting from the arm workout still... not too bad though.

YogaX… YogaYuck! Oh man I am sooooo not good at this. I haaaaaaaaaate the first half of this thing! Ugh… I suppose it will get better over time but for now, I’ll whine. I did it though, and that’s enough for today.
Nutrition… I seem to have a problem when I’m not at work. I have no problem untill dinner time when I need to snack and often get lazy. How annoying that I know that the problem is but choose not to do anything about it. :S
