I'm 5 days away from my "mid way" point. Well, midway for the schedule. I plan on never stopping this. Today was, a day, not a great day, not a bad day. I felt pretty miserable this morning, but still pushed my way through Diamond Cutter. I felt much better after doing this. My weight has pretty much plateaued, but I've lost a bit more size. Haven't decided if i'm going to reveal anything for day 45, or just wait until day 60.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading, i know i haven't been doing this everyday, but i still don't have internet in my new house. I'm trying to post as often as i can, to keep you guys posted and to keep myself accountable.<br />

Hopefully you get the reference of the 37 but if not, go watch the film clerks and enlighten yourself.<br />
So, today is 1 week passed my day 30, i'm still hovering around 245, which to me is impressive because with moving i've only done yoga 3 times. And my eating habits haven't been the best. BUT i woke up to a surprise this morning, my waist is down to 45 and 1/2 which is another 1/4inch off, and getting ever so close of the milestone goal of being under 45". <br />
<br />
I'm going to attempt to start doing videos at least 3 times a week, with different challenges. I did the plank challenge a few days ago which you can see here.<br />

And i'm looking for ideas for others. Today i wanted to see how many push ups i could do in 1 take without lowering to a knee.<br />

I want to bring up a great picture.<br />

Which 5 pounds would you rather have. Left or right. I also feel this could be a great tool for those of you starting out, wondering why your gaining weight. Your gaining what's on the right, Lean muscle. And you know what, the more of the lean muscle you have, the more fat, that nasty stuff on the right, you burn. I learned this from Heidi (i think) the easiest way to lose three pounds is throwing the scale out the window. Take measurements, and go from there.<br />
<br />
Alright guys, day 37 is in the books. And i'm having a great time. Thanks for reading.<br />

I had a pretty solid day. Ate pretty solid. I did below the belt which is a lower body workout (30 minutes) but it had a lot of shoulder building as well from the down dogs and 3 legged dog crunches. I'm thinking about doing a video tomorrow to see how many push-ups I can do.<br />
<br />
Sorry for the short blogs. I've been doing this on my phone sense moving. Soon I'll be posting from a computer and be able to type a bit longer.<br />

I haven't fallen of the wagon. I did diamond cutter today. 50 minutes of amazing yoga action. The reason I've been away is I'm moving. I've been moving stuff from place to place the last few days. But today I found the time to do ddp. And also afterwards had time to do this<br />

And, i took a rest day. I know, why would you take a rest day right before your big day 30 photos and weigh in. Well let me tell you, sometimes your body lets you know when you need to rest. And I've killed myself the last week, over an hour everyday. And i just needed a rest. I'm not in pain, nor am i sore, but sometimes rest can deliver the best results.<div>
Tomorrow morning i'm waking up and taking my photos. It'll probably be later tomorrow night before i get anything posted. I have a wedding to go to in Abingdon tomorrow which is about an hour and a half from here. But, my results are awesome in my opinion. </div>
<div>
So with that being said, i DID do some stretching, and i was really noticing my flexibility has increased a lot. But guys, with that said, it's about bed time, gotta get the rest as well. 1 more day, tomorrow is what we've been working for day 30, coming at you "live" (thanks rob) shortly. I'm telling you this program is a life saver.</div>

Wow, 4 weeks, that's gone by fast. I think what amazes me most about this program is how FUN it is. Yes i said it, i have FUN working out. It makes me feel better, it doesn't stress my joints, it's 0 impact, BUT i get a world class workout. I literally have to remind myself to take rest because i look forward to my time with DDP everyday. <br />
What's on today's schedule? Well today was my nieces birthday, 2 years old, and i'm a family man. My family comes first, and my nieces and nephews mean a lot to me. So, how could i turn down a cupcake for this little angel? I didn't, that's how. Now before you go saying "Blasphemer" or whatever else you'll call me, note this. I had 1. That's it, 1. I ate 1 and stopped. You see part of this journey for me has been learning how to eat healthy, and the other part of eating healthy in my opinion is moderation. I see nothing wrong with 1 cupcake. And the fact that my diet has been so clean the last few days/month, i saw nothing wrong with a little indulgence. I honestly feel the quickest way to making yourself quit a health routine is become a straight up nazi about it. Relax, you want that cupcake DO IT. But just make sure it's in moderation and not everyday.<br />
<br />
Wowsa, i got off on a tangent there. So after I left my brothers i came home, and within minutes i had my mat out and DDP in my PS3. Which workout? DIAMOND CUTTER. It's become my go to. It's 50 minutes and works and stretches your entire body from top to bottom. I feel like a million bucks, and heck, i even look like...........well i'm not there yet, but i'm getting there! Again, i would like to thank you all for reading this, over 1100 views, and that's amazing, i'm sure it's the same people. BUT you are the ones who keep me accountable.<br />
<br />If you all have any questions about what i'm doing or information on this program, feel free to contact me on facebook.<br />

Had a buddy come in from a few hours away that i hadn't seen in a while. And had to go to the hospital with my Girlfriend whose mom had a pacemaker put it. I was going from the time i got up at 7:30 this morning.<br />
With that said, i did find time to workout. Not only that, but i got in 50 minutes via Diamond Cutter and it was fantastic. My heart rate was through the roof and i'm sure i burned a TON of calories. I feel incredible. I took some pre 30 day photos, and i'm happy with the results. Their not mind blowing or astonishing, but what they are, is very credible, realistic results. I know a few areas i need to make adjustments, (diet mainly) but i feel i got what i put in, and that's incredible. 3 more day's and you guys will see the results. I will take a new set obviously on day 30. <br />

I did Double Black Diamond. An intermediate workout, running roughly 70 minutes. And i gave it my all and started fizzling out toward the end. Very very tough. A few hours later, i pulled my mat back out, and decided to just do some stretching. I'm still trying to get my hips loose, and it doesn't seem like it matters how much stretching i do, that's the one area i can't seem to gain flexibility in. Or at least it's a bit slower then the rest of my body. I spent about an extra hour doing the stretches.<br />
Other then that, i didn't do a whole lot of anything, sat around watched some TV and played some games. Only 4 more days until day 30 pics. I'm excited, and also learning at the same time, i know where i need to make adjustments and can't wait until day 60. But i'm not trying to get ahead of myself, i'm focused on 4 days from now when day 30 hits on the calender.<br />
Ladies and gentlemen, i wish i could express how good my body feels from doing this. This program has completely restored my body, now yes i have a ways to go but i feel like a new man. I wake up with 0 pain, none, not a bit, pain free, and that's amazing. It's been a long time sense that has happened. I wake up (most of the time as i'm still not a morning person) refreshed and energized. I just want everyone to at least try yoga, stretching and lengthening your spine will hold back the hands of time. <br />

Not the sore after lifting a ton of weights and you can't move, but a i can tell i've worked my muscles and it feels good. This sentence may make no sense to you, unless you're a yoga, DDPYoga in-particular, user. So, i opted to at least get a small workout in, i did energy which is 22 minutes. I didn't put a whole lot on it but enough to get a great stretch. Didn't get any running in either but it also rained all day. I'm not using that as an excuse, but my body was letting me know i needed to take it easy today. I'm having trouble opening my hips, there insanely tight, it's the only place that hasn't really gained a lot of flexibility. Any help?<br />
<br />
Peeps there is 5 days left until my day 30 video. I'm getting excited, i'm seeing all kinds of amazing changes, my clothes are fitting better, and some shirts that used to be a bit tight are fitting a little looser now. And the amazing thing about this, all of this from Yoga, YES Yoga. So many people look at me strange, i remember buying my Yoga mat at Wal-Mart and the lady scoffed. People keep knocking it, but once you see my results in 5 days, maybe you'll give it a try.<br />
<br />
Tomorrow i'm going to have another go at Diamond Cutter (50 minutes) and possibly some more running in the evening. Thanks for reading.<br />

My motivation and determination will not be broke. I did Diamond Cutter (50 minutes, and on the intermediate disc) followed by Red Hot Core (almost 20 minutes). So, i consider that a huge win for myself. Then to make things better, i went to my brothers and ran about 2 miles. Up some hills, and everything, it was a pretty challenging run. <br />
6 days to the 30 day measurements and weigh in.<br />
<br />
One thing i want to discuss, is a famous old saying. Behind every good man, their is a better woman. I think i fall into that category, my girlfriend, is not only supportive, but has endeavored on this journey with me. She doesn't do 6-7 days like i do. But she follows the schedule, and sometimes gets an extra workout in from time to time.<br />
Short but sweet (The blog not my girlfriend) thanks for checking it out.<br />

I was busy from when i woke up at 7:30, until right this minute at 10:28 as i type this. As i mentioned yesterday my sister is now doing DDPYoga, i woke up earlier then usual this morning to prepare breakfast. Having her here is great because holding her accountable, is in turn holding myself accountable. <br />
Knowing today was going to be such a busy day i decided to do DDPYoga on my lunch from work. And i'm glad i did, because the rest of the day i was busy. I did Fat Burner and boy did it have me sweating. However i noticed i'm getting stronger, the 3 second push-ups i'm a lot more efficient at. I can hold myself about 3 inches off the ground and slowly come up, it's not longer a struggle, and it's not an un-even push. Today i mark as a huge success, and just another step in the grand scheme of things. <br /><br />
Another thing is to the DDPYoga community. You guys are the best. I love everyone i talk to in there. And i just wanna do my best to keep you all motivated . So remember this. DDP is soon going to be releasing his "documercial" and Teamddpyoga.com is going to absolutely explode. Chat get's tough sometimes with the 30-40 people at a time. Imagine when it gets to be thousands. So with that remember this, whether this is your first day, or your hundreth day, NEVER STOP. When this place blows up, you can be the person the new guys look up to. The way that i look up to Rob, Philly, Marv, Heidi, and EVERY SINGLE person on team ddp. Start today, so you can be the motivation for someone tomorrow.<br />
<br />
Thanks for reading guys, i love everyone of you all.<br />
<br />
OWN YOUR LIFE!<br />
BANG!!!<br />

Not from a workout stand point. But for the next month my sister is living with me. I have my own "accountability crib". So for the next 30 days we're gonna blog her progress as well. I will link it in my blog tomorrow.<br />
I did some stretching today, and i held the black crow position for 8 seconds. Starting to find my balance, which is awesome. After yesterdays workout of yoga and running i was semi sore today so i just took it easy. I stretched out, added a little dynamic resistance and didn't over do it. <br />
Sorry i know this was a quick blog, but don't forget 8 days until my day 30 blog. Not much longer, i think you all will all be impressed. <br />
Another thing i wanna talk about, i have 700 views. in 22 days. That's crazy guys. I appreciate every single person who comes here and views this. I'm going to link you to a few amazing video blogs.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/DDPYogaVSRob?feature=watch">DDPYoga Vs Rob</a> is fantastic, he's one of my favorites out there.<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/Stax1138">Adam Stax</a> does a monthly blog, and is talking about doing weekly. He's a pastor, great passion and a great inspiration<br />
<a href="http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCtrvYbvCXFXQNuq9H8FS0Pg">Heavy Hippie</a> this dude, if you don't get motivated from this guy, you need to get out of here.<br />
<br />
Short but sweet. Love you guys<br />

First off i'd like to say thanks to everyone who reads these. In just 21 days i've had over 500 people view my blog, and that's amazing.<br />
What can i say, three full weeks down, 3 weeks stronger. 9 days until the day 30 weigh in. So, how was my day 21. <br />
Well for starters, here's this.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdE1g15KqCHV4KgZ5BNdlDLKT_-ba4e1xgXWs3Ish2tm22lxvDLBFIx5ZiTDUHTmzcf0Ub37C2-F_CM12ci5c2RmQ-vPaR45OuQR7q6zPWPlIvy0wqCyg6Ddx7o5jJlHtweyyo4TQywr0I/s1600/1016952_10151731134453948_299692649_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdE1g15KqCHV4KgZ5BNdlDLKT_-ba4e1xgXWs3Ish2tm22lxvDLBFIx5ZiTDUHTmzcf0Ub37C2-F_CM12ci5c2RmQ-vPaR45OuQR7q6zPWPlIvy0wqCyg6Ddx7o5jJlHtweyyo4TQywr0I/s320/1016952_10151731134453948_299692649_n.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
Now, the reason this photo is important is because 21 days ago i couldn't do this. Not only could i not do this, i couldn't even get low enough to attempt it. That is a huge deal to me. Not only that, but if i could get into that position, i couldn't support my weight 21 days ago. I'm lighter and stronger, well, you get the picture (no pun intended)<br />
<br />
So, day 21, definitely had a BANG to it. I did Stand up, which is a little over 30 minutes, of intense leg work. From where i did diamond cutter a few days ago, my shoulders were still feeling it, so i decided to mostly work the lower body.<br />
Afterwards, i went to my brothers and ran a mile and a half, not on level terrain either, it's got it's share of up and downs, and the hill at the end is pretty steep. Who knows, maybe i'll make a video and show you all the route i take.<br />
<br />
So, guys, have you seen enough? Are you ready to change your life, go check out <a href="http://www.ddpyoga.com/">www.ddpyoga.com</a>. And if that's not enough just watch this video.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/qX9FSZJu448?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
If you can watch this video and tell me "I can't" i'll know you're a liar. Enough with excuses, enough with giving up on yourself. It's time to OWN YOUR LIFE. You can change, you can become healthy and it doesn't require you beating yourself up with weights and junk all day long. (i'm not bashing those who do). But this program is great for beginners all the way up for those who are in great physical condition.<br />
<br />
So i'll leave you with two bits of information.<br />
1. Do not complain about your results, with the work you did not do.<br />
2. (stealing this DDPYoga VS Rob great youtube channel, check it out) Ladies and gentlemen, This is not rocket science, this is DDPYoga.<br />
<br />
OWN YOUR LIFE!<br />
BANG!!!<br /><br />

Just completely drained. I'm not sure if it had to do with lack of sleep, or the fact that i crushed Diamond Dozen. For those of you unfamiliar with the program Diamond Cutter is considered an "intermediate" workout, it's 50 minutes, of ridiculously intense stretching and working out. So i consider day 19 a success.<br />
<br />
Day 20<br />
Waking up today my body was sore. Probably from pushing so hard during Diamond Cutter. I planned on taking it easy. But i went to my brothers and actually ran about a mile and a half with him. Then afterwards coming home and and doing Energy with my girlfriend. The thing i love about this program, is even if you push it a bit, you always feel rewarded after doing it. You don't feel regretful. <br />
<br />
Guys, 10 days away from my 30 day weight in, and i'm not sure what my weight will bring, but i can honestly tell you, i think the changes in inches in my waist are going to shock you guys. Keep reading, and remember<br />
<br />
OWN YOUR LIFE!<br />
BANG!!!<br />

I'm going to do some more stretching later tonight, i'm still working on my hips. There so freaking tight, everything else has loosened up, except that area, the "hip-flexers" if you will. Going to a buddy's to work on some stretching, he does DDPYoga as well, and probably watch wrestling all night.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Diet:</div>
<div>
So, right now, what i've been doing the last week is called the 5:2 diet, 5 days around about 1800-2000 calories, and 2 days at 600. This prevents starvation mode, and essentially shocks your metabolism and causes it to work faster, and harder. So far in 5 days, the results of this has been, well, better then i imagined. But again i'll update you on day 30 of that progress.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Day 30 is only 12 days away people. And i am getting so excited.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
OWN YOUR LIFE!</div>
<div>
BANG!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>

Today is a huge day for me, i'm realizing this thing is happening. only 13 days away from my 30 day weigh in. Under 2 weeks. It's a crazy feeling knowing how far i've come in 17 short days. I'm getting stronger, my flexibility is becoming so much deeper, and i'm getting smaller. My waist has already had some crucial loss around my waist. But i'm not gonna spoil it for you. Tune in in 13 day's for that.<br />
Today exercise wise I did Fat Burner and Energy back to back. Jacked my heart rate up, and went as hard as i can go. My caloric intake was under 1800, so i'm still gaining ground and making progress. Plus i'm eating clean. <br />
<br />
Cheat days. Let's rehash this. I'm done with cheat days. 100%, I cheated last week, and i paid for it, and i felt like crap. Gained some weight, and it almost made me want to quit. SO with that said, i am done cheating. Pretty much clean eating and healthier choices from here on out. <br />
That's about it for today. Thanks for the people at <a href="http://www.teamddpyoga.com/">www.teamddpyoga.com</a> for keeping me motivated.<br />
<br />
OWN YOUR LIFE!<br />
BANG!!!<br />

There wasn't a lot that went on today, i worked from 8-7. I didn't do an exact tape, but i took some stuff from several different ones and made my own routine. Feeling better and stronger everyday. I'ts crazy to think how fast time flies. I'm over half way to day 30 which is nuts. I've been doing this 16 days, which is 16 days of not procrastinating. Just staying motivated and keeping going. Tomorrow i'm going to do Yoga and do some walking. <br />
<br />
My goal is to be 225-230 by September 7th (my birthday). 52 days. Definitely obtainable, i'm honestly hoping to hit that by my day 60 weight in which is September 2nd. Time to kick it into high gear and get stuff done.<br />
<br />
OWN YOUR LIFE!<br />
BANG!!!<br />

The start of week 3. I'm feeling great, i took an off day yesterday and honestly i think it may have done WAY more good then bad. I was definitely putting time in, and my body was letting me know it needed a break. My weight has maintained around the same, But i'm not overly concerned with weight as much as i am about size. Also, i'm making this promise, i'm not weighing until day 30 when i reveal the numbers to you all.<br />
<br />
Today as far as exercise i did Energy Felt great to stretch out, and put a lot behind this workout. I stopped using my heart rate monitor because i found myself checking it way to often. I would lose my heart rate because of checking the freaking monitor. At any rate, Energy did it's job, and i plan on doing some light stretching prior to bed.<br />
<br />
GOALS<br />
So, i made a list of goals short term and long term goals. Here they are.<br />
<br />

I took today as a rest day as I feel exhausted. I didn't sleep well last night and I honestly felt if I did a work out I wouldn't have been able to put anything Into it. It's the 2nd time in 14 days I didn't do yoga. I am going to do some stretching here in a minute though so in still limbering my body up. <div><br></div><div>I'm posting this from my phone so tomorrow will be the day I post about my goals and such.
