Letting Go!!

I had an awesome DDPYoga session this morning.  I did Energy and RHC and both kicked my ass into the ground as usual (awesome feeling).  Each time I do a DDPYoga session, I feel I let go of a lot of the bad, negative energy that surrounds me due to family, job, neighbors or whatever else is going on at the time.  My self-esteem is growing more positive every day and I am becoming more confident in life as a whole.  I am becoming more aware of staying true to myself.  Meaning, I am not letting others influence my decisions on any level of my life.  I am believing in who I am more and more and what I can accomplish out of life - work, relationships, family, friends, etc.  I am "owning my life" so to speak and it feels great.  I know that I am going to keep evolving into a better and more positive person as I do DDPYoga and continue to let go of everything.  Keep it positive!!!

Yoga

After three days of nothing but yard work, I did the fat burner and RHC of DDPYoga this morning.  It felt great to get my body stretched out from getting my yard and gardens cleaned up from weeds.  I didn't realize how sore I was until I did my sessions this morning.  I feel a whole lot better.  Awesome day today.

Lawn vs DDPYoga

On any given day, DDPYoga would definitely win over mowing the yard.  But, today my lawn needed a major cut.  I am way super worn out to do yoga now.  I have to say that my lawn looks way better now though.

Back to work!

I finally got in a DDPYoga session after almost 2 weeks down due to a major head and chest cold.  It felt good to get my body back in it again.  My body feels so much better after every session that I do.  RHC was a challenge as usual, but I am getting there slowly.

Awesome morning.

Derailed

I have realized today that timing is everything with yoga - or any kind of yoga for that matter.  I have been down with a major head and chest cold the last week in a half.  I have been able to hear or breathe due to all the congestion inside of me.  I feel derailed a little bit with my DDPYoga workouts because of my cold.  But, I got a little reminder from JJ today that shit happens and things always don't go as planned.  I am feeling much better today so tomorrow morning will definitely be a yoga morning.  I am taking a break from swimming until after the new year.  I can't afford to get sick again before Christmas due to Lindsay being pregnant and being due at Christmas.  So yoga and bike riding are it for now and possibly a walk/hike or two in between.  All is good.

Peace Out!!

Sunday Yoga

Today's Energy was a bit of a struggle for me.  Just a bit tired and a little off my game this morning.  In some ways RHC is getting a touch easier, in most other ways, it is still a huge challenge.  I know my flexibility will come with time, but I wish it the time was now.  I just need some patience to get thru the tough stuff on RHC.  But, I am slowly getting there and my back is feeling much better because of it.

Peace Out!

RHC

The Red Hot Core session today after the Fat Burner totally kicked my ass into the ground this morning, but my back is feeling way better and I am able to move around without hurting which is a great thing.  I am very happy I have decided to take the DDPYoga Challenge because 1. I was running out of options on how to heal back my naturally without surgery,  2. I am getting the positive support that is needed with a weight loss program and getting in shape,  3. I feel better overall with more energy and I am sleeping better at night, plus it is cooler outside which helps out a lot as well and 4. this is the first time I am actually making a commitment to my overall well being.

DDPYoga

I have done another round of DDPYoga this morning.  I did the fat burner and the RHC.  I have noticed that the fat burner is getting easier, although it is still a challenge, but very happy with the progress on that session.  RHC was a pain in the ass as usual.  On the positive side, my back gets really stretched out with the RHC and I really like that.  I know with time, consistency, and a lot of patience, I will conquer the RHC session with flying colors.  (I just need a little time to get there!)

Peace Out!

Support - Team DDPYoga

Since joining Team DDPYoga, I have had a ton of support from a lot of people.  I just want to thank you all for helping me out in this humble beginning of mine.  I know this journey will be a lifetime journey, but I am very excited about being a part of DDPYoga and its community. 

I have a swim session tomorrow morning then doing a Red Hot Core session when I get home.  Stay tuned for a follow up.

Goals

This afternoon I will be making some interval goals of where I want to be with my weight and with DDPYoga.  This will be a brutally honest session for me, but it does need to get done.  More with this subject later.

DDPYoga Session

I added the Red Hot Core to my Fat Burner session today.  Yeah, the Red Hot Core sucked for me royally.  I couldn't get 80% of it done due to the lack of flexibility and zero abdominal muscles.  This one is going to be a huge challenge/chore for me to accomplish.  I will be doing the Red Hot Core after every yoga session now.  I completely suck at this.  Not good.

Swim

I hit the pool this morning for a workout.  It was a struggle this morning for sure.  I swam for 40 minutes and I am totally beat now.  Totally worth it to wake up early and to get it knocked out all before 8 am.  Days when I struggle completely suck.  Hopefully Thursday will be a better day at the pool.  Tomorrow is DDPYoga and so is Friday.

Rested

Now that my body has rested from a week of DDPYoga and swimming and yard work, it is time to get back into the swing of things first thing in the morning.  My body needs to get stretched out and worked out for sure.

No dairy starts tomorrow and no sodas start Tuesday.  Sprouts will be seeing me at some point tomorrow.

Journals/Blog

Today is a day of writing in journals and my yoga blog.  Since starting DDPYoga, I am noticing more opportunities arising and opening up.  And I am also opening up and breaking down walls that I have built up for years.  It has been really nice to get broken down a bit to build myself up again in more positive ways.  My head and heart are a lot clearer now with getting negative feelings out thru yoga and writing in my journals.  I didn't realize I had this stuff inside me that needs to get out and be dealt with.  DDPYoga could not have come at a better time for me.  This is a commitment that was absolutely necessary for me to move on in my life.
