I need to set up journalling again
Steps: 7,567
First Thing Water ==maintenance mode==
P (Tunde) - 5m W
Ride
P (Bradley) - 30m Intervals & Arms Ride - 2lb weights
P (Hannah F) - 5m C
Ride
P (Olivia) - 5m Post-Ride Stretch
And that's all I did that day. We had Orion isolated so that we could attempt to collect a urine sample for the vet. This caused Apollo to loose his little mind and cry for hours. We would manage to briefly distract him, but he was beside himself that Orion was stuck in a room without him. In the end, we decided to call the vet and see if we could just bring him back in for them to get it.

Too stressed to do anything else.
On this day, I took the day off so that I could figure out cat stuff. I also had the podiatrist in the afternoon. Everything went relatively well, and I don't have a bone spur, just some plantar fasciitis to deal with. So now I have exercises that I neglected to start on this day.

Some tips for this transition:
1. From down dog, push back with your arms to get a deep knee bend. Then you can use the power of your legs to spring forward into the lunge position.
2. If you foot doesn't make it all the way forward into the lunge, reach your hand back, grip behind your ankle, and pick your foot up to bring it forward the rest of the way.
3. Remember that strong core you have been building through all of your plank work. Sometimes what is needed is a little more lift from our core to get our body out of the way to make some room for the foot to come forward.
4. Some people find it helpful to lift their leg up and back into 3-legged dog before bringing it forward into the lunge. This can help to remind us to create length through our whole body, and to lift through our core, so we engage our whole body and create the space we need to move our knee forward underneath us.
There is a lot going on in the down dog to lunge transition. And yet so often we move through it quickly in the vinyasa flow, and there isn't time enough to cue even half of what we need to be thinking about to complete the transition successfully.
Adriene Mishler has a great video that really breaks down the transition and also offers some drills to help build/engage the strength necessary for success in this move.
A lot of yoga is strength training! (Try out the videos Adriene offers in the video I posted above, for some examples.)
I love your dragons!I believe the intention here is a sort of modified Camel Pose. The same hand position won't work for everybody, and trying to force it can feel really crunchy on one's back.
Backbends I think can be problematic because really bendy yogis tend to make them look like the point is to achieve maximum bend in one's back. The fact that we call them "backbends" doesn't help matters either! Yoga instruction often shies away from using the correct technical terms for how we're moving our bodies. (Yet it's common to expect students to understand terms in Sanskrit--a language that is literally nobody's first language in the 21st century!) But I think it's helpful, especially with "backbends", to use the correct, modern anatomical term for what we're trying to accomplish with this family of poses: spinal extension.
In anatomical terms, "spinal extension" simply means backward movement of the spine. But the more common meaning of "extension" as "lengthening" helps us here, because it reminds us that all backbends/spinal extensions need to start with lengthening the spine. The purpose to practising spinal extension is to lengthen one's front body and strengthen one's back body. Crunching the lumbar spine to achieve a specific look--which is, unfortunately, what happens far too often--is not healthy and should not be the goal of these poses.
If the Day 5 pose doesn't work for you as depicted, I would suggest subbing with Camel or a Supported Camel. Place your hands wherever/however works for you to give yourself the support you need to achieve maximal front body opening and back body strengthening.
PF is no fun. The exercises do help though, both to heal the current injury, and to strengthen our feet to help prevent a recurrence. If you have one of those therapy balls that can be frozen, rolling that under your foot can help too. (A frozen bottle of water works in a pinch too.)

@Laura Rainbow Dragon You are a wonder. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me. I am looking forward to yoga tomorrow so that I can focus on working your downward dog tips.
I'm going to use right now.
I am looking forward to yoga tomorrow so that I can focus on working your downward dog tips.I think a lot of it is that I fall back into the untruth that strength training = weight training and that is it. Yoga does require a lot of strength. I really like the idea of yoga as strength training.
I think I ultimately did do Supported Camel. It was a lot more manageable.
I've just ordered of those therapy balls for freezing, as my local shops didn't have any. I was offered a water bottle at the vet's office and I totally took it home and froze it.
I'm going to use right now.

Okay, it has officially been a second crazy week. Please, if everything could just stabilize a little so that I could catch my breath and feel less like a crazy person. Oh, and if the hormones could stop making me feel all the feelings extra hard today, that would be awesome. 'kay, thanks.

Tired again. I really did want to do Dracarys and some yoga today, but it just wasn't meant to be. Helped with the cleaning, but M was the one putting in all the hard work. I did get all the kitty quarantine blankets and our clothes sanitized and washed and still managed to do a couple extra normal loads. So, that was nice. I just need to get some sleep and I think I'll be alright. Already self-sabotaged a little and stayed up too late tonight. But it will be okay.

Okay, first class of week 2 of the program done. My chief complaint thus far is the music. But I just listened to different music over the top of it and it seemed to work out all right. That day of rest did my cycling good. I can see that I'll have another rest day in my program tomorrow, so I think I am going to skip the bike tomorrow and go for some yoga (for real this time).

Today was pretty good! Well, not so great in the productivity department. I got the laundry done and went through some cups that we don't need and put them in the donation pile.
In other news, I think I actually lost weight this month. Like, 4lbs. I am excited about it, but apprehensive that it's not real. That it'll just come back. Please, let it be real.
Keep on kicking Bees and have a good one!

Saturday, 31 August Wins: (33 days)
I need to set up journalling again
Steps: 10,022
First Things:
Morning Foot stretches
First Thing Pushups 3 (knee)
Icy Foot rolly thingy
CoS 4 ==maintenance mode==
First Thing Water ==maintenance mode==
Main Workout:
Quick Warmup
Foundation Light 4 lvl 3
Temple Run lvl 3 - Okay, I did this with the intent of going no higher than level 1. Then the stupid competitive ADHD nonsense kicked in and it turned into a need to see how far I could push it. I know why this happened, and honestly, my foot feels fine right now.
Second Spring lvl 3 - 2lbs
Halo - some mods were necessary. I did feel like I was switching between poses a little faster than usual. And I was engaging my core without really having to think about it.
Last Things:
Evening Foot stretches
Today was alright! I got a lot of cleaning done, so very productive. But I had a headache for most of it. 
Turns out, I just hadn't put enough fuel into my body to offset what I was expending. Dinner fixed it all and then I was able to workout this evening!!

Didn't sleep that great last night, so hopefully that means that I'm about go fall asleep a little early now. Very low energy day. Foot was a little angry this morning, but it feels fine right now. Okay, good night.

Exhausted. But I was very awake and alert this morning. I'm still not sleeping great, but I also started my sleep schedule shift to an half an hour earlier. Plus, this month I am focusing on good sleep hygiene and not snoozing and not sleeping in on the weekends. Naps are allowed if necessary. But yeah, it's for the better. Getting up a half hour earlier is also so that I can have more time in the morning before work to do my stretches and a little yoga as well as shower. This morning felt great.
Plan for tomorrow - day off, so I am still going to wake up at 4:30 (because good sleep hygiene). But since we are planning on clearing the quarantine from my craft room (aka deep cleaning with special cleaner) and it is predicted to take almost all day, I am going to go for my bike ride in the morning. Yup, I took a day off just so that we could clean a room. Sounds silly, but I have the time, I'm not doing anything vital at work, and I would like to be able to just relax this weekend. Tbh, probably going to pass out for a nap (with a timer) tomorrow afternoon. But that's okay.

Day started out pretty good. Had plenty of energy up until the early afternoon, because I didn't refuel properly. Feet hurt, but it is the more normal "you cleaned too much today" ache. Yeah, took the day off to clean my craft room and lift the panleuk quarantine from the room and therefore my house. Tomorrow, I get to put all my stuff back away in there.
Anyway, super tired now. Night!

Exhausted. But I feel weirdly accomplished with my 300 knee pushups today. (10 from FTP, 190 randomly, and 100 from 100 Pushups). Honestly, I'm glad that I did it, but the tile floor in the atrium where the 190 random ones were done with my division members was very unkind to my knees. I'll be bringing a cushion with me for the remainder of this challenge and they can make fun of me if they want. But they won't, I'm making bigger numbers than almost everyone in my division.
Though, I had to point out that it stated "traditional or modified" in the challenge rules. I've regressed a little and full pushup is once again too much. But I know that'll get better as I get stronger and can get losing weight figured out.
Yay, weight loss clinic doc tomorrow. My loss since I last saw her has been zero, but at least I've plateaued. So, hopefully it goes well. Though, really, I still don't understand why I can't. My eating is healthier than it has ever been. My workouts burn a ton (granted, they've mostly been biking for the last 2 months, not as much variety). And that B12 shot - yeah, I don't feel the burst of energy. I just feel tired. So, I guess we'll be having a chat tomorrow.
Okay, tired and bed is calling me soon.

Phew, this was a day of driving. But hey, I got to play DnD in person with my siblings and friends. And we had a good session that was very different from how our usual sessions. It was really neat. We had to maintain and assist with flying the flying ship to our next part of the campaign. (yeah, we definitely didn't do that great) My poor character almost died twice because I couldn't get out of a grapple. Yay, strength checks.

Still got a little gas in the tank, so I'll be trying to knock out some of these challenges I'm behind on. Also, very excited, I got my new Player's Handbook for D&D, so I'll get a chance to read the rules before my DM starts enforcing them in the next session or two. Good day at work, just slow and somewhat tedious.
Keep on kicking Bees and have a good one!

Like I said, weird day. We attempted to leave the kitten out overnight and he ended up getting put back in his room around midnight. As we were both running on 4 hours of sleep and were extremely irritable, we decided to just take the day off. I got a lot of things tidied up that I've been avoiding and I felt a lot more centered by now. I'm back to my optimistic self.

Nope. This is why I shouldn't take days off work. I came in and I suddenly my beautiful program was the most important thing ever and I've had to adjust to an accelerated schedule. Not saying that I don't like a challenge, but it has been a roller coaster. At least my customers are well behaved - I love these ones. Okay, small vent over. Despite hyperfocusing at work, it was surprising just how much doing a few pushups every hour is great for distracting me enough to prevent a headache. Now, I could definitely have done better at drinking my water throughout the day, but hey I got the goal number in the end.
