The Beginning---Well the day before the Beginning

Well here it is my first blog.  The reason I am starting this blog is to:
1. Track my progress to the new healthy me using DDP Yoga. 
2. To create accountability to myself to continue on my track to success.
3. To prove to others that it can be done and that it can be done by me.

Here is the great thing.  Since I have quit smoking I feel I can accomplish anything (granted I have had a few relapses I think most people who quit cold turkey do.)  I actually have willpower I never thought that I had.

The reason I am starting this journey is because I am tired of being fat and unhealthy.  What really kick started it is I had a pretty bad health scare at the very beginning of the new year.  I thought I was having a heart attack.  Spent the night in the ER.  Went to my Doc the next day and thank god he told me it was a Gastro (GERD) problem with high BP thrown into the mix.  He put me on meds and things could not be better.  Beside the fact that I can't drink Carbonation or Caffeine any longer.  That will only help in the future though.

Doc said he would rather me start it slow and work my way up because of the High BP so I am going to start of 4 times a week Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and either Saturday or Sunday.  Pictures of my progress will be taken and posted.  I am going to have Alicia take my before pictures tonight.  So please whoever is reading this give me as many prayers and encouragements you can I will need them.  LET THE NEW LIFE BEGIN.

Thank you from the old me
