I finally got back on the saddle again today. It is very important that you have support and I have 3 great friends to help me stay on this. We went to a free introductory DDP yoga class today and had a great time. Hopefully I can offer help to them, but I am the worlds worst at disciplining myself. I think they will be great accountability partners!
It was more painful than I thought, but not as hard as I thought it would be-the moves came back to me quickly, just a little wobbly. My biggest problem was muscle cramps. I get them in my inner thigh, under my ribcage and sometimes in my ankle (the absolute worst!). A dude there said to drink coconut milk. I think that is a lovely suggestion. I have done some reading on cramps and am pretty sure that it is from drinking too much coffee and not enough water, even though I cut out soft drinks and drink lots of water, orange juice and now I am on to drinking green tea.

My ankle will take some time to heal, but I know that I am in the right place for that. The folks at the DDP yoga facebook page and the teamddpyoga website are very helpful and encouraging if you have any problems doing this.
Eventually I will take those pictures I need to take to be the before pictures. Some day....
