Yoga, Weight loss, and training schedule

I've been doing yoga for about a year consistently. I'm not the best at it and I can't hold Dancer Pose very long, oh a couple of seconds at best. But I enjoy it and it helps with joint pain and stabilisation. Having the knee injury I'm limited to the high levels of intensity of lifting. Which puts me behind schedule on muscle growth and where I want to be but such is life of contact sports. It's been close to a month since slamming my knee with all my weight plus the weight of another athlete on top of me and my knee is showing small improvements as the weeks fly by. Today I noticed during the Garland Pose my left knee no longer gave out in low squats! Triumph!

Yoga and strength training go hand in hand for me. Yoga provides the isometric strength that enhances and stablises my muscles and joints. As well as others I presume. I don't think they do yoga in boot camp/basic training. Shame. That would be amusing to see a bunch of recruits attempting the Half Moon/Sea Star pose. ha!

Weightloss
This bit came from my Google alert. 10lbs in 10 days? Yeah that'll go right back on and then some. Even people with money can't educate themselves of healthy living.

Now I wouldn't mind losing 40lbs but...I don't have 40lbs of extra fat on me and if I did I'm sure that when I lose all 40lbs of fat I'll end up in the hospital. But this question and response That's Fit provides a good answer to the cardio/weight training for weight loss. I don't mind doing cardio, I can easily go an hour, but in the long term it's more beneficial for me, joining the Army or Marines, just to strength time 5x a week.
Starting next week....technically today...err..tomorrow...I'll be starting a schedule heavy of strength training and limiting cardio to warm ups and run time tests.
