THURSDAY - DECEMBER 4, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Power and Strength Yoga
Early on in the workout I noticed my floor fan wasn't working, so I tried to fix it. It took six or seven minutes. I didn't even hit pause while I was doing this, but I cringed every time I heard him say "Chaturanga / Upward Dog / Downward Dog", even though I wasn't doing the move. That's how ridiculous I'm feeling about his hour long yoga workouts anymore. Once I got back into it I skipped a few moves during the "ladder" portion, just because I was fed up. It's a poor way to look at things, but that's where I am with the redundancy. I try to justify all the vinyasas because I respect Tony, but it's just becoming too much. Not so much physically, but more mentally.

FRIDAY - DECEMBER 5, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Head To Toe
I felt good going into this one. I'm getting new flooring installed in my home next week and had a bunch of junk taken away. Removing all that clutter seemed to clear my mind a bit and lifted a bit of weight off my shoulders, more than I'd expected. Physically, the workout probably went a bit better than usual, but mentally it felt great.

SATURDAY - DECEMBER 6, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Kicking and Punching
I never thought this would be an issue, but I was missing my floor fan. I could feel the difference in not having it there Early on, I was wondering how I was going to get through the workout, but eventually that feeling wore off and I finished it out in good shape. I think I got a decent workout in.

SUNDAY - DECEMBER 7, 2025 - THE POWER OF 4 - Body Scan Meditation
For the most part, I stayed awake and concentrated on the body parts, but admit I dozed off briefly here and there/

THOUGHTS FOR THE WEEK
The main thing is that I felt much better after the junk was cleaned out of the house on Friday. I can't believe how much of a mental difference that made. They will be getting the new flooring in over the next two weeks and I feel that will make even a bigger difference. Almost like a fresh start.
