I have lost my mind

Several of you have written to ask how the "30 Day Shred" deal is going.  I haven't blogged about it for a few days for a couple of reasons.

First, when you are doing the exact same routine night after night, by design, not a whole lot changes, right?  My legs are less sore.  My stamina is increasing.  I still cannot seem to fake jump rope to save my life (and how sad is that?!)  But I am still light years away from saying I am happy with the results.

I pulled up my Lose It app this morning to plug in my breakfast and decided to go back and check the program in terms of projected loss per week, calories, etc.  The way it was set, I was going to hit my goal in about July.  Ugh.  I adjusted it to be closer to bathing suit time and, well, let's just say I have a lunch full of veggies and fruits today.

I had taken "before" photos on our little camera.  They were never going to be posted or shared, just there for my reference.  And then we were at our friends house over the weekend and I was taking photos.  Brian picked up the camera to scroll back through them.  I heard him exclain, "Wife, what are these??!!"  He had found the before shots.  I was mortified.  Not that there were any surprises there, but still, not really something I was ever planning to share (and I give all of you who have shared them a ton of credit.)  And I deleted them.  Yup.  Gone.

So there is the second reason.  I was just feeling kind of deflated (or inflated if you looked at me, as in puffy and pudgy) about it all.

However, despite taking a break on Sunday, I got back to it last night. 

And this morning, I decided to step on the scale this morning.  And had to smile when it showed I was down 3.6 pounds from a week ago.

I did what anyone who needs justification would do and I googled "What weighs 3.6 pounds?"  And the first link that came up was this.

The human brain.

So if there was any doubt, yes I have lost my mind.
