BigMatt here with my 90 Day DDPYoga update. It's been about two weeks since I did my last blog update. It's been a long couple of weeks.
I would like to dedicate today's update to my Sweet Aunt Lynnie. She passed away last week after a long fight with cancer. She was one of the strongest people I have ever met. Even when she knew she was losing her fight, she never let it effect her attitude, or take away her beautiful smile. I know how proud of me she has been for being able to Own My Life, and the results I have had on this journey to date.
On to the great update news!
60 day weight: 335
90 day weight: 316!!!
Down another 19lbs!! that brings us to a total of 81 lbs lost!!
60 day inches lost 39.5
90 day inches lost 52!!!!
Lost another 12.5 inches this month. With the big losing areas being, 3 inches from my waist. 3.5 inches from my chest. and 2 inches from my thighs.
I'm still just amazed that 90 days in to this journey and I have completely changed my life. I'm doing things again that I haven't been able to in almost ten years. I won't lie and say it has been easy, or that it is getting easier. It continues to be a constant struggle with my addiction to food. I have some how managed to stay strong, and not fall hard.
I would like to say a big thank you to my amazing wife Amy! She has made the food side of things a whole lot easier than it would have been. She has totally hopped on board and changed what our entire family eats. She continues to find new ways to make amazing healthy food for us. I could not have come this far without her.
I also could not be where I am now, without the support of so many people. From DDP himself, to all the folks over at teamddpyoga.com. To all of you that read this blog, and leave comments and send me encouraging messages. You all have NO idea how much it helps me daily. Most importantly, my family. You all have been amazing. I continue to be amazed, and so thankful at how all of our extended family makes exceptions for us. They make sure to have healthy options available every time we gather for family events. It truly is a special thing we have. :)
We are coming up on some pretty serious milestones. I'm 16lbs away from 300.(17 from 299!!) I'm also 19lbs away from hitting the century mark for weight loss. WOW.. almost 100lbs down. I honestly can't even tell you when the last time was that I weighed under 300 lbs.
When I started this, I tried to set very attainable goals. Because reaching goals is a great way to stay motivated. My initial goal was 350 by June 14th. (my bday). When we hit that in March, I decided to change that goal to 325. Well I hit that in early May. Now I am at 316 with four weeks to go before we hit the big day.
My new Birthday Goal: 300
WOW. It's amazing what you can do when you make the decision to own your life, start eating correctly, and get off your ass and do something about it.
I have been pleasantly surprised lately by multiple friends of mine that have decided to start their own DDPYoga journey. If you are on the fence, just jump and take the leap. If you have questions or concerns, get a hold of me, I will do what I can to answer your questions. It's all right there just waiting on you to grab it and run.
Enjoy the new pics!
Until next time.
