Confessions of a Grumpy Old Yogi or Namaste The Hell Off My Lawn



Today is the last day of my most recent 13 week cycle in DDPYoga and also my last day on Rebuild. A lot of progress has been made. None of it scale-related. It's all about the strength and flexibility with me, See, I started out doing Keto a year before I started DDPY. Lost a ton of weight. Got down to pretty much what I consider to be an idea weight for me (195 lbs.) The problem was that once the weight was off, I realized I had the muscles structure of a one-year old and that needed to change.

As far as research goes, there wasn't a lot of it. I was on Youtube, and I think what I typed into the search engine was "Exercises for people in particularly shitty condition" What came up? I'll give you 3 guesses, but you're only gonna need one.



Yes, that's Arthur Boorman. The Baltimore City Special Ed teacher who's video (edited by Steve Wu) has inspired millions. If you haven't seen this video before, click it, dumby! It'll be the best 5 minutes you spend all day. Trust me.

I've Ben at this, on and off for over a years. Never have managed to get my diet under control again, but with as many restrictions as I already had on my diet (salt, phosphates, potassium, electrolytes, etc.) I'm still working on it and I'm getting there, with a bit of help from y wife.

The biggest change I have noticed in the last year is mu attitude. DDP does the whole "Own Your Life," "Be Positively Unstoppable," "Live life at 90% thing and I have applied a lot of these philosophies to y life. The guy is a real inspiration. I don't fly off the handle the way I used to. I actually look forward to my workouts every day... but tonight in the moment of truth. I'll be doing Synergy 40 around 7:30 or 8:00pm tonight, then later, at Midnight. The 13 year changeover happens and I will, for the first time, be progressing out of the Rebuild Series and Starting Beginner Beginner.

Am I nervous? Yes, Am I scare. More than a little.

Can I do This? Yes. Fuck yes I can!

 Time to own it.
