Ack. I reweighed myself, unclothed, before bed last night and it was lower: 163. Apparently, my thin tank top and yoga pants weigh 4 lbs. Who knew? But on a crappier note, I still gained 2 lbs in the last week and now I'm heaver than my starting weight.

Ugh. This can't be right: 167, clothed. Must weigh myself again before bed. I can't possibly have gained 6 lbs in 1 week! Goddamn fudge.

Ahhh, so I started the 30-Day Shred yesterday. I ordered the DVD a week ago and it hasn't arrived yet, but I found it on YouTube (in 9 parts) and decided to get a head start. I'm enjoying it. Of course, trying to do ab work on the floor when a 1 year old is dive bombing your head while cackling hysterically and trying to give you open-mouthed kisses or trying to do leg work with the same 1 year old is hanging onto you for dear life (again with the cackling, it's a fun game!) adds another challenge to the work out. Oh - and it was especially enjoyable when he sat on my head with a poopy diaper. *le sigh* I should also mention that when Felix isn't doing those things, he's messing with the computer - clicking the mouse, opening and closing browser windows, calibrating the system preferences... fun times!

I've done level 1 twice now. It's a 20 minute work out, broke down into 2-3 minute segments: warm up, cardio, abs, circuit, resistence, etc. I'm really enjoying it! I'm surprisingly out of breath and sore afterwards, so it must be working. The plan is to do level 1 for 10 days, then move on to level 2 for 10 days, then finally level 3 for 10 days. Not sure what to do after the 30 days to maintain my new hot bod...
