Lifestyle Changes

Well, another lifestyle change is happening. A new year of 2020. A time of change and transformation. And I'm taking full advantage of it for sure! With everything that happened in the last few weeks of 2019 and in the first few days of 2020, I have listened and I have taken action. I am re-reading my book - The Power of Now. I read another book similar to that one - Unfuck Yourself. And I have decided to OWN MY LIFE!! I have started a workout routine. But not just any workout. This one makes me excited. Fills me with positivity. And inspires me. I'm talking about the one and only...................




DDP! Said with a roughness in your voice, get it right! And for ya'll that don't know who this is - it is Diamond Dallas Page.

I found his inspiration a long time ago but overlooked it. I was amazed, don't get me wrong. But I had that doubt and worthlessness that sometimes creeps into ones life. So I moved on, but I never forgot what I saw. As time went on it came to me again. I guess it was trying to tell me something. I wasn't ready the first time and I still didn't feel ready the second time. Even tho I was looking for change. Thankfully this time it didn't take years. It only took months. I did recommend it to a loved one and thought why aren't I enough? So after a few months I started to watch again. Then decided I am enough! This was near the end of 2019 - remember, when things started happening. I looked online and the program was on sale. I took the leap and purchased it. Then I got access to a website for members. There I started getting more and more excited! Then it came in the mail.

I probably seemed like a kid when it arrived! But I was trying to act like an adult...hehehehe. I then read the book that came with it. I will admit I didn't read all of it cause I don't follow the eating/diet plan that the program wants you to follow. I know my eating is making me healthy and I will not change it. I just need to get my body into physical health now. And I feel this is it!

I started Monday, January 6, 2020 and am still excited about this program. My hubby has even decided to do the workouts. Already he says he is feeling a difference. I just love the positive motivation DDP has and it helps me cause I feed off energy!!

Well here is where this post gets not so good.

I have decided to do that photos that are suggested before starting on the program. Along with body measurements. I did it all! I will be using this blog as a place to share and log my progress. It's all about accountability. So here it is for all to see. The photos and measurements were taken 1/4/20
