I haven't been in the mood for this one yet today. I'm not sure this will make me any more likely to do so. She lost her balance two days ago (I think that's when it was?), too. Of course, she said she was sore because she'd been doing so many yoga classes, and I don't have that excuse.
I've never really considered this a competition, but that's not because of any yoga mindset or rah rah we can do this let's support each other niceness. It's because you've always been ahead of me. I love that I finished this before you and you are struggling with motivation. Look at me, on one summer Sunday I was better than krista4. Don't worry, you don't need to do this one, you can just quit if you don't think you can handle it.
Are you tracking calories at all or just eyeballing it and eating mostly vegetarian? A burger isn't really that bad on calories. Even with cheese and a bun and some ketchup it's still not that bad. The problem is when you have the sides, the beers, the second burger... that's what sinks your diet. But in keeping with your new vegetarian ways... have you tried the impossible burgers? I've heard good things even from non vegetarians, and this seems like a good opportunity to try them if you haven't yet
Oh man, I’d love one of those impossible burgers actually. I’ve had them from Burger King. Mrs. O is of the view that some meat here and there is a good thing especially since I’m working out. I think I’m fine with it as the only “meat meal” this week.
I did it. Those standing one-legged thingies were brutal. It was a time when I was glad we weren't filming it.
Question for the yoga people (and I know some of you are not still doing this which is fine).
I’m in. I’ll follow whatever yoga programs you want. Even if it’s hard, I’ll just approximate it the best I can.
I’m in, and I like your suggestion.
I actualky got kind of mad at her when she said breaths stretch oops I said breaths I know it sounds like breasts. I get that its a video trying to get dudes to try yoga and she dressed for it, but that was a bit cheesy.
@bostonfred no need to be sad. i'm good. just had to be smart. work has been crushingly hard, physically. friday was 79 flights of stairs and 6 miles. takes it's toll. i knew the longer flow sessions, would be demanding. and rather than half ### them, i paused. i'm used to 2 a days, so will be caught up by tomorrow at the latest.
I feel like I'm stating the obvious here but
they are sooooooooooooooooo not happening.
First time to down dog every day, they’re not entirely down until I “pedal it out,” then they’re down the rest of the way. Might be a lady thing that it’s easier for me; we’re more bendy. I also love cow legs! I’ve wondered why it’s called that, though.F it. did all 3 i am caught up
yesterday's was hard! that 1 legged bit was difficult!! and cow legs
question for you yogis out there. are your heels on the ground, in down dog? mine are no where near the ground
eta: threw in 100 push ups for good measure. gotta pay the piper.
Same. Heels aren’t even close. Though I think they’re a touch closer now on Day 30 than they were on Day 1.F it. did all 3 i am caught up

My heels touch easily now, but they didn't at the start. Pedaling your feet helps. It also helps to change your angle by moving your feet forward or back. If you do a plank and just jam your butt in the air, you're not going to get the same benefit as if you take a step forward. If you watch her, she always takes a step forward from her vinyasa/chataranga/plank poses to down dog.
in my no booze for lent days. no noticeable weight loss would occur until after 4-5 weeks. then 10-15, sometimes 20, pounds would fall off rapidly. be patient. you're undoing years of bad habits.
Awesome job sticking to the 30 days of yoga. I love that you committed to a full month sight unseen, took a trip with family and had a barbecue and all of the little things that could derail it, and you stuck with it. Seriously proud of you.
How are you going to do these? Do you have a pull up bar or are you doing the Maurilley pulley method or ?
I have a pull-up bar. That's what I drape a rope over to do my squat-pull-ups hybrid.
Every time I am at a park with a reasonable bar available I attempt a 100 second dead hang. Haven't got there yet, but have been close.
This is what I keep telling myself. Rome wasn’t built in a day. And I didn’t get to where I am overnight. This is many years of neglect I’ve got to undo. It will take time.
Love it, GB. All of it. Thanks for the motivation in here. I was in a bad place and needed it. This is all helping. Let’s stay off the booze and keep at it.
I have not gotten started on the yoga front, but have kept up the daily walk along with the 100 pushup program. Thinking I am best starting at the Yoga for Beginners track and catch up with you all, but welcome alternate thoughts (have done yoga a handful of times in my life).
