Sigh.

Monday will be 150 days.  I have spent the entire month bouncing around the same pound.  Sometimes, it went up, sometimes down, but my weigh in today is exactly the same as it was a month ago.  I'm on Day 13 of the 30 Day Shred, and I've been busting my ass trying to break out of what seems to be a huge stall in my getalong.  To say I'm disappointed would be a massive understatement.  I'm losing inches, that's for sure.  But apparently, that's not enough to budge the scale.  According to that damnable thing, I've lost 17" overall, but built muscle at exactly the same rate as I've lost fat - if not faster.  As it's pretty unlikely for that to happen, I'm about six kinds of confused, and I'm hating every minute of it.  I know that not everything will be perfect every time.  I know that it's more important that the inches come off than that the scale say something lower.  All the same, I'm unimpressed.  I'm not willing to give up, but there are days that sure sounds like a good idea.

I talked to TrainerBrother Uncle Fritz last night.  He took one look at what I've been up to and told me the KNOCK IT OFF.  I'm trying to do doing entirely too much.  In addition to my 30DS workout, I've been doing 60+ minutes of cardio (walking with LP in the bike trailer) alternating with a lifting program.  Apparently, I need to eliminate the lifting entirely (the 30DS covers that), and knock the cardio back significantly.  We'll see if that helps.  I also need to sort out why I'm not losing the water weight I'm carrying from cycle past.  All in all, it's not a fun time in my head, but at least there's progress of some sort.
