30(ish)

I'm not to sure about my counting skills - I think there are 30 days left until the end of the six week body project.

I am also still not sure about how much I weigh. I returned the second broken scale and exchanged it for what I hope will be a functional one. I'm feeling kind of conflicted about weighing myself, though - it's really only useful as a motivational tool and I am rolling along pretty well here. Do I need to mess with my head by introducing a number to obsess over? The number does crazy things to my head - "if I lose .43 pounds a day, in 64 days I will have lost 27.52 pounds!" And then I start berating myself if I fail to lose .43 pounds every day. So . . . as long as I keep losing without too much struggle, maybe it is better for the scale to stay in its little box until the 6 week experiment is over.
