Day 4 - Yoga X

After a good night's rest last night, I woke up this morning and had some breakfast: some oatmeal with blueberries and some whey protein powder mixed with water. I then went out to the grocery store to pick up a few things: eggs, egg whites, 2% cottage cheese, ground turkey breast, and some frozen green beans for Gabriel. Typically, I try to make it a point to bike to the grocery store since it's not that far away, but being that to move my bike from the apartment patio out the front door would necessitate making a lot of noise and waking up Gabriel, I opted to drive instead. If I have to go back to the store later, I'll bike. Otherwise, it will have to wait until next weekend.

When I returned, I decided to do what was on my workout schedule: Yoga X. As I had stated during Cardio X, I typically skip yoga because it usually bothers my wrists, but I decided this morning I wasn't going to let the thought of them hurting me keep me from working out before they actually bother me. So I set out and popped the the 90 minute workout. A small part of me was nervous, but I quickly quieted it and focused at the task at hand.

I made it through the first 32 minutes before I stopped with the moving options. It was at this point my wrists started to feel fatigued so I pressed on by skipping the last 15 minutes of moving options and moved to the balance postures and stretching. I did all of that. When I all was said and done, I did an hour and fifteen minutes of the video out of the 90 minutes. I did all but 15 minutes!! I think that's great!!! I'm quite happy and proud. I really think that's the best Yoga X session I've ever done.

Later on this evening, I may or may not do some extra cardio. We'll see how I feel. Part of my plan involves doing extra cardio several days a week, however, since I'm not quite over my cold I don't want to over do it and relapse. I still have a bit of a cough that is slowly getting better. Once that goes away, I'll jump into doing doubles, but right now, I'm just going to do the best I can with one workout a day and if I feel up to doing a second and have tons of extra energy, I'll go for it.

While it's still pretty early in the day, I will have to say, today is shaping up to be another good day.

Overall rating for the day: solid 8
