The bad news....only one workout last week because I didn't have a car from Wednesday to Friday. The car was in the shop getting fixed so it would pass the air quality test the state requires to get the license plate renewed. Unfortunately, it still didn't pass so back to the shop this week. I'm hoping it will get fixed in one day and not impact my getting to the gym.
The good news...I'm revisitng yoga class. Before I got back into strength training a few years ago, I was doing yoga once a week at the gym. Obviously being 60 lbs heavier than I am now, it was a struggle and not terribly useful to get fit. But as an addition to my fitness routine now it's great. I definitely need more work with stretching and joint mobility (and stress relief is a plus). So I went to a beginner's level class on Saturday. It felt great...until the next day when I woke up with a sore lower back. Certainly not as bad as when I injured it deadlifting but sore nonetheless. I just dealt with it by sitting when it got too painful. It didn't prevent me from taking Cappy to the dog park for our Sunday walk. And I spent a bit more time this morning with the foam rolling and mobility. It's feeling pretty good right now so I think it was just doing moves I wasn't used to doing.
I'm chugging along with preparations for next week's switch to fat burning. This week I'll be cooking up some crockpot meals that are lowfat lunch staples and finishing up the higher carb foods in the fridge. I've also been mulling an additional challenge for my ten-month effort that I'll talk about in my next post. It will be awesome, I promise!
