I just finished today’s workout even though I didn’t want to. I didn’t want to because it is a busy day-- two cat-sitting visits plus some woodworking work for a client. But I did it and I’m really glad. Some of the woodworking stuff I did today was hard on my body (to the extent that I think I will have sore muscles). The yoga helped my body feel better!

Wow that was the first time ever in mg entire life we did even a second of standing splits and I thought “wait that feels interesting I want to stay here!” instead of “I hate this when is it over when when when ow I’m shaking ow.”

I have really enjoyed this. But my baby needs me to stop. I keep stopping for a day or two and then starting again, and then I have renewed pregnancy problems. My joiner and completionist urges have overriding my caution, so I’m pulling the plug. No more yoga with Adrienne until I am safely delivered and cleared to start up.
I’m sad this didn’t work out for me but I hope I can try again in the future. Noteworthy that I had no aches and pains this whole time!

Day 20 is done, and I hurt myself. Near the beginning there is a twist where you put your right hand on your low back, and then she offers the option to stretch further and move it to the top of your left thigh. I did that and felt pain across the front of my right shoulder. I finished out the practice but it feels generally sore across the front of my shoulder now and the soreness is a bit stronger if I do planks, push ups, or stretch it the wrong way. I don’t think it is seriously injured, but it is definitely angry with me for pushing it too far.

Oh, core work today! Adriene mislead me with her comfy clothes. Didn’t know I was going to sweat. Anyway, that’s over and with day 20 complete am now 2/3 done with this program.

I fell behind the last couple days as I had 2h of sports daily and didn’t really feel capable of adding another 30 mins a day. Just did day 18 and may try day 19 later today, depending on how I feel.
I started this challenge when gyms/sports facilities were closed during our last lockdown and now they’ve opened up again sooner than I expected I’m trying to figure out how to still fit in some regular yoga.

I skipped a day, and then resumed. My hip was much much happier about resuming

Day 21 done! Short but intense. Why did I think yesterday was core day? That was just the warm up for today, I suppose. I managed to do it all, so that felt good.

I was very busy today and very tired. I might be sick and I moved 2 couches today while re-organzing the living room and family room and time got away from me. My husband pointed out that I hadn’t done yoga yet so I decided to do it before dinner. I’m so glad I did! Day 21 is done and I’m very glad that it was short! Yay core work!

day 14. it seemed to go by really quickly, but now it is past my bedtime and I think I should probably ice. Decent plank, and I think that is the best hovering thing I’ve managed.

Yesterday I did something in a bouldering session that left me with pain in my upper back/neck. Not sure what happened but it was just suddenly there. Today it’s still painful/stiff and although gentle movement so far feels better than full rest, I don’t wanna stress it by doing yoga. So I’ll be unable to do my planned Adriene-catch-up, booo :’(
I already had a friend give me a gentle massage yesterday and as I still have reasonable mobility (just chin to chest and head backwards are limited) I don’t think it’s anything too bad and I’ll just let it chill for another day and hope it disappears in 1-2 days. If not, I’ll call the physiotherapist.

Day 22 done! Some new things for this month in today’s practice, I think: warrior 3 (yay!), reverse tabletop (ooh, noticing changes in my body shape with this one. Why are my arms and torso getting in the way of each other?), and hopping between down dog and forward fold. Nice to change things up a bit.

Yay! Done with day 22. I definitely prefer to do yoga early in the morning but I can’t make it happen on the weekends because I eat breakfast with the family instead of in my office.

So, apparently I was just panicking/spiraling the other day. It’s worth noting that I’ve been in isolation a lot of the time because my kids caught covid and my husband was caring for them. They are fine and I don’t seem to have it and we are now in phase 2 (less isolation), but it’s been a long week with several more days to go and I think being by myself in the “isolation chamber” really encouraged the spiraling.
ANYWAY. I saw the OB on Friday and she was super definitely that NOTHING I am doing is causing this problem. She says I could even go back to doing Jazzercise if I want. So, here I am after all with day 15!
I miiiiiight try to do 16 and 17 tomorrow (I work Tuesdays through Saturdays so Monday is Me Day) because day 17 is called “snuggle” so I am guessing it is not super-duper taxing, but we’ll see. Lots of other things on my plate and I need lots of rest.

Day 17 suggests having a pillow and blanket handy, if that helps.

You can definitely do 16 and 17 together so long as you have the time. 16 is fairly light and 17 is mostly sitting and laying down.

So… We’re going to pretend Hell Week didn’t happen and I’m supposed to be on Day 18, mmkay? 
Proud of getting back to it and also of not pushing through yesterday, but resting like my body needed. Today felt good despite several days break.
Here’s hoping I keep up (maaaybe catch up) this week!

Day 15. I didn’t attempt the one hand downward dog pose. Perhaps next time she brings it in, I will feel more confident trying it. I still am challenged moving from downward dog into the lunge poses, I need more steps/time between for now.
