As I mentioned, this past week was the birthday week and I got a little off the rails over the weekend with snacking and drinks, but I was having a good time with my wife so I REGRET NOTHING!! But it’s been a new week and it’s been back to clean eating and we’ve bumped up our DDPY to 4 times a week. Next week we’ll go to 5 a week and the weeks after will be 6.
I know I’ve talked about DDPYoga before in my old blog but this is the first time I’ve been this consistent with it and I’m almost at the week 8 mark. The thing that has helped me the most in sticking with it is that my wife is on this journey with me. Seeing her grow in strength and endurance and her own surprise at what she can do has been a huge motivator for me as well to keep up. I believe she has an even more difficult journey because her goal is getting healthy and for her that means putting on weight, which is only done through increased caloric intake. Basically she has to eat like a hobbit.
So she’s doing weight gaining shakes, all plant based powders, in order to up her calories. Of course, our doctor has told her she doesn’t HAVE to, she’s healthy by every way he can measure. But to have her with me has meant everything. Our workouts have become our own personal time together, everyday. That has been an unexpected bonus in all of this and it is something we look forward to. If that’s not a NSV (Non Scale Victory), I don’t know what is.
Health isn't a goal, it's a journey
