Morning!
Well! 3 weeks of getting up at 12:30am or 3:30am etc. have finally caught up to me! I gave myself permission again to sleep late, and got up at 5:30am, full of energy. ‘Course, at that time, I had to dedicate myself to the kids and husband…so I started Yoga Death (my fond name for it) at 9am.
First, the good news. I’m getting stronger! It’s still ‘way killer for me to do and some poses had my arms literally shaking as they wanted to buckle (but I didn’t!). But! I can balance myself in the shoulder stand much much better, and can actually do a half-buttocked example of the runner’s pose. Crane stance, ain’t no way in heck I’m going to try that with my wrists yet….better to wait for them to gain in strength.
I was able to bend touch my face to my knees completely when doing the hamstring stretch (yay!) and also fold my knees over my ears when doing the plough hold. While in that position, I noticed…my legs are much thinner and my belly is much smaller! P90x really is helping deliver to me my fitness goals.
I don’t despise this DVD as much as I did before. It looks like I’ll be joining the ranks of people who at first hated it but then admitted…it grew on them.
Because I didn’t do my cardio this morning at the gym, I’ll probably try TurboJam or CardioTease and see how that treats me. And in the afternoon, hopefully it’s karate bootcamp (yay!) and then I can relax.
And that be Day 18,
Barbara
