DAY FOUR

YogaX

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I completed YogaX this morning. The first time I ever did this video, I was home for the holidays with B2X, and I was laughing inside. Macho workout people never get real yoga right. It's never really a challenge.

Well, the joke is on me. It is still friggin' brutal to get through.

There is a water break about 20 minutes in - but there was no way I could wait until then to wipe all my sweat off and grab a drink. I was suh-wet-ting.

Normally, the highlight to my Body Flow classes is the balance track. I enjoy doing balance postures. This morning - it felt like I had inner ear problems. I was wobbly on everything.

I can't wait until I'm better at that video.

There's a fit test that they recommend you do first - I haven't done it (yet?) - but there is a flexibility test. When I was doing some moves this morning I was thinking that I should at least do that part of the test. I think that's an area that will really see improvements as things get cooking.

Today I had some healthy eating advice sent in by my friend LeLe. She recommended that I start making my own salad dressings. She and her husband did a big ol' cleanse last year and this is one of the things she continues to do - well, she does more than just this - anyway, this is something I'm interested in trying out. She also told me her favourite desk snack is almonds. I had some this afternoon to test her theory. She's right, it's a gooder. I had some dried cranberries with mine, just to give it a kick. Good times.

Oh wait! I didn't even tell you the most impressive part about YogaX. It's 90 minutes long. Hello? Do you know how many downward dogs you can do in 90 minutes? Millions.
