@joanna2012B You can do my jump roping! When I was a young kid we did it everyday in gym class. I loved it! That was before I got fat, and messed up my knees. I could do it for 5 minutes strait back then. We had an annual fund raiser called jump rope for heart. You had to be able to jump for 5 minutes strait to qualify, to participate. Then on the day, as a team of 5, we had to jump for 3 hours. Wow, I sure miss that.
Well folks, yesterday I didn't do so hot on accomplishing all my goals, but I did do the important ones. 15000 steps, lots of water, under calories. My knee was hurting yesterday (too much jump roping the day before)
Today I am going to get my arms videos done, and maybe 5-10 more minutes jump roping.
Have a great day everyone!1 -
@jdelaroy we did Jump Rope for Heart too. However, I was on a Jump Rope team and we performed in front of other schools around our County. I was quite good and still am for that fact. I still love skipping now as much as I did back then. I started back up about 6 months ago. I struggled skipping for 2 minutes, but now can just keep going. I could've done the 30 minutes in one shot if I had time!
Keep at it...you're doing great!!!!!!1 -

Saturday should be a much better day since you got all that done...that'll be awesome!!
Kasi - sorry your life has been so crazy. Hope your new schedule is what you were wanting. Sorry to hear about the foot problem...hope that's something that'll get better soon. No fun being injured!! As for the purple, I would check to see if they are good at counting that as one color. I remember they mentioned v8 but I think it was that you couldn't use it for multiple colors all in one shot. I'd double check though in case you get to a point where that make or breaks the challenge.
I think I should be good on that one. I only counted it as one color. Its very purple not sure what else I'd call it, lol! I actually bought this a few days ago just out of curiosity. Its a little more on the bitter side for me but my son made a smoothie with it, a banana, and some frozen berries and it was really good.
Remember, you must consume a minimum of 2 colors per day. At least 5 different colors
must be used over the span of the five days. Juice is allowable, but will only count as one color. You may not simply drink a glass of V-8 and claim you're done!
@MissionEnforcer, am I good on this one?0 -
I totally planned on getting the jump roping done today but my foot really hurts. I did 5 minutes and I will try to do more a little later. I ran and danced yesterday but forgot to put the special insoles in my gym shoes so I'm really feeling it today
Lbenson, My new schedule is great! I use to work nights and weekends and I hated it! Now, I work 6am to 3pm. Sundays off and I only work every other Saturday! I actually get to see my kids now I'm very happy... I just need to readjust my routine to stay on track. 2 -
@Joanna2012B you are right. A great way to enhance your running/cardio. This morning, I pulled out my C25K app and went to the first day of the first week. Did jump roping when it said to run and walked on the treadmill when it said to walk. All the breaks made the jump roping doable and somewhat enjoyable (HIIT Training). For me, trying to do all of it without stopping was more than I could do.2

Beautiful weather today in Wisconsin. Took grandson for a hour walk/jog in his stroller. Between the jump roping this week and the hills on the trail today my ankles and lower legs are sore. I need to get a second color in today. Maybe beets. Also questioning if banana is white group or yellow. I have seen it in two different groups on different charts. Will ask to be sure.1

You are NUTS!
I did 5 straight minutes and thought I was going to die. It's easier to run a mile. In fact, if I could run 30 miles over the week instead of doing 30 minutes of jump rope, I would run! I'm a fairly fit person, but I guess if you haven't done an activity in decades, it can hit you hard. I HOPE it gets easier. I still have 25 more minutes to do! If I had realized how hard it was going to be, I would have started sooner. My bad...

@murdog3t Happy belated birthday! I hope you had a fantastic night!
That jump roping has been killing me, now I have put it off for two days. must get it done! I have loved the food one. So much fun, I thought it might be hard. But I have discovered I have been eating the rainbow for the last few months and not really thinking about it. Over the last 4 months I have added in so many more vegetables into my diet.
@kimmy5280 Great idea, I had thought about bringing my jump rope with me to work, and doing some of it at lunch instead of my walk. I didn't bring it, now I wish I had.4 -

Kasi - I had forgotten they said juice was ok, just remembered that he said something about the v8 so wanted to be careful. I'm sure you are good on that one now!! Sorry to be a pain. Lol.0

These days have been absolutely flying by for me. Work is crazy...in fact I might have to go in this Saturday too. I have vacation starting a week from today and it seems like you always have to work extra hard to take any time off. I finished the jump rope this morning...thank goodness!! Already had the arm videos done and am planning on having oatmeal with blueberries or raisins this morning to be able to post for my 5 points sometime today. Phew!! Will be nice to have all the challenge points done. Hope everyone's having a great week!!3

Laura, please make sure you are super careful. This is definitely not worth tweaking your back out. When you get a chance, do you mind putting 0s in the spreadsheet for the days you were unable to do any exercising. This let's us know you are still in this with us, as does the posting in here. Thanks so much. I know I'm a pain with my spreadsheet requests but I'm trying to make sure I stay on top of everything for the benefit of the team.1 -
I was able to get all challenges in. Didn't get as much minutes as I wanted to but what can you do. Work has been crazy busy and stressful for me, which is totally reflected in my food log. I stress eat like crazy and right now do not have any self control. Got a workout in this morning and getting ready to go in to work again. Gotta just keep telling myself it will all be worth it in less than a week when I leave for vacation next Friday!! Hope everyone has a terrific Saturday!!2

Woo hoo, I finished the arm challenge. I liked the one with the weights, the other one with the really perky girl, I just wanted to throw something at her, That video killed my arms. I am an arm weakling. Now to finish jump roping. Hopefully, get that one done. Have a fabulous day! 2

All updated I picked exercises that wouldn't bother my back and made sure to stretch. I think my workout buddy figured it out, stress is upsetting my back. Maybe we need a meditation or yoga challenge soon, I am terrible about finding distressing activities
