Thursday

Thank you to those who voted! Some help you were! :p Though I suppose you helped me decide against doing the Brian Kest disc.

Instead, I skipped aerobics today and did an all yoga day.

Started with MTV Power Yoga. Wow. I think I can officially say that I kicked it's ass. Aside from some wobbles in the balance poses, I had *no* problems keeping up with any of this. All the places where I used to barely be able to do it, or wasn't strong enough at all, or when I used to *collapse* into the offered Child's Pose. None of that today. It was pleasantly challenging, and there were even moments where I was double checking with my body to see if I was doing something wrong because it was too easy. So! Kinda cool!

As this also used to be the disc by which I measured my fitness progress, I think we can safely say that I am back to my pre-pregnancy levels, and probably beyond, making me the most "in shape" I have been since I was 8, probably.

Followed up with the key piece of Lunar Flow, the Forward Bends and Twists. I think I am ready to start attempting to bind the Seated Twist. Not there yet, but I could feel how the leverage changed today when I made my attempt.

Also, since I'm rambling on, I have *finally* shed some sizes, and I am now wearing my size 14 khakis to work. The bad news is I think I only have one pair - I need to fish around to find the other two in my closet. I think they both have buttons off. Hopefully I can find the buttons, as I know this is an intermediate stage, so I'm not buying any clothes now. Going for the 12/10 size before I spend any money!
