    Track: Yes
    Calories: Under, 5/2 fasting day
    Exercise: 65min. walking 4 miles on the treadmill at 4.0
    Water: 96oz.

    Comments: Spent the night in the ER with massive leg cramps :s:(:'( in my previously injured leg. So the next two weeks I'll need to tone down my exercise quite a bit to be safe. Hopefully I can still get to my goal weight---will have to reassess my diet also.

    So sorry to hear that. Hope you are feeling better, Nancy. I used to get painful leg cramps in my calf muscles. No joke, they hurt like hell.

    Daily Report Tue 23 Oct

    Tracking: Yes
    Calories: Under
    Exercise: Yard work and pool cleaning.

    Two more weeks before I can continue cardio with my weight/strength training. Tweaked my knee while in Florida, but no pain or swelling this time. Met with nutritionist for this month, good news no muscle loss. But no gain. BMI down, hopefully I can start replacing fat with muscle soon.

    OhNo, Nancy! So sorry you are hurting! Are you getting enough calcium and potassium? I drink a glass of milk when I get leg cramps and it seems to always help. Don’t know if that would help you! Don’t worry about your weight goal, it will come, but get healthy ! Take care. Hugs!

    Hope you mend soon too, @jcgator2016 ! Having an injury really stinks and really messes with our goals! Take care and heal!

    Oh no! What did the dr say to do about the cramps! ?

    Agree with @jcgator2016 - muscle cramps are no joke. My mom used to get hellish ones in the middle of the night.

    What are you taking for them?

    <3 Thank you Chris... hmmm that is a very good question--- actually I think I may have been omitting my calcium intake over the past weekend (no protein shakes on the weekend)... I'm mostly dairy free. I do take a multivitamin. You are so right though--- maybe I need a banana every once in a while too--- something else I've omitted in my quest to lower carbs--- :s

    Mary...omg are they ever painful--I had some involuntary screams and jumps... it was terrible. The ER doc didn't really offer me any solution other than to rest. It was my previously injured leg that was cramping...so they just needed to check it to make sure there wasn't any vascular issue. Chris mentioned lack of Potassium and Calcium as a possible issue--- which could be.

    Having to slow down now stinks--- I'm finally seeing some progress and now I'm stalled :s:/

    Thanks so much for your awesome support---this group has been so good to me! <3o:):)
