Transition Week Day 1 - Yoga

More motivation during today's yoga exercises.  I'm still not really flexible but I noticed an increase in strength and I was able to keep up through more of the poses/moves/whatever you call yoga stuffs.

For kicks, at one point when I was resting during a pose I really screwed up and fell out of, I grabbed the pull up bar and DID AN UNASSISTED PULLUP!  Boom.  Right up and chin over in a (fairly) smooth motion.  I struggled for a second rep and clumsily got my chin near the bar, but that first one was hella motivational.  I also tried a reverse-grip chinup and managed to get two of those out pretty cleanly!  Yeah, all this when I should have been doing one of those crazy yoga poses...better than doing nothing, I guess, eh?

Previewed "Core Synergystics" for tomorrow - that looks fun...  I'll be getting up early in the morning to get through that hour of power, and will be skating in a roller hockey game in the evening, if the weather is good.

Getting pumped for the 30 day progress photos and numbers.  I've been taking near daily weight measurements, just to keep an eye on things, but not letting that drive things too much.

Bring it.
