Day 13

Today is Christmas. While kids were getting up and running to the tree and grabbing their stockings all filled with goodies, I turned on the TV and plugged in X3 Yoga and went to work. There were no presents under the tree here or stockings to be emptied. There was only me and the TV with Tony telling me to get in downward dog. Yoga, how I hate it and I love it at the same time.

X3 Yoga is shorter obviously so there is less yoga, less balance poses and less stretching. I felt it and did sweat like always, so I know that the intensity is there. I find it to be a nice change from the 90 minute yoga from X. I do think some will find it too short or incomplete if they expect it to be the same as the Yoga X. It is nice to get your sweat on, stretch and twist and balance in 30 minutes.

With today being Christmas and X3 Yoga is done, I guess the only thing to do now is get the food right for today. After last night, I need to do better today. Last night we went to a church service and then after the decision was made to grab something to eat. I had a baconator. So I ended up with around 2500 cal where I had been hovering around 1900. That isn't a huge deal as that was my only real downfall for the day. I am not really on a low carb diet, so taking in the bread while not the best choice doesn't kill what I am trying to accomplish.

Turkey in the slow cooker and ham in the oven. The pumpkin pie was baked yesterday. All that is left are the potatoes which are boiling now and then the green veggies, which will take only minutes to steam. Lunch will be the big meal and leftovers for a day or so. Eat what you want and don't feel remorse. Remember that tomorrow is a new day and you can always start fresh. Enjoy your holiday and remember that anything in moderation is ok to have.
