Day11: Yoga X

Ahhhhhh! Just finished day 11 Yoga X.

This is what p90x Crane looks like. Would that be nice if some day I can do the Crane? I didn't even come close to it. There definitely no peace of mind with this move when I tried it this morning ... and I don't know why I sweat so much while doing Yoga, it suppose to be graceful and quiet. Tony Horton mentioned "Yin" and "Yang", like fire and ice. You stretch and balance - quiet your mind, that's "Yin". You twist and reach and hold - use your muscle, that's "Yang". According to Chinese medicine, "Yang" in spring and summer, "Yin" in autumn and winter. Fall is the transition of your body from "Yang" to "Yin". You need to start to quiet down, and get your body ready for the cold winter to come. So I guess all these stretching, meditation should be good. And if anything, walking outside in the cold fall morning should help your lung function and prepare them for the winter, and what that has anything to do with P90x? I am not sure. All health and fitness come together, for a better life.

Nutrition for the day:
Made more Almond milk this morning, and with that fresh home made almond milk, I had my protein shake for the day :-) (I am wondering how they make low fat or fat free meat, milk or anything? David said they make cows or chicken or pig run on the treadmill. For a minutes, I actually believed him ... but really, how do they make fat free meat, or milk?)
Snack: home made Jun's famous protein bar
Lunch: chef salads with 6oz of meat/tofu
Snack: hammus with celery
Dinner: I really really want a big fat juicy steak, but, I think I will have some steamed pork ribs with veggi and brown rice. (Wonder if that pig ran on the treadmill or not before it got into my refrig).

Highland Ranch tonight. Go Titans!!
