Diamond in the Rough: DTFP
http://wannaloveyoga.blogspot.com/2013/07/dtfp.html
Diamond in the Rough. A Winding Path Toward Healthy Living. Friday, July 19, 2013. I've coined a new mantra that I find myself saying over and over. I have a tendency to improvise rather than following instructions. I'm not sure why - I mean, why spend even a minute thinking about something if someone's already done the thinking for me and I've paid that person to tell me what to do? Well, no more. So next time I want that glass of wine at night? Next time I think eating gluten-free pizza is a great idea?

Diamond in the Rough: So Six Days Later...
http://wannaloveyoga.blogspot.com/2013/09/so-six-days-later.html
Diamond in the Rough. A Winding Path Toward Healthy Living. Wednesday, September 4, 2013. So Six Days Later. I don't feel much better. I'm putting the yoga on hold for now. I'll keep checking in here but I really just want my back to heal. I hope this is nothing more serious than a pulled muscle, because I have crappy health insurance. Maybe I should get into my car and roll into a tree at slow speed or something - because I have good auto insurance! I saw a good movie yesterday called The Spectacular Now.

Diamond in the Rough: Day 54
http://wannaloveyoga.blogspot.com/2013/09/day-54.html
Diamond in the Rough. A Winding Path Toward Healthy Living. Thursday, September 5, 2013. Day 54. Huh. It doesn't feel like day 60 should be right around the corner. I don't think I'll be updating pics for the 60 days.not much has changed so far. On the plus side.juicing feels good! I've been drinking about 64oz per day of freshly squeezed fruit/vegetable juice. I still eat other food, so it's not a juice fast, but I'm eating only whole foods - nothing processed, no gluten, no dairy. RHC = Red Hot Core.

Thin Man Within: 10 weeks later
http://thinmanwithin.blogspot.com/2013/09/10-weeks-later.html
Not thin now on the outside, but owning my life day by day to get there. 113 pounds to go. Follow me on twitter at @thinmanwithin. My transformation pictures (progress pictures COMING SOON! Wednesday, September 18, 2013. With any major lifestyle change, there’s much trial and error involved. Today I’m going to go over what I’ve learned so far while doing the DDPYOGA program the past 10 weeks:. Balance is much easier to achieve than flexibility, at least for me. Nut butter does me in on the scale. You are...

Diamond in the Rough: My Goals
http://wannaloveyoga.blogspot.com/p/my-goals.html
Diamond in the Rough. A Winding Path Toward Healthy Living. Here they are, in no particular order:. 1 I will lose 60 pounds. At 60 pounds less than where I am today I'll weigh the same I did in college - 143. I worked out regularly and felt fit back then. I've never been a skinny girl - I've always been strong, muscular. So we're shooting for that weight. 2 My fasting blood sugar will be below 95, on 5 out of 7 mornings that I test. I guess that's enough goals for now. No need to go completely crazy.

Diamond in the Rough: Moving On
http://wannaloveyoga.blogspot.com/2013/09/moving-on.html
Diamond in the Rough. A Winding Path Toward Healthy Living. Monday, September 9, 2013. I've decided I'll no longer be doing DDP Yoga. My back is well enough now that I could be doing the videos again, but I don't really want to. I don't look forward to the strength training exercises - the pushups, squats, and other calesthenic-type activities. I think I really just want to do yoga. I don't dig all the spiritual stuff that often comes with typical yoga, but I can just tune that out, I suppose. I've alway...

Diamond in the Rough: DDP Yoga
http://wannaloveyoga.blogspot.com/p/ddp-yoga.html
Diamond in the Rough. A Winding Path Toward Healthy Living. My approach to health has been flailing around for years. Things changed when I saw this video of Arthur Boorman:. The video was shared with me by a friend. I watched it a handful of times over the next several months, and each time I found it very emotionally touching and inspiring. At some point, something clicked. If Arther can do it, so can I. In July 2013 I ordered the DDP Yoga videos. And joined up with Team DDPY. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Diamond in the Rough: Hip Hip Hooray
http://wannaloveyoga.blogspot.com/2013/08/hip-hip-hooray.html
Diamond in the Rough. A Winding Path Toward Healthy Living. Tuesday, August 27, 2013. Another day of Red Hot Core.I seem to have pulled a muscle in my lower back somehow - I don't think it was during yoga - probably lifting my kiddo or something, but the last thing I wanted to do was yoga. Made myself though, and just took it easy on moves that challenged those muscles. Weight loss, but I am seeing some results. So three cheers for Red Hot Core! 90 Workouts in 90 Days. 7/23/13 - Day 1: Energy. 8/25/13 - ...

Diamond in the Rough: Discouraged But Not Giving In
http://wannaloveyoga.blogspot.com/2013/08/discouraged-but-not-giving-in.html
Diamond in the Rough. A Winding Path Toward Healthy Living. Monday, August 26, 2013. Discouraged But Not Giving In. The weight loss end of this journey is just not shaping up for me. I've done LOTS of things over the past two years to lose weight, and haven't had much success. I can lose a few pounds every time, but gain it back, or else get so hungry that whatever plan I'm doing becomes unmanageable. Here are a few of the things I've attempted over just the last few years:. High carb, low fat. 7/27/13 -...
