I have ankles!!

yesterday, as i was waiting for the elevator (yes, i know, i should be taking the stairs) i was looking at my reflection in the mirror and noticed that i have ankles now! for those that do not know, i have had a problem with my ankles always being swollen, causing cankles (calf extends to the ankles). i guess this whole working out is making a difference! i couldn't believe it! wow, Mr. ankles, i hadn't seen you in the longest! i was beginning to think that i didn't have ankle bones! lol!
this morning i weighed myself and i down to 256.6! with 261 being my heightest weight since i started the working out, that means i have lost 5 pounds! yeah! finally, the scale is starting to work in my favor! yes, i must admit that by miracle, i didn't over eat last night like usual (perhaps its that i got in a spiff with my husband so i fell asleep really early; not time to overeat). whatever the case may be, Ive lost 5 pounds. that gives me motivation to keep doing what I'm doing.
this morning, i am going to have oatmeal with a splenda and a tad bit of raisins and egg whites with cheese.
i am going to the gym again today at lunch time. it is the zumba class. i have to say, a LONG time ago, i had taken this class with the same instructor. the instructor is a nice gal, so nice, that when i couldn't keep up with the class and couldn't get down the steps, she stopped the class to stand by me to show me how the steps were done. not a big deal, right? WRONG! i felt like such a failure! here she was, stopping the whole class just to show me how to do it! all the attention was drawn to me! how embarrassing! i felt like the "fat girl that couldn't keep up"! needless to say, i never took that class again. oh, and that episode was accompanied with nonstop crying. so going back to today, i am taking that class again, but why, you ask? well, since i have my funny friend Doris (thank you, Doris) to accompany me, the instructors attention is focused on her, not me! LOL! poor Doris, the instructor now stop the class to she her how its done! but there is a big difference between Doris and i. firstly, she is not even half as fat as i am, and secondly, she doesn't give a damn what anybody else thinks (again, thank you, Doris)! Doris' special way helps me get through this class! so wish me luck guys, i am doing zumba today!
