Day #55 - Leg cramps and swollen ankles.
Starting weight (7/15/08): 279.8
Yesterday: 262.2 Today: 260.6
Change today: -1.6 Loss-so-far: 19.2 lbs.
WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I’m down at the BOTTOM of the 260’s and maybe-just-maybe-pretty-soon I’ll be saying goodbye to that particular group of ten FOREVER!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!
Ahem. Okay, I’m back in control. Sitting in front of my computer instead of dancing around the room. =D
Speaking of dancing around the room, it’s all I’ve been doing for the past three days. Every spare moment I’m out there in front of the DDR, shakin’ my booty and lovin’ it. OMG I am so addicted to this thing! So addicted that I woke up in the middle of the night with a horrible cramp in my thigh. In my thigh! I’ve never had a charley-horse in my thigh before! I didn’t know how to make it go away… standing up didn’t work. Walking didn’t work. I was in agony for about… 2 whole minutes. And then it went away by itself. Ugh.
Also, my ankles and knees are swollen. Which makes me happy actually, because I sustained a weight loss even THOUGH I have exercise-related-swelling. Which means when the swelling goes down I just might see some more loss on the scale… I hope so!
Oh, I also measured myself today and since I started (back in January), I’ve lost a total of 16 inches! The most significant changes are 2 inches from my waist and 2 1/2 inches from each thigh! YEEEEHAWWWWW!!
OMG I’m so celebrating EVERYTHING today! I can’t help it, I’m just excited and happy - to be making progress, to be up and moving, and to be feeling so damn GOOD!
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WONDERFUL!!!!!! Getting a little caught up; sounds like you are doing very well; it’s good to have a happy day—-we all beat ourselves up WAY too much here.
We had Gustav on the way home from the camping trip, then Hanna last week-end….thank God Ike is going elsewhere.
Congrats to your son on his permit; wish I could say my 16yo is a natural but she isn’t by ANY stretch of the imagination.
Hi Eileen!
Lol, no reason to step quietly, as I was always quite the thunderfoot. Thanks for your support, but if my dad keep up the way he has been - I will be losing weight in great fashion - from the prison yard. My only worry about is becoming someone unwilling girlfriend as I have a lot more bark than bite. lol.
You have me blogrolled!!! I am soooooooo honored.
I am SOOOO jealous that you can play DDR. I live in this really old house and the floor shakes when I walk - I am afraid if I start jumping around I would end up going through the floor and knocking down every piece of artwork on my walls.
You rock on with your bad self though!

Oh, and this scene from this movie Grandma’s Boy will leave you in stitches. It is a DDR dance off. lol.

Ohhh that is fabulous — I said goodbye to the 260’s a few years ago and its a nice place to not visit again. Sounds like you will never go back. Geesh I forgot all about DDR — now I have to get my sweetie searching for it BIG TIME — sounds like a hoot. We play with the Wii Fit and its fun -but I want to up the fun factor.
