Day 4

Day 4: You wanna go? Namaste.

Ok, I'll admit it. I couldn't get up this morning. It's really great that I felt guilty about it, though! But then it sucked knowing that this meant I would have todo Yoga X, the longest work out, at the end of the day. It kind of turned out to be a blessing in disguise, though, since it ended up being a long day and relaxing with yoga was actually really nice. Knowing that I wasn't going to eat dinner til after yoga, meaning very late, I spaced out my meals and snacks accordingly. The key is to keep feeding your body so it doesn't go into starvation mode and start storing fat. This is why I have snacks between meals; a protein bar between breakfast and lunch, and turkey jerky, fruit, or nuts between lunch and dinner. Today, I also had a protein shake before I left work to get me through yoga and hold me over to dinner. 

Yoga. Is. Intense. Holy crap! How are you supposed to relax when trying to twist your body is so stressful! Especially when you're not flexible! No, I was actually pretty happy with how much less of a struggle yoga was today in comparison to last week. I was also very excited that I was actually able to hold myself up in the crane position for about 10 seconds at a time, which I couldn't do at all last week. I'm looking forward to being able to hold myself up for the entire amount of time soon! Then I can go around and show off... and you know, stand in that position in... the mall or something... I don't know. Maybe I'll keep it to the confines of my room. 

Anyway, food. For breakfast I made a soy sausage wrap in a whole wheat tortilla with a little bit of low fat cheese. For lunch I made a delicious steak salad with non-fat italian dressing. For dinner, I made chicken with green beans and quinoa, topped with a home-made honey ginger sauce that I made. It was a little honey heavy, but still delicious!
