Yoga.
Today I did P90x Yoga. All of it. Whoa. I told you kids when I first tried it, I was like WHOA this isn't some wimpy 20-30 minutes of yoga. This is intense yoga. In the past, I'd bought yoga DVDs and then I'd pop them in and they'd just not do anything for me, plus they were usually like 1/2 hour. This is like a sweat fest and I'm not joking.
The other thing I realized today about yoga that is an added benefit. You simply are acutely aware of anything on your body - UM THAT SHOULDN'T BE THERE - LIKE FAT. Because when you are twisted around like an upside down pretzel- and you are contorted into all which ways but loose, you get to know every single point on your body and let me tell you- I look forward to not only getting BETTER AND BETTER and stronger and more flexible but- to noticing each time I do it that I am leaner also.
It's like weighing yourself or measuring yourself~ it's one other way to STAY ON TRACK- to be aware of everything about your body. If you aren't watching and feeling it all closely, it's way too easy to veer off track and then have to really GET BACK ON TRACK.
Be aware of EVERYTHING. EVERY DAY. ALL DAY. Stay focused and don't lose track. Don't stop tracking- I am a firm firm believer now more than ever that the vast majority of us need to keep tracking- whether it's "diet" journals and/or weighing or measuring ourselves weekly - to stay on course and notice if there are negative variances.
Remember I told you about that quote Tony Horton says in P90X about yoga; someone got it on YouTube: Check it out.

P90X Yoga is awesome. I love how challenging it is without using ANY weight. That is one DVD that I still use frequently.
Jacey I am so loving it too; so much more intense than I had expected.
