2 Days into Week 8

Reluctantly did Yoga X Monday morning. I still hate it, but am growing to tolerate it. It is hard. The human body can only do so many vinyasas. Had a hockey game last night. First 2 shifts were tough after not playing in 3 weeks. I could hardly breathe, but after that I felt really good. I had really good energy. Some of my teammates commented after the game that I had some jump in my step that had not been there for quite awhile. I did not notice it so much myself. But if those idiots give you a compliment either they are yanking your chain or in the rare instance being serious. Since I had not done anything to provoke a ball busting, I will take it as a compliment.

Woke up this morning and could barely move. I was sore from head to toe! I did get a welcome surprise. I weighed in and discovered I had lost a total of 8lbs. I have lost 5 in the last two weeks which means I am back on track. I have lost 3.5 inches in my chest, and 4 inches in the gut/waist! The belt is down 1 to 2 notches depending on the water retention.

The inches are falling. I can only explain the lack of weight loss to the continuous build up of muscle.

Back to today. I held off on the workout until lunch and then knocked out Core Synergistics. I was able to do the plank to chaturanga run to completion for the first time. That was my 8th time doing this workout, and I get better at it every time. I also sweat my ass off more each time.

Got my fingers crossed for a Salmon dinner tonight.

Kenpo X tomorrow.

Look for another update in a week.
