Dagoblogh: Jedi Training

WOW. I was driving home and I thought to myself, I’m gonna run a 5k today, and then keep doing it to improve my time. Well I tried it and it was WAY TOO HOT. I lost my will to run in about 7 minutes and called it quits. I must’ve been delusional, 

I’ll get there eventually. 

I was previously all fired up about my new workout routine, and not to say that I am not still fully committed to DDPYoga, because I am, and I am still really excited about it. I had a rough week this week with the death of Renae’s grandma, and lots of homework to catch up on, I found myself not really exercising at all this week. I am going to bring it home strong this weekend by busting my ass on friday, saturday, and sunday. 

I lost a little bit of my BANG this week, I need to work to bring it back.

It happier news. I weighed in at 201.5 today which is the lightest I have been in over a year. Feeling good, and looking forward to finally breaking the 200 lb barrier. 

Well I started DDP and did it for like 2 days and then kinda had a little mental set back, let everything else get the best of me. Then on February 6th (last monday) I had an Ah-Ha! moment and I decide that I am done being fat, I am done being unhealthy, that I needed to finally take control and own my life. So since monday I have been doing DDP Yoga, working out, and eating better than I have in a long time. 

I decided that I needed to really commit to this so I am doing the Advanced work-out plan for DDP Yoga. I have done well so far, working out every day (Even the days it says I don’t have to workout) . 

Since I started I have lost 4 lbs, and since my heaviest around Christmas I have lost 7 lbs.

Starting belly inches: 44in

Starting Neck inches: 18in

Starting Weight: 211 lbs

Current Weight 204.2

Well I just did my first session of DDP Yoga. Something new I am going to try. I can do it at home, it’s low impact, and doesn’t take up a lot of space. I am going to follow the intermediate work out plan and see where it takes me. 

This is a fitness program developed by 3 time WCW World Heavyweight Champion Diamond Dallas Page.

I’ll keep you updated on my progress…

So believe it or not, I actually did something athletic a couple days ago. I ran/walked the Big House Big Heart 5k race in Ann Arbor on Sunday. I probably ran half and walked half. My left foot was asleep for most of the race, and my back hurt a lot. I am glad it was such a rough experience, I hope that since it was so rough it might actually spur me into doing something about my weight. My time was 51 minutes, and I was the last of my four friends to finish, but it still felt good to accomplish something. The feeling of running down U of M’s tunnel and onto the field was pretty cool. 

We’ll see where it goes from here. 

WTF!? I am sick of this. I am hitting it hard tomorrow morning. No excuses, just doing it. I am getting rid of this lard ass body.

It was not a good starting week for my Jedi Training. I didn’t hit the gym at all, and the River Raisin Festival sure didn’t help. I did lose some weight this week. I am down to 203.6 from 206.1 from my last weigh in. I plan to try to kick this training into high gear.

This blog has been created to chronicle my journey towards weight loss and healthy living. I am really into tumblr and I figured this would be a way to keep my self on track. 

Today at the start of this I weighed in at 206.1 lbs, My goal is to get to somewhere in the 150-160 range. I have been here before and I know I can do it again.
