Days 25, 26, & 27

This is week 4, so it's a recovery week in the lean program.  That means Day 25 (Wednesday) was Stretch X.  However, since the "rest" day is either no workout or "stretch," I interpreted that to mean that I could also "rest" on Wednesday.  Maybe that was cheating, but this week my back and legs seem to be extra sore.  It's good there is a recovery phase built into the program.
Day 26 was not resting, Cardio X made we sweat a lot.  I skipped the yoga-inspired warm-up with all the downward dog vinyasas (yes, spelled correctly).  I'm not much a fan of those, but probably only because I'm not quite good at them yet. 
Today is/was Yoga X (Day 27), the last day of week 4.  I "rest" tomorrow.  That is good because I'll be driving a lot of the day and have plans to be out of town for a baby shower.  Anyway, I completed Yoga X today.  I again didn't do the downward dog/vinyasa section much.  But, I worked hard on the other parts, especially the Yoga Belly 7 part.
This morning the scale said I was down to 180.  Remember my start weight is 187.  That means 7 pounds in 4 weeks.  It's not too bad considering I had some days where I overate or didn't workout.  I think Mike told me he has lost 12 pounds so far.  Yesterday at the store, I broke down and bought some diet pills to help speed up my weight loss.  The cheapest was Slim Quick.  We'll see how much I begin losing now....
