Have I LOST my mind?!?!

Okay- so, day ten is down in the books.  Ten days of sweating away with Jillian Michael's 30 day shred.  After about day 5, the intense soreness started wearing off... though I still had some discomfort (as you would expect)... it wasn't terrible.  The pain has served as a reminder that I'm training flab into muscle and burning calories while I do it.  Yesterday, day nine- I decided that I was ready to move on to level two... a day early.  I'd pretty much mastered level one and I've seen results already from my work.  So, today, I started it up and began my new workout...which I will continue for at least the next 10 days.  I can tell you that the 27 minute circuit training workout I endured today with Jillian made me HATE her.  All the research that I've done on this video and the results... the whole cyber world discusses and pains over level two.  I NOW understand WHY!  She is nuts!  Seriously, I wanted to hurt her.  Now, on the flip side of that... as I"m watching inch by inch my muffin top disappearing... at those times I LOVE her.  So. It is what it is.  In the meantime, I am recording my progress... and there HAS been progress!  My dieting... or calorie counting... or whatever you call it is also going well.  There is some mental switch with me when I work out as hard as I have been... I think twice before I shove garbage in my mouth.  I'm fighting to get off extra weight... I'm killing myself in sweat... so, I don't have to have sugars or fast foods.  I'm okay with that.  In fact, today as I hit the grocery store- I realized in hindsight, I spent the majority of my time (and budget) in the fresh foods- fruits and veggies.  My kids are just going to love me! (insert sarcasm here).  Ten days in- I feel energized, refreshed, and motivated.  Full steam ahead!!!

Anyone else out there working on weight loss goals???
