I forgot to weigh in this morning!  I slept in late and then Hubby and I decided we were going out for lunch and in all the rushing around to leave I totally forgot about weighing myself.  Oh well, hopefully I’ll have good news from Mr. Scale tomorrow morning.

I feel good!!  My knee is feeling so much better and I had no pain at all this evening when I put in my hour of DDR.  I’m still skipping the jumps but getting a good workout nevertheless.  I work up a sweat every time, probably because as I progress and get more coordinated, I’m able to move faster and do harder step combinations. 

There’s a “grade” with each song (at each level), and though I’m still working in the “Light” level, there are faster songs and slower songs and more and less complicated routines that go with them.  What I’ve started doing now is I’ve been concentrating on those songs that I previously got a C or D on, and work to bring them up to an A or B.  Then after I’ve managed that, I’ll go back and try the ones I got an “E” on (failing).  Some of them are really fast!!!  They seem impossible, but I know the ones I’m getting C’s on now - they too seemed utterly impossible when I first started out as a beginner.

Woooohoooo I’m so happy to be DDRing again!!!
