DDP Progress

Okay, so depression hit me pretty bad on Saturday night. Several people posted about meeting special someones and I sunk into my "That's never going to be me because I'm a broken person that will never find someone to love me that I will also love back" mode. I...hit that mode a lot these days.

Anyways, I still did my DDP Energy! workout on Saturday night despite my moroseness. On Sunday, I actually got up early despite not going into work until 1pm. The hot air balloon rally was this weekend and driving into work on Saturday the balloons were practically right on top of our neighborhood. There was a chase crew at the end of my block, another further down the street and one was deflating in the parking lot of Game and Fish, which is NOT a big parking lot.

So...Sunday, I get my camera, have plans to make a cup of coffee and sit outside with my new lawn furniture and enjoy the show. I got up even earlier than I normally would for work and what happens? Only a handful even ascend and the ones that do go the complete opposite direction from me. So...that was a bust. But, since I was too awake to resume sleep, I decided to try the DDP Yoga Wake up! routine. It was only 10 minutes, but just enough of a push to get the heart rate going, but not end up all sweaty and gross. I didn't realize how stiff you get in the mornings either until the moves I'd had no problem doing the night were giving me problems in the morning. And then coffee was enjoyed. I discovered I really enjoy Chock Full o' Nuts Soho Morning.

Monday I did sleep in, but even though I worked late, I still did Energy! before bed. And then something amazing happened this morning. I got up early to do Wake up! Usually my morning routine consists of sleeping until 7:30am, possibly getting up to get the Keurig going for my travel mug, getting dressed to Frasier, gathering crap together and leaving for work at 7:50am. Now, I did hit the snooze from 6:30-7:00, but I still had enough time to do the routine and down a cup of coffee. 'Twas also motivated by having to lead the staff meeting AND open up in the morning and knowing I was probably not going to have time to drink one at work. And apparently the yoga was so energizing that my boss asked my coworker "what is she on", though there was a lot of nervous energy rampant from having to wing a lot of stuff.

The program guide recommends three weeks of Energy! before moving up to Fat Burner. I'm still struggling with Down Dog and the push-ups, but I am curious to see what some of the other routines are like. Not going out tonight, so perhaps I will give Fat Burner an attempt!
