Late Night Misery

I knew better. I knew from the stiffness in my ankles and shins to take extra potassium. I didn't. And boy, did I pay for it. At one in the morning my left leg cramped in circular waves and spasms from my hip to my toes. I had to massage my leg and hip for a while before it finally loosened up and I could walk to my bathroom to get my potassium. I took two, then high-tailed it upstairs and grabbed a banana and ate that. This one-two punch always works to keep my legs from cramping, again.

At least both of them didn't go. That is really fun, let me tell you! :P

I recently read that pickles or pickle juice is even better than a banana for leg cramps. I'll have to remember pickles when I go shopping. A good reason to keep them around. Never mind I love the damned things and can down them by the jar.

I got a late start, this morning. I was up late, then awakened with the leg cramps, slept like shit the rest of the night and finally went into a deeper sleep, this morning. My widdle eyes are burning and my dark circles have dark circles. I look and feel like Aunt Hagatha. lol

I have had my morning coffee... Only one cup. Methinks a second is in order, my brain is still fuzzy as a stuffed panda. Oatmeal is eaten and water is headed down the gullet in fast order. *burp* I definitely am going to grab that second cup of java as soon as I wrap up this bit of natter.

What is today? Tuesday. I think I will jump on my scale on Friday. See how things are going. Hopefully, I am beginning to pick up some of my old momentum. I have lost about 120 pounds. But I still have, by my calculations, another 140 or so to go. This is doable. I just need to stay my course. Be committed and remember that this is for me.

And I am worth it! :D

I love this song. I listen to it often and the message is clear. If the F-bomb offends you, don't click play. This is the original version of this song. It is NSFW, so if you are at the office, use headphones! lol  I could have chosen the "clean" version, I suppose but censorship kind of pisses me off. :) I am posting the video with lyrics, in case you would like to read along as you listen.

You want to know what just occurred to me? I am almost halfway to my goal weight. Yeah, baby. In about twenty pounds, it is all down hill from there. :D

Okay, I have to run. That coffee is calling to me. And I need to get a load of whites into the washer and do some housework. Dragging my tired ass off the sofa, now.

Really.

I am going.

Really...

:P
