The state of things

Yes, I am resurrecting this blog.  Yes, I am beginning again.  This has been a tough couple of years, and I fell away and backslid down that path of overeating again.  Now, my feet are on solid ground, and I am ready to once again begin this process.

This time, the format will be much the same.  I will do things the same way.  I have edited most of the old posts for changes that need to be made this time around.  This will be my outlet.  My accountability place, so follow and keep me acountable.  If you weren't with me last time, please go back and read the previous 5 posts so you will be caught up.

One major change this time around is the type of workout I am choosing.  I am the king of losing massive weight by lifting weights and riding the recumbent bike, but this time I am not doing that for several reasons.  First, it's not practical.  That workout is not something I can do all of the time.  Life gets in the way.  Second, it's not a good financial move.  The equipment I would need to buy for this would be extreme on our budget, and driving 30 miles to a gym isn't any more financially prudent.  Finally, I am changing.  I am older, and I understand the limitations I have on my body so I have actively sought out a workout system I can do that will be good for me and safe for me as well.

I may add things to my workout as time goes on, but after much research, I have decided on a program I believe will keep me motivated, is practical, and a good decision for me.  How I found it was through a video.  The same video I want to share with you now.  Let me introduce you to Arthur:



Yes, Yoga.  I know yoga does not seem like a very extreme workout program, but I have seen way too many success stories from actual people who have used this system.  Of course, I am not talking about just any yoga, I am using DDPYoga.  DDP's version of yoga has dynamic resistance and other heart pumping features built into it.  Yes, this is a huge experiment for me, but what do I have to lose, but the weight.  I can do DDPYoga anywhere, at home or on the road, with very little equipment.  I am excited, and I would ask that you would pray with me as I embark on this journey.  As DDP himself would say I want to start this journey with a "BANG!"
