Day Three: Signs of Hope

Today was my third day rebounding on the Cellerciser.

Some not so good things:

-The springs are starting to get squeaky again already. Thinking I'm gonna have to come up with something else to lube the springs other than 3 in 1 oil.

-Since I'm bouncing on carpet the constant shimmying of the legs is getting disconcerting. Not in an "OMG I think this thing is about to break" way, but it's distracting and is changing the way I'm bouncing to try and adjust for the movement instead of just enjoying the bounce. Thinking about wrapping the inside of the legs with some duct or electrical tape to try to minimize the movement.

Now on to the good things.

-The past couple days I've felt stronger and more energetic, and I'm not feeling like I just stepped in front of a bus like I did when using the cheapie Walmart trampoline.

-Both the kid and the wife have been spotted bouncing on the rebounder with no prior prodding from me. The family that bounces together stays healthy together.

-When I weighed myself Monday morning my weight was 205. This morning after some process of elimination (taking a dump) I weighed in at a cool 200! My target weight is 170 so I still have a ways to go, but the fact that the number is going down and not up is encouraging.
