DDPYOGA Workout Update!!!

I did my weigh-in for August last week on the first and I went to 297 pounds!!!

That is 10 pounds in 1 month!!! I am so happy and thrilled to have lost the weight. 

At first, I was beating myself up and saying, I only lost 10 pounds. Because I was comparing myself to others out there, that have done and are doing, ddpyoga. They kicked ass with it, lost up to and more than 30 pounds.  And all I lost was 10 pounds. 

But then I realized that I was taking away my win!  Yes, I lost 10 pounds! When was the last time that happened?  10 pounds lost is 10 pounds lost! I should be thrilled about that and not compare myself to someone else!  I should feel happy for the person who lost 30 pounds in 30 days and be motivated by their story to push harder! And now I am pushing harder.

Tonight I was dead tired. But I knew I had my workout to get done. So I washed my face and acted like it was later in the evening and said out loud to myself:

''I had such a great workout! The best one so far for the month! My heart rate was in the perfect zone and I did the full hour!  After the workout I felt so good, I posted a blog about my workout update!  I had a fulfilling meditation for an hour and felt so inspired by my thoughts, I had such clarity!''

And I did push myself in my workout, I did Diamond Cutter.  It was actually one of the better workouts because I was focused on making it a great workout!  My meditation opened my mind to see myself as limiting my thoughts as well.  The certification is up and running for the ddpyoga workouts and instead of just signing up, I emailed them and said that I am 300 pounds and even though I cannot do the workouts perfectly right now, if they think I would be able to do the routine properly and be certified by the time of the ddpyoga retreat next July.

What the hell!?!

How would they know? It all matters on how hard I push myself!  Only I know if I can do it!  So I am signing up!  Also by signing up, I know I have a deadline and a commitment to meet. So here is my declaration:

At the ddpyoga retreat in July 2014, I am a certified ddpyoga instructor!

See you then DDP! cause I'm coming!!!
