May I just say that I love getting comments?!  They  are so much fun to read AND it makes me feel that I’m not so all alone in this whole change-my-entire-life-work-my-ass-off-find-low-carb-things-to-eat diet thing!!

I worry sometimes, though, that if I reply to a comment in the comments area, that the person I’m replying to won’t go back to the comments area and see the replies to their comments (and therefore know that their comment has been not only read but also acknowledged) if my reply is posted in the comments area.  (Did ya get that?  I almost confused myself, typing that.) 

So anyway, I’m thinking maybe I’ll do what I’ve seen some others do and if I have a reply then I’ll just post it in my next day’s post instead of in the comments area.  I think it’s more likely to be noticed there by the person whose comment I’m replying to. 

OMG I’m moving on.  Before I have to whack myself on the back of the head for being such a doofus!  Heheheh.

I woke up in the wee hours of the morning with another cramp in my thigh - this time the left thigh.  OHHHHhhh it hurt so BAD!  It lasted about five minutes this time and I woke my hubby up with my yellin’.  He has cramp medication and even though it makes me a little groggy I’m gonna start taking it until I get past the muscle-shock of doing the DDR thing.

It occurred to me that maybe some people don’t know what DDR is.  Well, it could happen!!  I might not have known what it was - I’m old after all - if not for my kids and for the movie “Music and Lyrics,” lol.  So anyway, I went looking for a video of someone playing DDR at home and found this one:

It’s a mother-and-daughter and I honestly can’t tell which one is which, but the one on the left is playing on “heavy” mode and I think the one on the right is playing on “light,” or maybe “standard,” I don’t know.  In any case, it shows how a person looks when playing the game - umm.. how a thin person looks, anyway.  I don’t look like that at all.  I’m happy to report, however, that I can now do CERTAIN song selections on “light” instead of beginner and have even rated B’s and C’s on that level.  Woohooo! I’m getting better!

Okay, I have a few comments I wanna respond to:

Delita:  The pants I was wearing - they were size 26/28.  I put off buying that size for a long time because I just didn’t want to admit that I really was that big.  Anyway, I was size 22/24 for a long time so I have lots of clothes that size.  But still.. I like the idea of shopping!!

brseay:  Thanks for stopping in!  =D  The cake was a low-carb mix and was way, way too good.  I think I wrote, “I can trust myself,” did I write that?  LOL no I can’t.  I went over my calories and carbs yesterday and it was all the cake’s fault!

xyourbellemortex:  Paula, I watched the “fat kid DDR” video - Holy crap!! It took a LOT of practice for that kid to get that good - he must have eaten massive amounts of food to maintain his weight while exercising that much… either that or he has a metabolic disorder of some kind!
