Day Four

Day 4

   One word, "Yoga."  This was the most frustrating one yet.  When I saw them go out of a "warrior one" pose, bend one arm around their back, than wrap the other arm through their leg and grab their first arm, I just about freaked out.  I have to admit it made me mad that they were in such amazing shape, and I am stuck here in such poor shape.  Nevertheless, I hung in there.  It was a long exorcise, about an hour and a half!  Throughout the whole thing, except for the cool-down breathing at the end, my heart rate was a steady 135-140.
   Eating wasn't a problem either, although I was tempted to binge out on whatever was in the fridge.  Instead I just made a fresh-fruit smoothie.  It was sort of bland without the added sugar, but it might be that I'm not using the right combination of fruits.  Also, it was a lot of effort just to stem some minor stomach growling.
   All in all, it was a pretty good day, I am discouraged when I look in the mirror and don't see results, but seriously it's only the fourth day!  In either case I feel great, and the Yoga really helped a lot with my flexibility throughout the day.
