Did I do it??

I know all 3 of you that read my blog are on the edge of your seats wondering if I made it the full 30 days of the 30 Day Shred... well... I made it!!! Actually, I can't lie. It took me 32 days to do 30 days of the Shred. We were traveling one day and the other I had a weird eye emergency. I'm now on Day 31 of what I like to call: Shred till I'm Dead! I'm a little upset that I do not have the 6-pack that Jillian Michaels kept telling me I'd have if I stuck with it for 30 days... nor did I lose any where near the 20 pounds it said I could "possibly" lose on the box. I did lose a little weight and I feel stronger. Let's face it, girls... Stronger is not what we strive for when we work our butts off! We want to lose POUNDS! So sadly, I'm still after my quest for a decent bathing suit body before the boating season starts. I think I may have to find some other training video that can whip my butt into shape. Or maybe I'll get back to the dreaded... RUNNING! I hate running!

I'm still doing Weight Watchers and I follow it really good which is why I don't understand that I gained a pound back this week. How is it I can go months eating jellybeans, fried foods and drinking Dr. Pepper - in moderation, of course - and not gain much, but when I start eating good things like fruits, vegetables, and lean meats I gain weight? Hmmm... I'm thinking I deserve a big, giant Dr. Pepper this weekend! I did do my measurements and I lost an inch around my waist, butt and thighs... so that's slightly encouraging. Guess I'll keep plugging away and hope the weight-loss fairy visits my house soon!

And in other news... Clay is still obsessed with Toy Story...

Can you tell? This is how Daddy let's him ride to school. Mommy is obviously a meany-head since I don't let him take the whole brood. That's OK... Mommy sings "What I Like About You" and "St. Elmo's Fire" at the top of her lungs on the way to school... beat that, Daddy!

Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

OK, the pound you gained is muscle. From doing the Jillian thing. If you did that for 30 days, I guarantee you that you built muscle which weighs more than fat. So frustrating though, right? I just started a Zumba class and it is a fun way to keep moving for an hour. You should check to see if anyone is offering it in Scottsboro. Clay and his obsessions crack me up!
