Wow! A lot of blogs have been posted since I last logged on. Gooooo Team Cookie Monster!
I'm still enjoying the daily workouts. Push-ups are getting better and I'm continually feeling a burn while working withe the resistance bands. I have found that I need extra motivation on the jump ropes so I put my head down, trudge forward and JFD. I'm feeling some aches in my knees and ankles from the jumping rope, but nothing too bad. Each day is different though. Sometimes I can go 300 with no trip-ups while other days, I will mess up every 50. On a good note, the endurance is getting better and I only need one break nowadays when doing 800-900 jumps. Ah well, I'm just gonna push through the exercises and knock 'em out.
Like Patrick said, I have received a few compliments from friends, saying I look slimmer. I can justify it because my favorite jeans are not as tight in the waist. That is pretty awesome.
The weekend flew by. Saturday I had lunch out with a old friend. Stayed pretty spot on to the PCP diet, grilled chicken over fresh greens, no salad dressing and some wheat bread. Sunday I ran volleyball clinics for 12-18 year olds and had my college practice as well. I am not ready for work tomorrow, well more like I do not want to go to work tomorrow. But guess I'll treat it like my workouts, put my head down and trudge to work!
G'night team cookie monster. I have a feeling my dreams will be of cookie-intoxication, but as long as the cookies stay in my dreams, I'm safe for now...
That's awesome that you can do so many jumps with only one break! I feel like I need a break ever 150 because of major leg burn!
ReplyDeleteJeans loose at the waist: my favorite sign of progress. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteI've also noticed that I'm not requiring quite as many breaks in my jumps... and my tripping is similarly random. I think sometimes it's because I'm rushing a bit to move on, either for a scheduled event or just a different exercise. I'll be glad when we're not counting...
