I’ll have to take photos later when I have some “free” time (time is a pretty valuable commodity in my life right now so calling it free seems silly) but this morning I weighed in at 210.2.<\/p>\n

That’s the lowest point I’ve been in a year and .2 lbs away from my halfway point of 50 pound weight loss.<\/p>\n

Overall September was a really poor month for weight loss. I felt like I started strong but it wasn’t long until the workouts started getting further and further apart.<\/p>\n

By the time things quieted down in the house and everyone was asleep I found it really hard to stay motivated to work out – and often crashed in a chair with Little Miss in my arms or nearby.<\/p>\n

But regardless, I can definitely say the DDP Yoga is making a difference. I can do a number of things I was unable to do a month or two months ago and a lot closer to doing other things.<\/p>\n

I shared my DVDs with my dad and he asked how would you measure improvements in strength without using weights and I can say for sure that you’ll see improvements in your strength just by witnessing what you can do overtime.<\/p>\n

Three months ago a standard push-up was out of the question. Apparently I’ve been doing push-ups wrong most of my life by spreading my arms and hands way to far to the sides.<\/p>\n

Last week, much to my amazement, I managed to pull off two ten-count push-ups – something I collapsed under a month ago.<\/p>\n

In fact, I struggled with a 3-count push-up when I first began.<\/p>\n

A 10-count push-up is essentially lowering, holding and then lifting back up with a 10-count for each one.<\/p>\n

Now granted, none of this is the fast overnights success you might get from pushing yourself to pure exhaustion like some of my peeps do with CrossFit – but it’s progress and I enjoy it.<\/p>\n

So here’s to the 2nd half of #50lbsByDec and finding my (and your) motivation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
