Recovery Flow: Mermaid, Half Moon & Bird
Today’s recovery session was a 30-minute Body Balance 97 flow at home.
I focused on mobility, core strength, and balance — three things I’ve been working on since the start of this journey.
Key poses of the day:
-
Standing Mermaid (great for side-body mobility)
-
Half Moon (balance + core activation)
-
Bird Pose (postural control + focus)
This was a gentle, low-impact session, perfect for active recovery.
And yes — my bird flew.

One of the best parts of today’s session? No pain, no tension, no discomfort in my knee. Even during balance poses like Half Moon and Bird, I felt stable and confident.
It’s a clear sign that recovery is working — and that consistency really does pay off.

Breakfast: Protein, Fats & Focus
This morning’s breakfast was simple, low carb, and full of flavor — just what I needed after my Body Balance session.
-
Cheese omelet – packed with protein and healthy fats
-
Fresh tomato slices – light, juicy, and refreshing
-
Strawberries – a small portion for natural sweetness
-
Espresso – my lifesaver coffee, always
This combo keeps my energy steady all morning — no crashes, no cravings.
It’s balanced, satisfying, and supports both focus and recovery.

Lunch and Dinner: Low Carb & Satisfying
-
Beef stew with cream – slow-cooked, tender, and rich in flavor (and fats)
-
Sautéed green beans – fiber-rich, low carb, and the perfect side
-
Water + strong coffee – hydration + focus
This was a high-fat, low-carb meal that kept me full and energized without any blood sugar spike.
Quick to reheat, easy to digest, and totally satisfying — perfect for a recovery day.

Final Thoughts
Today’s session reminded me how far I’ve come.
I moved with control, stretched with intention, and I didn’t feel a single trace of pain in my knee.
That’s not just progress. That’s proof that consistency works.
I moved with confidence I felt strong in every pose And I finished the session proud of what my body can do
Recovery isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about listening, adapting, and showing up — one day at a time.
