Fitness Regime...maybe, it's not too late after all.

I had heard about DDP Yoga while watching wrestling, but thought it was just something that had helped the older guys get cleaned up or to move a little better. It wasn't until a couple weeks ago, when I was catching up on recorded episodes of Shark Tank and got to the DDP Yoga. I was bemused at first, but then seeing Arthur's transformation, I was thoroughly amazed at how that could be the same person. I was floored when nobody wanted to invest because the living proof in front of them and not just doctored images was enough for me to see that this was a winner of a program.

There's been very few times in my life when I haven't been overweight and it was mostly when I'd eat hardly anything at all. I'm about to turn 32 and was at my worst a few years ago. I did the Ketogenic diet and lost 40 lbs in half a year, but holidays or vacations, or I'm not even sure got me off track and I gained back 10lbs and never even got close to my goal weight. Again, depression took hold from job and personal issues and even though I knew I needed to exercise for weight loss and psychological help, I just couldn't get up off the couch at night to do it. I would start doing Kinect games or dvds and putz out after a week or two from whatever excuses.

But this, this seemed different. I read around online and different sites and there was not ONE negative thing anybody had to say, which was amazing in and of itself. But the more success stories I read and pictures I saw and even with seeing Arthur running for the first time...it's not even entirely about the weight loss. I do want that, but I've always envied that strength, as well. The things wrestlers and gymnasts and figures skaters can make their bodies do. It's so amazing and seemed so impossible. I'm old, don't have the right physique, even hitting the gym would never result in that kind of strength and flexibility that would be so amazing to possess.

But oddly, unlike with most other attempts, I have hope now. Hope that I can continue on with this and get my body to that level that I am in control of it and make it do these feats. That I can lose the weight and not be embarrassed to wear a swimsuit in public or have my picture taken. Hope that I can stick with this and make it routine and part of my life and maybe, just maybe, become one of the success stories and help others, too. I hope I'm not getting too ahead of myself with overreaching optimism, but DDP seems to have put so much caring into this and that it's not just a throwaway moneygrab, that I really want to push through and see just how far he can take me.
