Blessed are those who trust in the Lord and have made the Lord their hope and confidence. They are like trees planted along a riverbank, with roots that reach deep into the water. Such trees are not bothered by the heat or bothered by long months of drought. Their leaves stay green, and they never stop producing fruit. Jeremiah 17:7-8

P90X, Week 4, Day 1

I can't believe I made it to Week 4. What a day.Between stressing about a new case I was assigned at work and the death of my daughter's baby turtle, it was a bit of a rough day. I exercised every chance I got, even making my clients go on walks with me. I walked, rode my bike, did 90 minutes of yoga, lifted weights, and burned calories on the eliptical today. Altogether I burned 1140 calories... and a great deal of stress. I'm feeling better now, because I finished off the night with my yoga, and I feel nice and relaxed and calm. 
As far as Yoga X goes, my balance was OFF tonight. I am not sure why. I normally do pretty well with balance, but it could just be because I did all the other exercising and my muscles were tired.  I struggled with the 'Half Moon' pose, too. I was able to do 'Shoulder Stand into Plough, but skipped right over 'Crane' and 'Wheel'. Maybe some day... I still feel as though I did my best, but I could tell that my body was worn out. 

At least I'm not stressed anymore. When I get worked up and anxious, I get depressed, and I kind of shut down and become paralyzed and can't make a move. Not literally, of course, but I've noticed myself doing that lately with regard to getting my LPC and alllllll that is required in order to do so. I am not going to go into that tonight, because I'm in a good state of mind right now. I am going to say Namaste, and Good night :)
