Tried a new yoga studio today and can appreciate the differences. The origial studio I went to is larger and was geared towards complete beginners. Their classes very structured and provide step by step instructions. The new yoga studio is smaller and more intimate. Since the class was so much smaller, about 3 times, the instructor is able to give more personal attention and adjustments. The...

Day 2 of 2 of planned time off
Final weight was 225.8 lbs.Took the day off before...
Updated next cycle of projects. Really stacking it on. Will create a plan and schedule tonight cause I don’t think all of this can be done without both. Have a whitewater vacation planned, so this cycle will be short 5 days. 25 day hustle? lol. Or should I extend it? hmmm.
30 Days Hustled! Damn I Feel Good! 226.6 lbs. . ....
Day 29 One more day
228.8 this morning
Day 28 Two more days. Todays class was great. Felt a deeper stretch and more control. Not sweating as much since the class was “easier”. I think that there were a lot of new students so the yogi took it easy and the room was a little cooler.
Weighed 229 this morning
Day 27 Done. 3 more days to go
What I've learned
As the 30 days of yoga come to an end I’ve learned that attempting anything for 30 consective days requires greater organization than I expected. With everything in place, it allowed me to go on with the day to day activities.
Hustle is not an activity, but a habit. You have to make it a part of your life and attitude. Goals are important, but for a 30 days hustle adjustments may have to...
Nothing like getting laid off to jumpstart things
Our company has been cracking down and everyone’s work is under the microscope. Time for me to refouce on my projects and get cracking.
Day 26 Had lentill soup for lunch and
I can feel it kicking in towards the end of work. Workout today was yesterday. I think its either a mental thing or I’m just pysically tired and am constantly sore. I think I’ll take a few days off after this 30 days of yoga
Day 25 Another tough Monday workout. The studio was a sweltering 103 degrees and 54% humidity. 2 people actually left to cool off and then returned.
I never realized how bad my diet was. It surprises me that one only after one cheat day I can physically tell the difference. Energy is lower and skin breaks out
Day 24 Happy Father's Day
Spent the day with with the family then workout in the evening. iphone 16G are sold out everywhere.
Day 23 Workout done, off to relax. 234 this...
Day 22 - Weighed in at 231 which was expected. The weekend is here which means I’ll jump up in weight cause I have a couple of parties to go to this weekend… drinking and good eats. For those of you that are dieting this weekend, I’ll keep you in mind as I chow down.
Was gonna get the new iphone today but the local AT7T store ran out of the 16G models. My switch to the dark...
Day 21 - After my workout today I weighed in at 229.9, BAM. Check. Done!
Took the day off, had lunch with some friends, watched Up, and chilled. Treated myself to whatever the belly wanted during lunch. I know at the end of the day I’ll be heavier, so I’m curious to see what I’ll weigh tomorrow.
231.7 - Almost to goal weight and 9 days left
Day 20 Excellent workout today
As usual, sweating buckets, but I really feel good going thru all the motions. Now it’s just about pushing yourself instead of learning and just trying to keep up. The past weekend I really went to town. Shot up to 239 on Sunday night and this morning weighed at 232.8 this morning.
Taking tomorrow off for a “Life Balance Day”

Day 17 Took a friend for her first yoga class
I think she likes it. The class was an Intro class and was pretty easy. Went to the class right after lucnh. I htough I’ld be sluggish taking the class on a full stomach, but it wasn’t bad at all.
Day 16 Done. Parties all day.
Can you say cheat day. I’m a pro
Re-dedicate.
Due to the the tough economic times, our company is now tightening their belts and the employees who are borderline performers are now on watch. This included one who I am close with and they have placed him on a 90 probation.
Our company has been doing extremely well over the past 7 years. This past year year was actually the second best out of the past 7.
So you’re thinking WTF? Well,...
day 15 Going night fishing tonite. Morning workout...
Had to rush into work still sweating even though I took a shower. Back to back workout (evening then morning) leave little time for recovery.
Day 14 Down to 232.7 lbs
Not much as far as weight loss, but the shirts do fit better, legs are bigger, and have more flexibility and strength. Other changes I’ve noticed is more focus, more relaxed, better sleep, and drink way less coffee.
Got some of my friends to go. We’ll see how they like it.
Day 13 Today's instructor had a fast pace
Went from one position right into another, boom boom boom. Had to stay focused to keep up. They’re right… if your breathing is wrong, it’ll fuck you up. I think that’s what happened the other day.

How hard did you work today?
Day 12 Focus = results
Day 11 Yoga workout was tough today
Don’t know why, but I was struggling thru most of the class. I’m thinking it could be several things:
Bad diet over the weekend
The extra weightlifting workout
Breathing wrong
Whatever it is, I hope it works itself out. Moved some of the entries to a private blog/journal. No progress on project #2

Day 10 Ate like crap, workout was like crap
It was a lazy Sunday yesterday and I didn’t want to do a damn thing. Eight the additional workout had more of a effect or it was something else
Day 9 Weighed in at 232 lbs, boo-yow!!
Did yoga in the AM, weight training in the afternoon. Diet was on point, until poker at night. Its 2:14 am now, time to hit the sack

Day 8 I'm finally getting it.
At first it was about going thru the movements. Put your arm here, breath now, inhale, exhale, lift, fold, bend.
Now its coming together. It’s still lift, bend, stretch, breath. But it feels right. Can’t explain it, but I understand it just a little bit more. I started yoga becuase it was an alternative to my usual cardio out. Due to a foot injury I couldn’t run or walk very...
Day 7 Feels like I've been doing yoga forever
but to think it’s only been 7 days straight. The staff all know me now. No change in weight or progress in Project #2. Looking to crush it this weekend.
Working out consistently and meal prep, I noticed how little time I have during the week. Surfing the internet or watching a little TV kills so much time and I sit there wondering where the day went.
Our company had “the...

Day 6 - The short ones are killer
Seems like the shorter the yoga instructor, the harder their classes are. Yesterday was killer.
Weight: 234 lbs
Project #2: nada dammit
June 2: Day 5 - Vegetarian
Last 2 days I’ve eaten no red meat. Lots of juiced veggies. Yoga has gotten easier, but classes are super crowded
June 1
More yoga torture, but feeling great afterwards. Eating very clean… practically vegetarian.
Weight: 238 lbs
Project #2 - no progress
