Day 103

Now on to my more regular posting.

Weight: 240.8 lbs

I attended boot camp last night and it seems evident that I will have to do modifications on some of the exercises.

There are only 2 of us in the class who are over 200 lbs and there are some things that, with how our fat is individually distributed, we cannot do as shown.

As well, I definitely need to get supports for my knees (but the knee braces at Shoppers Drug Mart were all too small as I need it to accommodate 25 inches width above my knees and 20 inches width below them.

(Yes, most of my excess lies from my knees to my belly button).

And I hurt my left leg in the same spot as I hurt myself last time except this time it felt more like a balloon popping and then someone stabbing me in that area.

Had to stop for an ice pack on the way home and then soaked in a tub of eucalyptus scented Epsom salts.

1G1D1Y has given me her scale for the moment to have a break from the addiction to the numbers since that can be an unhealthy fixation, especially when they aren't changing as much as one would like to see.

Yesterday afternoon I was practicing sit-ups while playing on the floor with Baby Girl and BG seemed to find it amusing.

I also lifted BG into the air and down again while I was on the floor for 12 reps.

Yes, Mommies of the world -- babies enjoy being used as weights!
