If God wanted us to bend over he'd put diamonds on the floor. -Joan Rivers

And even if diamonds were on the floor I still don’t think I could bend over (with my knees straight) and pick any up.

Day 3 was Yoga – and I did not like the workout one bit! It has been the longest DVD so far, about 1 ½ hrs. Now let me start this by letting you know I am probably the least flexible person in the world – and so is Kyle. I’ve never been able to touch my toes. I remember in elementary school we would do the “Presidential Fitness Tests” every year and I would sit with my legs out in front of me and barley get my fingers to the line to pass the test. Anyway, Kyle is in the same boat – so if neither of us could touch our toes when we were 10 how are we expected to do it now?
The first 1/3 of the DVD is serious yoga! It was really hard and my legs, arms and shoulders were on fire. Most of the positions were hard for me and I couldn’t really keep up with Tony so I took a lot of breaks. Also, I didn’t like that it was basically 45 minutes of doing the exact same thing again and again just adding an extra position at the end. The middle section was the easiest for me. It was just holding poses instead of transitioning from one to another. My balance on my right leg is much better, and my right side of my body is much stronger, but my left side is much more flexible. So, we made it trough this section without any breaks and kept up with Tony. The last part was yoga abs. These would not have been so bad except my abs were still so sore from day 1 and day 3. My abs hurt all over! But the yoga stretched me out and I felt much better at the end of the DVD than I did before I started it. So, I guess this is a good workout, not exactly my style of working out, but I’m going to keep an open mind and keep doing it!
Still, food intake is good. I haven’t had any brake downs yet, so all is good. Since the weekend is coming up I’m going to have to work extra hard to keep my self in check, but I can do it.
