Day 4: Finally, Some Relief

Or at least that's what I thought.  The work out for today was Yoga X, which I was thinking would be some stretching and a few poses.  It should be good to loosen me up, but I wasn't expecting to work that much.  Boy, was I wrong.  When I popped it in and it said an hour and a half, I got a little nervous, and rightly so.  Most of the poses I fell out of, especially when I attempted the more difficult ones like warrior 3 and the dancer pose.  Not quite as complicated as what you see here, but I was feeling it.  It ended with some core work that I felt like I could actually do, and therefore get some burn in my abs.  It was good, and overall I did feel looser, but it was by no means a resting day.

The meals were a bit more complicated today, not in the recopies, but with the fact that my wife was getting back into town, and we were going out to dinner when she got in.  We went to Chuy's, which is only one of my absolute favorite Mexican places in Austin, but not entirely diet friendly.  I spotted a dinner salad on the menu and got that, which is a big improvement over my normal bean and cheese burrito, which I am saying aloha to.
