    Day 4/100 - worked on poses today - standing forward bend (felt great after that stretch), tree (got my balance in the end), warrior, seated spinal twist and seated forward bend. I must say the pose I love best at the moment is the final relaxation :) How's everyone else getting on?

    Day 3/100 - decided to do Jillian Michaels' 30 minute Yoga Meltdown DVD this morning. What was I thinking?! I just about managed the first 10 mins (and that was with me stopping in places). I couldn't go any further. Think I need to work up to this one. Struggled with the plank push-ups, side planks and camel pose. I like to think I am fairly flexible but this make me realise how much I have let myself go and how stiff I am. I know it will get easier the more yoga I do and when I get used to the poses. Tomorrow I will go back to working on individual poses rather than an actual yoga workout. My goal at 100 days is that I can do the whole 30 mins with ease. Am I being realistic?

    I think that's more like a strength/aerobic workout than a "yoga" one. I can't hold a side plank or do a plank push up, so that's probably a bit too intense. MODIFY, that's all I can say. Hold a plank by itself, do a "girly" push up, do another move all together. You've got goals to work up to. Don't feel bad for not being Jillian. She's got years and many hours of workouts behind her. She looked like a weak goof at first. I wish there was a video of that! Ha ha!

    I agree about the camel pose. I've only done it a few times, and it really doesn't do anything good for me. I have a straight neck too, so double ick. Adriene's yoga practice is "Do What Feels Good", or something like that. We're all a little less stiff than when we started, but have a long journey ahead. Good luck and have fun.

    @SheilaCali thanks for the wise words - you have made me feel better. I think I will try one of Adriene's sessions. I like the idea of "Do What Feels Good". I think Jillian enjoys inflicting pain :#

    Day 5/100 - worked on poses again and starting to feel more in touch with my body.

    Days: 38, 39 and 40 - just did some simple poses due to lack of time (boo!) but I will be back at it today. I have really noticed that I sleep and feel so much better if I have a good practice every day. I am not as achy and definitely sleep deeper (because I am not in pain) :)

    Carlsoda, I'm so glad yoga's been helping you sleep better. My right hip has gotten a little better, so I can sleep on it a bit. The getting comfy part is still tough. MissMiami, so glad you've made it through- still a long road ahead.

    My back quit on me a couple of nights ago, and now it's TOM. I celebrated 2 days of not working out by eating some plum and nectarine crisp. It had nuts and oats, so it was better for me than some things. It rocked, and I don't feel guilty. Did some poses though, as I'm really tight- more than usual. It's been great to use yoga as a cooldown after a workout. I think I'll keep doing that long after the "100 days" as it just makes sense.

    Day 41/100 - 20 minute free flow with Adriene!

    Sheila, I'll also keep up with this long after the 100 days. It needs to become something I do for the rest of my life. Gosh it sure makes me feel better!

    Glad you made it Miami! Hope the fresh water and food situation is ok for you. That would be the part I would worry about this most!

    Happy Day 50 everyone! I think it's 50? I've been pretty faithful, except this past week on vacation, when I probably needed it most. All of the walking really tightens me up. Great idea with the hip opener routines- I'll plan one for tomorrow. Great to see you still logging in so much Carlsoda and MiamiSeoul. I did more poses after my workout, and man I sure needed it. These creative stretches help so much!
