Day 39 :: Feeling Fine

So, I'm having a "can't believe how great the PCP is" day!

Got an early start to get in my jumps before breakfast. Patrick's last email spilled my favorite fat burning secret of jumping/cardio prior to breakfast, though I've yet to try the a.m. workout before coffee. Hmm.

I FINALLY had time (OK I stole a little time from work) to hit the yoga mat, and the fruits of these 6 weeks of PCP continue to amaze me. While my arms and shoulders are slightly sore and tired, they have so much more power. Headstand is more steady now that the back and abs are in the game. Still can't get off the wall in forearm balance, but I'm so much less wobbly. I'm finally getting the whole "balance of ease and effort" as it applies to asana. Everything is deeper and my poses are much more engaged -- truly a fabulous practice today!

Now, I've got to get through some work tasks, then I can hit my strength training. No problem because my PCP-fueled energy levels will keep me powering through.

PS. New photo posted, and I'm getting a little excited about the possibility of a six-pack. Never had one before. Can you say fabdominals?
