We all fall down. But do I do it more than others?

So I have not been eating well.
Today I decided enough was enough and stepped on the scale.
I AM UP NINE POUNDS in 12 days.
I have been here before, but how do I get here?  Well lets start with one simple truth:  I AM A FOOD ADDICT!!!!!
I know what junk food does to me.  It makes me feel like absolute shit (sorry for the harsh language).  Yet, for some reason I get drawn back to it.  This time it was my arch nemesis, the dreaded Bacon Cheeseburger.  And onto that the fact that Halloween candy is now on the shelves, and you have a dangerous combination for this food addict.
I thought I had been doing well so I allowed myself a cheat meal, which turned into a cheat day, which turned into a cheat week.  Here I am 12 days after my Day 150 weigh in with nine MORE pounds.
So how do I fix it?
I know the answer.  Eat right and exercise.  no more "cheat" meals, days, weeks, or months.  But there is a more important question, and I leave it to you guys to answer:
How do I hold myself to it? This seems to be the trick to getting and staying fit.  I seem to have lost my compass for this journey.  I need to get back on track.

Today, after I weighed, I ate a healthy breakfast.  I then did a 54 minute DDPYoga workout. I also plan to go to the track for a run later today.  After that I will record a video about this bump on my road to fitness.

Sorry for the neglect

I am sorry I let this page go so long without updates.  I will change that.  Not sure if daily, but I will be updating MUCH MORE OFTEN!!!!!!
Good things are going on. I will take some time to get it all written out.

Day 98

Today was "Mix Tape" tomorrow is the top of the ladder, Double Black Diamond.  Very nervous, but excited at the same time. I know I will have to modify, I just hope I don't have to modify from beginning to end.  

Today's fat burning time:

Day 97

Today I did Strength Builder on my way to the top of the DDPYoga ladder (extreme NOT included).  The hip stretches feel great but are leaving me sore since they are all new to me. Tomorrow is Mix Tape, then the dreaded Double Black Diamond Monday.  Then a rest day. Then DBD again and back down the ladder.  I MIGHT have bit off a little more than I can chew with this personal challenge but isn't that the point of challenging yourself? To see how far you can push it? I keep amazing myself with what I can do compared to what I thought I would never be able to do!

 

Day 95

Woke up this morning and got on the scale.  THREE more pounds down since day 90. Today was Diamond Cutter on my way up the DDPYoga ladder. Got 39 minutes of fat burning from that!!!! Tomorrow will be my first ever Stand Up. Looking forward to my arms and chest taking a break!!!!

I Am still loving DDPYoga and absolutely loving life!!!!!

Day 93

Today I did Fat Burner.  I have decided that for the next week or so I will "ladder" all of the DDPYoga workouts, up to and INCLUDING Double Black Diamond!!!!

I fear it, SO I MUST DO IT!!!!

So starting on Day 92 I did Energy

Day 93 was Fat Burner

Tomorrow will be Below the Belt

Thursday will be Diamond Cutter!!!!!

Ever since Day 90 I have been struggling with motivation.  I mean I dropped 53 pounds in 90 days, time to take a break, right?  WRONG!!! When you start to think like that it is time to kick it up a notch, therefore "LADDER"!!!!!

If weight loss was easy, there would not be big people.  I am tired of being big, so I have to work hard, eat right, and stay on track.

How do I stay on track?

Well, when I am lacking motivation I will visit a couple of websites.
The most important one is TeamDDPYoga.com.  Frankly it is the best support group on the planet, BAR NONE, not even a face to face one.

Another is Youtube.  When I go to Youtube for motivation I look to a few people.  DDP, of course.  DDPYogaVsRob.  Ian Rogers.  Look these guys up.  We are all different levels of fittness but we are all in the same time line, so we seem to hit walls nearly at the same time.  

So, I have rambled a bunch, which I tend to do, so I will sum this up:

TO LOSE WEIGHT YOU MUST HAVE A SUPPORT GROUP.  It can be your family, friends, or people you have never met face to face, BUT YOU MUST HAVE SOMEONE TO TALK TO!!!!!

90 Days of DDPYoga in the books!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
