Okay...I digressed there a little but I wanted to share about "FBD" because we have so many acronyms that we use that are really meaningless but FBD actually makes sense.
I accomplished day 3. My poor yoga mat and yogitoes took a beating during last nights storm and were laying in the grass soaked when I woke up today. Luckily the sun was out all day and dried them up by the time I went to yoga. Today yoga really helped a lot with the stress and anxiety I have been feeling recently regarding career related things. Tomorrow I have an interview and I feel focused and ready to go. Physically yoga was challenging today because my shoulders and biceps were sore because we do a lot of high planks and downward facing dogs (see pics below).

High Plank
It is so good for strengthing your arms and your back but my body isn't used to it yet.
Most teachers at Corepower have you set an intention for your practice. My idea of an intention is that you are sending out your energy for the good of someone or something, and it is usually not yourself. I equate it to a prayer. Today I set my intention for my mom. She deserves some positiveness going her way. She works extremely hard and gives herself to others constantly. I want her to have all that she deserves.
I am finding that hot yoga makes me crave things that are healthy. All I wanted was pineapple and water after class. And for dinner I cooked up grilled chicken and vegetables.
Enough about yoga for today. I need rest so I can be focused at my interview tomorrow.
FBD sounds like a very smart idea and great if you can notice these things on a daily basis! Good for you on your yoga journey; very impressive.
