Significant improvement on Yoga X + ENERGY BOOST!!!

1-14-09
Weight today: 179. I haven’t lost any weight all week, which is encouraging because I’ve been running a significant calorie deficit all week. Changing fat into muscle, I like that. So, I talked yesterday about being so tired. This morning, I am all but tired. I actually had the sweats on the way into work this morning.
Today was round two of Yoga X, and today was the biggest change I’ve seen thus far. I’m a whole lot stronger, and although I fell out of a few exercises, I kicked its butt today. I was able to do the crane for almost 40 seconds (I couldn’t do it for one second last week) and I busted out a long wheel. The Yoga Belly 7 stuff is always dreaded and ridiculous, but I was able to do all of it today and didn’t fall out of any exercises. I’m feeling pretty good as we move to the end of week 2.
I kicked up the calories over the past couple of days and started to supplement with a Whey protein and skim milk “shake” one time a day. Perhaps that’s the reason for my increased energy. I’ve been having two grapefruits for snacks, but I forgot those today. My stomach is growling already (it’s 8:50am). My motor is running at full speed today.
I’m going to continue to run a calorie deficit going forward. I’m hoping I see some fat fall of my middle in the next few weeks. As for results, the first place I have seen it is in my chest. I’m broader and stand up a little more. My arms (especially my triceps) seem to be getting bigger. Back when I was in shape, my chest was always big (compared to the rest of me). I’m excited to think the chest is on its way back.
