Well, yesterday I was telling you about going to yoga. I started and was determined to succeed – not only with the yoga but also with the weight loss.
I guess you now realized – that what I was actually doing was changing my “mind set”. If I believed that I could do it – I would do it. I went out and bought some DVDs on yoga and every morning without fail I would get up, get my exercising clothes on and start a DVD. I started with a yoga for beginners DVD because I knew how bad my flexibility was. I used the same 30 minute segment for about a week before I would change.
Within six months, the weight had gone – I did change my eating habits too, I will admit. As the weight disappeared so my flexibility increased.
After about 18 months, I joined a gym – yes, this person who before thought gyms were for exercise freaks – signed up and I still go twice a week. I must admit – I love it. I have a personal trainer. By the way, I have never regained the weight.
My whole ideas had changed and you can do that too. All of this was having the belief in myself and constantly doing the same thing every day. OK – if I did miss one day or I ate the wrong thing one day – I didn’t beat myself up about it. This was my thinking pattern regarding eating – there are 3 meals a day, 7 days in a week, therefore 21 meals for the week. If I did the wrong thing for one meal – I tried to get the other 20 right and that is a pretty high percentage of success. If you got that percentage pass mark in you exams at school, you would have been the top student – and that is what you will be now – changing your thoughts, will help change YOU!!
I have just picked a selection of DVDs on yoga for beginners and the inflexible that may interest you,
Hey I have to go – talk to you tomorrow!!
