Hi...My name is Michele Grindle... I made a video prior with my camcorder...my very first attempt at doing the Diamond Dozen...I
have an inner ear disorder called Menieres Disease and I was afraid it was ganna have
some issues, which it did...I did allot better than I thought I would...I'm hoping to do
better eventually in the long run...so I'm ganna start documenting and keeping track...the
only bummer I've come across with is...my camcorder doesn't seem to be compatible with
my widows 8 computer...any of the videos It makes...so I'm ganna have to do another Diamond
Dozen with this one and then i'll be able to edit everything and put everything together...so
I apologize this moving around but I'm doing this on my tablet and I haven't been able
to find a place where I can put it where I can sit comfortably and do this video...I've
done allot of things before I started doing this because I watched the video with Arthur...Most
inspiring video I have EVER seen in my entire life! that was several months ago when I was
in a really, really, really bad place...couple of years ago my Menieres got worse...it use
to be i just had attacks every once in a while and I felt normal in between...well a couple
of years go things took a turn for the worst...to the point where I have to sit down to take
a shower now...I cant go in public without having a walker or being able to hold onto
someones arm...all the people moving around the lights the motion the sounds all of that
stuff throws off my balance...I've also gotten to the point...well...my doctor pulled my
license...and I use to be the kind of person that...I worked 3 jobs if I had to to support
my children...I ended up losing my job because of it...I kept falling at work...I actually
kept losing my hearing ...to that happens every once in a while i'll lose it...the longest
it has lasted was about 10 minutes...its scary stuff! ....but when you work at a call center,
that's not ok...you cant lose your hearing while your talking to a customer...plus the
fact that I kept losing my balance at work...that was concerning them, that I kept ending up
in the hospital because we didn't know what was wrong...anyways so needless to say my
life was changed...I went from working 3 jobs if I have to...working a job , cleaning the
house ...cooking dinner...taking care of the kids...to having to have my children help
me...stay close when I take a shower in case I fall...now that kinda hurts your pride...but
anyways...so...I saw the video that Arthur did for his success with DDP Yoga...and it
got me to the point where I was like...you know what...yes...it sucks...your life has
changed...your probably only half the person you use to be...I mean you cant do things
like you use to...doing the dishes is an all day job instead of 5 minute job...your life
has changed, it sucks you cant drive...you have to rely on other people...so far I haven't
been able to find a job that I can do, I'm actually in the process of applying for disability...but
watching that video made me realize...you know what? Suck it up...I mean...yes...it
sucks! life is not what it use to be...you cant go places with out being miserable...so
actually I stay in my house...I really haven't gone anywhere ...except for Doctor appointments....for
going on almost 3 years...but when you have something like this all the lights and sounds...the
people...it all affects you when its almost like...why would you put yourself through
it?... Just stay home if you have people that can help you...and I spent allot of time in
bed...when I don't feel good...depressed...my bed...that's where I go...But anyways...I
saw this video and I....I'm not a crier...ok...I don't cry...ok...I'm more the guy in every
relationship I have ever been in...people cry and I'm like...eeehhh you'll be ok...you
know i'm just not good with the whole crying thing...but I actually teared up...I was just
like OMG...I mean this guy couldn't even walk without having two arm braces...and having
braces on his legs and then now he's just...the things that he's doing...you would have to
be inhuman to not be inspired by this video... but anyways...it took me a few months...this
is probably...gosh ...6 months ago...it took me a few months to get to the point where
I was like...you know what? Micky...suck it up! you know, I mean...yes your life has changed
but you are still alive...I spend more time with my children than I ever got to before...I
was to busy providing for them...taking care of them...and you know...and I learned that
yes it sucks that I have to have my kids close for me to just take a shower...thank God they
haven't had to come in there yet...usually my boyfriend and good friend if anything does
happen its been him...but anyways so..because of Arthur I finally got to the point where
i was done with the Why me...poor pitiful me...I was done with being pist off about
it...and I finally decided to just do what you can...that's all you can do... and I'm
going to do this DDP Yoga...and like I said I'm going to record again on here because
I cant get my camcorder to work where I can edit the video or I can even just do the full
video, it just....it wont work...I don't know... so I'll do... I'll do it again and I'll record
it with this camera...on my tablet...and then I'll be able to post that on my YouTube...also
try to remember to put the link for Arthurs video in the bottom of this video...and then
another thing I do know a gentlemen that actually has an inner ear disorder...hes not quite
sure what it is yet...he doesn't know if its Menieres or if its something else and I'll
ask him if I can also share his information as well....and if he'll let me I'll put his
link down there to...he started doing the DDP Yoga and he....from what it sounds like...was
doing just as bad as I was doing if not worse when he first started....and now he's able
to do the moves and he's lost a ton of weight...so...O! I also want to add...to that I'm doing this
with my kids...and Jeremy to, kind of....I'm not sure if he's going to do the DDP Yoga
or if he's going to do something else cause he really doesn't have a whole lot of weight
that he needs to lose...but me and my two kids do...11 and 15...so I'm also ganna make
a video with all of our pictures....our beginning pictures then I'll start making videos to
show our progress as well...so anyways this is turning out being allot longer than I had
planned but I'm glad I was able to kind of let you guys know...you know a little bit
about my history...whats going on...why I decided to do this...and I'm hoping that here
soon I will be a walking success story for DDP Yoga...looks like its helping allot of
people...I mean besides us...just people that want to lose weight...from what I've seen...Diamond
Dallas Page...I'm not into wrestling at all....ok...but from what I've seen from Diamond Dallas Page's
page he is a awesome person...I mean he has really helped allot of people and he's there
close with them...and allot of wrestlers that have kind of strayed a little and gotten into
some of the bad stuff...he has helped them get their act cleaned up and you know focus
on healthy eating...and you know...yoga or exercise or whatever you need to do to stay
away from that crap...and I commend him for that...I really really do...so...I'm very
excited to start...I actually start tomorrow...tomorrow will be day 1...which will be May 27th 2013...Its
going to be my day 1 of doing my DDP Yoga...so wish me luck and like I said at 30 days 40
days and 90 days I'll be posting updated pictures...of our prgress...and I'll try to also do a few
videos in between there as well so its not...you know...a wide spread before I do another video...but
alright I'm ganna go ahead and sign off for now and like I said I'll get the video done
of me trying the Diamond Dozen...again...and do it on here so I can actually edit it and
get it put on Facebook...so stay tuned people...I've got more coming hopefully like I said I'll
be a walking success story here real soon...thank you for watching :)
